March Member Update

New programs on JOY

We have a new grid coming out on 3 April and are excited to announce that it contains some really varied and inclusive content that works towards strengthening the diversity of voices that are heard on JOY. Here are some of the shows we'd like to highlight.

CEO update

The last four weeks seem to have flown by in a blur, with the tail end of our Queer festival season keeping everyone at JOY extra busy.Over a third of our talented volunteers were involved in some way with our epic Mardi Gras weekend broadcast

Podcasting

Did you miss out on all the action as we broadcast live from Oxford Street for the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras earlier this month? Never fear! Our dedicated team of podcasters have outdone themselves by adding over
65 podcast episodes from our huge weekend of Mardi Gras broadcasting on JOY, SBS digital, and nationally on the Community Radio Network. 

Our volunteers 

Our Volunteer Thank-You Card peer recognition program encourages JOY volunteers to nominate each other for acknowledgement and celebration. All of our volunteers are stars – here are just a few who we all think are amazing.

Audiovisual update

The Audiovisual Team is currently focusing on creating content to support JOY's up-and-coming Radiothon. They have also been covering community events such as Pride March and uploading accounts of Melbourne's queer history via their archiving project, which includes a tour of JOY's studio in South Melbourne in 2000.

Eurovision Boat Party

Join us for the first-ever Australian Eurovision cruise, brought to you by ESCFAN (the Australian Eurovision Fanclub) and JOY 94.9. Come and sail our ship in celebration of the upcoming 2017 Eurovision Song Contest, with a preview of the competing artists and songs, and a chance to vote for your favourite entry!
