In Ya Face is one of the longest running queer radio shows in Australia and has been on-air since 1992.
The program explores LGBTIQA+ and current socio-political issues with interviews, music, and commentary. We speak with people engaged in stimulating and provocative projects in queer, feminist, and activist communities - whether it be political or social activism, advocacy, the arts, and personal narratives.
We give queer perspectives on local and international current affairs, social issues, and politics, with an intersectional approach. We play eclectic tracks and love the quirk factor.
This show is created and produced on the stolen lands of the Wurundjeri and Boonwurrung people of the Kulin Nation. We pay respect to Elders, past, present, and emerging, and acknowledge the continued resilience of First Nation peoples in the face of ongoing colonisation and settlement. We acknowledge sovereignty was never ceded, and a treaty was never signed.
Interviews with Dean Arcuri & Nevena Spirovska.
Dean Arcuri chats about his Midsumma kinky cabaret show To Sir With Glove and reflects on his career and life as a queer performer in Melbourne.

Nevena Spirovska from the Victorian Pride Lobby talks about their Chechnya campaign and petition, the LGBTIQ inclusion controversy at the City of Port Phillip, equal opportunity and anti-vilification reforms, and the needs of queer community organisations as we approach the Victorian state budget.

When you think about radical leadership who comes to mind? Who are the bold and fearless leaders whose politics encompass women and gender diverse people? Whose work centres Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people because they understand our freedom is tied to Aboriginal sovereignty? A COVID-19 world shone a light on the stark differences between rich and poor, employed and unemployed, black and white.
