This website relates to the Queer Radio program on community radio 4ZZZ fm102.1 in Brisbane, Australia

– and only to the period late 1993 to early 2009, when John Frame was actively involved. For 13 of those years John was the coordinator and anchor announcer/producer.

The current presenter of the Queer Radio program is Blair Martin. Their Facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/QRbrisbane with the show airing on fm102.1 and streaming live 8-10pm Wednesdays – go to www.4zzz.org.au

The main purpose of this site is to provide an expanding audio archive of my interviews for Queer Radio (Brisbane) and This Way Out (Los Angeles), as an entertaining and supportive resource for any listener. The interviews represent a very wide range of honest opinions of LGBTIQ experience.

Up until 15^th September 2016 the other main value of this site was as an accurate and comprehensive public resource to form a conclusive argument for urgent action on equal age of consent reform in the state of Queensland, Australia.

That reform was realised on 15^th September 2016 with the enactment by Palaszczuk Labor of a truly equal age of consent at 16– for details go to www.queerradio.org/AgeOfConsent.htm

(To view the now historic archive of all the files related to the 2000 to 2016 successful campaign for equal age of consent reform in Queensland go to: http://queerradio.org/AgeOfConsent_as_at_14thSept2016.htm)

HEAR John Frame’s “oral history” as a 64 minute mp3 file – recorded by Dr Shirleene Robinson at his home on Wavell Hts on 3^rd July 2010 for a State Library of Queensland LGBT Oral History Project (John was one of about 20 persons interviewed for the publicly accessible permanent project: “LGBT Lives: Oral Histories 2011”)
