Outlouders, enjoy this free taster of Mia Freedman, Holly Wainwright & Emily Vernem on our subscriber-only episode. You can listen to the full conversation here: "Emma Grede Disease" & The Trap For Female Founders

There's finally a name for the "Emma Grede-ification" of female founders, and it's "Emma Grede Disease" — the expectation that women don't just run a business, they have to perform running one. Private jets. Book deals. A personal brand polished to a mirror shine.

Holly has a theory on who's actually earned that aesthetic — and who's skipping straight to the penthouse without building the fifteen years underneath it.

Plus, why this persona has never quite worked in Australia.

Usher's onstage stunt just backfired and the internet definitely noticed.

Plus, two Manhattan lawyers were caught mid-pash by a TikToker who wouldn't stop filming: is it the new Coldplay kiss cam, or proof we've lost the right to be private in public?

And, Rachel Cusk's new novel reads suspiciously like the life of her friend Natalie Portman — and neither of them is commenting.

The theme remained the same: nobody asked for any of this.

Outlouders, enjoy this free taster of Mia Freedman, Holly Wainwright & Emily Vernem on our subscriber-only episode. You can listen to the full conversation here: Goodbye Sam, WTF Charlize & One Very Messy Celebrity Split

Like many Outlouders, we were shocked and saddened by the sudden passing of beloved Kiwi-Aussie movie star Sam Neill. We reflect on the loss, his career, and how he effortlessly won over a whole new generation.

Plus, images of Charlize Theron on the red carpet of a premiere in Paris prompted an immediate, collective response. It has sparked a necessary conversation about body dysmorphia in midlife, shifting beauty standards, and why remaining youthfully thin into your 50s has become the ultimate high-status trap.

And, the celebrity breakup that has us absolutely reeling: Jack Antonoff and Margaret Qualley are officially over. How does a relationship fall apart just six weeks after a highly publicised podcast tour declaring your marriage your absolute safe space? We unpack the rumours of a messy co-star affair, the volatile reality behind the scenes, and why it is so much harder to delete a love song than an Instagram post.

So Out Loud host Clare Stephens has had her baby boy, and no, she didn’t take up any of Em’s name suggestions but yes, she has called into the show from the hospital with a birth update.

Also, for a while there they were Australia’s Beckhams. Now the next generation of Hewitts - Lleyton and Bec’s kids - are… playing at Wimbledon?

Lena Dunham has shaken off Famesickess to master the comeback. But what does that have to do with Jack Antonoff’s recent split?

Where is Taylor’s wedding dress? There’s a theory, and it’s around the number 13. Also, the silliest husband in the world did not RSVP to his family invite.

People are paying to get together and… do absolutely nothing.

And, yes, Prince Harry went over to his Dad’s for a historic cup of tea..

Outlouders, enjoy this free taster of Mia Freedman, Holly Wainwright & Emily Vernem on our subscriber-only episode. You can listen to the full conversation here: Harry’s Trauma Response & Breastfeeding At 49

It is a big day of scurrilous gossip on today's subscriber episode as Mia, Holly, and Em try to understand why our favourite celebrities simply refuse to stop doing things.

First up, as Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wrap up their honeymoon, the media has pivot-scrolled to their massive, allegedly 40-page prenup. We unpack the rumoured 40-page blueprint designed to bulletproof Taylor's multi-billion dollar empire, and why young couples are suddenly completely obsessed with the "postnup."

Plus, the absolute storm of chaos surrounding Prince Harry's trip to London has just taken its messiest turn yet with a brutal, peak-petty Buckingham Palace RSVP rejection that has us questioning what is really going on behind the scenes.

And, Australian actress Melissa George just dropped a surprise photo casually breastfeeding her newborn child at a Paris cafe at 49 years old. We discuss.

Also - is 18 too young to carry a nation’s football hopes? Protective mums and former footballers say yes. Lucas Herrington says no.

And, Albo made a mess of a classic gotcha game while trying to stay relevant on a podcast. Kylie Minogue isn’t always the answer.

The wedding has happened!! ...Or did it happen weeks ago?

Holly and Mia sit down for an emergency meeting to unpack the biggest celebrity wedding in years: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.

From the guest list of 1,000 to the very short list of people who weren't invited (and why) The Madison Square Garden of it all, the NDAs and wedding favours. And when are we finally going to see the dress? Mia has a theory - and it's a good one.

They also discuss the couple's huge charitable donations, the carefully controlled rollout, and why Taylor remains the undisputed master of giving us just enough.

Because beneath all the celebrity spectacle, the secrecy and the hype, this really is a love story.
All that and more in this emergency episode.

Em grew up watching this woman live her life online - and now she’s gone. Why and how and what does it mean?

Is it okay for older women to “perve” at younger men? One writer says yes, and also that there needs to be a new name for it.

Also, what people in the front row and concerts are really doing in their pants and why pop stars have had enough of it.

Clare has a message for Outlouders on her last show before her baby boy arrives. And it made her cry a little bit. Holly has a very, very weird little show for you, and Em wants you to get behind the return of the dragons.

Outlouders, enjoy this free taster of Mia Freedman, Holly Wainwright & Emily Vernem on our subscriber-only episode. You can listen to the full conversation: “Emotional Blackmail” An Update On Harry’s Visit Home

The royal reunion we've all been following might not happen after all.

Prince Harry and Meghan were reportedly planning to bring the kids to the UK for the first time in four years, but now the trip is in doubt after Harry's request for police protection was denied. Is this the latest chapter in the royal rift, or a completely reasonable decision from parents trying to protect their children?

Plus, Alex Cooper has finally responded to the allegations surrounding her media company, Unwell. It raises a familiar question: when the controversy centres on a man, why does the woman so often end up carrying the public fallout?

And Mia Freedman has some hard-earned advice for Alex about surviving life as a woman running a media company.

Friends, did you wake up to the news that Today host Karl Stefanovic had been sacked from Nine?SAME.
And was our group chat pinging? OF COURSE.

Which can only mean one thing, Outlouders. An emergency meeting just had to happen.

In today's extra episode, Mia Freedman and Holly Wainwright unpack the absolute chaos of Karl’s contract ending, the playbook of the 'canceled' media mogul, and whether there's room for this many loud, middle-aged men in podcasting.

On the agenda, we:

  • Look at why that interview on Karl's podcast with Far Right UK activist Tommy Robinson was the final straw for Nine.
  • Ask if a 'canceled' host can still win a Logie?
  • Examine the rise of the Independent Bro-Empire.

What do you think, Outlouders? Has Karl played this perfectly? Or is this a spectacular own goal? Let us know your thoughts in the Outlouders Facebook Group.

Sometimes you just need an impromptu therapy session with absolutely no professionals present. From the adult who calls their parents by their first names to the person who orders a salad at a pub, Clare, Amelia and Em are unpacking the exact types of people we just don’t trust.

Australia’s fertility rate has sunk to a record low, but researchers swear they’ve found the one simple trick to get women to have more babies. It does involve your home office’s proximity to the bedroom, but not quite in the way you might think.

Plus, how are powerful women like Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan still being target with 300 year old Salem tropes like ‘Ditch The Witch’? Julia Gillard, like us, has thoughts.

Also, Madonna just dropped a star-studded 10-minute musical short film called Confessions II. We’re breaking down every single celebrity cameo you might have missed.

And, we explain the reason why Taylor Swift, Timothée Chalamet and Ben Stiller are in orange and blue all over your social media feed.

Two big weddings happened over the weekend. One celebrity, one Royal. Plus there’s speculation about a third involving pop royalty, and Mia, Amelia and Em need to unpack all of them.

First up, Dua Lipa married Callum Turner in a glorious three-day extravaganza in Palermo, Sicily. So why – like Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez before them – were the locals not altogether happy

While, deep in the Cotswolds, King Charles’ nephew Peter Phillips got married to Harriet Sperling in a tiny church, and some very notable family members didn't make the cut.

And then there’s Taylor Swift. There are reports she’s about to marry Travis Kelce at Madison Square Garden on the 4th of July weekend and the guest list is stressing us out. From Blake Lively, to avoiding an awkward Harry Styles run-in, how exactly do you choose who's on the list? And, what about the ‘no ring, no bring’ theory?

Oh, and Mia is back from Tokyo and we need to debrief.

Outlouders, we’ve unlocked an exclusive subscriber episode for your long weekend listening pleasure. You're welcome.

Remember when oversharing on the internet was a thing?

The era of the ‘personal essay’ was a time when people poured their messy insides out for the world to read. Except now those stories are frozen in time. Forever. And the oversharing hangover is real.

SUBSCRIBE to Mamamia and never miss a word of Out Loud. Plus get access to every story and our exercise app, MOVE.

Mia, Holly and Em are unpacking the sometimes brutal backlash of ‘going viral’ over a deeply personal moment and the slightly awkward nightmare of your family and friends reading about your business online.

So, is the personal essay dead – or have we all just moved to Substack? And, should some of those literal journal entries actually just stay in the drafts? Mia has thoughts.

Outlouders, enjoy this free taster of Holly Wainwright, Clare Stephens and special guest host Laura Brodnik from The Spill on our subscribers-only episode. You can listen to the full conversation: The One Big Lie Blown Up By The Kylie Doco
The Netflix doco Kylie has officially dropped, and the nostalgia we are feeling is quite real. Today, Holly, Clare and Laura are unpacking the three-part series.

From the ‘singing budgie’ era to two-time Grammy Award winner, it's the ultimate masterclass in career longevity. So why does our collective obsession with the ‘Princess of Pop’ run so deep, and what does Kylie’s story tell us about the grit and resilience behind the fame?

What do you mean, you're not a subscriber yet? Solve that problem HERE.

We discuss her first cancer diagnosis at age 36, her decision to postpone chemotherapy to try IVF and the revelation of her second, very private battle with breast cancer.

Also, the slightly awkward raw honesty of Jason Donovan, her relationship with INXS frontman Michael Hutchence and the lure of your first true love. Plus, the touching way her friend Nick Cave articulates her magic might just be our absolute favourite part of the entire thing.

Outlouders, today for a Sunday Special we're dropping an episode of our sister podcast Unleashed into your feed... It's a little bit rogue, just like us and we think you're going to love it. You're welcome.

Grace heard someone breaking into her apartment, grabbed a tennis racket, lowered her voice and screamed through the door in her mouth guard. It was not, in fact, a burglar. Mary has had it with people saying 'I Love You'. We disagree (and we love Mary, very much). Cath confesses that she dreads holidays since her divorce. Bruna lives with lupus and wakes up in pain every single day, and almost no one knows. And Grace had nits for four days and genuinely thought it was perimenopause. And the songs that changed us. Whether sitting on a school bus, lying in a delivery room, or chasing David Bowie down a street in New York, it's a lot. It's everything. It's Unleashed.

In your ears today: Grace Lam, Mary Coustas, Bruna Papandrea and Cath Mahoney.

The End Bits:
Follow us on Instagram, DM us thoughts, feelings and questions @unleashed.show

The world has just discovered Delta Goodrem, and the world has questions.

The world also has some queries about what a 'two-bob watch' is, and why that term might be used about a disruptive passenger on an Aussie flight.

Also, suddenly everything that is bad for us is good again. The culture would have us believe that smoking is back, red meat is a health food, partying til dawn is aspirational and tanning beds are a nice lie-down. So what’s all this nonsense about, and why the great wellness vibe shift?

And, Kylie Minogue got asked who the love of her life was. And her answer has given rise to a new dating theory - the 'Dog Years' relationship.

Oh, and… should you chuck out your toothbrush when you get sick? Amelia’s husband has thoughts.

If you, like us, are obsessed with Lena Dunham's latest book Famesick, we're here for you with this special episode. You're welcome.

The Girls creator who became the ‘voice of a generation’ is back with a second memoir and Mia, Holly, Amelia and Em are discussing why the world is finally ready to hear her side of the story. From the heights of toxic fame to the depths of chronic illness, her relationship with Jack Antonoff and highly publicised falling-out with showrunner Jenni Konner - we're unpacking it all.

Plus, did her parents save her from the darker side of fame or did they actually stop her from ever growing up? We have thoughts.

Whether you’re rewatching Girls for the tenth time or you’re reading her memoir like a novel, this is the conversation you’ve been waiting for.

Popular culture has decided that men wearing ‘slutty little shorts’ might be the only way to combat global anxiety. From Harry Styles’ new video to Taron Egerton’s psycho dance to the $120 million ad starring Chalamet & Bunny, we’re not mad, just curious.

Some people think a 30-minute journey only takes 15, and it turns out there is a very specific name for people who live with this brand of chaos: ‘time optimists’.

Speaker 1: Hello and welcome to Mamma Mia out Loud. It's what women are actually talking about on Wednesday, sixth of May. I'm Holly Wainwright and the first thing I'm going to do, the first order of business, very simple out louder is if you love your show, please vote for us in the upcoming Australian Audio Awards as a People's Choice category. It's really straightforward. We're going to put a link in the show notes, We're probably going to put it on social We're going to put it everywhere. We would love your support to help us get there. That is the end of my manifesto for the day.

Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I just would like to say as a lazy girl that there are all these things to fill out.

Speaker 3: You only have to fill us out.

Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't have to do everything is just tick Mama Mia out Loud.

Speaker 3: So important for the lazy girls out there, and as as a bossy girl, I just concur with Holly. I know you can make that ask of people, and I think that's a great step towards greet our self assertive.

Speaker 1: I'm growing, I'm growing, Amelia Growing. I'm Amelia Lester and I'm Claire Stephen and here's what's made our agenda for today. So now that it's all over and many damning text messages scatter the ruins of what was the biggest celebrity story for a couple of years, Just who did win in the whole? Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni court case drama.

Speaker 3: Plus Cameron Diaz is a mother again at fifty three, and Holly has some thoughts.

Speaker 2: And veteran broadcaster James Valentine filmed the last year of his life for the ABC, and between a living wake and his openness around voluntary assisted dying, he's opened a conversation around what it means to die a good death.

Speaker 1: But first, Amelia Lester, the Mecgala.

Speaker 3: Did it feel different this year? A lot of people said that it did. Amy Odell, a fashion writer, wrote in her background newsletter that the Metgala was all money, no soul, and she wasn't alone in this criticism. Basically, people are saying that because Jeff Bezos and his wife Lauren Sanchez Bezos sponsored the event, it just started to feel a little craven, a little gross, and less fun than it used to be. So there were a lot of protests in New York. In the lead up to the event, they were all centered around Amazon's labor practices, its environmental damage. And then there are those who say, no, that's not true. The mech color's always been about rich people giving their money towards a good cause, which is the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute. And look, they did raise a lot of money on Monday night. The Bezos has bought the event for about ten million dollars, but then the event itself raised about forty one million. This is US dollars, which is a lot for this event. It's apparently kind of record breaking. So are we just complaining about nothing, Holly? Do you feel like celebrities stayed away? Did they agree that this was a sort of off event this year?

Speaker 1: So I'm going to give you a list of the celebrities who people say boycotted, because none of the people so far who everyone is saying has boycott had actually verbalized that they were boycott.

Speaker 3: Well, we are boycotted, which we just had to take a stand because.

Speaker 1: I do feel a little bit like what soul when you said it's all money those salt like, I do feel a bit that I don't think this is the first year. It has been pointed out in the culture, particularly since trump Ism and all those things, that this feels very hunger games. Yes, yes, and I know although there's a more direct link here, you know, with the Bezos is buying it. I do feel like Jeff sort of bought it for Lauren as a gift, which is a nice gift. Nice, but it feels more avert. So anyway, let's look at this because when I was watching it on Tuesday and then I did a subscriber episode with me as straight afterwards, I was like, well, all the celebrities are there, like Beyonce's there. All the famous people I was expecting to be there were there.

Speaker 2: Well, actually a lot of famous feom we didn't expect to be there were there.

Speaker 1: Yeah. And then it was pointed out to me who was not Billie Eilish. Now that tracks because she doesn't like billionaires, and she remembers she gave a speech a while ago where she said, you lot give more of your money away. So I don't think she would have been either welcome or willing to go, because Jeff might have worried that she was going to shake him down in the bathroom to share more of his money. Zoe Saldana, she is somebody who is usually there. She was not there. She is almost as rich as the billionaires. She is an unbelievably well paid actress because of her Marvel and Avatar connections. So Zoe's at home count of dollars. Olivia Rodrigo that tracks too. She is political, That would not be surprising. She's in the middle of an album promo, so you might have usually expected her to be there. Lady Gaga an interesting one because she could have been expected to be there because she's in The Devil Wears prior of Too and the rest of the Well. Meryl wasn't there, but Meryl never goes, so that's not surprising. But Anne Hath the way Emily Blunt Stanley Tucci were all there.

Speaker 2: Stanley Tucci with Emily blount sister, it's always fun.

Speaker 1: So maybe Gaga, but also she's kind of said lately that she's going to focus on promoting things she wants to promote rather than just being around. Lewis Hamilton come on, like he's literally dating Kim Kardashian, who's extremely bezos adjacent. I don't think that was a political.

Speaker 3: Let's get to the big guns. Some were missing, right, some who we might have realized. Sarah Jessica Parker.

Speaker 1: Yeah, so, Sarah Jessica I reckon. That is probably I would say that's almost definitely a boycott. But she went to support Anna at a dinner, but she didn't.

Speaker 3: Go to the There was a dinner on the weekend before the gala. It probably would have been more fun.

Speaker 1: Anyways, she said anything, No, she hasn't, but she I think she was in support of the New New York mayor. Right, And obviously he didn't go, but then I wouldn't have expected him to go, and he did post about it. They posted a series of let's sell a the real heroes of fashion and you know, celebrated workers behind the scenes and particular designers and things. So yes, so Sarah Jessica Parker I reckon could be a boycott. But then they're saying, you know, j Lo, I don't think Jalo was boycotting. I just think she's tired.

Speaker 3: Harry Styles.

Speaker 1: Harry Styles is in the middle of record of rehearsing for his tour. He's in a studio in bethnal Green running through it. Not that I've been stalking him. Justin Bieber, he's just done Coachella. Boy needs to lie down. Miley Taylor Swift, she never goes, and I don't think she's so. I think that some of the boycott cots are not boy I.

Speaker 3: Think that's right. But it's interesting that some of the tech billionaires it clearly got to them a little bit. So it's interesting that Jeff did not walk the red carpet with Lauren. That's very unusual. They do everything together. We've learned this from various pieces about them and Lauren's dress being very boring. Do we think that was intentional.

Speaker 1: A little bit understated for Lauren, Yeah, but I think it was had a very specific art reference. It was the same dress as someone called Madame X and it's like scandalous women.

Speaker 3: Yep. It's interesting though, because Jeff did walk the carpet in twenty thirteen when Amazon sponsored the event. There was no outrage back then when Amazon sponsored the event and he walked with Mackenzie then Mackenzie Bezos his wife at the time. Mark Zuckerberg also made his Met Gala debut with his wife, Priscilla Chan, and they also didn't walk the red carpet, which I thought was interesting because it's kind of like, well, you want to be at the glamorous event, but you don't want the attention of being there.

Speaker 1: Do you think they might have been encouraged not to.

Speaker 3: I don't think anyone encourages Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos to do anything would have worked exactly. But there were some tech willionaires who did walk the carpet. Google founder Sergei Brinn. He showed up on the red carpet with his girlfriend. Her name is Gaylyn Gilbert Soto. The New York Times describes her as a con conservative gut health influencer.

Speaker 1: That is one of the six job title Claire.

Speaker 3: Do you think that there's something inherently conservative about gut health?

Speaker 2: Yeah, because gut health is very don't take antibiotics and don't take antibiotics is very That's what it's.

Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, which used to be a sort of crunchy hippie vibe, but these days has come back around it.

Speaker 3: I thought it was just you know, drink your com your chart, but no, it means it can.

Speaker 2: Be very I feel like there's it's a short road from like gut health gut health to to anti vacs. Don't ever give your children antibiotics with my sour crow.

Speaker 3: And of course I'm AROUNDA was there. I just have to add she was there with Snapchat founder Evanstein on the carpet, of course.

Speaker 1: Possibly the biggest gun that I haven't mentioned though, is Zendaya. She does always go. Usually she didn't go, and that read like a boycott. And some people are saying, if your boycotting, say you're boycotting. I don't think so necessarily. You don't want to necessarily make everything about your politics. But I just have one question. I think that big charity galas of all types have always been, have always reflected the moment therein and they've always been a path to accessing status in a particular society. Watch the Gilded Age, It's all about that.

Speaker 3: And Nixon notably said that she thought it was great that the mayor didn't go.

Speaker 1: Yes, but like you know, you're reflecting the time. So you're going a big gala ball is the way you get all the fancy people together. This being a tech bro billionaire ball is very reflective of the moment we're living in, right, So is it surprising in any way in the nineteen eighties New York society. It was all about glitz and flash and Donald Trump, and now we're like again, I don't know. I kind of feel like, what did we expect to happen?

Speaker 3: No, that's right, But I think that the group that people are most angry at it's not the people who went in their pretty dresses. It's not the people who didn't go and stay quiet about it. It's the people who went but then tried to have their cake and eat it too. See.

Speaker 2: I'm not as frustrated about this because Sarah Paulson is getting a hole at a crap because she wore a dress that then and then had a blindfold that was a dollar bill, and it was people like it's making a statement about about like eating the rich.

Speaker 3: Well, she herself said that it was a statement about the one.

Speaker 2: Besides yes, and and I thought that was like a far swing. But the dress is actually called like the one percent by the artist, the designer who designed it, and the mask was called blinded by Money, and it was a statement on greed and corruption that comes with extreme power. I think it's a little bit unfair to look at her and say, well, you've got a net worth of twelve million dollars at which how does anyone calculate anyone's net worth on the internet? But you have a net worth of that you're at this event, how dare you then make a protest when it's like, well, isn't that exactly how how you do it?

Speaker 3: Don't you go in? And well, people do have a history of using that platform. So Alexandra Ocazio Cortez, who is a Democratic congresswoman from New York, famously wore a dress on the Megala red carpet a couple of years ago which said tax the rich. But people actually have the same criticism for her. To your point, Holly, the met Gala in some corners has always been seen as a kind of repulsive show of excess and decadence, and she got a lot of aoc got a lot of flak for even attending the event back then, reading the canapasey while saying.

Speaker 1: You guys are discussing while Charlie free directions.

Speaker 2: But if you're not there, you don't have a microphone to say anything about the event, do you know? Well, I guess you do. I guess like Vende could opposed to something on Instagram.

Speaker 3: If you want Zendaya not going definitely took the air out of the room when that announcement came out, And I guess it wasn't an announcement so much as a news update. Everyone kind of went, that's big. When Zendeia's not there, it's big.

