Linda Marigliano

Profile

From a loyal two million listeners as a national broadcaster on triple j, to a permanent fixture in the Australian music scene for over 15 years, Linda Marigliano is the warm commanding host who makes you feel like you’ve joined a flowing conversation with a best friend.

In 2021, Linda released Tough Love, a podcast about one of the most difficult times of her life. Cheeky but contemplative, the award-winning documentary series audio-journaled Linda’s toughest love lessons in real-time and invited people to reflect on their own lived experiences. In 2023, Linda releases Season 2 - continuing her chronicle of the exhilarating highs, lows and big ideas many people face, guided by her careful ear for innovative documentary, storytelling and music. Linda consults famous friends and world-renowned experts to navigate topics such as fertility, grief, resilience, work-life balance, aging parents, career boundaries and long distance relationships.

Linda has regularly hosted the likes of the national New Year’s Eve LIVE broadcast from the Sydney Opera House, the ARIA Awards, Splendour in the Grass Festival, Laneway Festival, and The Set TV series on ABC alongside close friend and former Australian Of The Year, Dylan Alcott.

In 2023, Linda released her moving and critically acclaimed memoir, Love Language. It is a determined reclamation of Linda Marigliano’s identity; a fiercely relatable and viscerally honest account of what it means to love and be loved. Love Language sees Linda exploring the value systems of her vibrant Italian-Chinese-Malaysian family, and the complexities of loyalty, perfectionism and people-pleasing in her career and romantic relationships. It is out now through Allen & Unwin.
