babble POP‪!‬ JOY 94.9 - LGBTI, LGBTIQA+, LGBT, LGBTQ, LGB, Gay, Lesbian, Trans, Intersex Podcasts for all our Rainbow Communities

[Season final: 341 – Celebrating 10 years on air and JOY’s 30th anniversary]

In January 2014, a little music show premiered on JOY 94.9. With a focus on pop music in languages other than English, many thought it would be Eurovision-lite.

How far from the truth that was!

In this final show of season 10, Michael and Io go back to the 1990s in celebration of JOY’s 30th anniversary.

Fire up your Tamagotchi, breakout the parachute tracksuit and enjoy some treats from around the world that you probably didn’t even know existed!
