About this listen
Pop on your headphones, and hit 'play' - Australia, let's talk about love.
Marriage equality is a subject that's captured the hearts and minds of Australians for years, and the topic of love is one for the ages. What is it to love and be loved? What does it mean to have our relationships recognised by the communities we are a part of? These questions and more are explored in Listen to Love, a six-part original audio series from Audible.com.au in partnership with The Equality Campaign.
Listen to Love features some of Australia's favourite voices, including comedian Tom Ballard as host, comedian Joel Creasey with an original stand-up routine, writer and philosopher Damon Young with a thought-provoking discussion on the ethics of love and marriage, TV and radio personality Osher Günsberg reading classic love poetry, and Australian author Catherine Cole with a short story providing a timely reminder that how we experience love is how we experience the world. Bringing us up to speed on the issue of marriage equality in Australia is Dr Shirleene Robinson, a historian focusing on the evolving treatment of gay, lesbian and transgender Australians.
We also hear from everyday Australians whose lives are touched by the ongoing conversation about marriage equality. LGBTIQ couples sit down with broadcaster and performer Joel Carnegie to speak candidly about their relationships, and siblings Angie and Brent Greene explore the family dynamic of love as well as the issue of sexual discrimination in sport. These intimate real-life stories of love and commitment demonstrate the barriers faced by those Australians who are not presently able to marry the ones they love.
Listen to Love is free to download and listen to - don't miss your opportunity to hear these powerful Australian stories brought to you by Audible.com.au and The Equality Campaign.

By definition, psychology is the study of the mind and behavior in a scientific manner, and it has done so. But there is much more to the mind and behavior than that; just think of the many branches of psychology. There are sections dedicated to learning about typical human development and the growth and learning processes of youngsters. Other fields look into abnormal psychology to understand its causes and treatments.

From the birth of hip-hop in the 1970s to today, women have been just as integral to the growth and development of the rap game as their male counterparts. Nonetheless, they’re consistently shortchanged as artists, creators, renegades, and cultural visionaries in prevailing histories of the genre. The Motherlode changes that.

Austen wrote, 'I am going to take a heroine whom no-one but myself will much like' and thus introduces the handsome, clever, rich - and flawed, Emma Woodhouse. Emma is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage; nothing however delights her more than matchmaking her fellow residents of Highbury. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr. Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protegee Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected.

Tom Ballard is a popular comedian, great host and a very cluey individual. His dive into this subject is kept interesting and enjoyable, with each episode kept to about fifteen minutes. For those directly affected by the debate, this can be both affirming and frustrating to hear. For those outside of the debate who have an interest in actively interfering (for or against) in other people’s relationships, this series may make you aware of issues not previously thought of. Either way, it’s great to see this short-run series readily available and done so well. There needs to be more of it.

I don’t usually read the description of the books that I purchased and I will definitely tell you that I was not expecting to listen to that content when I purchased love is love. I was thinking that it was going to be about religious relationships and marriage. However, I did take the time to listen to it to hear what the content and agenda was for this book. Although I truly believe that social justice is dangerous because winning the battle is not enough. People make up other issues to fight about. People can never be happy and disrupts the balance and harmony of the world and life.
Perfect example is the couple in this book who have been together for more than half a century. They lived their lives as a couple for longer than the people who are fighting for this social justice have been alive.
They knew they were committed to each other and society would not hinder their relationship.
Love is love, Love is God
