It’s that time of the year when JOY asks for your support to remain being out, loud and proud – JOY Radiothon.

This year, we’re mixing it up with JOY by combining JOYEurovision and babblePOP! to bring back babbleVISION!

Michael and Io play some Eurovision classics alongside new bops and bangers in the same languages to help you celebrate with JOY.

Io’s enjoying the World Cup, while Michael’s shopping for a pirate shirt. And we’re looking forward to inviting (soon to be) famous drag queen Roy Jadiothon to JOY for next year’s Radiothon spectacular.
