About this episode

The episode features a lively discussion on queer culture and important LGBTQIA+ issues with guests Leasa Mann and Joe Ball.

Wake up and roll into your Thursday with Joel & Mama Mish, along with sassy Liam for JOY Breakfast – a funny, cheeky, and delightfully unpredictable morning show that mixes news, nostalgia, and nonsense with a lot of laughs. The team dove headfirst into queer culture, community, and chaos with an inspiring chat with Melbourne drag icon Leasa Mann about the MEDEAs – celebrating the heart, glamour, and glorious emotional instability of Melbourne’s drag and nightlife scene. Closest to the Pin was back again – did JOEL lose again? The good vibes kept flowing in RESET with uplifting stories from around the globe + Joel celebrated his 1 year on Breakky Radio. The show tackled some important conversations with Victoria’s LGBTQIA+ Commissioner Joe Ball around anti-LGBTQIA+ rhetoric, Pride in sport, emotional exhaustion in the queer community, and why visibility still matters more than ever. The post (52). Thursday Breakfast: Wake up and roll into Thursday with Joel and Mama Mish appeared first on JOY Breakfast .
