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.

After a string of rejections from men who tell her they could never, ever, ever see her “that way,” awkward third-grade teacher Micaela Blei signs up for a mysterious course called “The Divine Feminine,” and feels like she might have found the key to the perfect life. Turns out if you’re an A student, you can get an A in anything–including men. Pretty soon she’s learning to "conjure" her desires with vision boards, flirtations, and even a daring jumbotron viewing party for her, ahem ... "divine center."

The MANipulator manual. Keep your man interested and begging for more without playing games. So many women get in trouble in their love lives, and 99.9 percent of that trouble could have been avoided if they'd said "Well, f**k him!" a bit more often. Too many women are way too nice and compliant to their men, especially when these men don't deserve that kind of treatment. I, as a dating coach and author of books for women who want to get men, cannot take it anymore.

It has inspired people from John F Kennedy to The Beatles and became the '60s Bible of counterculture – all because of the timeless truths it shared. Each poem takes a different theme – pleasure, beauty, freedom, joy and sorrow – as the fictional Al Mustapha shares his thoughts and experiences as he prepares to travel back to his island home.

An important conversation
An excellent production highlighting the many positive reasons the Australian government should embrace and legislate marriage equality. The conversation is balanced, entertaining at times, informative and engaging. Congratulations to all the contributors.

There needs to be more of it
This is a series of quick listens written at a time when Australia was debating marriage equality. Thankfully, those laws have passed, but the conservative right-wing and blindly religious still resist. That keeps this discussion timely and relevant, not just for Australia but for many other countries that are now debating the issue or have recently gone through it.
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.

Love is Love
I am not Australian and from a more conservative culture where LGBTQ discussions are taboo . Really enjoyed listening to this and I am happy that marriage equality is now a reality in Australia. I wish this change would happen in many other places too.

Not what I expected
The audible banner covered up the subtitle on “equality” so I thought it was about marriage, not about gay marriage (or marriage equality).

Love is love, Love is God
Be careful what you wish for. This world focuses on small, social injustices, and once they start winning those small battles, they cannot get enough and pursue other smaller social injustices that only pertain to less than one percent of the population enforces the rest of the world is society to comply. Otherwise they are bigots or trans phobic, etc.. please please be careful with that look at the United States. The people cannot be happy enough to win the battle of same-sex marriage years back. We are now seeing how they are groups that are pushing the agenda for more social justices that were not even an issue in the past such as using proper pronouns and transgender rights. Now we’re seeing how people are fighting for rise of pedophiles. Beware, beware whether you believe in the word of God, or not take heed because history can show that we are going towards the period of time that it was said that ride was going to be wrong and wrong was going to be right. The bad will be good and the good will be bad. We are going towards those times we need to focus on other issues keep the government out of our lives rather than trying to impose the government into the lives. You are doing just that by asking the government to step into our lives
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.
