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 28th August 2010
