JOY Weekend Breakfast

Joy superfan 'Wayne from Brisbane' joins us live in the Joy Melbourne Studios! We take a walk down memory lane to understand why JOY means so much to Wayne and so many other members of our extended JOY family.

The gorgeous ISHAN joins us in the studio to share his new singleCardboard Box Apartment,a fun love song about moving out together. "My relationship felt like it was growing and I was excited, come what may, about taking the next step out into the world with someone who felt like my best friend.” Further announcing the release of this forthcoming debut EP, he shares “this song is the first single in a debut five song EP, the connected story of how my first relationship began, fell apart and challenged my sense of what it means to be in love. Welcome to The Cycle of Codependence.”

Will from The Huxleys joins us to discuss their new exhibition DisGraceland at Abbotsford Convent. DisGraceland sees The Huxleys on a wild road trip across rural Victoria for a lurid fever dream capturing the story of two queer alien Elvis’s trying to make it home. The Huxleys embrace the camp, unorthodox presence of how Elvis would have first appeared in small-town USA in the 1950s. Rewriting the history of rock ’n’ roll as a gay love story, The Huxleys have interpreted this in their own queer cosmic fashion. The duo created these photographs and costumes to speak to their continuing interest in escapism and otherworldly glamour.

Kyriakos joins us to talk about their recent appointment to the board of the Sydney Mardi Gras. We reminisce about the joys of the Sydney Harbour Bridge Pride March walk and reflect on the importance of community and showing up. We also talk about Autistic Pride, and the planning that is underway for Autistic Pride 2024.

Joy supporters can support Heath financially via his Go Fund Me campaign and can cheer him on via his instagram page when he competes in the FIG World Challenge Cup Series in September.
