Youth In Control JOY 94.9 - LGBTI, LGBTIQA+, LGBTQIA+, LGBT, LGBTQ, LGB, Gay, Lesbian, Trans, Intersex, Queer Podcasts for all our Rainbow Communities

Sam talks through all things study – such as how to overcome massive workloads and deal with big problems, while Leon tells of how he came out to his grandparents and what that entailed.

Lauren delves into the representation of Bisexual characters in media such as games, and how it may be problematic while Will talks about one of his favorite all time movies – the velvet goldmine (which is of course an older classic).

The Lovely Lauren discusses their experience with the more subtle forms of homophobia and queerphobia during their high school years, and Shiralee interviews Sam about their volunteer experiences and how they helped shape them.

The wonderful Will interviews their friend who is doing a Thesis on Asexuality representation in youth literature, and Sam delves into the general LGBTI+ meanings of Gatekeeping and Intersectionality, and how they also interact with other communities.

It’s IDAHOBIT! To celebrate this awesome day we got together with Minus 18 and Glenn Eira youth services to talk about things ranging from school pride groups, to facing discrimination, to how actions and words have impacts on our everyday lives. We also delve into IDAHOBIT and explore its past.

Lauren discusses writers who try to avoid LGBTQIA+ tropes in their work. Also, Sam gifts us with another round of Queer 101 where they clarify some common trans and non-binary terminology.
