We went on a bear hunt and found an entire nation of fabulous, fur-flaunting contestants! JOY Breakfast gets fully immersed in Southern HiBearnation 2025 with an in-studio takeover featuring contestants from across Australia and Aotearoa — from Mr Vic Bear to Mr Bear NZ, Mr Perth, Mr QLD, Mr SA, and more. In this bumper episode, we talk everything from charity causes to jockstrap confidence, drag alter egos, mohawks for mental health, inclusive storytelling, disability advocacy, neon piss-yellow beards (yes, really), and the misunderstood anatomy of gendered nipples. Expect laughs, love, vulnerability, and a healthy dose of queer chaos. This is what community sounds like — cheeky, diverse, deeply caring, and barely clothed.

Brett and Tim chat with international pop force and queer icon Seann Miley Moore from the Adelaide Cabaret Festival about stepping into the iconic role of Hedwig in Hedwig and the Angry Inch. With sky-high heels, a platinum wig, and a heart bursting with spirit, Seann takes us through the show’s power, transformation, and how this role became a bucket list moment — even if it didn’t start out that way. We talk about the queer liberation at the heart of Hedwig, working with co-star Adam Noviello, reclaiming identity onstage, and why this show belongs to the entire LGBTQIA+ community. Also: the power of community drag succession (paging Courtney Act and Ruben Kaye). Raw, uplifting, and very, very glam — this is Seann Miley Moore at their most powerful.

Aussie R&B-soul powerhouse Emeree joins JOY Breakfast to talk about her heart-on-sleeve new single Spring Cleaning, the song born out of a women’s writing camp and a moment of emotional clarity she never saw coming. In this raw and honest conversation, Emeree opens up about the trauma that inspired the track, how producing for others shaped her voice, and why she’s finally releasing a co-write under her own name. From crying in studio sessions to signing with a UK agency and prepping new projects, it’s a whirlwind moment of creativity, healing, and taking the narrative back. If you’ve ever needed to sweep out the past and sing your way through it—this one’s for you.

Financial advisor and JOY favourite Angelo Baronessa returns to unpack the current market rollercoaster—from Trump tariffs to luxury bag loopholes—and what it all means for your super, your shares, and your sanity. We talk US recession jitters, overvalued assets, Bitcoin volatility, and why sometimes the best advice is to just “sit there and look pretty.” Plus, discover how Chinese shopping visas and handbag markups are shaking up global trade—and why checking your super too often might be hurting more than helping. Light on jargon, big on laughs, and full of practical tips (including don’t retire this week), this one’s for anyone who’s looked at their super balance and panicked.
