Episode 8: Friday Breakfast with Yiannis and Johnno
It’s another Friday Breakfast, and this week Johnno is away gallivanting around England, so Yiannis is running the show solo. He starts with meditating in public and why it makes him feel so weird, then asks when it’s actually appropriate to go shirtless. He also tackles the dilemmas of not being able to smell, and the art of changing at the beach. Then there’s the burning question: is your shadow hot? Yiannis shares another round of job rejections, spins another Yarn, and wraps up with What’s Good, What’s Not Good, and his hopes and dreams for the weekend.New episodes every Friday.

Wednesday Breakfast: Zoë Badwi Interview
Australian dance music royalty Zoë Badwi joins Brett and Scott on JOY Breakfast to celebrate her brand new single, The Only Way Is Up!, alongside producer James Alexandr.
From her love of The Only Way Is Essex and Gemma Collins to the making of her latest dancefloor anthem, Zoë brings plenty of laughs, nostalgia and behind-the-scenes stories.
We revisit her early days in girl group Sirens, including the Big Brother-era hit I’m So Excited, and discover which iconic outfits she’s still got tucked away. Plus, Zoë reflects on her early recording nerves, performing to an enormous crowd in Brazil, and a rather unexpected gig at a swingers’ party!
It’s a fabulously fun catch-up with one of Australia’s favourite dancefloor voices.

Episode 7: Friday Breakfast with Yiannis and Johnno
It’s another Friday Breakfast, and this week Johnno is away in England, so Teddy is filling in as co-host. Yiannis and Teddy kick things off with the corporate whiteboard, then Yiannis shares his encounter with a bird. The pair also went to the symphony together and report back on the night. Yiannis asks the big question: should he get a pet? He also brings another round of job rejections. In Teddy’s Tantrum, Teddy vents about people rustling chip and chocolate wrappers at the movies, from tearing open the packets to the crinkling noise they make while being eaten. The show wraps up with What’s Good, Not Good, plus their hopes and dreams for the weekend. New episodes every Friday. Subscribe so you don’t miss the next one.
