Wake up and roll into your Thursday with Joel & Mama Mish, along with sassy Liam for JOY Breakfast – a funny, cheeky, and delightfully unpredictable morning show that mixes news, nostalgia, and nonsense with a lot of laughs. Mama Mish is away, so Joel is flying the JOY Breakfast plane solo this week — but don't panic, because there's a HUGE show ahead! We're celebrating 70 years of Australian television, counting down TV Week's Top 25 Aussie shows of all time and asking what show had YOU glued to the telly! Joel is joined by the fabulous Darby James to dive into their award-winning Melbourne Fringe show Little Squirt — a hilarious, heartfelt and very cheeky musical cabaret about sperm donation, queer parenthood and the wonderfully absurd journey to making a baby! Plus, after 8am, Joel catches up with the Rogue Traders alongside Tuesday Breakfast's Cat, to chat all things DIRTY DIRTY DISCO, before wrapping up the morning by celebrating legendary Australian filmmaker Baz Luhrmann's 64th birthday.

Kmart's line of smart glasses sold out after their release on 28 July. On Friday, the Attorney-General, Michelle Rowland, appealed to Australia's Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) to investigate the potential privacy implications of smart glasses. This morning, we'd like to revisit a conversation we had with Lucinda Thorpe, Privacy Campaigner at Digital Rights Watch, about surveillance technology and Meta targeting its marketing of its AI glasses towards young women. This interview aired on Tuesday Breakfast on 7 July 2026. For Women on the Line's 40th anniversary, Cleis spoke to the program's first producer and presenter, Deb Welch, about the inception of the show and what was happening at the time for women in radio. In the following segment, you'll hear conversations between Cleis and Deb as well as excerpts from the first episode of Women on the Line, which first aired on July 16, 1986. To listen back to the full conversation, go to 3cr.org.au/womenontheline Renee Nayef, from Students for Palestine and Nat Farah, a community organiser and spoken word poet, address the crowd at the Free Palestine Rally in Naarm on 2 August. In this recording. Farah speaks about the recent Convergence on Pine Gap, in which 600 people gathered at Mparntwe, Alice Springs and the role of Pine Gap in US militarism in Palestine. We hear about the action which brought activists the closest to Pine Gap in 50 years.

SEGMENT - In today's Tier Tuesday Jones and Keefe rank their favorite breakfast cereals!
On this week's episode we look into big tech companies - their complicity in war, their pervasive use of surveillance and data, and the impacts this is having on us as individuals, as artists, and as communities. Our first conversation is with Cher Tan, an essayist and critic whose written work has been published widely. Cher delves into the dark side of Spotify; its ties to the military-industrial complex, its role in stripping artists of their rights and dignity, as well as the way it has homogenised art and culture. Later in the program, we'll hear an interview with Lucinda Thorpe, Privacy Campaigner at Digital Rights Watch, which aired on 3CR's Tuesday Breakfast on 12 August 2025. In this interview, Lucinda outlines the latest Productivity Commission report which calls for a pause on AI regulation; how this benefits big tech companies and the negative impacts this will have on our privacy.
