In this episode, Michele speaks with Yandell Walton, a contemporary artist working with moving image and projection installation in non-traditional gallery spaces and public sites, and Willow Franklin, an emerging digital artist who creates through the lens of their queer identity; about Queer in Kingston (QiK). QiK is a new immersive multimedia exhibition by Yandell Walton, Willow Franklin and Queer in Kingston and engages LGBTIQA+ youth aged 14 to 25 years living in Kingston City Council to facilitate and have agency over their creative practice that focuses on themes of queer identity.
The exhibition runs February 7 - March 7 (Mon-Fri 9am-5pm and Sat 12-5pm) at the Kingston Arts Centre, 979 Nepean Hwy, Moorabbin. Free entry. Details.
Michele then speaks with Dan Lee-Bates and Michael Crusius, gay ex-Jehovah's Witnesses and co-founders of Agapé Support Services, a safe refuge, online space, and a newly-formed support group for LGBTIQA+ ex-Jehovah's Witnesses, about how and why the group was created, their lived experiences of shunning and isolation within the religious denomination, and the group's vital role for the ex-Jehovah's Witnesses community.
For more resources on the Jehovah's Witnesses and the lived experience of ex-Jehovah's Witnesses, you may find the following helpful:
- jwfacts.com, a website that outlines if Jehovah's Witnesses have 'the truth' through the examination of its history, doctrinal accuracy, and its belief systems.
- Crisis of Conscience, a biographical book by Raymond Franz, a former member of the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses, written in 1983, three years after his expulsion from the Jehovah's Witnesses religion.

Queering the Air presents critically engaged commentary from a mix of trans, genderqueer, gender diverse, bisexual, pansexual, lesbian, gay, queer, and intersex perspectives.
Each week's show features a fresh feast of ideas, interviews, news, histories, arts, and discussion with an anti-racist, feminist, and anti-capitalist bent. We have a particular interest in the intersection of queerness with other experiences of marginalisation.
Follow us on Facebook and Twitter to find out what's on the menu for the coming weeks.
In 2015, the collective created We Weren't Born Yesterday, a series exploring queer heritage, vocabulary and intergenerational connections in Arab, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Indian communities in Australia. Read more and listen.

These are strange and disconcerting times, and 3CR - as always - is focused on community inclusion, participation and cohesion in order to build a better world. We want to hear from you - whether you're a regular listener, programmer, or you've just found us on the AM dial. Send us a voice memo! Share a radical vision for the future, an inspiring thought for the day, information on a current campaign or your personal insight of the day. Send your short (less than 1 minute) voice memo to reception@3cr.org.au and we'll put it on the radio!
3CR has decided to close its doors to volunteers and guests from Monday 23 March as we try to do our part to minimise the spread of the coronavirus throughout the community. At the front of our minds, is protecting the most marginalised and vulnerable. But we are still here. And we’ll continue broadcasting, 24 hours a day, with radical, alternative content throughout this period – but things will sound a bit different. Some programmers will present their shows on the phone, and we’ll be finding creative ways to bring you our regular programming. So stay tuned, stay safe, and be kind to each other.
Join 3CR on Sunday 8 March as we dish up another feast of radical ideas to end gender inequality. Centring the voices of First Nations, refugee, migrant women and gender diverse people. Challenging liberal and corporate feminisms in discussions on sovereignty, workers rights, abelism, nuclear disarmament, environmental justice, animal rights, music and performance. 11pm Saturday 7 March to midnight Sunday 8 March. For more details go to International Women's Day 2020.
