Dykes on Mykes is BACK in 2025 with host Becca Love!!! Catch it on the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Mondays of every month from 7-8pm. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ The Montreal-based Dykes on Mykes (DoMs) radio show was established in 1987, and is the longest-running anglophone lesbian and queer women's radio show in the city. In 1987, Montreal's community radio station CKUT applied for its FM licence and put out a call for new programs. Local LGBT community activists including Robyn Badger, Minty Fownes and Voula K pitched the idea of having an alternating lesbian and gay radio show. Dykes on Mykes and Homoshow were created shortly after. Although Dykes on Mykes did not have an official mandate, it sought to work for the community and to reflect the distinct lesbian subculture. It's aim was to serve as a tool for mobilization, networking and community building.The radio show was entirely volunteer operated. It discussed politics, music, arts, culture with a lesbian spin, which was later broadened to include queer and trans perspectives. It also promoted and provided a platform to local artists and activists. The show's format included call-in and email segments, opinion pieces, interviews, debates and panel discussions. Every month, the show would produce 2 to 3 hours of content. Deborah VanSlet and Elana Wright served as the show hosts for the first 14 years. In 2004, they turned the mics over to a new team which included Dayna MacLeod, Mel Hogan and Marie Claire MacPhee. With this change, there was a shift away from focusing solely on lesbian identified content, to a broader conceptualization of the show's audience, one that that was more inclusive of queer and trans perspectives. In 2021, Dykes on Mykes was hosted by Shannon Herrick. The show's past hosts, co-hosts, technicians and producers include Dayna McLeod (2005-2015) M-C MacPhee (2005-2013), Charlie Scheme (2013), Mél Hogan (2005-2011), Erin McGregor (2010-2011), Jane Shulman (2006-2007), Deb VanSlet (1990 to 2006), Elana Wright (1996 to 2006), Colleen Ayoup (1999-2000), Reya 'SunshIne' Freeman (2000-2005), Nikki Forrest (1999-2000), Petra Kolajova (1998), Elizabeth Littlejohn (1994-1995), Carellin Brooks (1992-1993), and Jo-Anne Pickel (1988-1992), Robyn Badger (1987-1989), Minty Fownes (1987-1989), Voula K (1987-1990) and Shannon Herrick (2021) *~*~*~* L'émission de radio Dykes on Mykes (DoMs), basée à Montréal, a été créée en 1987. Il s'agit de la plus ancienne émission de radio anglophone pour les femmes lesbiennes et gays de la ville. En 1987, la station de radio communautaire montréalaise CKUT a demandé sa licence FM et lancé un appel pour de nouvelles émissions. Des activistes de la communauté LGBT locale, dont Robyn Badger, Minty Fownes et Voula K, ont lancé l'idée d'une émission de radio lesbienne et gay en alternance. Dykes on Mykes et Homoshow ont été créés peu après. Bien que Dykes on Mykes n'ait pas eu de mandat officiel, elle a cherché à travailler pour la communauté et à refléter la sous-culture lesbienne distincte. L'émission de radio était entièrement gérée par des bénévoles et visait à servir d'outil de mobilisation, de réseautage et de construction de la communauté. Elle abordait la politique, la musique, les arts et la culture sous un angle lesbien, qui a ensuite été élargi pour inclure les perspectives queer et trans. Elle a également promu et fourni une plateforme aux artistes et aux activistes locaux. Le format de l'émission comprenait des segments par téléphone et par courriel, des articles d'opinion, des interviews, des débats et des discussions de groupe. Chaque mois, l'émission produisait 2 à 3 heures de contenu. Deborah VanSlet et Elana Wright ont été les animatrices de l'émission pendant les 14 premières années. En 2004, elles ont cédé les micros à une nouvelle équipe composée de Dayna MacLeod, Mel Hogan et Marie Claire MacPhee. Ce changement a permis de passer d'un contenu exclusivement lesbien à une conceptualisation plus large de l'audience de l'émission, qui inclut davantage les perspectives queer et trans. En 2021, Dykes on Mykes continue d'être diffusée sur CKUT avec l'animatrice Shannon Herrick. Parmi les anciens animateurs, co-animateurs, techniciens et producteurs de l'émission, citons Dayna McLeod (2005-2015), M-C MacPhee (2005-2013), Charlie Scheme (2013), Mél Hogan (2005-2011), Erin McGregor (2010-2011), Jane Shulman (2006-2007), Deb VanSlet (1990 à 2006), Elana Wright (1996 à 2006), Colleen Ayoup (1999-2000), Reya 'SunshIne' Freeman (2000-2005), Nikki Forrest (1999-2000), Petra Kolajova (1998), Elizabeth Littlejohn (1994-1995), Carellin Brooks (1992-1993), et Jo-Anne Pickel (1988-1992), Robyn Badger (1987-1989), Minty Fownes (1987-1989), Voula K (1987-1990) et Shannon Herrick (2021) Learn More

From its humble origins, beginning in the very early 80's with NYC Garage (a term to denote the music programmed at NY's fabled Paradise Garage, the per-cursor to the modern mega dance club), this music would eventually dominate the global dance market. However, this style of music or more specifically, the music being played during that time was actually not genre specific. The term House and Garage were not yet synonymous with electronic music being produced in the mid to late 80's. House music as it were, was the music played at the Warehouse, a black gay underground club, in Chicago in the mid to late70's. The word House was taken from the Warehouse and used as a colloquialism to describe the music being selected and played by the resident DJ the legendary Frankie Knuckles during that time period, who 's nightly play-lists would include everything from rock to punk to jazz and gospel, old soul and funk, african and brazilian flavors. There was no House Music yet, There were no 808 or 909 drum machines. In NYC, Underground dance music or club music as it was referenced there, has a similar story, where legendary DJ's like Larry Levan at the Paradise Garage and Tee Scott at Zanzibar and Better Days, would play a variety of music styles with a common thread, they were danceable and funky. Mesopotamia by the B52's, The Magnificent Dance by The Clash, Moody by ESG, Love is A Battlefield by Pat Benatar, Fela Kuti, Manuel Gottsching and John Coltrane are just some examples of the eclectic play-lists. Utopia's Paradise is currently entering its third decade year of programming. Its origins however, are much deeper and possess a long and storied history going back to 1979 to the era where the foundation was officially laid, as Tony Desypris started a 25 year sojourn that would take him to NYC on a bi-weekly basis and to the Paradise Garage where he would witness the quiet revolution bubbling underneath, the incubator, where years later Garage and House music would eventually dominate the world. Deep house, garage classics and underground disco. Up until dawn - keepin it thumping since 1992. The legend Tony D and his crew bringin it to you for four str8 hours of classic and remodeled vibes.
