Podcast Pick: The Love and Luck Podcast (Australia’s First LGBT Audio Drama Podcast)
Having recently started a new short-form podcast, I was curious to see what else was out there and I happened upon this gem. I don’t know why it was included in a list of short-form shows but it’s a winner, and just in time for Pride month! Very sweet, I think you’ll love it. – Mark/Editor
“Love and Luck is a fictional radio play podcast, told via voicemails and set in present day Melbourne, Australia. A slice of life queer romance story with a touch of magic, it follows the relationship between two men, Jason and Kane, as their love grows both for each other and their community.
You can listen to Love and Luck via your favourite podcast app, here on the website, or even over on youtube, where episodes are captioned!”
Among the Reviews
“In a world full of true crime podcasts and anti-heroes and dark storylines, Love and Luck is a breath of fresh air. After just a few episodes, I’ve found the acting superb, the characters endearing and relatable, and the script wonderfully observed.”
— Peter Wells, podcast critic for the Sydney Morning Herald
“There’s something to be said for an explicitly kind show that won’t end in trauma. There’s something therapeutic in being able to wait for a narrative to unfold without the constant worry that it’s going to turn tragic. There’s something healing in being faced with constant news of your community facing more and more peril, and having something like Love and Luck to remind you that sometimes, things do end well.”
— Wil Williams, reviewer at Podcast Problems
