BEST ONLINE:

Jade and Dave will round up their top five websites of 2010 - think: defining blogs, social media sites and because we're a victim of the times, we'll also announce our top five apps of the year too.

Diff'rent Strokes Moments of 2010

This week on Diff'rent Strokes... we're inviting you to our little end of year party!

Nothing big. Just a little something we've thrown together to thank you - our friends, listeners and podcast subscribers - for sharing the LOLZ with us this year.

Tonight Jade and Dave will reminisce on their favourite interview moments of 2010.

For those playing catch-up, this year Diff'rent Strokes has had the pleasure of chatting with Dannii Minogue, Heather Hogan (AfterEllen blogger), Rin and Sophy (RophyDoes), Wynter Gordon, Erika Heynatz, Florrie, The Potbelleez, Grant Smillie, Kimbra and Scott Spark.

Here we playback the highlights, including: Jade's Where Are The Lesbians? quest and the time she was cruising for gay men, Dave's "gurl, please" moments, and that epic duet with Heather Hogan!

It's been a huge year for both Jade and Dave, and the show. We'd like to formally thank everyone at JOY 94.9 and beyond for the support, love and we hope you've enjoyed our company along the way.
