About In Ya Face

In Ya Face explores LGBTIQA+ issues with interviews, music and commentary, Friday 4 to 5 pm.  On air since 1992.  Email presenter and producer James McKenzie at iyf3cr@gmail.com

 

In Ya Face is created and produced on the stolen lands of the Wurundjeri and Boonwurrung people of the Kulin Nation. We pay respect to Elders, past, present, and emerging, and acknowledge the continued resilience of First Nation peoples in the face of ongoing colonisation and settlement. We acknowledge sovereignty was never ceded, and a treaty was never signed.

Doug Lucas, Terri Tinsel, Jean Taylor interviews with James McKenzie.

Doug Lucas founded Melbourne's first gay disco and the legendary Pokeys in the 1970s and has been performing ever since. 

Terri Tinsel became a professional performer in Melbourne in the early 1970s and was one of the biggest stars on the local scene for decades.

Doug and Terri share memories about the late Jan Hillier, who was a titan of the local entertainment scene for many years. 

Terri also shares memories about the late Renee Scott, an acclaimed performer in Melbourne.

Jean Taylor is an author and lesbian activist in Melbourne since the 1970s. She reflects on the controversial and pioneering 1991 Melbourne lesbian film Dykes Of Our Restless Daze.

Our three interviews were first broadast live to air on 3CR in 2022 in separate episodes and have been repackaged into a history feature for today's show.