Speaker 2: Because she's always one of the coolest on the carpet. Does something really original, remember that, like bloody light up dress and she.

Speaker 3: Oh, but there was a bathroom selfie. Some things always stay the same, right, and you saw this by Yes, it's always an iconic bathroom selfie. It's always the thing you want to look for. And there was an amazing one that had you know, the Margo Robbie all the people in it. But one of the things that was most striking about that And so I saw that in the wild last night and I was like, why is there an exceptionally beautiful woman in the middle of that who is wearing a quarter zip sweatshirt? I was like, was she at that party?

Speaker 1: And then it's having a lot of headlines today because she is actually a very famous model.

Speaker 3: Yeah, I actually love the story behind this. Her name is Bavitha Mandava and she that what she wore was a quarterzip jumper essentially and what looked like jeans. It turns out they weren't just any jeans. The jeans were made with silk muslin and had a blue denim effect. My jeans today have a blue denim effect. And it's a very important iconic look because she opened Chanell's show in December, which was on the New York City Subway, wearing essentially that outfit, and the fashion world lost their mind. That show was like considered extremely groundbreaking, and she was the first Indian model to open a Chanel show and she is now the first South Asian ambassador for Chanel. And incidentally, did you notice that Margot Robbie, who was also Chanel ambassador, It was right next to her in that photo. So Chanell must have been just so happy about the whole thing.

Speaker 1: I know, but it just she just looked so out of place.

Speaker 3: But that's what made it so good.

Speaker 1: Yeah, but I was like wandered into the shop. But she also read all about it and I was amazing. Yet she didn't have to have a bubble machine boobs.

Speaker 3: And then that look that she wore on the Chanel catwalk was actually a nod in turn to how she was discovered. I love this so much. She was a grad student m YU and she was discovered on the New York City subway waiting for a train. One would imagine probably wearing a similar outfit to the one she is now wearing in a much more fabulous incarnation at the metgala.

Speaker 1: But you were obsessed with another red carpet walk.

Speaker 2: Yes, because I am a basic bitch. If, like I swear, if there was like a thermometer for like, what's what does the basic bitch think about anything that's happening in the world right now? It comes over me and it's like bing bing bing bing bing because I saw the red carpet photos of Hugh Jackman in Suton Foster and I think I was sitting opposite you and Holly and I.

Speaker 3: Said, oh oh, was like I don't and I'm like, howm my.

Speaker 1: Here has it been?

Speaker 3: Now? Not that many at least well he was.

Speaker 2: Hugh Jackman was on the Red carpet with Debory Furnace in twenty twenty three.

Speaker 3: My group chats are very divided on this. Some love the two of them together and some are talking about deb Prowley.

Speaker 1: Do you have to not debut your relationship after a divorce five years, ten years? What do we want?

Speaker 2: There are no rules, but I am allowed to go oh poor deb Oh, no, I hate that I am allowed. And then the tabloids, because again I'm a basic bitch. The tabloids were like, hey, basic bitches, We've made up a story for you. So there are sources in Inverata commas who say that Debrale Furnace was a huge fan of the event and the decision to bring Sutton Foster was a final blow to deb And what I didn't realize when I went really deep on this was some Foster's wearing a ring, like they think that you proposed in January and they think they're going to have some trend in your wedding.

Speaker 1: And is that all are not allowed? He's not allowed to marry again, not ever, not ever.

Speaker 3: I I don't know about that.

Speaker 1: How do you know that, Deborah Lee Furness. This is what I don't like about this narrative is it victimizes a woman who maybe is totally done with that, you know what I mean. She obviously she made up some statements that made it clear she was not happy when that relationship broke down, But again three years ago, so now she might be living her absolute best life. Thank god I don't have to go to the met gala with that guy.

Speaker 3: She disagrees politically too. We don't know anything about it, like she was kind of famously a conservative political voice because he is the godparent of Rupert Murdock and Wendy Dang's children. Also, he's very close with Avanka Trump. So no one was surprised to see Hugh at the slightly maga codd metgala.

Speaker 1: Oh wow, he's unfair, And I know no one's crying for the celebrities, but I think it's unfair to brand everybody who was at that red carpet as maga.

Speaker 3: Co Oh no, no, no, I did too, But I just I'm saying that he's not exactly Alexandra Orcasio Cortez. No one would be expecting him to make a big political statement about the taxing the rich. No, he's very like to promote.

Speaker 1: In a moment, what the heck was all that Baldoni Lively business about? If we've both basically ended with nobody winning and no money changing hands. So moments before one Blake Lively swept onto the met gala carpet looking a bit like Cinderella, very trademark minus the bluebird. She didn't happen. She always said exactly body, She's pretty good all that stuff. But moments before that, a statement dropped into the inboxes of major press outlets, including People, New York Times and so on, and it read the end product the movie. It ends with Us is a source of pride to all of us who worked to bring it to life. And with no context, Everyone's like, why are we reading this? Raising awareness and making a meaningful impact in the lives of domestic violence survivors and all survivors is a goal that we stand behind. It becomes clear this is a joint statement from Blake Lively's team and Justin Baldoni's team about the court case we've all been obsessed about for years. We acknowledge the process, presented challenges, did it.

Speaker 3: Recollections and recognized concerns raised by mes Lively deserved to be heard.

Speaker 1: We remain firmly committed to workplaces free of improprieties and unproductive environments. This is one of those statements that so many lawyers were involved in drafting that it.

Speaker 3: I hate an unproductive environment and I'm with that.

Speaker 1: That's fair. It is our sincere hope that this statement brings closure and allows all involved to move forward constructively and in peace, including a respectful environment online. And in the hope of moving forward constructively and in peace, Blake goes to the met gal Yeah, yep. Now we'll get to whether or not they got their respectful environment online, But just a very quick catch up, because we would be here for a year if we went into all the ins and outs of what's been going on here. But it all started when Blake Lively. Do I need to explain who she is? Significant star actress, possessor of wonderful hair, one half of a very powerful Hollywood power couple, made a movie called It Ends with Us, based on one of the best selling books in the past decade by Colleen Hoover.

Speaker 2: And you guys are weird about it because I said this morning that it's objectively one of the worst movies I've ever seen. And you guys, it's fine. You guys were so mad well. I didn't stop you so mad well.

Speaker 1: I'm gonna get to that in a minute. The thing is is that making a movie based on one of the best selling books of the decade is smart business and lots of people wanted to do it. But the man who owned the rights was Justin Baldoni, who's a lesser known dude. He's an actor, producer, self proclaimed feminist. Done. Some Ted talks about it.

Speaker 3: Everything I know about this man I've learned against my will exactly done.

Speaker 1: Some Ted talks about it podcast with Liz Plank something something something. Anyway, the movie itself is about domestic balance. That is not a mystery or a surprise at his front and center in the plot. The movie got made, and the movie was a huge hit, proving Claire Stephens wrong.

Speaker 3: All I need to say.

Speaker 1: Against the modest production budget of twenty five million, it grossed around three hundred and fifty one million dollars. Huge movie, right, But before the hit part happened, obviously, it was obvious that things were for apart. Behind the scenes, everything had gone very very wrong. We're not going to take you through because again I know Klas Stevens has a PowerPoint on this somewhere. You It went very deep at the time. You were a great source of it.

Speaker 3: It was great. A lot of this was going down.

Speaker 2: I think maybe just as I submitted my books, and my reward to myself was finish your book and you can read all the legal poculars.

Speaker 1: Yes, and there was this press tour that was like separate red carpets and warring factions and all this stuff. And then in December twenty twenty four, Lively sued Baldoni, accusing him of harassment, sexual misconduct, and a smear campaign on the set of their movie. She claimed that Baldoni conspired with publicists to preemptively destroy her reputation, hence the dodgy press tour after she privately accused him of sexually harassing her on the movie set. There were a lot of damning texts released, all hell broke loose. Then Baldoni countersued. He basically alleged that Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds always wanted to take over this movie, the control of the script, to the edit, all the things that they had it in for him, and they used their very famous friends to intimidate and harass him.

Speaker 3: I'll never forget the email that when unanswered, that she sent to Matt Damon.

Speaker 1: Oh, I know. There were a lot of damning texts revealed.

Speaker 2: Again, sorry, the one to Ben Affleck where she like, oh, she just made an awkward joke about how she had sent the email to Matt Damon and how great Matt Damon was, and I was like, honey, that's like Ben Affleck's biggest point of in security is comparing himself to Matt Damon and you don't know the idiots and your correspondence with Ben.

Speaker 1: And so here we are suddenly, just weeks before this mess was all going to go to court, all these cases have been it.

Speaker 3: Hadn't even gone to court.

Speaker 1: No, some things had been dropped dropped. So first of all, Baldoni's case against Lively got dropped, and some elements of Lively's case against him got like so there was all that was stuff, but it was it was meant to go to court I think on May eighteen, so soon. Wow, And days before it's been disappeared. Lawyers have made millions, reputations have been trashed and nobody apparently no money exchanged hands between the two parties, and no one, as you as evidenced by that really confusing press release, nobody is saying that they've won or not. Claire does the fact that Blake Lively stepped onto the met Gala carpet the minute that happened signaled that she sees this as victory or that she'd liked to pretend the whole thing didn't happen, And how the hell does she move forward?

Speaker 3: Yeah, Claire, what does that mean that she shot up at the Metgala?

Speaker 1: One?

Speaker 2: I think it's genius. I always think that the best publicity in response to this stuff is to be around and change the narrative, like changing a different direction. Celebrities are so clever that it is no coincidence that this statement came out when it did and that then she was on a red carpet, because you just you know that there's so much going on in the world. People are going to be all the celebrity reporters are going to be distracted, just like the zones.

Speaker 3: Yes, yes, And.

Speaker 2: It's the same reason it always happens. When I was editor in chief, the local Australian celebrities would always announce their breakup at like five pm on a Friday, and it's like, you know.

Speaker 3: The journals have gone to drinks or boxing day.

Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know, we've gone to drinks, you know that West Skeleton stuff on the weekends.

Speaker 3: We're not going to go as hard on this story.

Speaker 2: So I think it was smart that it was released when it was, and it was smart that she turned up at the met gala and that she reminded everyone I look really good in address.

Speaker 1: You to figure but disagree because what immediately happened the minute she opened her mouth.

Speaker 2: Well, this is what's interesting that depending on your algorithm, and depending on what side of the Internet you're on, there are two very different stories. So on certain apps, the story I'm saying is this was a win for Blake Lively that, for example, the line at the end of that statement including a respectful environment online, that that was very much acknowledging what had happened to her, which was all the allegations about manufactur orchestrated campaign.

Speaker 1: Because that is the thing that I will take away from this mess the most, is that seeing the messages between Baldoni's press people and him about ways that you can use and manipulate social media to dent somebody's reputation is not just like when you see suddenly start seeing everywhere lots of tiktoks around of like, look at this interview with this person, doesn't she come across a bit like this but there can be a lot more behind it. And this is also things that we pointed out about amber Hood joining the amber Hood Johnny deppcayse that there can be a really orchestrated dark arts going on there, and certainly the examples that were pinging back and forward between Justin Baldoni and his reps suggested that I knew that.

Speaker 2: Yeah, And so there's there's a lot of arguments that that line in particular is about what she went through, because she really has been torn apart on the internet. However, I couldn't believe that she turns up at the met Gala. She there's she clearly you could actually tell from her speaking when she was interviewed that she was nervous, that she was trying, like, I can't put my foot in it.

Speaker 3: I can't like that.

Speaker 2: There have been viral interviews of her for a couple of years now all over the Internet of her just saying slightly the wrong thing in an interview, and it becomes that she's an awful person. Blake Lively did an interview on the met Gala red carpet and it has been analyzed to death, and people think she was rude to the interviewer in this instance, well, you look gorgeous.

Speaker 4: I am wearing Jackson weederhot gorgeous, thank you beautiful hair. She yeah, you look studying. And this is archival versace, but they met a fid it by adding a big beautiful train. So it's a piece from two thousand and six. And it was just such an honor to be able to wear this gorgeous, gorgeous gown. It looks like a sunrise and a sunset and watercolor and gorgeous range shworts, jewelry. But this this, but these, this is a Judith leberbag. And we were trying to find a piece of famous iconic art to put on and make it look like it was in a frame. And then I said, would you actually, if you're gonna make it custom, would you do my kid's art? So my kids each painted a painting, a watercolor painting. So each of my four kids did this.

Speaker 1: That is so spoo especial.

Speaker 4: So I have them with me.

Speaker 2: And that has been interpreted as her being a bit, as her being dismissive, as her being self scentered. The other thing that's been I think we want to know what this is.

Speaker 1: So here's my challenge to your strategy, be public, give them things to talk about, because she can't get away from this narrative now for some time, it's been years of her lit like every time she opens her mouth. There's a lot of people invested in you're a terrible person, as you say, so they're just going to find ways to say that over and over again. In the way that the Internet is now very invested in hating Blake Lively a certain so, just in the way that the internet's very invested in hating Megan Markele. It doesn't matter what she does, what she says, where she goes. You can't win that game.

Speaker 2: One of the great arguments was it costs one hundred k for a plate at the Met gala, and part of her claim was the financial stress caused by Baldoni smear campaign. And it's like she's not paying for that one hundred k plate, neither is anyone people being like I thought you were arguing you were locked out of Hollywood.

Speaker 3: Doesn't look like you're locked out of Hollywood.

Speaker 2: And she had a bag where her interpretation of the art theme was that she got her four kids to draw a picture on each side of the back no self centered, made it about you.

Speaker 3: You wanted to.

Speaker 2: Claim authorship over this event, So there are people.

Speaker 1: This is why I think her best strategy is to go away for a few years.

Speaker 2: Yeah, because I think the weird thing is I think if Justin Baldoni had turned up, I think there's something, there's an anonymity that we give men that we just don't give women like I just don't think he is going to be plagued in the same way. And I think it's Marina Hyde who says he'll probably do some low budget it.

Speaker 1: Will definitely have dented his possibilities of becoming a big name. I think that because, as Marina Hyde says in that story in The Guardian, she wrote a column about this, saying that the overarching lesson of this whole thing is never ever go to court, never ever ever. And they didn't actually end up in court, but still is that for the rest of time. Their names are now linked, every interview, every pro file, every project they do. This will always be part of the story in a way that it wouldn't if it hadn't entered the courts. But when I say I think go away free, I don't mean disappear like I don't mean silencing women. I mean work on projects, work on producer projects, hustle behind the scenes, do all your hollywoody stuff until you can come back to address this with more nuanced Look at Lena Dunnan. We've been talking about that a lot lately. Famously one of the most hated women on the internet for a period of time, couldn't put a foot right, couldn't do anything right, opened her mouth, everybody jumped on her. We know how the culture treats women who speak out about all kinds of things. There are local examples of this too. In a way. You've got to like let the air out of it and then come back when there's some nuance and distance.

Speaker 3: You know what I mean That her while best friend Taylor Swift would have told her that too, because Taylor, of course also famously disappeared and was getting around in large boxes for a while just to stay out of the public eye. That comment of Marina Hides about never go to court is interesting because a few years ago, someone in a professional context did something to me that made me want to take them to court, and so I went to talk to a lawyer about it, who have been recommended to me, and the lawyer heard me out. I was very grateful for the advice she gave me. She said, look, I think you have a strong case, but if you did this, everyone in your field would say that you were a nightmare, no matter what happened in the court case, no matter how right you are, and I do think you're right, it would affect you professionally and it would follow you professionally for the rest of your life. And I think getting that advice from someone who had kind of a monetary gain to taking the case on was something I really appreciated. And I just wonder if Blake Lively's legal advice turned out to be deeply misguided.

Speaker 1: I know. The sad thing about this argument I've never taken to court is, of course, that women putting up with sexual harassment at work are just always this guy from ever doing anywhere with it, because you're going to get your character smeared. And it might be on the scale of a Blake Lively, or it might be just the local gossip at the football club, like whatever it is, and that it's like we've seen this play out in massive letters across the sky that watch out, women will get you one way or another, and whether or not Blake Lively is particularly likable, is always nice to everybody? Blah blah blah, isn't the point?

Speaker 2: Yeah, it is quite scary for women knowing that if you pursue, which is what an element of what Blake Lively was pursuing, a sexual harassment claim, that all your texts will be looked over and mocked and made fun of. Like, that's a really scary cost to pay. After the break James Valentine and why everyone's talking about the concept of a living wake. On the twenty second of April of this year, cast out musician and author James Valentine died age sixty four, leaving behind his son, his daughter, and his wife. The ABC veteran had terminal cancer, and he was widely loved by his audience, who had been listening to him for three decades. He had been transparent over the last two and a half years about his health. He was a very talented saxophone player and anyone who grew up in the eighties in Australia probably knows him as part of the band The Models and their iconic songs Barbados and Out of Mind, Out of Sight, and he was a Sydney radio presenter. Emilia and Holly, what was your connection to James Valentine as a radio personality?

Speaker 3: He was a really important figure in my childhood. He hosted a thing called the Afternoon Show on ABC when back when there were forty TV channels in this country. I remember those days, and he would host and it was cartoons, it was variety. And I never really listened to him on the radio, but I have such you know, in the way that those childhood figures loom large for you. I've always held such fondness and affection for him. And how about you, Hollie.

Speaker 1: He's clearly just an incredibly skilled communicator. I mean, I would be lying if I said I listened to that show. But anyone who knows how radio works, how the ABC works, so many people I know who know him. He was just clearly exceptionally good at what he did and very loved.

Speaker 2: It's a reminder I think that parasocial relationships have existed long before the Internet. The fact that when the news of his death came out there was a widespread kind of public grieving and a lot of listeners who called in the next day, and his wife and his kids were kind of saying how much that meant to have people remember their dad through sense of humor and his energy. So two and a half years ago he was diagnosed with esophagal cancer and he was given two different treatment options, and he chose the one that was a bit less invasive and would preserve the things he loved in life, which were presenting radio, playing saxophone and enjoying food. Then in January of this year, he's given a terminal diagnosis and his response to that diagnosis and what he planned to do next was documented in Monday's episode of Australian Story, presented by Lee Sales, and it started a huge conversation about the concept of a living wake, which he very fittingly held on Valentine's Day of this year. Here's what he said on the show stage.

Speaker 5: Four, terminal, inoperable, uncurable. I don't want to hear any of those words, let alone in the one sentence. So a friend suggested Tommy, maybe you should do a living wake, and oh, that sounds like fun. I will know the time and the day and so it'll be the last weekend. What do you do on that last weekend's dinner? Before? What do you think is that the last meal, I will probably know exactly when I'm going.

Speaker 1: That's so moving. So seeing the footage of his reference at the end there was due to the fact that he ultimately chose the time he was going to die, right.

Speaker 2: Yeah, he chose voluntary assisted dying and was very transparent around how he made that decision and what that decision entailed. For context, voluntary assisted dying is legal in all states in Australia and the Act except the Northern Territory, and obviously it's an incredibly complex and incredible, incredibly personal decision that has sparked. It's sparking more and more conversation the more we have and aging population and the more people are getting certain diagnoses that may keep them alive for a very long time, but the quality of that life may be poor, and him kind of taking people through that decision was a huge part of the Australian story. But it meant that he got to plan this living wake and there's footage of it, and he's got his family and friends there and there are so many familiar ABC faces and he's really good friends with Norman Swan, who he had on radio to discuss his diagnosis, like what all the different parts of the body were and what they did. And there was something so moving about seeing him on stage with a microphone at his own wake, basically saying, please come up to me and tell me stories and memories about us, because they are what's going to carry me through the next few weeks. And I guess I thought it must be such a relief for his family that then when you do a funeral, he's heard all the beautiful things that you're then going to say about him. I think this is really something we should we should all be looking at.

Speaker 1: If it's possible, this episode of Australian Story is really recommended viewing. I think, whether you know who James Valentine is or not, in a world where we hate to talk about death, and yet it touches everybody obviously, I mean that's a ridiculous thing to say, but it does touch everybody. I'd lost a friend to this same cancer when he was only forty six. It's like all cancers. It's a it's it's cruel and the idea that we're also we don't like talking about illness, we don't like talking about death, and seeing somebody such a skilled communicator like James Valentine in this episode talking about why he wanted to do the things he did, and they document the year so very like him talking about how very much clarified for him that he loved his work, so he didn't want to stop working. He loved playing his saxophone, so he wanted to try and avoid procedures that were going to stop him from doing that. That he really wanted to work, play and be with his family, and those are the things he wanted to spend his last year doing. It's just it's very powerful, it's very clarifying. And then to see him at his living way and he says, you know, it wakes People always say, oh, he would have loved me there, and he says, so I wanted to be there, And I just think it's very refreshing. I think, you know, I, as I said, I didn't have a direct listenership with Joe's Valentine, but people who do, and people I know who've worked with him said he brought joy all the time. And it feels like a gift to give be so honest and so open and so clear eyed in talking about this thing that nobody wants to talk about. Is like the last incredible gift that a great communicator could give, and his family is so amazing in it. I really recommend watching the show.

Speaker 2: There's a great quote in one of the ABC articles about his kind of decision making towards towards the end, where I think, as a psychologist says, dying people are not the actual act of dying is not the thing they're most scared of. They're scared of the invisibility and the absence of conversation around it. They're scared of people turning away and not wanting to be around them because of how confronting it is. And this was just such a reminder to look it straight in the eye and have the existential conversations with the people around you. The way that he spoke to his kids, and his kids were able to say, what do you think is going to happen afterwards?

Speaker 3: And I bet that that's so much harder to do than even it looks. It doesn't look easy, but I bet it's even harder to actually enact these principles that we can all agree are worthwhile.

Speaker 1: I love that his kids say that this was perfect for him in particular, this living weight, because he loved being center of attention. He loved a party, He loved being told I'm brad he was. I love the way they you know that families are really kind of I mean, I'm sure no families are perfect, but they're really healthy and loving when they can just call out that stuff about you and be like, he would love this because he just loves everybody tell him how great he is.

Speaker 3: So good.

Speaker 2: Yeah, And I loved that it wasn't a sanitized version because I think something I always bristle at is when you hear of somebody getting a terminal diagnosis or of you know, knowing that they're going to die. I bristle at the narrative of I guess almost toxic positivity that they're just like, well, I'm completely grateful and joyful. And then I feel for the people who don't have that response, which is completely bloody normal. But I loved there was a lot of light and shade in this. They talked about they went on a holiday, a family holiday to Bali, just before he was meant to get the surgery for his esophagus, and that the whole family's like, oh so bloody terrible holiday. Everyone was sick, everyone had covid Dad.

Speaker 3: Had BALI belly like. It's sort of I like that.

