Gotta have a mike - or a Mike!
I’M BAAACK!!
Doug is back on Freshly Doug, Thursday from Nine till Noon.
And thanks to everyone who stepped in and kept the show going while I was away, including Ben here, TJ and Kezza on the podcasts, and of course Tim Newton.
And thanks also to all of you for your messages of sympathy at my mother’s passing. Thank you.
WASHINGTON POSTS
Harley Dennett joins us live from Washington DC with the latest from the US midterm elections and what they mean for our community.
RJM TRUSTS NOT IN LABOR
Well, we’re now in election mode. Premier Brumby has kicked off with a package of measures allegedly worth $2.5m, which has got some activists in the community salivating. But not Rob Mitchell. He explains why.
SEX PARTY STANDING
The Australian Sex Party is standing in Victoria for the first time. I wonder how they’ll do. Party leader Fiona Patten joins us to explain why we should be voting ASP not ALP. **
LESBIAN CRIME
You may remember a few weeks ago I interviewed Melbourne crime writer Kerry Greenwood. Her latest book, Out of the Black Land, is published by a new company, Clan Destine Press, and the proprietor Lindy Cameron, joins us today to celebrate the launch of her company, and her own new lesbian crime novel.
AN HOUR BYOND THAT’S SO GAY
Regular listeners will know we always spend some time catching up with Daniel Witthaus. His tour confronting homophobia around Australia, Beyond That’s So Gay, is drawing to a close, so between 10 and 11 we’ll be Digging Deeper with Daniel to find out a bit more about this remarkable man.
CHRISTIAN PERIL
Christians tend to get a bad rap from the gay community, because of the rigid attitudes espoused by some branches of Christianity. Anthony Venn Brown knows all about it – he used to be an evangelical preacher, until he accepted his homosexuality, and he now helps others to reconcile their religion and their sexuality.
ON YOUR BIKE FOR THE HOMELESS
According to some studies, up to 40% of young homeless people are same sex attracted. Do you want to help the homeless? Are you a keen cyclist? Tony Keenan from Hanover Welfare Services will be here to tell us all about how you can get on your bike for the homeless.
