Wake up with JOY Breakfast – the feel-good way to start your day. Join Mietta, Jason & Dr Cat as they unpack the stories everyone’s talking about (and a few you didn’t know you needed), from pop culture moments and internet buzz to politics, health and queer life.

Each episode blends big headlines with sharp opinions, expert insights from Dr Cat, and plenty of laughs along the way.

New episodes every Tuesday 7-9am

This week’s topics: We dive into The Drama, the unsettling new Zendaya and Robert Pattinson film, and in gaming chaos, Kim Kardashian drops into Fortnite with a full “Lara Crofted” fantasy. We cover the Girlguiding trans-exclusion protests in the UK, hundreds rallying nationwide, and celebrate 50 years of iconic Perth queer nightclub Connections (AKA “Connies”) – from opening in 1975 when it was still illegal to be gay in WA, to now holding the title of the longest-running club in the southern hemisphere. Dr Cat teaches us her favourite Auslan signs, like “queer” (yes, over an audio medium). Mietta breaks down Taylor Swift’s new six-part Apple documentary with Stephen Colbert, the Golden Globes’ new podcast award, and Kate Winslet directing her son’s first film. We get festive with With Love, Meghan, shout out Sundaylicious, and run through your early Christmas Day forecast around Australia. Plus: Lily Allen’s SNL performance, SNL’s “Uber Eats Wrapped”, Rolling Stone crowning Lorde’s Royals the best Aussie/Kiwi song of the 21st century so far (with Kylie’s Can’t Get You Out of My Head at number two), and the most popular touring artists of the millennium, featuring Coldplay, U2 and Ed Sheeran.