Speaker 2: In documenting this time, they've been able to show the highs and lows of what happened. But the nort Yeah, how normal it is. But the fact that he was able to do it his way, and that those conversations around what you want, what you don't want, they give so much empowerment in those in those final months and final days.

Speaker 1: Something completely different. There was celebrity baby news this week that I must mark because it was interesting. Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden just welcomed their third child. And it's interesting because Cameron is fifty three. Now. When I say that, I don't mean it's interesting in that way of like, oh, miracle baby, how did she do that? Why did you do that? Cameron Diaz. They announced that their little boy had come. They announced what his name was. His name is Nortous and he joins Raddix and Cardinal, which are all just the most rock star names of all time. They announced it. They didn't give any more details than that. It is safe to assume just because Cam's been on a press tour lately, she's been quite visible on a tour for a movie called Outcome, So she's been very visible, and it's safe to assume possibly that she wasn't heavily pregnant during that time, so likely that a surrogate was involved, but none of our business. But the thing that I found really interesting and refreshing that I wanted to unpack a little bit here is I wrote an essay a while ago when Sienna Miller was on the Red Carpet with her beautiful baby bump at I think forty three, and saying how we're entering a bit of an era of agelessness because perhaps of fertility technology, because of the different options that are open to us now, because of Hollywood and the wellness world's obsession with longevity, that we're in a different era now when it comes to age and women and kids. And I think nothing illustrates that more clearly than the fact that there haven't been a whole waterfall of stories about like, oh my god, a mom at fifty three and how could she and why would she? And da da da da. Is that now we're much more kind of like in the way that we might be about a man becoming a father at fifty three, because if you remove the biological complication from the advance for chility technology and all those things. It isn't really any different than the guy who's been doing that forever. Yeah, am I right? Yeah?

Speaker 2: No, I think so too. The interesting thing is, as well, when I've looked at this story, how old Benji Madam? Well, nobody ever, as I don't know, I don't know, why didn't I.

Speaker 1: Google similar age? I think, well, let's find it happen.

Speaker 2: Yeah, because you're seven, so being a little bit younger Benji's forty seven, bloody spring chicken. But I it's interesting because whenever I see pregnancy baby news, it's obviously the life stage.

Speaker 3: I'man, I always google.

Speaker 1: How old is how?

Speaker 3: How old is that?

Speaker 1: Money is she?

Speaker 2: And you're right that we don't when we wouldn't blink an eye at a man having a child at fifty three. And obviously, if you want to think about any of the things that make rearing children.

Speaker 3: Difficult, the older you get.

Speaker 2: I mean, Amaran Diaz looks like a bloody pillar of health. She's gonna live forever, She's gonna live till she's undred.

Speaker 3: Well, I think what's interesting is that you said no one will blink, and I about a man. I wonder if, now, because women are also having babies older, all of a sudden, we're starting to blink her eyes at men having babies older. Men were allowed to do it for all of human history, but now that women are starting to do it, we're starting to revisit the whole idea of older parents because.

Speaker 2: We are interested, and there is actually more and more scientific research going into the health impacts of older because you know how, I'm called geriatric. Just for the record, I'm a geriatric mother. What age, I'm thirty five years old. No, they don't. They call it advanced material.

Speaker 3: They definitely call it just it's kind of coolrophistic.

Speaker 1: They definitely did call it geriatric though, when I had my second child at forty, I that's interesting.

Speaker 2: But if they call Brent geriatric, no, but they should have done it because he's elderly, I think.

Speaker 1: I think that's interesting. But then that also assumes.

Speaker 3: Like the judgments creeping in for both sexes now, is what I'm saying.

Speaker 1: Yes, and that assumes the idea about like we're becoming aware of the risks of older parents assumes assumes a lot about what might be going on here biologically. Yes, exactly, whereas if Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden and whoever else may be in their cohort are having are assessing all the risks, I'm sure they are. We know how health obsessed Hollywood is and making those choices, and there I think. I don't know that's interesting though, Amelia, where you say that that maybe the judgment, instead of fading away, just attaches itself to both genders.

Speaker 3: Well, because I don't think it is just about biology. I think it would be we need to put on the table to not be disingenuous. That a lot of people listening to this may have a reaction of if you have a baby at a more advanced age, shall we say, in your fifties, you automatically do a bit of maths, and you think, well, when that child in school, Cameron Diaz will be sixty three. I don't know how old Benji Madden will because I'm not that good at maths, but he'll be also kind of old. And so I think that's one of the concerns that people are now voicing a little bit more when no one ever used to say, well, Mick Jagger is going to be so old when his kids graduate but now we are starting to say that or feeling perhaps feeling more comfortable to say that.

Speaker 1: I think that's really interesting. But then I think in this privileged bubble that we're talking about, longevity is an obsession. So I think that that is also changing. This right is that people are thinking rightly, wrongly whatever that with all the right advances and all the right supplements and all the right that they're imagining themselves at seventy three, at this kid's twenty first, like leaping around, I'm doing yoga and pilate, particularly if they.

Speaker 2: And Brian Johnson says he's got what is it the sperm of a twenty old? Think about that, man, Yeah, So I'm sure Cameron and Benji are having the same conversation.

Speaker 3: So Cameron has remember she literally wrote a book about sort of how to be healthy as you get older, so she's this is clearly on her radar that she's sort of anticipating she will be living a long time.

Speaker 1: That's always got time for on this Wednesday.

Speaker 3: At births, deaths, any marriages, No.

Speaker 1: There weren't any couples at the met gala, were they? They all went.

Speaker 2: Solo boycotting, boycotting marriage on the metal, or.

Speaker 1: Maybe it was like, unless that engagement wing comes from Amazon, we don't sink, perhaps in her body, her head and she did anyway. Thank you for being with us.

It's all Harry Styles’ fault that the 'taxi cab theory' is everywhere you look. His engagement has everyone debating whether finding 'the one' is a matter of fate, or as Sex And The City’s Miranda Hobbes told us, all about timing? We do not agree.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is officially massive. So, is it good? Why did it almost make Amelia Lester cry and why do some Americans just not 'get' our Aussie love interest Patrick Brammall?

AUTO GENERATED TRANSCRIPT:
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Mama Mia. Out loud, It's what women are actually talking about on Monday, May the fourth. I'm Hollywayen right, I'm Clays Stephen, I'm Amelia Lester, and here's what's on our agenda for today. The taxiicab relationship theory gets an update thanks to my close personal friend Harry Styles.

Speaker 2: Plus dispatches from the Worst Dressed list ahead of the met Gala tomorrow, and a lister shares what it was like to be mocked over her fashion choices for a decade.

Speaker 3: And the Devil West product is absolutely everywhere right now, so we unpack why, and we also talk about the fact that Meryl Streep, who must be the most celebrated actress of all time, apparently didn't discover her worth until she was fifty six.

Speaker 1: In case she missed it, though out loud as speaking of knowing your worth, we are pulling on our big girl pants and asking you for a favor.

Speaker 3: You have to know, if you're listening to this, that Holly is so uncomfortable right now to just go with us.

Speaker 1: To still like asking for this. I don't like asking, okay, But there's this thing called the Australian Audio Awards. It's like like the Oscars or the Emmys of the logos, except it's not but for people who speak into microphones like us, right, and we're up for some awards this year and we need your help to win them. So if you love love, love out loud, and we know that lots of out louders do, and you listen all the time, and you think you know what those those women need. They need some public accolades, Yeah, some affirmation.

Speaker 2: Think you think you know what I'd like to see. I'd like to see them dress up in some frocks, you get on a stage and make a speech.

Speaker 1: Yeah, but particularly you class evens, I would like to see you do that. The very pregnantness you will be when this event occurs, very high heel, great, and you're in your flop here you keep telling us, so maybe you'll be really indiscreet and just get up there and say something rude. Yeah, anyway, we digress. Tell the out louders how they can help.

Speaker 2: Okay, So basically these Audio Awards, you go there's a link that will put in the show notes and you can vote for There's two things and sorry, you can vote anyway that you got.

Speaker 1: We're not voting, you know, we've got suggestions.

Speaker 2: In our interests. We like you to vote for best Podcast Producer Ruth to Vine, Mummy are Out Loud, and Best Society and Culture Podcast Mummy.

Speaker 4: Because we are society high society, and we are very we're so cultured.

Speaker 2: And we do. The thing is we pretend to be cool, but we really like awards.

Speaker 4: And I think that's what people think of when they think of you and me. They're just like, we're.

Speaker 1: Too cool for school.

Speaker 2: And meanwhile we're like, we rely on achievement for something. But it would be funny. I think. So the podcast Awards the end of this month, right the twenty eight. I believe I would like to win this award. While Jesse's on Matt lead, I think.

Speaker 1: You want to just wade right into that weird Steven's Sister dynamic. Just get into the weird Twin stuff. Come in and help. I think there's a people's choice too, So anyway, like just vote for us, vote for wherever you get to vote for us, and we would love it. We can't bribe you with anything except our affection. Yeah, yeah, anyway, shall we get on with the friends over to you, Amelia Lester, I'm up.

Speaker 3: Well, it's been hard to escape the Devil Wears prior to of, like, really has it has been everywhere?

Speaker 4: I kind of felt like bullied into going to see it.

Speaker 1: I feel like Merril's chasing us down with that red pitchfork. She's like, literally, go theater on and look.

Speaker 4: It's done really well.

Speaker 3: It's done better than anyone expected at the box office over the weekend. I'm going to tell you what the critics said. They basically liked it, and then I want to know what you thought, Holly Claire. I know you haven't seen it yet. Yeah, the critics praised it. They said it was glamorous, they said it was wishy, They said it was the fun we need right now. They called it a millennial nostalgia bath. I love a millennial nostalgia brath. Look, some did question the whole premise of updating a movie that came out twenty years ago. Someone wrote it's less a follow up than a tribute at the satire apparently didn't bite so hard.

Speaker 4: Holy. What I want to know.

Speaker 3: Is did this movie live up to the marketing height machine for you?

Speaker 1: I don't want to be a debbie down of it. No, I went to see it with my sixteen year old daughter, and that was really interesting because the absolute enormous generation gap there in terms of so this is a magazine. Once upon a time, magazine editors were considered very important and influential. She's like, this was a job everybody wanted. That was a lot of groundwork being laid there with my daughter. And look, I'm not allergic to a nostalgia bath. I like that. I mean I back in the day, I was first in line for the Sex and the City movie like I was.

Speaker 4: And the vibes were similar.

Speaker 1: And even though as we know, that run of movies ended up disappointing us bitterly, in that first movie, I remember the excitement of seeing those women on screen again and being in the movie theater and seeing them walk down the street and like the audience was kind of like, yeah, there's a girl, and we're back in that world. And I think the Devil Wears Prada nostalgia is similar in that these were great characters who've entered, you know, our culture in lots of different ways. Miranda Priestley and Andy Sex and Emily Blunt's character Emily is just heaven. So I understand that wanting to jump back into that, but they've had to give it quite a cynical update to reflect where media culture is now, and so it ends up to me feeling like quite a negative, like it's not and to be honest, the Sex and the City movie was a bit like this too. I remember they were grappling at the time of the financial crisis and so they were like, this cushion costs two hundred and fifty dollars, and lots of the critics were like, who are these women and why are they spending that money? And this feels a bit like that, and that we're supposed to all be lolling and laughing along while they're telling us our media has been hollowed out, billionaires run everything.

Speaker 4: I don't know.

Speaker 1: Am I being a bit too cynical? No?

Speaker 4: I think you're right.

Speaker 3: When I went to see it, I went to see it with two friends and they both turned to me at the end and said, are you all right? Because I kind of feel on the verge of tears and didn't Nicki Gammel, Yes.

Speaker 1: I saw a review from Nicki Gammel in The Australian where she said, she cried, And she didn't cry because the plot line was really touching it. She cried because of what it was saying. Yea journalism, which is obviously not everybody's industry and they don't care. But if it is yours, you have this kind of affection for it, and this does not dress that up.

Speaker 5: No.

Speaker 3: And what's interesting is Lauren Weisberger, who wrote who wrote the book, The Devil was Prida a piece for Vogue dot Com on the occasion of this movie coming out about what her life has been like after that book came out. Now, that book was not seen particularly favorably when it came out. People criticize the bad writing. It was kind of seen as a little bit mean, a little bit throwaway, and then that first movie kind of gave the book a bit more of a sheene than it had on first publication. Now, Lauren Weisberger has done great for herself. She apparently announces in this article that she now lives on a boat in a remote part of the Bahamas, which is good for me. Absolutely sounds difficult to get your mail there, but other than that sounds delightful. But her article reminded me that her book was first and foremost about a bad boss. Yes, that's what people loved about it because everyone, practically everyone has been in a work situation where they felt oppressed underappreciated, and everyone could relate to that kind of idea that when you're young, you want to make your mark on the world, but older people kind of are trying to push you down, or that's what it feels like. So everyone knows what it feels like to be young and underappreciated, but the new movie is so far removed from that idea of bad bosses and bad workplaces as it feels alien to.

Speaker 1: It's also funny because the bad Boss, Miranda Priestley, obviously became a cultural hero, so much so that Anna Wintour, who she's famously based on, kind of kept her distance very much from the first movie, but now is entirely in on it. She's appearing in all the promo. There's a lot of partnerships between Vogue and this movie, so she's accepted that. But there are a couple of nods in the movie to how times have changed in that now Miranda Priestley isn't allowed to just throw her coat at people anymore, and she has someone who sits next to on the meetings and says things like you can't say that all the time, as if there has been like a woke update, if you like. And that feels a bit funny, But you're right, it was everybody related to this idea that these people are monsters like glamour.

Speaker 6: Like.

Speaker 1: The idea was that, you know, the Miranda Priestley was kind of a glamorous monster who you got to see a little bit of the humanity of. But by this movie, we're all supposed to be rooting for her, unquestionably.

Speaker 2: Because I think even if that was the kind of premise of the book, in the first movie, you're very much you're looking at Miranda Priestley, but you're also it's obvious that she's an icon and that it's Andy's character arc to kind of fight against that, not that there's something inherently wrong with Miranda. So so I'm interested to see in the second in the second one, whether, yeah, what the stakes are then if there's none of that tension. But as much as you say it was depressing, am I like because I'm going to go see it. I like a film that isn't good.

Speaker 1: I don't know what you mean, but for me it felt and look, I'm not no spoilers here. And you do get lots of fashion montages, you get lots of a fashion show montages. You get you know, they're walking in a different coat every two minutes, there's music, there's celebrities everywhere like this. It delivers all that, okay, but it just for me, it felt kind of a bit empty. And basically the steaks are which billionaire is going to get to own this business? Which was kind of the stakes the first time around two is like will Miranda get to keep a job? And it kind of feels like I don't know if I care about that. But Patrick Brammel, isn't it Remember last Wednesday we were all giddy on the show because he was here and we bumped into him in the offices. He wasn't here to see us, sadly, he was here to be interviewed by the amazing Kate Langbrook for No Filter, and that episode's out today.

Speaker 2: I have purely been absorbed being vibes so far online and I think you guys are pretty spot on with the vibe of people. People I've seen they're like, yeah, yep, fun But Patrick Brammel. I'm obsessed. I'm obsessed with him and Harriet Dyer, who's his wife. They co wrote, co starred in Colin from Accounts, and now he's.

Speaker 4: Maybe one of the funniest TV shows ever.

Speaker 2: Yeah, and now he's in a bloody Hollywood movie with Anne Hathaway. Is he hot? Is he car like? What's the what's the go? Is there? Is there?

Speaker 4: Bare? So I want to.

Speaker 3: Say the outset that I love Patrick Bramore and I think he's so good in this movie. And to me he was a highlight. He was he was just so he gets to play an Australian. So you might remember in the first movie, Andy Sack's love interest is also played by an Australian, Simon Baker, my personal friend has discussed on the show, but he has to put on an American accent, whereas in this one, in recognition of the fact that there are a lot of Australians in New York these days, he gets to play an Australian. So I loved it, But then I started to hear the rumors that his part has really been cut down. People observed that it felt a little underdeveloped, and I.

Speaker 4: Was surprised to read that.

Speaker 3: A lot of the reviews felt there was zero chemistry between him and Anne Hathaway. Oh.

Speaker 1: I didn't feel that necessarily, But what I did fit I knew that his part had been cut. And the reason I knew this is because when we first found out about Patrick Brammle, there lots of pap of him and Anne Hathwayne. She's wearing this particularly incredible sort of bluey purple sequin slithery dress that's just like oh, and she was like spinning around a lamp post and it looked like she was tipsy, and he was holding her back and this kind of stuff. That whole sequence is not in the film, so it obviously has been cut back a lot.

Speaker 3: Boy, I love your forensic knowledge of this so bad.

Speaker 1: I did spy on that. But I think one of the reasons why he plays such a small part because basically he's the love interesting Again, no spoilers about whether or not that works out, But this movie is about girl bosses. Even though girl bosses are out of fashion now, this movie is ultimately about that. It's about Andy's ambition, It's about Miranda's ambition. They sort of talk a lot about how much they love work, and they're the partners are all a bit beta and a bit like not relevant.

Speaker 3: Including by the way, Meryl Streeps, who was played by Kenneth Branner. Yes, and the reviews also commented that that didn't work for them either. So maybe just the writing around these boyfriends and husbands felt hollow because that's not where the interests lay.

Speaker 1: But isn't it funny because we used to critique girlfriend roles, you know in movies. We'd be like, oh, the so and so actress, she just has to play the girlfriend. Not no character development, right, no particular complex characteristics or backstory. They're just the girlfriend. And I feel like this and so maybe this is progress. This is one of those movies where there are just the boyfriend roles.

Speaker 4: So it's just like true sort of.

Speaker 1: Middle aged guy. Well, I don't know whether Patrick Brewmle will qualify as middle age whatever, like nice enough age appropriate guy of name recognition is in this person's life, but we don't really care about them.

Speaker 2: There is one person who is pretty convinced that there was chemistry between Anne Hathaway and Patrick Brammel, and it is Patrick Brammle's wife, Harriet Dyer. She I lulled so hard at this. She has uploaded this Instagram video where the caption is trust No One, and she is filming her TV as her daughter stands in front of it, and Patrick's on a red carpet and he is asked by the interviewer about Anne Hathaway, and he says, playing someone who falls in love with Anne Hathaway. Tough gig, tough gig, and he looks straight at the camera, and then the interviewer says, the world's most beautiful person according to People Magazine and everybody in here, and he says, and me too. Andy rewinds it and plays that again and then switches a camera to her and she's like what, And she's got her glasses on and just sitting at home, and then she interspersed it with all this footage of like when you propose to her their wedding.

Speaker 4: Apparently they got engaged five days after he proposed.

Speaker 2: Yeah, yea, yeah, they got married five days up.

Speaker 3: Yeah.

Speaker 2: It was like, so they've had this beautiful love story in him reading Newborn books and being miscored and hath the way talking about how gorgeous and joyful he is, and it's just so good But a great part that Amelia directed me to is that so ninety nine percent of the comments from Australians absolutely get it. That they're like, yeah, this is funny because like whose husband ends.

Speaker 4: Up in Hollywood?

Speaker 2: Blod faster. But there are a few Americans who are like, oh no, this is this isn't right.

Speaker 5: Yeah.

Speaker 3: No, there's a distinct portion of the comments that are like I don't understand what's happening here, or like check on your husband, or like just completely missing the point. And I have reason to believe, in part from the spelling of said comments that they may be from Americans. There's a suspicious lack of us in words like coloring. And that got me thinking as to why Patrick Bramle, who I thought worked so well in the movie, had evidently been cut down. And I wonder if it's just because he is allowed to play such a quintessentially Australian part in it. He is very laconic, he's very understated, he's got that very kind of irony seeped Australian wit about him, and maybe it just didn't play very well in a movie that's actually not very irony drench.

Speaker 1: That's true. I just have to mention one more thing, because I think Mia would throw something at my head if I didn't. Twenty years have passed between these movies. Twenty years has not passed on these ladies' faces. Yeah, it's just be very clear about that.

Speaker 2: I could have told you that without saying any Yeah.

Speaker 1: That doesn't matter because in lots of ways, I think particularly Emily Brunt Blunt's character she plays, she's obviously still Emily, you know, the former assistant, but she's got a villain arc in this and she is meant to be again, this isn't a spoiler, the hot new girlfriend of a billionaire character. So they're like commenting. The script is commenting on the fact that the tech bros run the world now, and there's kind of a Bezosi character who's had a glow up in her hot new girlfriend, and she would have done all that stuff to her face. Question so perfectly character, you know, in character, and appropriate for the industry, for the vibe and all those things. But it is astounding to think it was twenty years ago. Because Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, who is just one of them.

Speaker 2: She seventy, She is incincredible.

Speaker 1: To look at her Jita performance and this is great. You're just like, Wow, my twenty years and your twenty is not the same. Maybe I live in doggy well, Meryl.

Speaker 3: I did want to also say that Meryl had a great moment in her interviews for this She was being interviewed on the American Today Show by Jenna Bush Hager, who was incidentally George W. Bush's daughter, and Jenna was talking to her about the fact that she initially turned down the.

Speaker 4: Role on the Devil Wes product Let's Have a Listen called me up and they made an offer and I said, no, I'm not going to do it. Why because I.

Speaker 1: Wanted to see. I knew it was going to be a hit, and I wanted to see if I doubled my ask. Wow, And they went.

Speaker 4: Right away and said sure, And I thought, I'm fifty six year It took me this long to understand that.

Speaker 1: I could do that, that you can ask for what you want. Yes, and I wanted it. But you know, if they didn't want to do that, I was okay, because I'm old. I'm ready to fifty six.

Speaker 4: I was ready to retire.

Speaker 1: But you know, I love that story. I also love that story because, as she says at the end, there she was fifty six, and she thought, well, I'm winding down, you know, like good years. Her career has been unbelievably amazing in the last twenty years.

Speaker 3: I know.

Speaker 2: And it's also quite inspiring to think you can have that lightning rod moment at fifty six, because I beat myself up thinking, oh goodness, maybe it's too late for me. I should have had it backbone before. Now I've got some time.

Speaker 4: We've got time time to develop it.

Speaker 1: Merril's shown us all that after the break. What Harry Styles can teach us about love? I don't think so what Harry Styles can teach us about taxicabs, which I also have to explain to my daughter what they are as well. God help me. But while we're on a roll of things from another time, A TV show that ended in two thousand and four has provided some of the most enduring relationship theories of several eras. I think there was He's just not that into you, which can also be She's not just not that into you. It's fine, And the other is everywhere in the news this week because of my close personal friend Harry Styles. I think we touched on it last week that Harry and Harry is engaged to Zoe Kravitz. Now, he hasn't said that because he never says anything about his personal life, but sources close to have confirmed.

