John Frame was actively
involved with Brisbane community radio 4ZZZfm's
LGBT support program Queer Radio from December
1993 until his last show (as stand-in presenter) in February 2009. For
most of that time, certainly late 1994 to mid-2006, he had been both anchor presenter
and producer. Caring duties at home (caring for his aged and infirm mother)
necessitated a break from announcing. From April to June 2008 he returned,
temporarily, as anchor presenter, in order to allow Felix Kellett to engage
in regular employment. Mark Jeffery took over as anchor presenter in July
2008. In July 2002 Quest Newspapers "Northside Chronicle"
journalist Lyndal Cairns
wrote the fine feature “John Frames his
life” about myself as a local man active in presenting community radio
support for the "Brisbane gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender
community". The photo, taken by the Chronicle's staff
photographer, shows John at the helm of 4ZZZ's original 1975 mixing
desk.
He received only enthusiastic positive feedback - from family,
friends and local business-people (shops, Chemist, Newsagent, Post
Office etc). John
continues to enjoy a close working relationship with, and understanding of, a
broad range of Brisbane's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.
He has a strong commitment to social justice, to support of the lesbian and
gay community and to community radio. A particular
interest has been in lobbying (since early 2000) and organising community
support for reform of Queensland’s unequal age of consent. |

|
He
had been an active participant for several years with the Brisbane Lesbian
& Gay Pride Collective (’95 to “97) and has been invited to act as Master
of Ceremonies at community events such as World AIDS Day, HIV/AIDS
Candlelight Vigil and the Pride Rally. |
|||||||
|
John
has worked in private enterprise as well as various state and federal public
service clerical positions (including Social Security). He has studied in
horticultural science and worked very happily in retail hydroponics, first
for Soluble Solutions in Fortitude Valley and then for Hydroculture at
Chermside. |

|
Many of
the Queer Radio related interviews which he
has conducted over the years are archived on CD under John's personal
trademark "Rampant Corgi" and are
being gradually compiled as a free public resource via http://www.queerradio.org/downloads.htm
. John Frame welcomes you to visit his MySpace and YouTube pages to
view his video work of local bands and Queer Radio studio guests. Updated
