From Huddersfield to Bangkok, pop fans - are you ready for an adventure? Join Joel and David as they kick start a new ‘Discovering' series where they each pick a hidden gem of an artist from the 2000s and select 5 songs from their catalogue for a taste test! Signed to Jive Records and launched in 1999, British pop starlet Ellie Campbell looked and sounded like a ready-made pop star here for the GMTV and Smash Hits audience! Despite having no formal singing or dance training, Ellie's warm soulful tone and star quality was undeniable. The Yorkshire songstress worked with same hitmakers behind Steps (Pete Waterman, Mark Topham, Karl Twigg), launched a handful of singles - including the UK Top 30 smash ‘So Many Ways' - and even found herself performing at the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras! Though she wasn't in the pop game for long, Ellie's bops are forever - and her self-titled album “Ellie” is a real gem! Before LISA from BLACKPINK, in the 2000s, the world had Thai pop princess Tata Young. Her crossover success in Japan, India, China and across Southeast Asia was pretty much unheard of. Thanks in huge part to her fun signature banger and your new favourite bratty anthem: ‘Sexy, Naughty, Bitchy' (co-written by legendary pop songwriter Savan Kotecha, who has worked with Ariana Grande, Britney, One Direction, and Dannii Minogue). Tata's catalogue of English tunes is top-tier, as she brings her Main Pop Girl Energy to songs that would be released in the West by Ashley Tisdale, The Cheetah Girls, Play and more. The writing credits on her three English albums read like a ‘who's who' of RBAY! royalty - Jamelia, Leona Lewis, Natasha Bedingfield, Samantha Jade etc. If you're liking this ‘Discovering' concept - let Joel and David know in the comments who you'd like us to cover next!

For more than 20 years New South Wales Police have marched in the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. But not this year, with the board of the event telling them to stay away.

But police participation in the event has long caused controversy. Today we unpack why.

In this episode we go back to basics and look at the practical ways of communicating the principle of charity and how certain behaviours over time have been developed for social cohesion, even when we don't all agree. With our special guests – moral philosopher Dr Tim Dean and festival director Danielle Harvey – we have a wide-ranging discussion on what communicating in good faith looks like, what bad faith is, and how to navigate tricky topics. We discuss ways to have hard conversations – be that in person, in events, in podcasts or even in lecture theatres. This takes us to the role of morality, behavioural evolution, and outrage. What do we have in our toolkit that we can use to solve the problems of how to live together peacefully? And just how do you communicate your view or knowledge in a way that can be understood while inviting challenge in a respectful manner? This episode introduces our new partnership with The Ethics Centre, a not for profit organisation who works to bring ethics to the centre of everyday life. We have joined forces, aligned by an intent to bring curiosity and generosity to conversations about the tough topics in our world. Dr Tim Dean is the senior philosopher at The Ethics Centre.

Welcome to a very special installment of Queer Thinking – Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras are celebrating our 45th anniversary in 2023 and over this four-part series we're taking you on a journey through time as we tell the full story of one of the largest pride movements in the world. From the protest of 1978, to over 1 million event attendees at the first WorldPride in the Southern Hemisphere and everything in between – we're unpacking all the moments that made Sydney Mardi Gras the force for pride, progress and community it is today. For our final episode, host Triana Butler speaks to Sydney WorldPride Festival Co-Creative Director Ben Graetz and Equality Australia's Legal Director Ghassan Kassisieh. Ben and Ghassan round out the four-part series and speak to the 2010s, early 2020s and the monumental Sydney WorldPride - as well as share their hopes for the next 45 years of our iconic movement. Queer Thinking is produced on the sacred lands of the Boon Wurrung people of Kulin Nation and will discuss events that took place on Gadigal, Cammeraygal, Bidigal, Darug and Dharawal lands. We'd like to extend our acknowledgement to all lands on which you, our listeners, are tuning in from and pay our respects to Elders past and present, with a special acknowledgment to the Rainbow Elders – part of the longest-continuous culture in the world. Sovereignty has never been ceded. This Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.

From the protest of 1978, to over 1 million event attendees at the first WorldPride in the Southern Hemisphere and everything in between – we're unpacking all the moments that made Sydney Mardi Gras the force for pride, progress and community it is today. First stop: the 70s. Triana is joined by 78er legends Robyn Kennedy and Karl Zlotkowski who share their experiences of being LGBTQIA+ in 1970s Australia. They recall a Sydney on the brink of transformation in the lead-up to the very first Sydney Mardi Gras on 24 June 1978. The events that followed set off a chain of change that still continues today. Queer Thinking is produced on the sacred lands of the Boon Wurrung people of Kulin Nation and will discuss events that took place on Gadigal, Cammeraygal, Bidigal, Darug and Dharawal lands. We'd like to extend our acknowledgement to all lands on which you, our listeners, are tuning in from and pay our respects to Elders past and present, with a special acknowledgment to the Rainbow Elders – part of the longest-continuous culture in the world. Sovereignty has never been ceded. This Always was, always will be Aboriginal land. For our Aboriginal or Torres Strait listeners, please know this podcast may mention the names of the people who are no longer with us.

I am thrilled to be speaking with an out and proud lesbian business owner, Megan Evans, about her colourful hairdressing career and the personal challenges during her journey of coming out to her clientele in a professional setting with support from family and friends. Salon Owner & Educator Megan Evans has a passion for creative colour and technique and loves creating colours, cuts, and styles that are complimentary and flattering for her clients. The hair and beauty industry has always been considered a safer space for people within the LGBTQI+ community, but we still have a long way to go with education, acceptance, and understanding of how to make sure as an industry that works so closely with our community and clients that we continue forward momentum.

Outrageous and subversive, with a heart of gold and possessed with immaculate comic timing, she is the drag persona of performer Graeme Browning. Now residing in the UK, Graeme (and Mitzi) were back in Sydney for their first one-woman show – Mitzi Macintosh – My Life in Lipstick – when this conversation was recorded in 2018. The show was presented as part of the 40th Anniversary Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. Browning's knowledge of drag as an art-form and of a Sydney now past, is extensive He is very much one of the custodians of the vibrant drag scene that existed through the 80s and 90s. Graeme Browning sat down with STAGES, three days after the 2018 Mardi Gras parade and party, to discuss his show, his process, and the art of the drag performer.

She's the co-host of Studio 10, makes regular appearances on The Project, she's a three-time host of the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras, and she's... done lots of other things that are also on her Wikipedia page.But like all of us, Narelda's life has been far from perfect. I mean come on guys, we're all imperfect, surely you've learnt that by now!In this episode, Narelda talks openly about the challenges of falling pregnant as an 18-year-old... and then having to tell her parents. This would be hard for anyone, but Narelda grew up in an extremely religious household and her father was a Reverend of the Uniting Church. But that turned out to be a mere warm up for what was to come three years later, when she came out to her parents as gay.We loved this chat with Narelda. And well, we love Narelda.

In 1978, the first Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras parade was met with violence and arrests. Community attitudes and legislation have changed significantly since then. So, in 2022, what does the Mardi Gras mean for sexuality and gender diverse people, religious or not?
In an explosion of colour, the Mardi Gras spectacle is held each year to bring the community together no matter what their sexual or gender identity may be.
