In Ya Face explores LGBTIQA+ issues with interviews, music and commentary, Friday 4 to 5 pm. On air since 1992. Email presenter and producer James McKenzie at iyf3cr@gmail.com
In Ya Face 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.
Friday, 21 August 2026
Our guests are Euphoria Foundation's Jamal Hakim and Ocean Boy music creator TLO Sydney aka Timo Lorenzen.

Congratulations to Sally Goldner, presenter of Out of the Pan, on her award for Outstanding Contribution to Media at the Victorian Pride Awards on Saturday 15 August. 'This is a first', Sally said accepting the award, 'A queer media award to someone who plays music of all the non-binary kinds, country, western, and classic rock. Oh yeah!'
'I want to thank 3CR in its 50th year for being a leader in Melbourne and the broader not-for-profit and amazing community radio sectors for their 21-year support of Out of the Pan. They’ve been so well placed to be a proactive media leader standing with trans and gender diverse people, and for their support of me personally.'
'Stay difficult. And stay happy. Stay proudly queer. And that’s the bottom line, because Sal Goldner said so!'
Get along to The Boite’s annual fundraiser for 3CR THIS Sunday 2 August, featuring community choirs who generously donate their songs in a fabulous concert at Church of All Nations, Carlton. Join an enthusiastic audience as part of the ongoing celebrations of the station’s 50th year!
