It’s that time of the year when JOY asks for your support to remain being out, loud and proud – JOY Radiothon.

This year, we’re mixing it up with JOY by combining JOYEurovision and babblePOP! to bring back babbleVISION!

Michael and Io play some Eurovision classics alongside new bops and bangers in the same languages to help you celebrate with JOY.

Io’s enjoying the World Cup, while Michael’s shopping for a pirate shirt. And we’re looking forward to inviting (soon to be) famous drag queen Roy Jadiothon to JOY for next year’s Radiothon spectacular.

There's a particular kind of glitter that doesn't wash off for months, and a specific enthusiasm that arrives every spring. JOY Eurovision lives in that space year-round. More than just a recap show when the contest lights up our screens, this podcast dives deep into the music, the politics, and the sheer spectacle that makes Eurovision a global phenomenon for the LGBTIQA+ communities and allies who cherish it. You'll hear from the team at JOY 94.9 as they break down the latest news, analyze the competing entries with a keen ear, and share the unique perspectives that come from a rainbow community for whom Eurovision has always felt like a home. Expect thoughtful commentary, lively debates, and interviews with people who are just as passionate about the contest's history and its future. It’s for anyone who knows the lyrics to a losing entry from 2007, who debates the merits of a key change, and who believes the song contest is a vibrant, evolving celebration of diversity and pop culture. Tune in to find your people and get the full story behind the performances.