Speaker 4: Oh good, old sources.

Speaker 1: The woman is wearing a golf ball sized diamond on her finger. It's on. It's definitely on. And this has started a lot of headlines like this one. Harry Styles and Zoe Kravitz are reportedly engaged after less than a year, and fans think this wild theory explains why, and they mean the theory I'm about to explain to you. Harry Styles proposing after eight months is further proof that taxi cab theory is real and none of us are safe. Okay, are you across what taxi cab theory is?

Speaker 2: Yes, I'm across it from Sex and the City. As you say, I believe it was a bit of Miranda Wisdom.

Speaker 1: Oh no, it was Miranda brand I'm about to play it to you. Yeah, Season three, episode eight. This iconic statement the wait.

Speaker 2: Hedge, it's fate.

Speaker 4: It's not fate.

Speaker 5: His light is on, that's all what lights. Men are like cabs. When they're available, their life goes on. They wake up one day and they decide they're ready to settle down, have babies, whatever, and they turn their light on the next woman they pick up them.

Speaker 2: That's the one, Mary.

Speaker 5: It's not fake. It's dumb luck.

Speaker 1: It's not fake, it's dumb luck, so says Miranda Hobbs. Now, obviously none of us, not even me with my close relationship to missus Steals, knows whether or not there's any truth to this in terms of their relationship. But the reason that it's being applied to him is because it has one of the classic characteristics of taxi cab theory, which is that he has had quite a lot of high profile relationships. And when I say high profile again, he's never mentioned any of them ever, but there are photographic evidence.

Speaker 4: Is that right?

Speaker 1: He doesn't talk.

Speaker 2: About his was his most recent one before.

Speaker 1: So he was with Taylor Russell, who's a British actress, for quite a long time. He obviously famously dated Taylor Swift. Yeah, he was with Olivia Wilde for quite a long time. He's dated Kendall Jenna, He's dated Caroline Flack, He's dated a lot of people.

Speaker 3: Can I just interrupt Holly and ask do you think he's going to come to the tailor swift wedding now that he's engaged to no should wedding guests.

Speaker 1: I we really hope so that wedding is going to be the best. The reason why they're applying this theory to him is they're saying that a trademark of a taxi cab the taxi cab theory, And I don't think this is just a men thing. I think this is men and women. Is that you know, you date lots of people and you try them all on and whatever, and the theory is that one of them is right for you. But taxi cab theory says it's not that one of them is right for you, it's that the timing is right for you. And they're saying that's why Zoe and another trademark of it is quick. So you've been dating, dating, dating, dating quite long relationships a year here, two years here, three years there, whatever, But then eight months he has been dating Zoe that we know of, he puts a ring on it. Taxi cab theory thoughts.

Speaker 2: From the outside, he's looking ready to settle down, and so we all then assume that he's gone, Okay, who am I? Who am I next to right now? Who do I happen to be at dinner with?

Speaker 1: Oh?

Speaker 2: I happen to be with Zoe kra which is Bloody Convey, which.

Speaker 1: Is a very good dinner because, as I discussed, absolutely amazing.

Speaker 2: She's incredible. But the way at least this article was constructed was very much that it was about him and his readiness. And the thing I worry about is that do we start thinking if we use this theory, do we start thinking that someone is only with somebody because of timing, that it's interchangeable, it could have been anyone. It's not real, it's not a real life.

Speaker 1: I don't think that's the correct way to view taxi cab theory. I think it's not about you'll do, it's that the timing is right. And the reason they're not applying it to Zoe Kravitz is because she's been married before and she's been engaged before, so it doesn't apply to her in the same way, do you know what I mean? So my theory on this, and the reason why I think it's true not for everybody, like everything isn't for everybody, is that we like to have a romantic narrative that there's one right person for us, and whether we meet them when we're nineteen or fifty nine, we will just know that's the right person for us. That's it. And what taxicab theory says is that's not true. There could be lots of right people for you, but in order for you to to get together and settle down in verted commas, you have to it has to be the right timing. So other examples for this might be Taylor and Travis. Right if they'd have met at twenty two, because at the same age, would we not have any of these beautiful songs that we have for Taylor, Or if they'd have met when they're twenty two, would the timing not have been right for them both to commit in the way that they are now ready to commit. So in my mind, taxicab theory doesn't mean you're settling or it's the wrong person. It just means timing is everything. So the people I dated before I met my guy, if you're a serial monogamist, and many of us are, we like to go, well, none of those people were right, This one's right. But the truth of it is is probably like that one probably would have been fine, but if we weren't ready, I don't.

Speaker 2: Know it's by romantic sensibility.

Speaker 3: I think I sort of agree with both of you a little bit, and agree with both of you a little bit because I think what the taxicab theory misses is it makes it very one sided, now, whether that side is a man or a woman. I take your point, Holly that even though sex and city talks about men are like cabs, we could equally apply to women. But a relationship is about a dynamic between two people. And what I think this theory overstates is that it's just about one person picking another person. And I don't think that's how relationships work. I don't think a relationship works or like ends in marriage. And I'm using air quotes here for anyone listening, just because one person decided, Yes, this is the person I'm going to make it work. It's about two people meeting and deciding together. And that's what's different about when you get in a cab. It's not about a mutual decision.

Speaker 4: It's about one person deciding.

Speaker 1: I agree. But the way that I've always thought of taxi cab theories, you both have to have your lights on, do you know what I mean, like, you have to both have your lights on for the timing to work. If one of you has the light on and the other one doesn't, it's not going to work. You both have to have your lights on.

Speaker 3: I feel like that was what was really You know, we've been talking on this show about what happens over twenty years, and I think that that line from Sex and the City, they weren't talking about both people having their lights on. I think back then we had an idea of relationships which was that men in heteronormative heterosexual relationships men picked women. Yes, I think, and you're trying to update it, which is good.

Speaker 6: Yeah.

Speaker 1: Although I think I always that was always my understanding of that quote, because I think in later in the show, Carrie's talking about my lights not on, his lights not on, Like I always sort of understand it to mean it's all about timing. And I genuinely do believe that a great deal of whether or not a relationship will work or not is about time.

Speaker 2: I think you only have to watch one to eight seasons I've Married at First Sight to see that it is not oh that much about time, because you've got two people who's lights could not be more on who are matched by very clever, non manipulative psychologist and they go in and you can have your light on as bright as it can possibly be, and it still doesn't vibe.

Speaker 1: I don't buy that because I don't think their lights are on for that at all.

Speaker 2: Oh holy just because they're getting Instagram followers. I am not looking for real love. But the other thing is, I don't know. I think you hear so many stories of people who may be met at a time that wasn't on paper a particularly good time.

Speaker 4: Oh that's a good point to people.

Speaker 2: To meet, and it's still and it still happens.

Speaker 3: Yeah.

Speaker 1: But I think, like any theory, it doesn't apply to everybody. One person's going to meet. Some people are going to football in love of their childhood sweetheart stay with them forever, right. But in the dating world, in the world where you are trying people on, if you are serial and anogamizing, I think that's where this comes in, because sometimes your lights on even when it shouldn't be. Like if you heard of the getaway car theory of like you find a relationship to get you out of the relationship you're in, so you could be married and one person's light is on and the other one doesn't know. Like I think the point of it is that for a lot of people, the one true love theory isn't necessarily it. It's more like, is this the right moment? Clooney and a mile? Very good, very good advertising for that.

Speaker 2: No, hard because I'm also like A miles A mile.

Speaker 3: Zoey, like, I don't know for a proving any extraordinarily Well, no, but I don't like that theory right because I bet that.

Speaker 1: I mean, of course a mile is extraordinary, and of course so is extraordinary. But that theory buys into the idea that everybody who didn't get picked there was something wrong with that and we're waiting for like. So my point about A mile and George is he was married when he was young, but through all his big rise he was single, and he was known as the most eligible bachelor in Hollywood. And I think that he made a bet with Nicole Kidman comes to mind, I will never get married again?

Speaker 3: Is that during that period, as people may remember, I had a long phone conversation with him. She went for about an hour in a work context, and I guess he's light his life just wasn't.

Speaker 2: Why.

Speaker 1: But the thing is is that of course these women are amazing, because of course they are. But if you believe that it just takes the right woman, then that's like a model of exceptionalism that I'm not that into. Was more likely getting to a point in his life where it's like, I don't want.

Speaker 3: To be a six I don't want the pot belly pig as my life, and.

Speaker 1: Then he meets an extraordinary woman, and he would have met other extraordinary women in Amma would have met a million extraordinary men who wanted to tie her down like she's a catch and a half in a million ways, intellect, beauty, human rights, like savior. She's incredible, but her light probably was not.

Speaker 3: I feel like you just out sexist argument to know. I thought the taxi like theory was sexist, which turns out I was carrying.

Speaker 2: Around the sexes I think. I think that there are I think the taxi light theory does make us feel better about ourselves, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it's true, because because I think it's really convenient to be like, oh, that man like George Clooney. The reason he didn't end up with all those women was because of timing, not because he wasn't compatible, it wasn't right whatever, Whereas I think I lean towards Amal and George were always destined?

Speaker 4: Is that do I?

Speaker 1: Did we just say the word destined?

Speaker 2: I think romantic you.

Speaker 4: Are because you met the love of your life quite young.

Speaker 2: Yes, I think maybe I'm trying to justify my own choices, which is.

Speaker 1: And maybe I'm trying to just always because I don't. I don't buy the theory necessarily that everybody before was wrong and it was the right fit.

Speaker 4: Oh, you haven't met my ex boyfriend, fair cool.

Speaker 1: I'd love to know what we think about the taxi light theory, and also if there's an update, because I've heard a couple like some people say it's musical chairs, who are you with when the music stops? Some people say it's coughing season. EMM has said that, like there's times of years, seasons in your life where you're just like, Okay, let's do it.

Speaker 2: I need someone.

Speaker 1: But I was wondering because my daughter wouldn't even know about taxis and lights on.

Speaker 4: No, no, we need to fit into this.

Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, it's like the ubers available and empty.

Speaker 6: The.

Speaker 1: Waiting time on this No, I can't ten minutes too long. Tell us out louder.

Speaker 2: We're really in an era of maxing, which we've touched on on this podcast. Not me personally. I'm not maxing anything.

Speaker 1: I'm just everything is maxim but everything.

Speaker 4: Other people very optimi everything.

Speaker 2: Yes, so looks maxing, sleep maxing, fun maxing, which sounds gross. But here's one I hadn't heard of until this weekend. Sperm maxing. I like it because it's not something I can personally participate in. I feel excused from sperm maxing.

Speaker 1: What how does?

Speaker 6: What?

Speaker 4: How do you?

Speaker 1: Maxis swem? I'm not I don't need to know. I'm just curious.

Speaker 2: Headline in Sydney Morning heralds red iced testicles and abandoned underwear. This is the world of sperm maxing. And it begins by telling us about a lovely man named Mick and his partner Holly, and oh there you go, Holly, I'm in. So they were discussing their plans to have a family, and Holly was and Holly was saying she had fears about her fertility, and Mick said, you leave that to me, love, And so what he did was he stopped wearing underwear because most underwear is made of polyester, and that's apparently and a crime disruptor. Come on, and lowers testosterone.

Speaker 1: I believe many babies have been born to polyester wearing people.

Speaker 2: And then he would ice spark at least once a week, not that shrunk, No, no, no, Heat's the bad thing. Because then another guy called Tom was explaining that he goes in the sauna, but don't worry because he takes an ice pack with him.

Speaker 1: And puts it on this necessary that would be a very confusing sensory experience.

Speaker 2: Because apparently excessive heat is damaging to sperm. So apparently there is some evidence about heat and sperm. But the rest of this is complete. You won't believe it, but it's complete bullshit. But Brian Johnson, who's that tech entrepreneur who's obsessed with longevity, claims to have the one who has his sons.

Speaker 1: Yes, the one who has his son's blood injected into He's done so many and measure time erections. He doesn't need food after eleven am.

Speaker 4: Like that guy.

Speaker 1: He's living a long but very boring life.

Speaker 2: Yeah, well, he claims to have sperm quality to rival a twenty year old. He's got no basis that claim, but that's what he says, which brings me to the Sperm Racing World Cup. Are we aware of the Sperm Racing World Cup?

Speaker 1: Totally?

Speaker 2: I discovered this and it is the funnest thing I've discovered as of late. It's founded by tech entrepreneurs.

Speaker 1: They have too much money, too much money that they should come to my We did frog racing, peak racing, like good.

Speaker 2: Sperm race should be doing some sperm racing. It's a race that's going to be held in San Francisco next month.

Speaker 4: I think what they're saying is that their cab light is on.

Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll show you with my literal sperm. And it's one hundred and twenty eight men, each representing a different country, and they submit semen samples which then compete in a microscopic race for a one hundred thousand dollars prize. Now here's the ad for it, because I know you guys are interested.

Speaker 6: The Sperm Racing World Cup one hundred and twenty eight countries, one hundred thousand dollars grand rights, the highest stakes competition elequancy. We are searching for the healthiest man alive. This race will immortalized a nation to your country is watching, the world is ready.

Speaker 3: I don't want to know what images are currently playing.

Speaker 2: It's sperm racing.

Speaker 1: This brings a whole new meaning to the term wanking. Frustrating one hundred thousand dollars price.

Speaker 2: Yeah, but I as much as trust the tech bros To make a literal tournament out of sperm racing, which I have to say I'd love to attend. I mean, how do you make it exciting? I don't know. This is interesting in the sense that fertility has traditionally been in something that women have seen as their soul responsibility and burdens. And it's nice that men are starting to recognize that. You won't believe it, but fifty percent of fertility is down to the man.

Speaker 4: This feels like Elon Musky to me. It feels musky.

Speaker 3: Yeah, and I imagine, yeah, and.

Speaker 4: You got the That was the joke I needed.

Speaker 2: And obviously the problem is that not every fertility issue is has a cause or like it's it's not your fault.

Speaker 3: I'm sorry you're trying to what's problematic about the spermilm?

Speaker 4: So I think we get a crash and it's.

Speaker 2: Literally not a race. Do you reckon?

Speaker 3: You can do a little bit of a race. Are you familiar with the facts of life? It is literally a race.

Speaker 2: But do you reckon? You can tell when a man has very fast spur?

Speaker 4: Oh my god. Oh interesting.

Speaker 1: But do you think he's putting it on his dating profile like one this it would definitely be on that.

Speaker 3: It's going to immortalize his nation. Yeah, for Australia, I need an update on this.

Speaker 2: When it happens, we'll have to keep everybody updated on the tournament and Australia's participation. We need to find who's representing Australia. Oh my god, sorry, I've got another contact.

Speaker 4: So clear, like you asked, you posed a question to the group. Can you tell first sperm?

Speaker 2: Yeah, something tells me like you kind of know who would have fast sperm. But I don't think it's necessarily a good thing.

Speaker 4: No, it's not always.

Speaker 2: No, I think it's it's aggressive and it's like congrats Elon musk. But like you're releasing a lot of sperm and you're not like hanging out with that sperm very much?

Speaker 1: Are you may not taking the sperm to soccer again.

Speaker 2: No, you're not taking a sperm to sport on the weekend, and I think that's very sad. Oh my god, after the break, we get you across everything you need to know about the Met Gala before tomorrow. Tomorrow on the evening of the first Monday of May, which is always confusing. But America exists in a different time to us.

Speaker 1: There are one day behind us.

Speaker 2: They're one day behind us, and I always have to google time in New York. As is tradition, four hundred and fifty very glamorous guests are going to start arriving at the Met Gala. The dress code for this year is Fashion is Art and the theme is Costume Art and I don't understand the difference between dress code and a theme.

Speaker 1: And also always yeah, the Met Gala is about a costume institute in an eye museum.

Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I'm glad I'm not the only one who was feeling like because I was like, I think it's just me not understanding fashion. But no, it's weird. So guests are invited to explore their relationship to fashion as an embodied art form. That might mean that there are references to literal art, literal paintings, literal kind of art, moments like whether it's the Renaissance or whatever. But it's the Met Gala, so I think everybody just goes bat it crazy and we don't really understand the tide of the theme. Most of her time, Anna Wintur is still the chair despite having handed the rains reluctantly.

Speaker 1: Streep is still the chair.

Speaker 4: Yes she is.

Speaker 2: And she's enlisted Beyonce, Nicole Kidman and Venus Williams to serve as their evening's.

Speaker 1: Co chair, so they have to go.

Speaker 2: Yes they do. Holly, there's a little bit of gossip about Anna Wintour and whether we can expect to see Harry and Meghan at the met Gala.

Speaker 1: You see, the thing is about the Met Gala, and we'll get to this in a minute too, but whether this is is particularly fraught with who will accept an int because of the involvement of one aforementioned Jeff Bezos and his wife Lauren Sanchez Bezos, because they are bankrolling it. So in the past, big companies bankrolled it. I think Apple's bankrolled it before, TikTok's bankrolled it before. Now it's Lauren and Jeff, and some people are like, I don't think we want to be part of that, So we're not going.

Speaker 3: And there have been protests. People have been putting bottles of urine or a liquid that appears to be urine, scattering them around the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the lead up to the gala to protest the fact that the alleged fact that Amazon warehouse workers are not provided with toilet breaks.

Speaker 1: Wow, that's a protest. And for the last few years they have been to kind of eat the rich vibe boiling away about the met gala for good reason, but this year it's overt, right, So I reckon that Harry and Meghan might use that as the excuse for why they weren't invited. You I didn't want to go any who wants to go and hang out with Jeff and Lauren. Those people are bad, evil, naughty. But actually it's that Anna wouldn't invite them, And why would Anna not invite them? So the word on the street is that Anna because it used to be Anna. Winter's relationship with celebrities evolved a lot over the years, and if you watch The Devil We was Proud of Too, you'll know that was a matter of survival. There was a time when she was like Kim Kardashian, I don't think so she's not vogue, and then she literally is exceptionally vogue these days. But she apparently doesn't like Harry and Meghan because she's a royalist, a staunch royalist. She's a dame after all. This might be overregged a bit, but she's a royalist, so she doesn't approve of what happened there and the way that Harry treated the late queen allegedly, and also that Meghan chose to do her first ever Vogue cover with Edward Ennafel in Britain and Anna was not happy about that and sees her as a bit.

Speaker 2: So I wonder if eventually they'll be considered.

Speaker 1: I think Anna's backtracked on enough things and in fact, you know, but as I say, I think that Harry and Megs, if they're not there, which I don't think they will be, well, could definitely use a social justice excuse. But there are a lot of very famous people who are going to be there, of course, including as you've said, the afore mentioned Nicole. Lena Dunham's going, which I find amazing because I've just read a memoir and she talks about the Metgala and not glowing terms, but she was on one of the committees as well. I think we've got Sabrina Carpenter, We've got Zoe Kravitz, so we might get Harry. We've got a lot of very famous people who are going. But this year, more than ever, it's kind of political.

Speaker 3: There's a bit of a tipping point being reached about it. Amy O'Dell, who writes a fashion subject called The back Row, wrote last week a piece that I've seen a lot being quoted and circulated which basically argues that the met Gala is in danger of becoming uncool.

Speaker 4: And the whole point of the met.

Speaker 3: Gala was that it was cool, right, It was like the ultimate and fashion. And the problem is that by allowing the Bezoses to bankroll the whole thing and a winter, risks turning the whole thing into this very craven exercise that no one will want to be a part of. So it's interesting. I'm going to be watching the Red Cup very carefully this year to see if it does feel like the star wattage has been slightly dimmed.

Speaker 2: Yeah, and if the people who make it cool because Ndaya is not going Zendaya makes things cool.

Speaker 4: She does.

Speaker 2: So what I found interesting in all the kind of stuff I've seen about the Met Gala coming up, there was a great piece on Lena Dunham's substack called and her subtacks called good Thing Going, and she wrote a piece called Dispatches from the Worst Dressed List, and I clicked straight away because having been a huge fan of girls, having been a huge fan of her, I remember years and years and years of seeing her constantly mocked for her fashion choices, and I remember wanting to scream at my computer and be like, it's not the fashion, you're talking about her body, And I was so frustrated. And she has now kind of processed that. And as you say, Holly, she's going to be at the Metgala, which is a bit of a surprise. But she writes at the beginning that she's in the process of getting ready for the Met Gala, which she loves to watch but tends to wobble through. And she talks about some of the things that were written about her and how it destroyed her relationship to fashion, and she had loved it when she was little, she had found it really really fun, but it got confusing. She writes when dressing became a bit more of a public affair. Basically, she quotes a bit that Joan Rivers said about her, where she said, it's okay stay fat, but don't say it's okay that other girls can look like this. Try to look better, and Lena Dunham Wrights, I was trying. We just have a different definition of what better meant. And do you guys remember those years? Oh yeah, her just being made fun of.

Speaker 1: But also because as I said, I've just read the book, or nearly at the end, it's very clear that she's got like she went through years where she was conventionally skinny, and if you correlate this in the book, that coincides with time when she was really struggling with her health and her addiction issues and with mental health and all those things. Since she'd be super skinny and people would celebrate her for that. She made the cover of Vogue famously once in one of those eras, and then there were other times where she was encouraged. There's a part at the beginning about girls where she was told put more weight on the fact that your body looks the way it does is the thing that makes this show Edgy get bigger. So like her body has obviously been objectified to send different messages at different times about all kinds of things. But it's also clear in her book that she does love clothes and style and fashion and that her mind did does and so it was part of her world. But that's not the case for everybody. Right, If you go to the Met Gala, especially these days, you're generally paid to be there by a brand. They will dress you, they will style you, they will do your duels, they will do your put you up at the hotel, and you'll do all these things and it will cost them millions. But I was reading about how it's seen as the best possible advertise, which is be interesting. If the coolness factor wears off, as you're talking about Amelia, that is the best marketing spender brand can have. Because apparently the media impact of the Metgala is bigger than the Super Bowl in terms of how Father's pictures travel, how much coverage it gets, the fact it's televised, it will be on every news side, it will be on every social media feed forever. That not only the brands who are actively involved, like Vogue and whichever are actually sponsoring it will be the ones who cover it, so it is seen as money well spent, and the event itself costs about six million to put on.

Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's obviously at a level that few of us can relate to the met Gala, But that Lena Dunham piece gave me a lot of feelings.

Speaker 4: I loved it.

Speaker 3: I read it as a companion piece to the love Story discourse. This whole idea of Carolyn Bessett Kennedy, who was lauded for her fashion sense.

Speaker 4: People ask the question, is this fashion or is she just thin?

