This programme was broadcast on World Polio Day and at the end of Australia’s National Bird Week. And also at the end of a week where the Victorian Pride Centre, home to JOY 94.9, played host to a Covid pop-up vaccination centre. Thus, nods to all that, especially polio survivors, during this show. Playlist: 24 October 2021 – Rameau: Castor et Pollux: Tambourins I & II.
