For this program, we were Out, Loud, Live and Proud from the JOY studios for a very special JOY Radiothon show! JOY Radiothon is back from 1-7 June 2024, and in celebration of 30 years of Australia’s LGBTQIA+ community media organisation helping our communities flourish, the theme this year is FLOURISH. We wanted to highlight the importance of community media and local film festivals supporting each other to thrive and flourish so we were joined by St Kilda Film Festival director Richard Sowada and Melbourne Queer Film Festival’s CEO David Martin Harris to tell us about their upcoming events in June and also discuss how their respective organisations continue to highlight our stories and create stroing community connections. We also encourage you to join and re-new your membership, make a donation or purchase an item from the new JOY Merch’ store and help support JOY 94.9 to remain a voice for our community and continue nto flourish for another 30 years!