Speaker 3: And this was kind of the flip side to that argument, which is can I not be fashionable if I am not thin? And I loved the fact that she asked that question. This really hit home to me because I have never felt like someone who knows how to dress. I am surrounded by very stylish people, and I grew up with like friends. And I interrupt, Please don't I think of myself as I feel like I've struggled with what to wear my whole life. And I do enjoy clothes. But it's interesting that when I was at my skinniest and probably at a pretty unhealthy relationship with my body. I was lauded much more for my clothes and for my supposed style than at other points in my life. And I love that Lena's teasing out that connection. And just recently I saw some comments online that said that I don't dress very well, and it hurt my feelings because I was like, I try, and I do try with my clothes, and I meant to not try. I mean, as as Miranda Priestley reminds us in The Devil wes Prata, we all have to get dressed in the morning, so you may as well put some thought into it. But I do wonder how much of what we perceive of as stylish is actually connected to bodies.

Speaker 1: Oh so much of it is. And I mean this last night literally, I was packing for the week because I always come up to Sydney on a Monday morning. I usually stay for a couple of nights, so I've got to think on Sunday when I'm in my most harried, like what am I wearing? Obviously we're on camera, but and I was in my huffing around in my bedroom, going I hate all my clothes. I hate all my clothes, and my kids could hear me, and obviously because I am aware, you know, feminist mother, I do not huff around my bedroom going I hate my body, nothing fits me. But the code is I hate all my clothes. I've got nothing to wear, and my son it's like, what do you mean, why have you even got those clothes if you hate them? You know, But there is no question that these things are so connected, and that fashion world, particularly the high fashion world, they say we like to imagine that they've made a lot of progress on that in the ten years. But I don't think in Anna Wintour's world that progress.

Speaker 4: I'm just not talking about it as much. I think that's what it is.

Speaker 2: I remember it still sticks with me.

Speaker 3: Now.

Speaker 2: Remember when Kim Kardashian went on a red carpet wearing a It was kind of like a high neck dress. There's a lot of fabric, and she was very, very pregnant.

Speaker 1: I was working gossip mags and I'm not proud of this at all, but everybody says she looked like a couch. I think we printed that. I think we took the piss out of that overtly, and she was trying very hard to be high.

Speaker 2: Fashion exactly and I think about that all the time. As a pregnant person. I'm like, I the idea of being mocked and being so embarrassed because you're like, I didn't choose for my body to grow, Like, like it just grows in the direction and grows when you're pregnant, and it can grow in weird direction. And to be totally honest, this this move now, and I'm sure people have the total opposite perspective to me, But the move now of people having really cool maternity, you know, people make it look really really cool and sexy, having a bump like the Sienna Millers of the world with their like little top that will open and it looks really sexy. I'm like, God, you can't even be pregnant and be able to give up for just a few months.

Speaker 1: No, we're not allowed hot at all times. Okay, I just need to ask, right, Because as we said, this mat Gala has got this political weight to it. I feel like for the last few years it has, and there's been a sort of oh but it's fun and we all need the distraction. Are we going to be looking at that red carpet tomorrow? Because I know I will, Yeah, I will. I will I will.

Speaker 3: Yeah, I will too, And I think that why I will be looking is because fashion is fun. It should be fun, it should be something that we enjoy looking at. And I love how Lena ties up her piece because it's not a hopeless piece.

Speaker 4: She ultimately concludes.

Speaker 3: By saying, what I realize now is I was making choices that maybe made people feel uncomfortable, whether it was because I was wearing clothes that that type of body should not have been wearing, for instance, or she was wearing clothes that weren't regarded as as exactly mattering me. She talks about how she spoke to a very well known fashion critic about this sort of debate recently, and the fashion critics said to her, you just have a point of view that's called taste. And I love the idea that just because you're wearing something that might not be universally regarded as flattering or fashionable, you can still have a point of view about it. And I guess that's ideally what these kind of red carpet events are meant to showcase is a unique point of view.

Speaker 4: So yeah, I'll be watching.

Speaker 1: We will rope in our absolute fashion expert May who used to love the met Gala. As she said, people take more risks there than they do when they're you know, at the Oscars or whatever, because it is the whole point of it is to be quite bad shit. So we will be doing a met Gala wrap up for subscribers tomorrow afternoon, and I'm sure that Maya will have many thoughts. That's all we've got time for this Monday. I hope everybody's week starts well. We will be back in your ears tomorrow for subscribers, and the three of us will be here on Wednesday. Thank you to our team. We'll see you then, Bye bye.

Speaker 2: Mummy acknowledges the traditional owners of the land on which we have recorded this podcast.

It’s a public holiday Monday for some, but because we love you, we’re not leaving you high and dry. We’ve picked a conversation straight from the Outlouders Facebook group that had everyone unpacking their own family dynamics: the dreaded – or in some cases beloved – family group chat.

Holly, Clare and Em are diving into a dilemma from an Outlouder who has implemented a ‘new regime’ called The Sunday Roast. The rules? Every Sunday, every family member must text their weekly highs and lows along with three photos. No explanations needed, but follow-up questions are mandatory.

So, is this a beautiful way to keep the family connected, or an administrative nightmare that makes you want to tap out?

Plus, we have some bonus reccos and things we can't stop thinking about including micro-holidays, ‘Monthly 10s’ by Julianna Salguero and Nagi’s Miso Eggplant recipe. You’re welcome.

It took the deliciously unhinged creative genius of Miranda July to invent a dating questionnaire that asks the questions no one else is brave enough to ask. Forget your height or if you like 'long walks on the beach'; Em is looking at the prompts that actually reveal your soul, like a photo of your bookshelves, your messy bed, or a screenshot of your ex describing you via text. So, what would you ask, to really get to know someone? And is the secret to finding love just showing someone the inside of your fridge?

There’s a name for that 'meh' feeling you have after a day at work: Office air. Thanks to a smart TikTok creator, Clare has finally figured out why we all look like 'sick Victorian children' by the time the clock strikes five.

Meanwhile, Nicole Kidman is currently on a promo circuit, but she isn't talking about her latest film. Instead, she’s opening up about her desire to become a death doula after the devastating loss of her mother. So Holly’s asking: What is a death doula? Why don’t work and caring and basically, life, stop for you to deal with losing a loved one? And how do we get better at understanding that the loss of a parent - even at an age deemed ‘appropriate’ - is often completely unmooring.

And finally, according to Vogue, nobody’s getting their nails done any more.

First, a rundown of the scurrilous gossip you missed while you were actually working: Sydney Sweeney’s cameo’s been cut from The Devil Wears Prada 2, Harry Styles is either engaged or ring-baiting us and Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton have hard-launched with a pap-frolic.

In other business, why is Reese Witherspoon suddenly telling all her followers to use AI? Is this a genuine attempt to close the gender tech-gap, or is Reese just the friendliest face the robots could recruit to crack Gen X?

In other business, we might be witnessing the most effective character-assassination comeback in history. While Lily Allen is currently touring an album that provides a literal receipt-by-receipt rundown of her marriage breakdown — complete with props explaining David Harbour’s alleged infidelity — her ex is busy being the most lovable man on TV in DTF St. Louis. Holly asks if playing someone lovable is the best way to rehabilitate an actor’s bad reputation? Let’s ask Noah Wyle and Adam Driver.

What can one of the world’s richest women (by marriage) tell us about happiness? No, please don’t throw your phone, Clare’s all ears for Lauren Sanchez Bezos’s gratitude tips.

And finally, we need to talk about the absolute tailspin that occurs when a Gen Z coworker compliments an older coworker’s outfit. Is it genuine praise, or a calculated power move? Amelia’s diving into millennial fashion anxiety and why a simple 'I love your jeans' can feel like a personal attack.

Madonna crashed Sabrina Carpenter’s Coachella stage and it took the crowd a minute to realise they were in the presence of an(other) icon. Luckily, Madge had a bonus skill up her sleeve: An astrology lecture about Taurus season.

Holly Wainwright brings a few little nuggets that slipped out of Meghan Duchess’s fancy Sydney event on the weekend, including a new theme song.

Also, Kardashian whisperer and multi-millionaire businesswoman Emma Grede says remote work is a 'career killer' for women. She reckons if you aren’t seen, you aren’t getting promoted. Is flexibility actually costing women their next big move, or allowing women to do their dream jobs in the first place? Amelia Lester has a story about the presentee boss from hell.

In other business, we’re diving into the dark world of 'looksmaxxing' after an influencer’s viral breakdown. From 'bone-smashing' to dangerous supplements, why are young men falling for a happiness formula that clearly isn't working?

And the debate that won't die: Should teachers be banned from social media? Over the weekend a viral post asking whether educators should also be influencers has taken over Clare Stephens's algorithm.

Is having a crush the secret to a happy relationship, or the gateway drug to a ruinous affair? We can’t agree. Meanwhile, comedian Nikki Glaser says that sexual cheating is a turn-on and emotional cheating is a no-no. Who’s right, who’s deluded, and who should just be single, according to Emily Vernem?

Plus, enthusiasm for hobbies is at an-all time high, but why does it feel like men get all the good ones, while women get the leftovers of leisure? Holly Wainwright talks about her life-changing gardening habit, but acknowledges it’s first to go when life gets busy. So what’s an untouchable 'Sovereign Hobby', and how do we get one?

And, there is an unofficial list of things women do to look like they have their shit together, and it involves everything from keeping whites white, to having enough coathangers, to knowing what stock is. Clare Stephens just wishes she could remember the snacks.

TV RECCOS SPECIAL

  • Clare’s watching: DTF St. Louis on HBO Max. A dark, nonlinear comedy about a love triangle, a dating app for married people, and David Harbour being incredibly likable.
  • Holly’s watching: Riot Women on SBS. Created by Happy Valley’s Sally Wainwright, it’s a brilliant look at five middle-aged women who decide to form a punk band.
  • Em’s watching: Margo’s Got Money Troubles on Apple TV. Starring Elle Fanning, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Nick Offerman, it’s the story of a college dropout navigating new motherhood and mounting bills.

So the ‘royal tour that isn’t’ is in full swing and we have an insider call from Melbourne. Our friend Amy Clark was hanging out with Harry at a men's mental health event this morning, and tells us everything, including which Australian celebrities upstaged the Duke/Prince. But as Harry and Meghan’s itinerary unfurls, Holly Wainwright asks: Is it ballsy or cheeky to be pulling off exactly the kind of tour once reserved for active, working royals?

Plus, as Susan Coyle becomes Australia’s first female Army Chief, the celebrations are almost being drowned out by the sexist trolling. The swampy internet discourse feels gutting for every woman who has ever worked her way to the top only to be met with a chorus of 'DEI hire'. Amelia Lester is unpacking: Should women just ignore the trolling these wins attract, or does that leave us living in a fake reality?

And, 'hey, girl'. Clare Stephens has researched to PhD level the 'Alex vs. Alix' podcast feud. We’ve got Alex Cooper (the Call Her Daddy mogul) and Alix Earle (the Hot Mess creator) throwing passive-aggressive shade over TikTok about 'fake drama' and 'rock bottom' content. Is it a manufactured publicity stunt for an upcoming interview? Or is there genuine jealousy over a Super Bowl commercial and (gosh) Adam Sandler cameos?

Meanwhile, over in Scurrilous Gossip, JLo is reportedly hooking up with Ted Lasso’s Roy Kent (aka Brett Goldstein), and we are invested. Apparently, he's the 'best kisser' she’s ever worked with, which is quite the claim. But is it real?

It’s Harry and Meghan week in Australia, and we’re hoping for some big news in Jam World. A lot has changed since the last time they were here and Clare Stephens waited outside the Opera House to touch Prince Harry’s hand. So what can we expect from the royal-not-royal tour?

Bieberchella has broken the internet and healed a lot of Millennial hearts. Between a $10 million pay check and a setlist that involved Justin dueting with his childhood self, Em Vernem is asking: Is this a profound moment of healing, or just a very expensive therapy session we were all forced to watch?

In other business, Melania Trump decided that this chaotic moment in world affairs was the right moment to make an unprompted address about her "friendship" with Jeffrey Epstein.

And Lena Dunham is releasing a memoir reflecting on fast fame. Her honesty about what peak spotlight did to her coupled with one of the world’s most profitable writers finally revealing her identity, Holly Wainwright is asking: If you could make the art and the money without the fame, why on earth would you choose to be known?

Oh, and as the Federal Government launches a campaign telling us all to do our bit for a potential fuel crisis, are you guilty of pantry-maxxing?

You click on a link on your partner’s computer and all their unspoken doubts unspool: You have too many cats. You’re ‘fragile’. And then there’s that 'attraction problem'. This is what happened in the viral story we’re unpacking from writer Lindsey Hall about reading her boyfriend’s ChatGPT thread. So, asks Clare, who betrayed who here? And what would you have done?

Also, is having a 'Signature' everything — from a drink to a restaurant to a gift to an outfit — a genius life hack, or just an excuse for us lazy girls?"

Plus, science has apparently discovered the exact dance moves that make a man 'sexy' to women, and Hamish & Andy have been putting it to the test. While an avatar might have the moves, Holly insists no man is actually a good dancer unless he’s Harry Styles or Bad Bunny.

And, Em tells us about the lipstick we’re all meant to be wearing right now, and, crucially, where we should put it.

Will it be on June 13? Are the people already camping out at a particular Rhode Island resort? Will we even SEE any photos, or will they do a Tom-and-Zendaya? Yes, the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce wedding frenzy is building and Clare Stephens is sifting through the data to decide whether anyone, at all, knows what they’re talking about.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump is back to saying things that make us want to hide under our beds, but Amelia Lester’s found the perfect antidote to the chaos: 'Competency porn'. Whether it's the awe-inducing precision of the Artemis II astronauts or a nurse who is really, really good at their job, there is nothing more comforting right now than watching someone be genuinely competent at what they do. We’re asking: When the world feels like a dumpster fire, is watching collective brilliance the way to stay sane?

Also, Succession star Brian Cox spent his weekend unloading some very unfiltered (and very unflattering) opinions on everyone from Margot Robbie to Johnny Depp. Holly Wainwright noticed that while Brian is being celebrated for his 'tell-it-like-it-is' attitude, women just… don’t do it.

In other business, we're diving into the 'chicken ick'. That sudden, soul-crushing moment where you can no longer look at a poultry breast without gagging.

And finally, Savannah Guthrie, an unimaginable loss and the quiet bravery of going back to work.

Outlouders. Since today isn't a regular kind of Monday, we’re dropping a little treat into your feed. Remember our 'Entirely Random List of Things We Deem Offensive'? Well, you loved it so much that we simply had to do part two.

Before Jessie Stephens headed off to have her twins, she sat down with Holly Wainwright and Claire Murphy to air out a fresh batch of petty grievances and 'no-justification-needed' things we find offensive.

From people who load their groceries onto the conveyor belt prematurely to aggressively long acrylic nails and GPS directions that tell you to 'head northeast', we are officially offended.

Plus, Jessie draws a line in the sand about 'fish that doesn't taste fishy' and Holly unpacks the one hill she will die on: avocado should never, ever be hot.

Join the conversation in the Outlouders Facebook group and let us know the one specific thing that you find just plain rude.

Yes, it’s Good Friday but we’re being bad and bringing you a show anyway. First point of business is Clare Stephens’ elitist Easter egg power ranking Do you agree with her controversial Number One?

Plus, we’re deep-diving into the Enneagram personality type obsession currently ruining our lives. It seems every A-lister and podcaster is sharing their 'number', so hold our beer. Holly is grumpy about being a 'Peacemaker' 9, Clare is proudly an 'Investigator' 5, and Emily Vernem is a Type 3 Achiever — which apparently means she’s one bad day away from becoming a psychopath. But are Enneagrams just star signs for the self-optimisation era?

Also, Em has a very strict list of things you must never do in the hour before a date (hint: checking social media is a dopamine-killing trap). From 'gambling with dairy' to the peril of last-minute eyebrow tints, we’re sharing chaotic pre-date disasters.

And, we’re asking the very important question: What would you queue for?

Recommendations

Em recommends Young Sherlock on Prime Video.

Clare recommends The Gambler: A Vince Reid PI Thriller by J.P. Pomare.

Holly recommends The Nocturnals by Frances Whiting.

An Instagram post asked working mothers for their tips on juggling, and the comments section rebelled. Which is proof that in the last week of a school term, with the holiday/work pressure building, we are not in the mood for helpful hacks, we are in the mood for burning the whole thing down. So, how and why and when did the 'how do you do it all?' bubble burst?

Plus, Amelia Lester is here to help us pick through the chaos of Washington for anything that looks like a golden glimmer in a pile of poo. And some of the optimism is coming from some very unexpected corners. So, we’re unpacking: what happens when the 'worst person you know' actually makes a great point?

And in other business, butter. Just lots and lots of it. From 'butter-dipped' soft serves at the Royal Easter Show to parents on TikTok feeding their kids whole sticks of the stuff for 'brain fuel', it’s being hailed as the new superfood. So, is butter the new avocado?

Oh, and, the clitoris has finally been mapped, but will that make it any easier for some to find? And Kris Jenner is the latest manifesting good luck symbol for an ambitious generation. Yup. You read that right.

Zendaya and Robert Pattinson are on a press tour, and the Internet’s calling them ‘classy’ because they’re not pretending to be in lust. Instead, they’re giving each other high-fives like they’re at a corporate seminar. Have we just witnessed the death of the 'fauxmance'?

Plus, in the US, a 20-year-old woman has won a landmark case against YouTube and Meta. She accused the tech billionaires of 'engineering addiction' and ruining her childhood in the process. Their punishment is negligible, so why is this moment being called social media’s ‘Big Tobacco’ moment? And is it a reason for Australia to feel smug about our child social media ban?

In other business, a new biography of Queen Elizabeth II is shattering the 'cuddly grandma' illusion. Why are we so obsessed with minimising the most powerful women in history into just 'nice old ladies'?

Also, anyone want to go to the Evil Ex-Situationship Boxing Rave? Welcome to the particular hell of organised fun.

And Emily, Holly, and Clare discuss the Boomer Hospital reveal. Otherwise known as why your mum waits until five minutes into the phone call to tell you dad’s in the ER.

We’re following The Washington Post and asking the question Clare Stephens has been quietly pondering for a while: Are boomers the real iPad babies?

Plus, it’s been celebrity facelift week on social media and it’s unclear if actress Denise Richards is being celebrated as a person or an old church in the spon-con post telling us about her “restoration”. Holly wants to know if being open about your facelift is the new vulnerability, or are we just applauding the erasure of a life well-lived?

And, if you’re tired of the "How are you?" and "What are you doing?" cycle of boring small talk, Em has some very specific (and slightly unhinged) alternatives. From questioning how many pigeons it would take in your house before you suspected a conspiracy, to identifying which kitchen utensil you feel most connected to, the woman has you covered.

It’s all anyone’s talking about: petrol. How much it’s costing, how much there is to go around and how much worse are things going to get? Is the panic caused by this consequence of war in the Middle East warranted, considering the humanitarian crisis unfolding at the same time? And how do we keep our cool, particularly those of us in regional areas where public transport is a myth?

Plus, Sarah Ferguson has been caught up in a controversy that is, frankly, bizarre even for the royals: she’s been approached to clone and sell Queen Elizabeth's corgis for a reality TV show. Is cloning the late Queen’s pets the ultimate side hustle or a bridge too far?

In other business, noughties fashion icon Rachel Zoe is back in the algorithm, and she’s hard launching her 'divorce era' on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Is the 'Hot Divorcee' trope actually the most empowering thing on TV right now?

And, we remember Married At First Sight expert Mel Schilling, who has passed away at 54. Her 'Why Not?' attitude and her work raising awareness of colon cancer is a legacy we’re holding close today. As Mel was passionate about telling busy women: If something doesn't feel right, please, get it checked out.

Question: Why was the latest season of The Bachelorette US cancelled days before release, costing more than US$30 million? Well, it’s got something to do with stunt casting and a very disturbing video leak…

Also, millennial feminist icon Lindy West has written a memoir about being in a happily married throuple. The problem is, the Internet has seen her unvarnished honesty and unilaterally decided her book is a lie. Does West protest too much? Or do we have a problem believing a woman could ever be happy beyond the white picket fence?

Plus, nap times, little lunch and a giant TV on wheels. Things we miss from primary school that should definitely be part of the workplace, pls.

And, Chappell Roan and Coldplay kiss-cam star Kristin Cabot have some facts for us about public shaming.

Oh, and how about those Matildas? The lessons we can only learn from (almost) winning.

Your 'difficult' friends aren't just annoying; they are literally bad for your health. No big deal but it’s official: 'Hasslers' who create drama also accelerate your ‘biological decay’. Is it time to prune the friend tree for the sake of your longevity?

Plus, Belle Burden’s divorce memoir Strangers has the internet asking if telling your 'emotional truth' is just a fancy term for fibbing. With inconsistencies surfacing, Clare wonders if we even care about facts if the story is good, while Em insists that if you’re selling your life story, the least you can do is tell the truth. So, who owns your story and… does the truth even matter any more?

Meanwhile, in other business, Em presents an 'unhinged' list of rules that states men shouldn't drink matcha and women shouldn't know movie directors' names. Yes, it appears we’re all living in her Mojo Dojo Casa House now.

Oh, and, in breaking news, we’ve all been saying 'Chupa Chups' wrong.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Clare recommends Australian Story: Raising Richard — the moving story of a mother who’s been caring for her son for over 30 years.

Holly recommend Tarte Shape Tape peach corrector for undereye dark circles.

Em recommends Project Hail Mary — a "science-y" space flick starring Ryan Gosling.

Celebrity gossip lip-readers have changed the game. Because of them we know Timothée Chalamet hated the Oscars, King Charles says F and Prince William had no time for 'Andrew’s' apology. So is that ‘zero privacy’ development fair play? And what DID Timmy say to his sister about Kylie Jenner?

In other scurrilous gossip, we’re meant to think that Nicole Kidman has a new friends-to-lovers boyfriend, and that Keith Urban is 'reeling'. Hmmm.

Plus, peptides are the new cottage cheese, in demand from both older women and teenage boys. Except, unregulated, they can be rather more dangerous than a protein-heavy snack. So what the hell is a peptide, and how worried should we be about influencers spruiking them? (Hint: Very)

'Our' Queen Mary is touring Australia and once upon a time, that would have guaranteed tabloid mayhem. These days everything is… quieter. Is that because a midlife Queen is less enticing to the attention economy than the Carrie-esque lure of the princess fairytale?

Plus, Ethan Hawke has the best advice for those suffering from unrequited love. Yes, some ageing Gen X heartthrobs are still the real deal.

It’s Oscars Day, aka Christmas for people who like celebrity gossip and frocks. Holly Wainwright, Clare Stephens and Amelia Lester have a chaotic recap for you, including whether Leo stole Pedro’s moustache, the jokes that landed and the ones that flopped, and why justice was served in the Best Actor face-off.

