Save The Date: Marriage Equality

We are happy. So very happy.

In what could be our season finale we discuss what it was like at the announcement, Golems dropped his bill and what happens now.

Well, I guess we should set a date then?

Kyran and Rhys chat on the eve of the announcement of the results from "The Official Australian Non-Binding Non-Complusory National Public Same Sex Marriage Survey."

Excellent breakdown of everything you need to know by Lane Sainty: https://www.buzzfeed.com/lanesainty/its-happening-guys?utm_term=.uvWZADNKA#.amPVkMprk

This episode is a little weird. Kyran interviews a "No" hoper.

Brendan Maclean joins Rhys and Kyran and they get quite deep on the side affects of a debate like this.

Lane will be back next time. And a big announcement in the works... news soon.

Canberra insider and Chief Minister of the ACT Andrew Barr has one or two opinions on the state of marriage equality, why it is important, and when it might happen.

But first, as we're in Canberra for the comedy festival, we workshop Canberra a little bit.

And also there's a great buggery joke.

Kyran Wheatley and Rhys Nicholson hosting as always.

Lane Sainty will be back in the coming weeks.

After Lane Sainty of Buzzfeed News walks us through the Coopers controversy and Immigration Minister Peter Dutton's outbursts against corporate support for marriage equality, listener Kate walks Kyran Wheatley and Rhys Nicholson through the reasons that she and her girlfriend/partner/fiance Phoebe have decided not to wait, and just get married without the law on their side.

!! STRONG LANGUAGE AND THEMES !!

From Disney's first gay character Le Fou to Lady GaGa on RuPaul's Drag Race to marriage equality itself (apparent topic of podcast) Demi, Rhys and Kyran manage to make everything (E V E R Y T H I N G) fucking filthy. Enjoy.

Next week we speak to Kate about her wedding. She is about to marry her fiance -  a woman. It's not going to be legal, so we'll ask her why they've decided to have a wedding anyway. And try to get this podcast back on track.

Lane Sainty of Buzzfeed tells Kyran about the MP who doesn't want rainbow flags in government buildings and whether the Prime Minister marched in Mardi Gras.

Then comedian Alex Ward joins us to talk about flags, mardi gras and advertising. Listen in!

Adam Richard drops by our loungeroom and talks about what's changed in the marriage debate over the last 30 years - and also a lot about sex. Obviously. And about his podcast Talking Poofy, and the feedback he used to get.

But first up Lane Sainty of Buzzfeed News gives Rhys and Kyran the lowdown on what's been happening in Canberra over the last few months and what we can expect in the next few. Rhys and Kyran listen dutifully and feel like they're bad gays for not knowing any of it.

Music is by the brilliant Brendan Maclean. You can watch his clip for House Of Air here http://www.brianandkarl.com/BRENDAN-MACLEAN-House-of-Air but be warned it is absolutely the least safe for work video I have seen that isn't just straight up porn.

Season 2!

We're back. After a long summer break Kyran Wheatley and Rhys Nicholson return to try and figure out what date they should save for their wedding - or at least for when they know they will be able to act on their engagement.

This particular episode is us sitting and drinking in our loungeroom.
