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.

Sleep doesn't fix a specific sort of fatigue. It remains there, behind the success, beneath the bright displays, under the well-planned plans and routines. It's the fatigue of a mind that hasn't had a break in years. In a world that moves at a breakneck pace, where information comes in quicker than it can be digested and demands grow as rapidly as technology changes, many of us have learned how to be productive but forgotten how to be peaceful. We wake up to texts and alarms. Every day, we keep track of how many projects we complete and how many messages we react to.

Every day, there are more than a few billion questions asked on the internet. Some of them are just about business, while others are more personal. Some are simple, while others are tough. All of these queries go to the same place, which is a search engine. With only a few clicks of the mouse, you may get a lot of information. Everything looks great, and it appears to be set up to match your needs.

As it came to be known, the Moonlight Quest was more than a single expedition. It turned into a symbol, a live example of the concept that you shouldn't be scared of the unknown and that you can develop bravery and understanding by being patient, reflecting on yourself, and being ready to keep going even when things are unclear. Every wind whisper, moonlight peek on the river, and leaf rustle in the quiet forest all carried the story along.

Although they didn't get what they wanted right away, it seemed to strengthen the hearts of those who believed. Then Mira saw that the true light of the lighthouse was not only the great beam that whirled over the ocean, but also the serene courage that it reflected back to those who trusted it. However, one afternoon Mira received some unpleasant news. The town council considered installing a new, less maintenance-intensive electric tower in place of the current lighthouse. Others said the old building was no longer usable and was too expensive to maintain. Mira's chest constricted.

These contemporary versions demonstrate that, despite changes in literary, technological, and social concerns, mistrust may still be used as a narrative device. It still has the power to evoke suspense, interest, and surprise. The importance of distrust is shown by the evolution of the mystery genre throughout time. From Edgar Allan Poe's earliest works to the mysteries of Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers during the Golden Age, and up to contemporary psychological thrillers and crime novels, suspicion has always been an aspect of detective fiction.

As Earth's geopolitical powers fought to stabilize in the broken dawn of the twenty-second century, when climatic changes and resource depletion were making things worse, a parallel development was going on discreetly beyond the stratosphere. This new stage of human effort was not about conquering or escaping, but about coming together, a coming together that was not necessary but sprang from a vision. Project Aeon Halo was the most important of these initiatives.

You have a complete understanding of your most private self. You have come to the realization that you have the capacity to do great things in your life and to alter the course of events. The fact that you are unable to make the adjustments that would be beneficial to you, despite the fact that you are aware of and comprehend who you are, is detrimental to your sense of self-worth and causes you to experience less happiness. On account of this, the life of a procrastinator is characterized by feelings of disappointment, missed opportunities, and a sense of guilt.

This would have kept the lords interested because it had themes of justice and intelligence. These stories have been collected, improved, and written down over the years by people such as Charles Perrault, the Brothers Grimm, and Hans Christian Andersen. People told these stories for a long time before these great authors wrote them down. They changed every time someone told them something, like they were alive. Fairy tales have been around for a long time and are still important today, even though we live in a global society and use computer screens.