Plus, Louis Theroux has gone Inside the Manosphere for a new Netflix documentary, and there’s a lot to unpack. Are these men dangerous, or just shoddy salesmen looking for a mark? And while we’re at it, is Louis a little outplayed in the 'everything is content' era?

And, are you a 'reply only' friend? We’re looking at the friendship dynamic where one person does all the heavy lifting while the other just reacts to the blue bubbles. Is it a problem if you’re the one who replies, but never reaches out?

In other business, there is a literal culture war bubbling over whether being on The Pill decides which movie star you fancy. Elon Musk thinks it’s science, but we have some actual data (and common sense) to throw at that theory.

The Oscars is two days away, and while experts predict with data, Mamamia Out Loud predicts with vibes. From naked afterparty guests to the high-stakes battle between Michael B. Jordan and Timothée Chalamet, Holly Wainwright, Clare Stephens, and Em Vernem are placing their bets and asking an important industry question - will Lewis Hamilton use this as a moment for a Kim K hard launch?

Plus, the "boyboss" era is over and crying at work is officially encouraged, which is lucky. Emily shares her first Mamamia cry while Holly would still rather die than leak from the eyes. Is crying now a valid form of corporate communication, or just a sign that your workplace is the problem?

Also, are you treating your morning like an “Opening Shift”? The theory leans into a morning that’s all about setting up for the day. Em’s into it, with her early-morning doomscroll and home-brewed coffee under her belt. Clare has a toddler, so her morning’s are… enough said, and Holly has left that chaos era behind. But the question remains - is the snooze button your friend or your enemy?

Plus, the allure of the bald man and the happiest place on the Internet that celebrates them. And… recommendations:

Em recommends How to get to heaven from Belfast on Netflix.

Clare recommends The Death of Us by Abigail Dean

Holly recommends Harry Styles. One night in Manchester on Netflix.

Outlouders, your usual Friday dose of Mamamia Out Loud will drop this afternoon but for now, here's a lil' treat from us to you. Enjoy.

She’s 10 days on. She’s splitting her time and her heart between home and hospital, and she wants to share her story with you, Outlouders.

Our beloved co-host Jessie Stephens gave birth to her boy-girl twins last week, earlier than hoped, and became a mum all over again. There will be so many of you who’ll relate to this story of terror-tinged joy, who will recognise the awe and exhaustion in Jessie’s voice, and who will want to send her so much love as she and her little family find their way through a new normal.

Jessie’s rock, her twin sister Clare Stephens as well as Emily Vernem and Holly Wainwright are asking the questions:. How much time did she get “off” before the babies came? What was the first thing that happened when they did? How is Luna? How is Luca? Can she finally eat chocolate again? And how is she staying sane and hopeful? A very special episode.

This morning we got a great example of a sensitive, complicated pregnancy announcement in a surprising place. Today Show host Sarah Abo and her offsider, one Karl Stefanovic, shared stories of miscarriage and fertility struggles that you just would not have heard on mainstream morning telly a few years back. So we’re unpacking the politics of public pregnancy news in 2026.

Plus, Gwyneth Paltrow is selling her stuff and we want to bid. Meghan Markle is coming to do a fancy retreat in Australia and we want to go. And Kyle Sandilands says he did nothing wrong and we want to know what’s really going on over at ARN.

And, Gen Z men are more likely to believe a wife should "obey" her husband than their fathers ever were. It’s a grim stat, but Amelia, Holly and Clare have some suggestions about how to make equal partnerships more appealing to young men, including something called “choreplay”.

Plus, the world’s most popular p*rn site has officially blocked Australia. Of course, just like the men in your life, none of us would know anything about that.

Also, we have an update on the seven Iranian soccer players granted asylum on our shores.

The Iranian women’s team has been in Australia playing in the AFC Asian Cup and displaying extraordinary bravery in the face of significant pressure from their home country’s regime. Why have they been criticised and what might happen next?

Plus, the Kyle and Jackie O “divorce” has entered its ‘it’s complicated’ era, and Jackie is finally setting the record straight on those quitting stories. There are reports her next gig might have something to do with Meghan Markle, with the Duchess heading to Sydney for some high-profile speaking gigs which are definitely not a royal tour. But hold on, last time Meghan was here, didn’t she hate it?

In other business, Daryl Hannah is calling out the "crazy ex-girlfriend" trope in the new JFK Jr. series, Love Story, and it’s making us rethink our weekend binge-watch. And David and Victoria Beckham are posting "earnest" birthday tributes to Brooklyn, completely ignoring his legal threats to leave him blocked. Is this a sweet parental olive branch, or does someone need to confiscate Vicky’s phone?

And Timothée Chalamet might have just lost himself an Oscar and it’s Harry Styles week all over the world. It’s unlikely those things are related but you never do know.

Mascara is over. Yes, it’s joined side parts as beauty cringe, according to the ghost lashes trend that Em Vernem has embraced. We’re unpacking: Are bare eyes cool or do they leave some of us looking like 'elderly babies'?

Plus, the fear of public speaking has morphed into something else: the fear of speaking in public, full stop. So why is small talk dying, and does it matter? We’re asking: Is a quick chat about the weather actually the secret to a happier life?

And, meet the internet’s new favorite literal girlboss — a 13-year-old skincare CEO who edits her COO mom’s 'cringe' captions. While Em feels like a failure by comparison, Holly Wainwright is fascinated by the 'corporatisation of kids' and brand-building curriculums. But is it smart? In an AI world, has 'building a business' become more important than actually knowing things?

In other business, Clare Stephens wants to know why the word 'matrescence' isn't in the dictionary yet?

And, of course, recommendations:

Holly recommends The Walkers podcast by Tortoise Media & The Observer — a wild investigation into the author of The Salt Path.

Emily recommends the book Half His Age by Jennette McCurdy.

Clare recommends Hometown Boys, a six-part investigative podcast from ABC’s Background Briefing.

Australia’s most profitable partnership is over. Kyle and Jackie O, commercial radio’s ratings juggernaut for 25 years now, have officially imploded, apparently over an on-air clash about… astrology.

Plus, Jim Carrey is in Paris looking different and people are convinced he’s been replaced by a sophisticated clone. Which is interesting, because when female movie stars ‘look different’, we just call them sad.

And, if you’ve ever been called "too much," a Harvard psychologist wants you to know that oversharing is actually your secret career superpower. Apparently, telling your colleagues about your therapy appointments or your colonoscopy makes you 85% more likable. So, when is "painful transparency" a shortcut to intimacy, and when is it a very awkward HR meeting?

As the conflict in Iran widens, why are we seeing headlines about influencers stranded in Dubai? Among the many people stranded in the “Influencer Capital of the World”, content creators are finding themselves citizen journalists in a territory targeted by missiles.

America and Israel have launched an attack on Iran, and while the world watches the fallout of "Epic Fury," we’re looking at what comes next. Our Amelia Lester, also an editor at Foreign Policy, is here to explain why the US acted without Congress, why Australia is one of the few Western voices in support, and whether this is the kind of international meddling Donald Trump promised to avoid?

Plus, Carolyn Bessette and JFK Jnr’s Love Story has triggered a wave of nostalgia for those who lived through the 90s, and 'fauxstalgia' for those who like to imagine a world that didn't involve an endless scroll. Clare Stephens wants to know what life was like when we lived with two hands, and not with one constantly on our phones.

And, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie have been snubbed, finding themselves uninvited from a major royal event. So are they being punished for the sins of their parents, or, Holly Wainwright wants to know, is this the beginning of William’s royal trim down?

Also, we’ve got the definitive list of songs NOT to listen to when you’re driving.

And… Bad Bunny, Harry Styles and the ridiculous joy of watching men dance.

It’s the season to blame Tyra. Netflix’s new America’s Next Top Model doco has us spiraling back to 2003. It shows us the size-zero era through a 2026 lens, when Tyra Banks was breaking barriers while also showcasing some of the show's seriously batshit behaviour —from models posing as murder victims to 'makeovers' that involved pulling teeth. Now we’re in the MAFS era Clare Stephens wants to know: is every generation’s reality TV show of choice just programmed to prompt outrage?

Also, today is Jessie’s last day before she goes off on maternity leave. But not before a chaotic handover to her twin, Clare. As Clare prepares to take the seat, she’s re-learning the 'rules' of being an Out Loud host.

In other business, does your personality need a mini-makeover of its own? We’re talking 'micro-reinvention' — not big deals like quitting your job; more small shifts like adopting a signature condiment or finally becoming a 'Pilates person'. Holly, for instance, is wearing brown. Big deal. Huge.

Recommendations

Clare recommends the "Brick"—a physical device that locks you out of your apps to fight phone addiction.

Jessie recommends L’Occitane Osmanthus Abricot shower gel or DedCool Taunt Hand and Body Wash for the ultimate vibe shift.

Holly recommends Eric Dane: Famous Last Words on Netflix—a raw interview with a man who has nothing left to lose.

Today, if you’re an Australian with even a drop of British or Irish blood, Amelia has a warning that might cost you hundreds of dollars.

And, is it okay for celebrities to ask us for money? After the deaths of millennial TV icons James Van Der Beek and Eric Dane, their families have started GoFundMe campaigns — and not everyone’s happy about it. Holly, Jessie, and Amelia have very different takes on whether it’s okay to solicit for donations when you live on a multi-million dollar ranch.

Also, the new Married At First Sight villain,Tyson has landed. Jessie thinks his quest for a 'submissive' woman and his 'manosphere' vibes reflect what women are dealing with out in the dating world. While Holly‘s pearls are clutched about the podcast he’s doubtless going to start when he leaves the show. So, ‘should’ this man be on primetime TV?

Plus, a listener dilemma we can’t stop talking about. Vanessa is overwhelmed, over-worked, and considering quitting her job because her husband’s 'big career' has left her doing 100 percent of the heavy-lifting at home. Jessie says "life is long, just quit," while Holly is asking: if every woman is making the 'choice' to scale back, is it actually a choice at all?

Plus, we deep dive into PHAARC — the probably not real (but very relatable) 'medical' condition currently ruining your work life.

Prince William is carrying on, but he’s not calm about it. He and Princess Kate are at the BAFTAs today, but people are only yelling at them about his uncle Prince Andrew's arrest. Holly Wainwright’s question is: Might ‘complicit’ King Charles take the fall for his brother, and hand his sh*t skirt to William?

Plus, "burnout feminism" is the name given to a 2020s shift that’s seeing women leaning out, quitting their jobs and embracing the pleasure of giving up. So, Jessie Stephens wants to know: After a very brief period of celebration, is female ambition just a bit cringe now?

And the viral clip of Channel 9 reporter Danika Mason a lil’ bit drunk on-air at the Winter Games is only a fragment of the story. Was a full apology necessary to save a career, or is being "proper Danika’d" just the most relatable thing to happen on TV this year?

Oh, and in other business, bar soap is apparently dying and Amelia Lester is not happy about it.

It’s Friday, and it’s a news-free zone. Breathe out, friends, and let’s kick off with a splash of skincare nepotism — Gwyneth Paltrow’s daughter Apple is sharing how Mum asked all her “Goopy” friends to help fix her teenage acne and honestly, haven’t we all?

Also, iconic magazine editor Anna Wintour just sat down with her successor, Vogue Content Director Chloe Malle, and served up a deeply awkward masterclass in 'Boomer vs. Millennial' work ethic clash. So, who wants to pay everyone 30 per cent more?

Is it ever okay to mention your food intolerance on a first date? What about your ex? What about your mother? And who the hell does pay, in 2026? The New York Times has dropped a new set of 'Dating Rules'. Some are genius, some are unhinged, and yes, we have thoughts.

And finally, we tackle a domestic mystery as old as time: Are you a box-flattener or are you... normal?

Plus, recommendations. Jessie Stephens has a very helpful robot for you. Clare Stephens wants to help you unlock creativity (it's a new year, fire horses) and Holly Wainwright wants to show you her new pants.

SUBSCRIBE here: Support independent women's media

Recommendations

Clare recommends The Writer's Studio which offerscourses for aspiring writers.

Holly recommends the jersey barrel leg pants from Uniqlo

In a turn of events, Jessie is recommending Chat GPT (we're shocked too) for anybody who needs some design help when moving house.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been arrested in the UK on his 66th birthday on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The former prince is the first senior British royal in modern history to be detained by police.

How did it happen? Why did it happen? And what does King Charles have to say about it?

On this extraordinary day for the Monarchy, we cross to Out Loud Royal Correspondent, Holly Wainwright for an Emergency Meeting.

If Barack Obama says there are aliens, then there are aliens. While the former President is busy clarifying that he didn't actually see any ETs in the Oval Office, Jessie Stephens has a theory: Is men’s obsession with outer space just a symptom of not having enough mental load?

Plus, the political "pub test" is officially dead, and the "algorithm test" has moved in and made itself comfortable. We’re looking at why the Internet is both the world’s best fact-checker and its most dangerous bias-confirmer. And Holly Wainwright is asking, what IS the actual pub test in 2026?

And because we clearly haven't done enough critical thinking, we’re wading into the chaos of Married At First Sight. Jessie, of course, is an expert in the field, and she’s bringing several philosophical questions from the new season, starting with: Can you ever come back from a sexual chemistry deficit?

In other business, apparently, humans "fall off a cliff" at age 44, which is sending Amelia Lester into a spiral. Happily, there’s a pick-me-up coming: Hollywood A-listers are signalling that side-parts are back. What’s next? Skinny jeans and ballet flats? Oh.

Did Australian politics just take a little topple off a glass cliff, or is the ‘rolling’ of Liberal leader Sussan Ley much more complicated than that? We’ve got the TLDR.

And, Wuthering Heights is everywhere and so is criticism of just what kind of “greatest love story” it is. A very sexy one, or a downright irresponsible one?

Also, looksmaxxing. What is it? Who’s doing it? And why does it have to involve 17 different tablets every morning and a whole lot of money?

Oh, and a little round up of scurrilous gossip for you. What do Celeste Barber, Ada Nicodemou and the Beckham family all have in common? They’re all trying to navigate some big emotional moments via social media. And look, for the Beckhams, it’s not going well…

Listen to Amelia Lester, Holly Wainwright and Jessie Stephens get into all that and other stuff too, on today’s Mamamia Out Loud.

Outlouders, it’s Friday the 13th and the vibes are… chaotic. From Wuthering Heights to Finger Princesses to The Year of the Fire Horse and our weekly reccos, today's show is A LOT.

We’re about to enter the Year of the Fire Horse and apparently it’s all action, freedom and breakthrough energy. Unless you’re a Pig (sorry, Holly Wainwright). Jessie Stephens and Clare Stephens are claiming this as their zodiac Super Bowl, but there’s a tiny historical footnote involving superstition, falling birth rates and the suggestion Fire Horses are “too wild.” Rude.

And, the robots have taken over your child’s class photo. And no, we're not 'just' talking fixing gappy smiles. Add in AI-cheating uni students, 200-written-in-a-year AI romance novels by one author and its controversial use in true crime documentaries and suddenly we’re asking: are we outsourcing our brains? Or just evolving?

Plus: the petty hills we will absolutely die on. Quiet carriages. TEABAG OUT. No, Coke Zero isn’t fine. Yes, you must wave. The list is long and, at times, unhinged.

And finally… are you a Finger Princess? The friend who asks questions she could very easily Google. We fear it’s us.

Welcome to Friday, friends. It's a vibe.

"Three months ago, I made my biggest mistake and cheated on her..." These were the words that a Norwegian biathlete shared in his live press interview, minutes after winning bronze at the Winter Olympics. So why did Sturla Holm Laegreid choose to tell the world he messed up his chance with "the love of his life" and will his grand gesture to get her back work?

Also, the world can't look away from the devastating true-crime story of the apparent abduction of US TV star Savannah Guthrie's mother Nancy. Today, there's been an announcement that a man has been detained after the release of a nightmarish video, but why has this case captured the world's attention and does that spotlight help, or harm, a real-time investigation?

Plus, Lindsay Vonn is a US ski-racer who should possibly never have started the race that just ended her career. So is her story a triumphant one about resilience, or a cautionary one about ego?

And look, Holly Wainwright, Jessie Stephens and Amelia Lester were not going to leave the studio without a dose of scurrilous gossip: The footballer dumped immediately after they lost the Superbowl; why Kendall Jenner needed hand-holding in the Bad Bunny show; Kim and Lewis and, the couple most likely to infuriate their friends are (maybe) back together. Yes, it's JLO and Ben, 2.5.

It’s Super Bowl Day in the US and while we’re not clear on the result, we do know that Kim Kardashian decided it was date night and Bad Bunny is actually one extremely good bunny. So, why did he inspire other musicians to put on a rival halftime show?

In other business, the 'Coldplay kiss cam' woman is telling her side of the story of the night that changed her life, and Jessie Stephens, Clare Stephens and Holly Wainwright ask: What do you do with the kind of infamy that no-one wants?

And, Recipe Tin Eats’ Nagi Maehashi is mourning the loss of her very good boy, the famous Dozer. Have we learned how to say goodbye to pets properly? And what do we do with that very particular grief?

Plus, Melinda Gates and what you owe a truly terrible ex. And Bianca Censori — Kanye West’s wife — has given a long and winding interview about why she’s ready to put clothes on. Why, though?

Mia Freedman is in full-on producer mode at the moment with the launch of her shiny new project Unleashed. Today, however, she’s back in the hosting chair on Mamamia Out Loud as she spills to Jessie Stephens and Em Vernem what this producer gig malarkey is all about. Outlouders, trust us, you’re going to eat this up.

And, do you matter? Are you essential or just... existing? Mia, Jessie, and Em unpack the 'mattering' movement and why it’s taking over from 'let them'.

Plus, hotel bathrooms. Something’s changed, and it’s making us feel most exposed. The hosts dig into this trend and why some things — even with your partner — are better left private.

Also, Valentine’s Day = loneliest day for singles? Em begs to differ. There’s actually a worse one, and she’s explaining why.

Aaaand did we mention that hair tinsel is back? Naturally, Mia is fully here for it. Welcome to the world of disco hair.

Why did the news about Kim Kardashian’s new boyfriend make Em Vernem cry? The F1 fans of Out Loud have a lot of big feelings about Kim and Lewis Hamilton’s romantic weekend in London and Paris, and the reason is... baffling.

Plus, a former Neighbours star is now a big deal in populist Right politics, globally. Yes, Holly Valance is busy trying to get Pauline Hanson elected, just as she’s trying to get Nigel Farage elected in the UK and threw a massive fundraiser for Trump in 2024. So, is Valance’s One Nation re-record of Kiss Kiss silly, or scary?

And.. Is it always better to be right? Holly Wainwright, Jessie Stephens and Em wrestle with the dichotomy of caring about facts and caring about being an infuriating over-corrector.

Oh, and we found out the truth about Chappell Roan’s nipples. You. Are. Welcome.

If a man breaks up with a 30-something woman who wants a child, is he guilty of more than changing his mind? Inspired by a viral column from the weekend, we explain the phenomena of the ‘fertility vampire’.

Also, you might have seen the disturbing photos of the man once known as Prince Andrew kneeling over a woman. They are just a few of the thousands and thousands of images released in this weekend’s drop from the Epstein Files. So what are they, what else is in there, and what might happen next?

Are Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi “affair baiting” on the press tour for Wuthering Heights? And is that… okay?

Plus, Kim Kardashian has finally told us exactly why Harry and Meghan wanted those pictures taken off their socials and Karl Stefanovic is cutting our grass.

Jessie Stephens, Emily Vernem and Holly Wainwright unpack all that and why an Outlouder has shattered Holly’s family dreams.

You probably should be burping your house: every morning, every evening and whenever you get the urge throughout the day, tbh. Jessie Stephens explains to Emily Vernem and Holly Wainwright why not doing that is… a lil bit gross.

And while we’re hygiene-sharing, Em has a question for the group: How many pairs of underwear do you take if you are going away for a weekend? Holly thought she knew the answer to this question, but she’s definitely wrong.

Also, how many risks are parents allowed to take? We’re talking about Alex Honnold and Sanni McCandless - the man who just climbed a skyscraper with no ropes, net or parachute, and the mother of his little kids who watched him do it. Is it okay to just… carry on regardless with your passions, however isolating or deadly they are, once you have kids?

Plus: Be more “vegan + bacon”. Why that’s not an oxymoron, but a philosophy to live by in 2026.

Oh, and recommendations. Which this week include:

Emily’s underwear edit - including Nala (the sexiest Aussie pants) and many more.

Holly’s enthusiasm for Oscar-nommed Marty Supreme, in cinemas now, and a high-brow discussion about Timothée's bottom.

And Jessie is watching The Pitt, Season Two, on HBO Max.

Urgent addition! Mia’s new baby, a show for Gen X women who want to laugh - Unleashed. Coming next week.

What is happening in Minneapolis and why is it being called a “watershed” moment for Trump’s America? Sorry, Amelia Lester, you are not getting a week off from explaining something distressing happening in the USA. And, while we’re at it, what is with the Melania documentary, and why is it opening in cinemas in Australia this week?

How are you meant to behave when your relationship ends in a very public mess not of your choosing? Hide away and lick your wounds? Spill every ugly detail in 25 Instagram stories? 2026 has other ideas and we have a new playbook for “wronged wife”, thanks to Australian former ’WAG’ Jules Neale.

Also, Amelia, Jessie Stephens and Holly Wainwright consider whether Coco Gauff should have been allowed to have a tennis tantrum in peace. What’s the latest with the Beckham family meltdown and what do leaked celebrity text messages tell us about our own group-chats?

Are you one productivity hack away from finally nailing your life? We’ve got you. In this ‘special little treat’ episode (IT'S A DOUBLE EP, OUTLOUDERS 💃) Amelia Lester, Jessie Stephens, and Claire Murphy dive deep into the doable productivity hacks that might actually transform your working life - from the mental clarity of 'hard pants' to why Taylor Swift treats her energy like a luxury item.

Then, keep your listening ears turned on for the next part of this banger of a double EP as Em Vernem joins Claire and Jessie to carry on the conversation. Our trio bring you the delightfully unhinged content you didn’t know you needed by dissecting the niche social media rabbit holes we go down late at night. From 'Hot Dudes Reading' to 'Girls Carrying Shit' or the oddly soothing world of 'Rate My Spoon' (it’s a thing, promise), we’re celebrating the corners of the internet that keep us scrolling long after we should have been asleep. It’s fun, it’s a little bit weird, and it’s exactly what we’re into. Dive in, Outlouders — your algorithm will thank you.

Outlouders, welcome to the third and final instalment of our Summer Book Club where we’re going out strong. 🔥

Em Vernem, Jessie Stephens and Holly Wainwright dissect Melaleuca by Angie Faye Martin — the Australian debut crime novel we did not see coming and now can’t stop thinking about.

