Returning in 2024 with an expanded format of her Australian Podcast Award and International Women’s Podcast Award-winning series Tough Love, proudly presented by Pandora, Linda Marigliano today debuts the first episode of Season 3 with an exhilarating reveal. LISTEN + SUBSCRIBE HERE.
Episode 1 finds Linda on the phone to her mum Janet, waiting for a window to share some life-changing news. That’s if Janet will pause to ask how Linda’s doing to find out herself. Catching up listeners where Season 2 left off, we’ll hear what’s been keeping her busy since officially moving to LA for good, putting a close to a years-long process to reunite with long-term partner Magnus.
Season 3 will continue to see Linda grapple with every essence of change and control with an extended season of weekly episodes of returning characters and a new cast of local and international guests: comedians Leslie Liao and DeAnne Smith, best-selling authors Gabrielle Stone and Jess Damuck, chef Charlotte Ree and some of the most integral personalities to Australia’s pop cultural fabric, Osher Günsburg, Aaron Chen and more to be revealed.
Lovingly embraced as a go-to voice for taste and advice, Linda Marigliano has vehemently affirmed her place as a revered agony aunt and one of the nation’s leading creatives across audio and literature. We’ve had a window to every triumph, painful moment and down-right hilarious page of her diary across Season’s 1 and 2 of Tough Love and her critically acclaimed memoir Love Language already.
Her ongoing musings on family, music, food and love sees Linda arm her legion of loyal fans with the tools she’s used to navigate life’s ubiquity. With her guidance you’ll reap her reward as she shares her lived experiences of responsibility and loyalty. No matter the medium, Linda’s sentiment remains ever-present: routine and fulfillment go hand in hand; tangibly felt connection is possible without physically shared space; and above all, the lessons we learn make (not break) us.
What initially began as an audio documentary about one of the sh*ttest times of her life, has been embraced as a universally lauded diary that empowers its listeners through similarly felt experiences: tackle heartache in the face of distance and loss, manage the physical manifestation of stress, navigate loyalty and duty from afar, to the very question of a relationship standing the test of time. As she arms listeners with the tools to navigate rewarding risks and negotiate their boundaries, Linda arrives at her biggest reckoning in realising she’s a people pleaser, setting the scene for her critically acclaimed memoir. While at times it feels like she’s never left, Season 2 saw Linda grapple with the very essence of change and control through a string of emotional lessons to arrive at a place of peace. Featuring Jessie Ware, Benny Blanco, Anna Lunoe, Kumi Taguchi, Becky Lucas, Steph Clare Smith, Benjamin Law and many more throughout the season, the final episode spotlights the relationships closest to Linda’s heart, her family, centred on her final goodbye. Proudly presented by Pandora, the world’s largest jewellery brand since starting as a small jewellery shop in Copenhagen, Denmark more than 40 years ago, now present in over 100 countries.
From a loyal two million listeners in her ten years at triple j, most recently as host of Mornings, Linda Marigliano is a permanent fixture in the Australian music scene as the warm commanding ear who makes you feel like you’ve joined a flowing conversation with a best friend. With 15 years of experience across gigs hosting Splendour in the Grass, Laneway Festival, New Year’s Eve LIVE from the Sydney Opera House, and The Set on ABC, Linda was also the creator and host of the Inspired series, her weekly music-chart-topping podcast exploring the making of Australia and the globe’s favourite songs. Linda’s other big project, her memoir Love Language via Allen & Unwin is a determined reclamation of her identity; a fiercely relatable and viscerally honest account of what it means to love and be loved. A memoir of family, music and pasta featured across Stellar Magazine, The Guardian, Vogue Magazine, Refinery29, Sydney Morning Herald, MamaMia, Radio National, RUSSH, Fashion Journal, InStyle, Good Reading Magazine, FBi Radio and more.
