The official page for the award winning Q***r Radio on 4ZZZ Meanjin/Brisbane - 102.1FM, 4ZZZ DAB/DAB+, Community Radio Plus app, and www.4zzz.org.au live stream/on demand replay We respectfully acknowledge the Traditional Owners & Custodians of the country on which we create Q***r Radio, the Turrbal & Jagerah people of the Yugerah nation. We acknowledge that their sovereignty over this la
nd & waters was never ceded. The award winning Q***r Radio show is a magazine style show, dealing with specific topics and invited guests. Q***r Radio is male-oriented, but not exclusive. Presenting relevant music, guests, news, views and interviews - as well as discussions of s*x, s*xuality and life in general, relevant to the Le***an Gay Bis*xual Trans Q***r, Inters*x, Pans*xual/Polyamorous, As*xual, & 2Spirits community - shorthanded to Diverse in Gender & S*xuality (DiGS)
Since 1978 4ZZZ has continually presented programs in support of the broader q***r identifying community. On 30th September 1992 the weekly le***an and gay program "Gay Waves" changed in both format and name. It became a cycle every three weeks (Wednesdays 6-9pm) of "Q***r Radio" for men, "Q***r Radio" for LGBT's and "The Le***an Show" by and for women. The Q***r Radio shows were to be magazine style, dealing with specific topics and invited guests. The Le***an Show changed its name to D***s On Mykes in the mid-90's. 4ZZZ allocated each show a weekly 2 hour slot in August 2002. Visit www.q***rradio.org for more history on Q***r Radio, information, and an easily accessible set of vital links to q***r sites and support curated by former Q***r Radio co-ordinator John Frame, covering the period from the mid - late 1990s to 2009 when John "retired". We live blog/update on FB & Twitter social media platforms during our show with links to our guests, discussion topics and events plus the music videos of the tunes we play.