This episode has it all: small-town secrets, outback noir vibes, corrupt cops, missing women, a brilliant Indigenous protagonist, and a twist that genuinely divided the hosts. We talk sense of place, why crime novels are such powerful social mirrors, and yes — the chickens. (You’ll understand.)

⚠️ Full spoilers ahead — this one’s for listeners who’ve read the book and are ready to argue lovingly about pacing, plausibility and that ending.

Plus: why we’re thrilled Angie Faye Martin is writing a sequel and why Renee Taylor is a protagonist we want to follow anywhere.

📚 Outlouders, we know how many of you love these special episodes so... would you like us to keep the MMOL Book Club going? Let us know by emailing outloud@mamamia.com.au.

Heated Rivalry is only the tip of a very sexy ice(hockey)berg. Straight women make up at least 60% of the audience of the booming MM (male to male) queer romance book market. Why? Holly Wainwright, Jessie Stephens and Emily Vernem unpack the theories behind the biggest TV hit of the Summer.

Also, no, you're not imagining it. Every streaming show you watch is talking to you like you're a little bit... dumb. Matt Damon knows why.

And, everyone has a venting friend. Sometimes, everyone is a venting friend. But now, 'venting' has been labelled toxic friendship behaviour. We want to know who we can vent to about that.

Plus, our recommendations. Find them below.

Recommendations

Em recommends Chicago Fire the bingeable TV show that she's currently obsessed with.

Jessie recommends underpants. Yes, treat yourself to an underwear refresh.

Holly recommends the movie Hamnet that was released in cinemas on January 15.

The word "nuzzle" is being used and Victoria Beckham's humiliation is complete. Yes, we have an update on the devastating private family breakdown playing out in the most public of ways. Including: Why was Brooklyn Beckham's name trademarked to his mum? Why are wedding guests posting, and then deleting their recollections of 'that' dance? And what does the 'Atlantic Gap' have to do with all this? It's all here.

Also, there have been four shark attacks in New South Wales in just 48 hours, with devastating repercussions. So, is it time Australia got better and louder about shark education?

And, do you have an age-gap friendship? Amelia Lester, Jessie Stephens and Holly Wainwright discuss an article that argues every 20-something woman needs a 40-something friend. What do both sides of that dynamic get out of those relationships? And why do they confuse everyone?

Plus: The meaning behind Naomi Osaka's "catwalk" moment at the Australian Open.

OH, and if you can't get enough Beckham news, Mia Freedman hosted a subscriber episode for Outlouders, and you can listen to it, here.

JLo has been accused of being rude when she didn't say "Hi" to the Glambot Guy on the red carpet at the Golden Globes last week. We all love stories of snooty celebrities but is this just an extension of telling women to "Smile"?

Our (literal) foreign policy expert Amelia Lester is back and we have questions for her about Greenland. Namely, where is it? Why does Trump want it? And what happens if he gets it?

Also, one of the most listened to men in the world is being accused of 'red-pilling' his audience. But what is that, and has it happened to Steven Bartlett of Diary of a CEO?

Plus, on your Instagram it's 2016. So why are we so attracted to recent nostalgia, and what are the tell-tale signs that a pic was taken the year the whole world lurched towards the flaming bin?

All that and other excellent stuff too on today's Mamamia Out Loud with Holly Wainwright, Jessie Stephens and Amelia Lester.

Could you have guests over without cleaning all the way up? What about turning off the GPS when you're driving? How about not tracking your kids and partner, no matter what?

This year, it's all about friction-maxxing. Learning to live without a few of the conveniences that have become crutches, all in the pursuit of becoming - no big deal - more human. Em is horrified and Jessie is inspired by this essay in The Cut by Kathryn Jezer-Morton.

Also, Holly's favourite Dax Shepard says that he will pay for his daughter to freeze her eggs when she turns 18. Is this genius, generous parenting, or snow-plough dadding in action?

And, is everyone brushing their faces now?

Plus, our recommendations include something glowy for your face, the best coffee pot in the world, and a book Jessie cannot stop thinking about.

Since when did cosy chats about books suck up quite so many headlines? Adelaide Writers' Week is the longest-running literary event in Australia and this week it collapsed under the weight of its own controversy. So, Em asks Holly and Jessie, what are writers' festivals for, anyway?

Jennifer Lawrence re-homed her dogs after she had a baby and Jessie wants to know why nobody warned her that talking about that will ruin her life. And Jessie would know.

When does a situationship become a boy/girlfriend? And when does a boy/girlfriend become a partner? And does anyone (apart from Raye) like the word husband? Thanks to Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner, we have a new commitment ladder for relationships in 2026.

Also, the job choice that can predict your age and stage.

And the new endo test that could change everything for women tired of waiting for an answer about why they're in agony.

Oh, and did Holly just get fleeced by Harry Styles?

It's Golden Globes day and Mia Freedman is joining Holly, Jessie and Em to talk about frocks that landed and jokes that didn't. We're not mad, we'll just wait for our podcast category invite next year.

When a former Disney star decides to put her mothers' group on blast, famous faces included, what could make it worse? Only a defensive Dad entering the chat. Yes, we're unpacking Ashley Tisdale's viral "toxic mums" essay.

Also, the Beckhams' family estrangement gets brutal - thanks to a recipe for roast chicken. Plus an explainer on Trump's Venezuela and why the food pyramid looking upside down is bad news for cows.

Yes, Mamamia Out Loud is back from Summer break and Holly Wainwright, Jessie Stephens and Emily Vernem have a LOT to tell you.

It's January 1 and Outlouders know what that means. For almost a decade, on the first day of every year Mia Freedman, Jessie Stephens and Holly Wainwright have shared the single word that they hope will define the year ahead.

Last year, they picked: Creativity, Nup, and, um, Let Them. But did they live by them? And what about Amelia Lester and Emily Vernem and the wider Outlouder family? It's time to find out, and to pick our words for 2026. Let's just say, some lessons have been learned.

Outlouders, you might hear your words on this special episode. And please, if you don't, run to the Facebook group and tell us what you chose.

It’s the second episode of our Summer Book Club and this time, we’re diving headfirst into Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry.

So then, it was the book that promised joy, mess, meaning and maybe a mild existential spiral — did it deliver? 👀

In this episode, Em V, Jessie and Holly unpack:

  • Why this story hits differently when you read it in summer
  • The characters we wanted to hug… and the ones we wanted to gently shake
  • Big love, big choices and the pressure to live a 'beautiful' life
  • Whether this book is hopeful escapism or a mirror held a little too close
  • And the one question it leaves you asking long after the last page

It’s warm, emotional, occasionally unhinged (in a good way) and exactly the kind of book you want to argue about with friends.

Read it. Feel things. Then come scream about it with us.

Summer Book Club Episode 3 drops on January 25 when we'll be discussing the Melaleuca by Angie Faye Martin.

📚 Outlouders, we know how many of you love these special episodes so... would you like us to keep the MMOL Book Club going? Let us know by emailing outloud@mamamia.com.au.

This is the last 'normal programming' show for 2025, and we're leaning into comfort and joy. We're bringing all our predictions for 2026 including the fate of some celebrity relationships, the details of the most famous woman in the world's wedding dress, and whether or not it will be the Year Of The Unusual Face. We also revisit what we said would happen in 2025. Some of us were more right than others.

Plus, the letter you should absolutely write yourself before the year is out, and recommendations.

There are names we will never forget from the Bondi attacks. On today's show, Jessie, Holly and Amelia want to honour just a few of the many heroes who risked — and in some cases lost — their lives trying to save others in the worst terror attack ever to happen on Australia's soil. And we want to tell you a little bit about what it feels like in Sydney, and at Bondi at the moment.

Not everyone is able to turn their attention elsewhere this week, but for those who can and want to, we're having some other conversations, too. Like, Taylor Swift, Timothee Chalamet and the era of being able to say, "Yeah, I'm pretty good at this" without cringe.

And, the power of gathering. Being together has never felt more urgent, but at whose house, and who's bringing the cake? Even if you hate hosting, it's hard to avoid at this time of year and you know what makes it better? Good guests. We tell you how to be one, and Amelia shares a thank-you note rule that impressed us all.

It's not a usual show today, because it's not a usual day.

At sunset on Sunday, at Australia's most famous beach, Australia experienced the worst act of terrorism ever to take place on our soil. As the local Jewish community celebrated the beginning of Chanukah, families gathered around food, face-painting and even a petting zoo for an 'everyone is welcome' opening to the Festival Of Lights. And two men opened fire.

Some Outlouders will be directly affected by what happened on Sunday. Others will be far removed but asking how this could happen here in Australia, and what they can do to help. Some will just want to talk it over. Today Mia Freedman, Jessie Stephens, Holly Wainwright and Amelia Lester are here to do exactly that.

It's the time of the year when you have to rub up against other people in all kinds of ways. And so obviously Jessie, Holly and Em needed to bring an updated etiquette guide. So, what's a great question, what's a rude one and do you always, always need to give a gift receipt?

And, are you struggling to make a big decision about the new year? Of course you are. We have a new framework to help: Is this a Hat, Haircut or Tattoo problem?

Plus, a dilemma for the ages: Is a straight man cheating if he continually 'likes' another woman’s Instagram posts? Thankfully, a court has cleared this up.

And of course, recommendations: Something to make life easier, something to make yourself smell lovely and something to make the Gen Xers feel smug.

Em recommendsthe Ouai hair and body mist in the scent St Barts

Jessie recommends the Dinner Ladies Christmas dishes

Holly recommends the essay in the New York Times, Is Gen X Actually the Greatest Generation? and creating a lucky dip of loved Christmas movies using an empty jar.

Performers are totally over it, and their end-of-year burnout is highly relatable content. But also, are we, the crowds, worse than we've ever been? This week a 90s rock legend ripped into a concert-goer at a Melbourne show and we want to know — do any of us know how to behave any more?

And, in what seems like very unsurprising news, adult content creator Bonnie Blue has been arrested in Bali. But why did she take her 'bang bus' there in the first place?

Plus, scams. Amelia has a scam story that will make your hair stand on end, Holly says fears of being ripped-off make holiday shopping harder than battling traffic at the carpark and Jessie wonders what living in an era of mass distrust is doing to us all.

Also, Pammy and Liam, Katy and Justin, Kylie and Timmmeeee — we're bringing you the celebrity romance and fauxmance updates not one of us asked for.

Oh, and bananas.

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift never fight. Nor do George and Amal Clooney. Not about work, money, cleaning, travel or whose turn it is to feed the dog (sorry, cats.) An aspirational relationship goal? Or a flashing red flag?

Also, this week the whole world is looking at Australia as our world-first social media delay kicks in on Wednesday, December 10. So, what are we to make of the poll that says only a third of Aussie parents are actually going to enforce the ban that experts are calling "a mothers' revolution"?

Plus, Oprah Winfrey is in Australia and drawing huge crowds with her trademark a-ha moments. So why is Oprah still so interesting to Aussie women in 2025?

And, there's a very relevant Word of The Year, and a very intimidating Colour Of The Year, and Amelia, Jessie and Holly have a theory that they're linked.

Can you change a child's birthday because it's a bit... inconvenient for you? Content creator Indy Clinton wants us to believe she's doing just that with her "Christmas baby" and Sagittarians everywhere have thoughts.

Plus, Sienna Miller is pregnant and in a negligee on the British Fashion Awards this week. At 43, Holly wants to know, is this the quintessential representation of the new era of agelessness?

Also, Pilates is dead, strength training is on its way out and a mobility obsession is on its way in - but, Amelia asks, is scolding people with the "correct" exercise trends really the way to make women move?

And an essay about motherhood ambivalence has Jessie pufferfishing. So, if you're not sure if you want kids, should you do it?

Beer cans with the bride and groom's faces on them, a dress that just HAD to be Aussie, and a dog in a dress... Yes, we're talking about Albo's wedding, and the problem with marrying the Prime Minister.

Also, what does the winner of the TikTok Awards — a dad of four who posts pranks and skits with his kids online — tell us about the different standards for the way men and woman 'sharent'?

And everyone's talking about an Oprah Winfrey show episode, which is extremely 2011, about family estrangement, and the 'contagion' of going 'No Contact' with your family. Only problem is... Are all these boundaries kind of Oprah's fault?

Plus, why Robert Irwin has achieved world domination by being... nice.

It’s hot and everyone’s slightly unhinged, so what better time to kick off the Mamamia Out Loud Summer Book Club than with the only novel bold enough to ask: What if you left your family for a road trip and reinvented yourself... in a motel off the freeway?

In the first of our Summer Book Club episodes, Em, Jessie and Holly dive into Miranda July’s All Fours, a book that is part midlife crisis, part erotic fever dream and part existential stand-up comedy routine.

Em, Jessie and Holly discuss female desire, boredom, creativity and how it’s somehow both deeply relatable and utterly chaotic to want to start afresh on a whim.

If you’ve ever:

  • Sat in your car for an five extra minutes just to avoid your family
  • Fantasised about a new life in a different country
  • Or simply wondered, 'What if?'

Then yes, this episode of Summer Book Club is for you.

Summer Book Club Episode 2 drops December 28 when we'll be discussing the Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry.

📚 Outlouders, we know how many of you love these special episodes so... would you like us to keep the MMOL Book Club going? Let us know by emailing outloud@mamamia.com.au.

Would you partner notice if you 'quiet quit' your relationship? You know, quietly moving into separate bedrooms, watching all your own shows in different rooms of the house at night, never socialising together, taking separate holidays... Plenty of people are doing it, and probably always have. So, is it always a bad thing? And is it possible to un-quit?

Also, Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo and the world's most-irritating press tour. Yes, Wicked For Good is out and you will not have missed the two stars coo-ing over each other on global red carpets. Are they the world's greatest girlfriends, or are they playing us? And when did press tours become performance art?

And... what are high school reunions for? It's long been predicted that social-media-stalking has killed the reunion, but Amelia just went to her 25th and she had a revelation.

Plus, Jessie, Amelia and Holly share the 'plate' they take to BYO social events, and what "some cheese in a plastic bag" says about you.

So, the man who invented "vibe shifts" has announced another one. We're all living through it and it's why you're doing way more lurking and way less posting these days.

And, a new profile of Meghan Duchess (or Duchess Meghan, if you insist) has attracted a whole lot of attention for a very specific social moment. But can the woman just do no right?

Also, leggings are over but are we really exercising in wide-leg pants now? And where does that leave the camel toe? Asking for a friend (Jessie).

She's had her childhood photo used in an "ugly" meme that's all over the Internet. So why isn't host Clare Stephens upset about this dissing of her younger self?

Also: "You called me, you speak first". Does Gen Z really answer the phone with... nothing?

And, just literally do things. That's the message here to challenge the recent cultural domination of the 'overthinking introvert'. In all kinds of areas of your life, is it always better to underthink, jump fast and have a bias to action, like our self-help overlord Mel Robbins? And why is it easier for some people than others?

Plus, Holly's midlife tattoo. Crisis or confidence? And why LinkedIn is cutting Tinder's grass on the matchmaking front.

All this unpacked and shaken upside down by Clare, Emily Vernem and Holly Wainwright on today's Mamamia Out Loud.

Outlouders, is it true? Have Millennials officially killed the affair? And, are they actually more conservative than Gen X or are they just reimagining a more modern picture of what marriage looks like? Amelia and Jessie present a Millennial defence.

Plus, apparently eyelids are... over. So, what other silly things are people saying about women’s faces this week? We unpack the anti-cosmetic surgery essay every woman should read.

And, there's a state funeral going on today that made us wonder — what makes someone qualify for one and should taxpayers be footing the bill?

Also, we have a new skincare trend that's not for the faint of heart and we surprise Jessie for her 10-year work anniversary with Mamamia. And yes, Mia does invade the studio again with a little treat to celebrate. Happy anniversary, Jessie!

Does having an affair make you a bad employee? Asking for a friend. Meet the CEO who fired two employees when she found out they were cheating on their spouses. She says if you can't be trusted at home, you can't be trusted at work. Is she right?

Plus, everyone's talking about the Epstein/Trump emails again and we want Amelia to answer the question: What's all this about Bill Clinton, or maybe a horse?

And, it's only a matter of time before one of your friends starts gushing to you about their new love interest and you find out... they're not human. Please step into the world of AI 'companions', where Clare Stephens is worried that we'll lose sight of our humanity and Holly's wondering if they could take a load off.

Mamamia ran an article about "women who squirt" and the comment section lost its mind. So, why are men so invested? And... do we all have to learn how to do it?

Also, you're getting up earlier and there's a term for it. 'Dawn Culture' is the reason Australian beaches are packed at 6am. So why the rush, everyone?

And, how many weeks have you got left? Why a motivational tip Em stumbled across on her doom-scrolling freaked her out and made Holly almost order some extraordinarily confronting home decor.

Plus, recommendations and Michelle Obama's uncompromising rule about who gets to give parenting advice.

Em recommendsthis Salmon bites recipe from Recipe Tin Eats.

After revealing she failed the bar exam, Kim Kardashian's new legal drama All's Fair has also been panned by critics as the worst TV show to ever exist. So, when you’re one of the most successful women in the world, what does it feel like to fail? And do we all need to embrace the humour in our own ‘flop’ eras?

And, the New York Times asked a very simple question: Did women ruin the workplace? The Internet had a lot of thoughts, and we’re here to dissect them.

Plus, can you be friends with someone who has a very different political view to you? For many young people, the answer is increasingly no. And, with celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence choosing to keep their politics to themselves, we unpack whether revealing your political leaning is becoming a no-go zone.

How do you tell your teenage influencer that their lucrative side-hustle is about to become illegal? On today's show Holly, Jessie and Em discuss the Aussie family of Youtubers who've decided to leave the country to beat the looming social media ban.

Also, in this age of full disclosure, why is there one kind of sex that we absolutely do not talk about? And is that silence a mark of respect, or a doing disservice to long-term relationships?

Plus, what is a Compliment Hour and why do I need a Rage Ritual? Em is sharing some trending life hacks for all of us.

And Jessie has an update about her twins. Were her instincts spot on, or did she (and our tarot card reader) get some stuff wrong?

So there's a young, handsome man who's suddenly all over our feeds. Some people say he's going to save America. Others say he's just a very good example of how charisma is the only thing that matters in a politician for the digital age. All we want to know about Zohran Mamdani is: What does he want from us?

Also, Reese Witherspoon says the reason we're so bad at dating these days is because we're not watching rom-coms any more. Jessie, Amelia and Holly unpack some of the helpful dating tips they've got from rom-coms and ask: Were we really better at talking to each other in the Sweet Home Alabama era?

And, 'smellmaxxing' and its unknowable limits. Now that your average 14-year-old boy has his own 'fragrance wardrobe' and we've all very much accepted that we stink, it was only a matter of time until there was a deodorant for everywhere, including 'down there'. But... do any of us remember what a human smells like any more?

At an innovation awards night — the kind where billionaires clap themselves wearing sustainably sourced tuxedos — one pop superstar cut through the self-congratulation with a single line: “If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No hate, but, yeah, give your money away, shorties.” The crowd laughed, sort of. The notable billionaire in the room? Not so much. We discuss.

Meanwhile, the politics of a pair of untethered breasts: why Sydney Sweeney's new take on the naked dress has everyone confused, divided, and debating what empowerment looks like in 2025. Gotta say: We were MESMERISED.

And, is it just plain embarrassing to admit to having a boyfriend now? The most viral essay of the week says YES — but why?

Plus, the royal formerly known as “Prince” Andrew is only Andrew now. In what’s being called 'the greatest crisis the royal family has faced in 100 years', the King has banished his brother after the noise around Andrew's behaviour finally became too loud for even the insulated royals to ignore. So what now? Will it silence critics and accusers, or just open the floodgates? Fortunately, Royal Correspondent Holly Wainwright is here to explain.

Hey Outlouders! For this week's Sunday Special, we're dropping an exclusive episode of our sister podcast Well into your feed, featuring Australia's golden girl, Tammy Hembrow. Tune in for her first-ever detailed public discussion about her melanoma diagnosis...

When you build your brand on the sun-kissed Gold Coast lifestyle, in some ways, the sun is your business partner. For global icon and fitness entrepreneur Tammy Hembrow, spending her life at the beach without ever wearing sunscreen was the norm. She thought she “never burned” and was convinced she was “immune” to the dangers of the sun.

At 28, that all changed. A tiny, harmless-looking freckle on the back of her leg led to a shocking melanoma diagnosis.

In this raw and honest interview, Tammy Hembrow sits down with Claire Murphy and shares her story of the skin cancer diagnosis that blindsided her. She reveals how she cancelled her skin check appointment "about five times" before her assistant finally made her go, the shock of learning the freckle was melanoma, and the surprising reality of the surgery that left a large "permanent reminder" on her leg.

Tammy opens up about the "rebellious" teenage attitude that made her ignore her dad's advice, and her new perspective on tanning, and the message she’s desperate to share with the millions of young people who follow her.

This is a powerful wake-up call about the real, and often hidden, dangers of Australia's sun-loving culture.

Love what you hear?

If you want to hear more, follow Well in your podcast app — new episodes drop EVERY THURSDAY. Just search Well, tap '+ follow', and you’re set.

All your health information is in the Well Hub.

It's news-free Friday so unpacking Buckingham Palace's announcement about Prince Andrew (let's make that just plain Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, shall we?) will have to wait until Monday when rest assured we'll be going in deep. In the meantime...

Our Em’s had enough of men playing it cool. On today's episode of MMOL, she’s responding to the Outlouders feedback on her dating life and officially campaigning for less nonchalance and more chalant male energy — attentive, enthusiastic, maybe even a little whisper this keen.

And things that have tickled our fancy. We’re rawdogging boredom, dissecting the rise of the Hybrid Rockstar (Hyrox, anyone?), and spotlighting the Halloween comment that officially finished us all off. 💀

Plus, in reccos: An unexpected podcast episode that's being touted as the interview of the year, to a mind-blowing strategy that's perfect for the Nup-resistant among us, to a film that Em insists we all have to watch, it's that good. Yep, your weekend listening and viewing is sorted.

Are celebrities oversharing about their splits? Nicole Kidman's keeping it classic - sending us subliminal messages through clothes (see: revenge dress). Lily Allen is being extremely 2025 by putting her Notes-app confessions to music. But why are we being kept so clearly in the loop of some very private business? Welcome to a slightly unhinged conspiracy theory about the strategic advantage of spilling divorce tea and yes, it involves real estate.

Also, is cutting out friendships the ultimate life hack? Some of the trad wives certainly think so, saying they've given birth to and married the only friends they need.

And there are some Australian workplaces having some particularly awkward meetings today - the schools that set the wrong subject for the HSC exam, and... the BOM. What colour is drizzle, anyway?

Plus, some scurrilous gossip about a chaotic new couple.

On today's show, Jessie Stephens, Holly Wainwright and Amelia Lester unpack it all.

The terms “Nonmonogamummy” and “Pussy Palace” weren’t exactly on our cultural bingo cards for 2025… yet here we are. Lily Allen’s new album is a gloriously messy post-divorce confessional — a world away from the Gwyneth Paltrow school of conscious uncoupling.

And, Season 2 of Nobody Wants This has finally dropped — but one of our hosts is far too distracted by Kristen Bell’s latest Instagram post to care. Holly, Amelia and Jessie ask: does an actress have to be likeable for her show to work?

Plus, freebirthing — what it is, why it’s trending, and how it’s dividing the internet.

Got a shobby? You know — a short-term hobby for even shorter attention spans that fills the void between doomscrolls. Claire Murphy's hitting the high notes at Pub Choir, Holly’s deep in her Duolingo era, and Em V’s gone old school with a shobby that's like her full-time job now.

We’re also diving headfirst into Other People’s Marriages. After the Victoria Beckham doco dropped, an internet debate exploded about whether David even likes Victoria — so naturally, we’ve got thoughts. Expect a little parasocial self-reflection along the way.

And, one host + one pet = one unexpected argument.

Plus, in reccos: a podcast to binge, something lovely for your face, and a Substack that Em swears will cheer Murphy up.

Em recommends an open letter to my dog who, if i'm being completely honest, lowkey kinda sucks a Substack by Father_Karine.

Claire recommends this week's episode of True Crime Conversations on The Real Story Of Ed Gein: The Original Psycho and next week's episode all about Kathleen Folbigg.

Holly Wainwright is deep into The Golden Bachelor, and she has one piping-hot take—but it may not be the one you're expecting. Claire Murphy and Amelia Lester are here to figure out if Hol is just secretly projecting on to a man called Bear or whether she has a point.

And friends, you're not stressed, you're in the 'October Slump'. If time is swirling into a pre-Christmas nightmare and you can practically taste the exhaustion, the good news is that it's not just you. We've got some very necessary feedback (always a gift) for this time of year and a few survival tips.

Plus, the latest celebrity daughter has officially stepped into the spotlight. Apple Martin, daughter of Hol's 'close, personal friend' Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay's Chris Martin, is all of a sudden everywhere. What does her arrival mean for the nepo-baby discourse, and is she selling a vagina-scented candle yet? We discuss.

Prince Andrew - the royal problem that just won't go away - has done just that, by giving up his royal titles. So, Amelia Lester and Claire Murphy join our royal correspondent Holly Wainwright to try understand - why now?

Plus, does high fashion actually hate women? From a dress that looks more like a cocoon, to an ensemble that includes a mask covering Kim Kardashian's entire face and a corset so tight your body actually spills out of it, it begs the question, who exactly is buying it?

And, in Gwyneth-adjacent news, a new Netflix series is letting famous people have the last word from beyond the grave. So if you could have the last word, what would you say?

Ever heard of 'Chatfishing’? Believe us, it's a thing, people, and may make you look at every message you receive in a whole new light. The trend is now to use ChatGPT for banter on dating apps and it’s leading to some awkward in-person dates.

The bus tour you did through Europe in your twenties has now been replaced with sunrise yoga and morning run clubs. We discuss why Gen Z is too sensible for that kind of wild fun with a bunch of strangers.

Do you treat your friends like family? And should you? There are pros and cons which we unpack.

Plus, the 'cunty bob' is out, and long hair is officially back in as we enter the Rapunzel age. But is long hair now a flex or an act of personal rebellion?

And all our best reccos including a must-listen podcast, a book Em wants you to read and a go-to 80’s beauty product that's back.

While there's an overwhelming sense of hope from the Middle East peace deal this week, we have some very complicated feelings about Donald Trump, so today, Jessie and Holly unpack them with Amelia and ask, "Can two things be true?"

A comedian really hurt Amelia’s feelings at a live show recently and we’re asking when it’s okay to take the piss out of people?

Plus - a vape, a donated kidney and a friend breakup. Selena Gomez posted a behind the scenes video of her wedding and the internet has A LOT to say about it.

And, the bush is back. Or is it? Kim Kardashian has released some new hairy undies and we have questions about the bush renaissance.

Victoria Beckham’s new docu-series has landed, and while it teases bombshells, it mostly confirms what we thought we already knew. Amelia, Jessie and Holly dive into the nostalgia, the PR spin, and what we really learnt that made watching so uncomfortable..

Also, Princess Kate Middleton has published an essay underlining our worst fears, that mobile phones are bad for us. But this isn't exactly new information, so why has it ruffled our feathers so much?

Plus, comedian Julia Morris is calling for women-only seating on flights. Is it about safety, comfort—or something bigger? We open up the debate.

And in the ‘things we didn’t expect to care about’ category: why not making your bed might actually be good for you, Jessie learns dust mites are not, in fact, akin to butterflies plus, the pelvic floor tip that’s weirdly simple—and weirdly effective.

If this conversation has brought up anything for you, please reach out to The Butterfly Foundation for support.

There's a new celebrity boyfriend doing the rounds and everyone from Jennifer Aniston to Princess Martha Louise of Norway (a royal rebel if ever there was one) are here to confirm that the spiritual-softboi era is officially here. Holly has a precise theory as to why.

And Jessie poses a provocative question to both Holly and Mamamia's Editor, Stacey Hicks: is anti-natalism (aka choosing not to have kids for ethical reasons) gaining traction for a reason?

Plus, we've had 'job hopping' and 'quiet quitting' but it's 'job hugging' that's the latest workplace trend — and no, it's not as cosy as it sounds. There are pros, there are cons and someone's missing out bigtime. Stacey explains.

And in recommendations:

  • A criminally underrated TV show that's perfect for weekend viewing
  • A podcast that’s anything but average
  • And a cult-fave hair product Jessie didn’t want to love... but does.

If we could give Jennifer Lopez one tip: not every ex needs a friendship arc. Looking at you, Ben Affleck. Some things — like red carpets and rekindled flings — are better left in the early 2000s. On today's show, Holly braces herself for this scurrilous JLo gossip. Take cover, friends.

Plus, a plot twist in the Taylor Swift PR machine no one saw coming. Jessie’s been deep in internet sleuth mode and she’s ready to explain why the Swiftie outrage might actually be legit.

And finally: WTF is klarnamaxxing? If you live by 'buy now, pay later', you need to hear Amelia deep dive into this.

One of Australia's most iconic couples have called it quits. We are of course talking about Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban. Holly sits down with Amelia and Jessie to unpack what we know and to decode what's fact, what's fiction and what's plain ol' scurrilous gossip.

Plus, when was the last time you changed your makeup routine? If it's been a hot minute, it's highly likely you're doing it all wrong. Amelia talks us through the latest TikTok tips that may turn everything you thought you knew about makeup upside down.

And, why everybody needs to climb 'Cringe Mountain' to get to the 'cool'. But why do some generations find it harder than others?

Australian singer Vanessa Amorosi has spoken about the very messy feud with her mum and the financial fallout that destroyed their relationship. But does it reveal more about the bizarre dynamics of child stars and their families?

Also, Jessie has a question: if you’re going through something in your personal life, should you tell your workplace about it? How much do you REALLY want your boss to know? We have thoughts.

Plus, it's 'Sit at the Bar September' and Amelia has a theory about why sitting and making eye contact with strangers IRL sound so unappealing to young people.

Welcome to Amelia Lester's original theory about your phone battery that makes PERFECT sense. It actually has nothing to do with your phone, and everything to do with naps.

Also, an announcement from US President Donald Trump this week about pregnancy, autism and paracetamol has upset a lot of people. We discuss the impact on women, how medical experts in Australia have rejected the claims and the dangers of medical misinformation.

Plus, Dressing for work is BACK BABY but is your office attire appropriate and is your shoe-to-foot ratio correct? We explain.

Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show was pulled off the air last week and there has been a LOT of conversation around it politically, morally, constitutionally - but what does it all mean? And should we be freaking out? We break down the controversy you've seen in your feed and what it means for comedy in 2025.

Plus, remember Ned Fulmer? The original 'Wife Guy'? Well, he's back from his social media exile with perhaps the most awkward interview ever, sitting down for a podcast interview with his ex-wife. If you've forgotten 'The Try Guys'cheating drama, Jessie is here to fill you in and tell you the latest in one of the biggest cheating scandals on the internet.

And, do you ugly-cry on your birthday every year? Turns out you're not alone. We'll tell you why it's so common.

Picture this. You’re on a date or sitting in a job interview. Four minutes in, you know — this isn’t it.

Do you cut your losses and walk, or sit there smiling politely for the next painful hour? Same with a conversation that's making you quietly die inside or reading a book that came highly recommended —do you carry on or quit? That, in essence, is the Lemon Law — and today, we’re breaking it down.

Also on the docket: tween beauty. Why are 12-year-olds taking over Sephora, and is their influence driving up prices across the industry? And if that is the case, could they please stop? Like, now? Amelia, Jessie, and Mia unpack the tween takeover and what it means for the future of our beauty treats.

And finally, our weekly recommendations: a book Amelia didn’t Lemon Law, an unhinged sheep story (from Mia, naturally), and the documentary Jessie couldn't stop watching.

Leave it to Donald Trump to redefine international etiquette — this time as a dibber-dobber. Threatening to tattle on a reporter to Australia's PM Anthony Albanese, Trump turned political theatrics into a cross-border spectacle. Mia, Jessie and Amelia investigate this most unAustralian of crimes on today's show.

And, an update on Bruce Willis’ condition from his wife in her confronting new memoir that hits home for anyone touched by dementia. Jessie shares her personal experience and unpacks the backlash Emma Heming Willis is getting online for the decisions she's making on behalf of her celebrity husband.

Plus, a breast pump row. It may sound like something from another era — but it happened to Dr Elise Turner this week in Melbourne when the mum of twins was told to leave an airport lounge for daring to express milk for her babies. But there’s one crucial detail that most of us missed...

And, Births, Deaths & Marriages. Mia’s got a new segment and a lot to say. From celebrity babies to red carpet chaos, she’s tying it all together… loosely. Is it an excuse to (scurrilously) gossip about celebrities? Absolutely. Does she seamlessly segue into a controversial red carpet analysis? Of course she does.

We also reveal the 17 household habits that will clear mental clutter as much as they will your kitchen bench tops. Light and shade, friends. Light and shade.

Three Out Loud hosts, one tarot card reader, Evelyn, and our unfiltered reactions. What could go wrong? Outlouders, this is an episode we have been looking forward to.

Also, we’re not just reading our futures — Holly unpacks the vulnerable and heartfelt revelations in Liz Gilbert’s new book, including her self-proclaimed 'love addiction'. So why does Jessie find some of her observations feel kind of familiar?

The wild but true high school catfish doco that floored Jessie; Holly and her good friend Meghan enjoy a taste of Spain; plus some X-rated bread making. Our recommendations this week truly run the gamut.

P.S. If you want to listen to our one-on-one tarot card readings with Jessie, Holly and Amelia, we have a subscriber episode dropping in your feed next week. We’ll see you there 👀🔮

There's a new species of male that's captured Amelia's attention. He's a literature loving, matcha drinking, standup guy that seems to capture the female gaze perfectly. Except: none of it's real. The Performative Man is faking it. La Lester explains.

Plus, we have to revisit the Coldplay kiss cam cheating scandal. The latest update changes EVERYTHING, and now? Well, now Jessie wants to renew her wedding vows.

And, welcome to The Great Lock In. It'syour chance to put the last remaining months before the New Year to good use. But a certain Stacey Hicks confesses she would much prefer to Lock Out instead. So, why do all our goals suddenly feel urgent, and what's a lazy gewl to do when everyone's obsessed with self-optimisation?

Outlouders, Holly has a mea culpa for your Monday. This one involves Princess Kate, her hair, and the internet theories we all wish we hadn't read. Plus, we unpack the other big royal news. This time it's about Prince Harry and yes, it's got everyone talking.

And, are you scared of small talk? You're not alone. Amelia Lester’s bringing the actually useful tips to survive awkward 8am chats at work when you have zero to say. That noise you hear? Just Jessie and Holly scribbling notes as if their social lives depend on it (because they do).

Plus… is Pete Evans mainstream now? No, seriously. We don't know either. But he might be back in your feed — and it’s giving us emotional whiplash.

It all started with a Google Doc. Half of you—like Holly—are going to love it. The other half? Yeah, maybe not so much. But stick with us, because this isn’t just admin—it’s a document your loved ones will thank you for one day. We've made it easy for you by including a link to it below. Download or... ignore.

And, Amelia’s latest internet obsession takes us deep into the world of weddings of the super rich. Think: Croesus, filthy rich, LOADED. Yes, we're saying hello to Becca Bloom and discussing the rise of Rich-Tok. What does a 'status wedding' actually cost—and why can’t we look away?

Plus, your weekly reccos:
💪 A fitness trend that’s a little... unusual
🎬 A Netflix drama Jessie absolutely inhaled

Why are we all so bloody rude? A new report shows retail workers are copping it worse than ever, and we’ve got a theory as to why.

And, the Princess Test: the Royals’ bizarre initiation ritual for new family members visiting Balmoral for the first time. Holly reveals what it involves—and asks if you’d survive it.

Plus, for 48 hours, the internet swore Donald Trump was dead. He’s not—but the rumours about the President's health aren’t going anywhere. Amelia’s got three clues to explain why this is one conspiracy that just won't die.

Say it's not so! Is the romance between Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson really just a PR stunt? We investigate (through bitter tears).

Plus, the fertility test women have been paying for. Doctors now say it doesn’t actually work. Jessie, Holly and Amelia unpack what that means for women everywhere.

And, labubus. The nightmare-fuel plushies the internet can’t get enough of are... cute? Cursed? Or, literally possessed by Pazuzus requiring religious intervention? There's a sentence we never thought we'd be typing on a Monday afternoon. Whatever. We unpack WTF is going on.

🎉 Guess who's back, back again… 🎉

Outlouders, you asked. We listened. And now, it’s happening: Amelia Lester and Stacey Hicks are officially back — and they’ve brought the one and only Monique Bowley with them. Yep, Monz has returned to the Mamamia family to bring you Parenting Out Loud.

If you love it (OF COURSE YOU WILL), make it your new Saturday ritual. Just search Parenting Out Loud, tap ‘+ follow’, and boom — parenting content with a pulse, delivered weekly.

Because when you become a parent, it changes everything. And that includes how you see what's going on in the world. So, every week we deep-dive into the trends, headlines and viral MumToks through the lens of being just that — a parent.

This week:

  • Gen Z’s latest reason for giving parenthood the side-eye
  • The guilt trip of not loving every second with your kids
  • Amelia’s campaign to stop parental group texts (bold move)
  • Stacey’s epic analogy for baby number three (you’ll never see tricycles the same way again)

Hit play and welcome to the group chat you won't want to mute.

Plus, it’s our recommendations:

🪩 Stacey recommends a boogie with your friends at a disco club.

🛏️ Amelia is bringing back the tried and tested hot water bottle.

🧇 Monz is a fan of this fool-proof snack: Take 8 Weet-Bix, 1/4 cup cocoa, 1 cup of desiccated coconut and a can of condensed milk. Stir all ingredients together, roll it into balls, roll in coconut and store in a bag in the freezer.

When something Earth shattering disrupts your life, what happens in the aftermath? The 'snow-globe effect' is an analogy we learned recently, and it explains a feeling we've never been able to articulate.

And are you an extrovert, introvert or otrovert? If you’re like Holly, this new term might describe you.

Also, we have FOUR things for you to watch, so clear your weekend plans. A show that made Holly's heart sing, a Jessie true-crime special, and something action packed Em couldn't look away from.

Plus, a very special surprise for OG Outlouders at the end of the show 👀

Pete Davidson has a size issue.And no, it’s not what you think—it’s bigger than that. The BDE rumours won’t die, and now Pete’s weighing in with a gender comparison that has Em, Amelia and Holly raising their eyebrows.

And Lindsay Lohan is back, baby and it’s hitting us right in the feelings. Why does her comeback feel like a warm hug from 2004? One of us hit the Freakier Friday premiere and brought back juicy behind-the-scenes tea.

Plus, Em's is in a new situationship. Except this time, robots are involved and it's all got a bit... complicated.

Oh, and it's Friday recoos time: A skincare product that slaps (your face, gently), an animated movie that had us crying in public, and an Instagram account that reads as a big cry for help.

There's a new Netflix documentary that's made us rethink one of the biggest reality shows from the 2000s—The Biggest Loser. We all watched Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser, but it was the raw and deeply personal responses from one of our producers that will stay with you.

And super guru Mel Robbins is human after all. Holly explains why Mel broke down over her friend's kitchen while Jessie and Mamamia's Deputy Editor Stacey Hicks unpick jealousy and reveal who sparks the green monster for them in their lives.

Plus, if you were to increase productivity, what would you enforce? A 3pm free diet coke, compulsory mouth tape, a social media ban? We discuss.

Donald Trump, the world’s “greatest dealmaker” (his words), has somehow managed to walk away from Vladimir Putin with... not a lot so far in his bid to end the war in Ukraine. And that's despite Melania's handwritten 'letter of peace' to the Russian leader. Then there's a red carpet cameo and a secret backseat meeting. Amelia Lester is here to explain all.

Plus, comedian Matt Rife has been cancelled… again. This time, it’s thanks to an e.l.f. cosmetics ad campaign that proves there is such a thing as bad publicity.

And Taylor and Travis: he plays the role of the goofy himbo, she’s the sensible mastermind. Their New Heights interview has us asking—should you always be the smarter one in your relationship? Holly, Jessie and Amelia have thoughts.

Is maternal instinct actually a myth? It's a question that's hitting close to home for so many women, whether you have children or not. We're diving into this one, and our conversation may surprise you.

Plus, the internet has gifted us some new vocabulary. 'Mankeeping', 'heterofatalism', 'hermeneutic labour' - fancy words that all translate to the same exhausting reality: what it's actually like to date men. Em Vernem's got the juicy dating stories to prove these terms exist for a reason.

And your weekend sorted with our latest recommendations: a mysterious new hobby that's got us intrigued, a genius hack for mastering new skills, and how to transform the most basic of vegetables into something actually delicious.

Yesterday, you may have felt a shift in the air around 2:12pm. The squealing. The frantic maths. Whispers of 'TS12', New Heights, showgirls - that's certainly what it was like in the Mamamia office. Taylor Swift has officially re-emerged, and Jessie has a theory about the new album announcement that left the entire Out Loud team absolutely speechless.

Plus, we can't agree on a viral tennis match moment. Who decides what public spaces children are allowed to be in? We unpack what happens when society becomes less and less tolerant of children.

And, Jessie has some feedback about a type of music dubbed 'the millennials genre'. Don't worry, we explain what it all means and why some of us... are mildly offended.

Australia isn't having enough babies but why is it women who are the only ones being scolded about it? Jessie, Amelia and Holly discuss if a reintroduction of the Baby Bonus could reverse the declining birth rate or if it's all too little too late.

And some scurrilous new gossip in the Peltz-Beckham feud saga including yacht wars and a premature vow renewal — Amelia can hardly contain her excitement.

Plus, the new wellness retreat which involves five days in a checks notes pitch black cabin in the middle of nowhere. It's one of our host's worst nightmare for a multitude of unusual reasons while Eat, Pray, Love author Liz Gilbert tried it and offers a completely different opinion.

Sure, she's got great jeans—but actress Sydney Sweeney's latest American Eagle ad has sparked an internet storm involving Nazis, eugenics, and, yes, denim. Mia, Jessie and Holly break down the very weird week Sydney's had and ask: WTAF is going on?

Also today:

  • The Aussie Government wants to ban YouTube for under-16s—and even The Wiggles are weighing in. Is it a smart move or a total tech overstep?
  • Scurrilous gossip: Katy Perry is dating a former PM and Pamela Anderson has soft-launched a new man who just happens to be a film star with a tragic past. Two things can be true? We hope so.
  • And we’re introducing you to FAFO—the punk rock cousin of 'Let Them'—and why it might just be your new life motto.

Gwyneth Paltrow has had a big week, and coincidentally, so has Holly. As the new spokesperson for Astronomer, Gwynnie's made waves with a new ad, as well as a surprising body part of hers that's got some recent recognition.

Plus, a women-only only app by the name of Tea is causing quite the stir in the dating world. But is it a necessary tool for women or opening an uncomfortable conversation about privacy and anonymity?

And, Australia was arguing this weekend about what is actually the hottest Australian song of all time. Mia, Jessie and Holly come prepared with their top 5—as well as some constructive criticism for the list (and each other).

In breaking news, Netflix has released their viewing figures for the shows people are watching and more importantly not watching. And sadly for Holly, With Love, Meghan didn't fare so well—but was it still a success?

Plus, Australia is re-learning how to deal with a political leader who is checks notes a woman. This week's conundrum is how much detail the people are entitled to know about her and her past. But it might just be the commentary that's problematic.

And, Jessica Biel's back broke the internet. Mia, Jessie and Holly are divided on whether the new age of celeb transparency is liberating or in fact a curse?

The Coldplay affair has united every corner of the internet. But there's more to the story then meets the eye with strangers profiting, fake statements, and AI generated content. Mia's feeling conflicted to say the least, and she needs to talk about it.

And newsflash: Holly's back from her European Grand Tour—and just in the nick of time. An exclusive look at Gwyneth Paltrow: The Biography has dropped with strange details about her early life and career that our Gwyneth correspondent is desperate to fill us in on.

Plus, main character energy is ruining our public spaces. People are pooing in public pools and Jessie is demanding more information about it while Holly reports on her firsthand experience with over-tourism in 2025—and how this might all be our new norm.

Nobody has a personality anymore. At least, that's what Em Vernem thinks, and she's not alone. In writer Freya India's Substack Girls, India critiques the diagnostic lense through which we see the world, and it's seriously blown our minds.

The Salt Path, a heartbreaking 2018 memoir adapted into a hugely successful movie and marketed as 'unflinchingly true', is making headlines this week. Because the truth seems to have been stretched. So what's with memoirs where 'recollections may vary'? And does it really matter?

Plus, Jessie has some heartbreaking news she wants to share.

And our recommendations, including the show that held Mia's attention for 10 hours, a stunning novel by a NYT bestseller, and an action movie Em thinks everyone should watch.

Recommendations

  • Mia recommends Too Much and Drive to Survive on Netflix.
  • Jessie recommends The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah.
  • Em recommends Head of State on Amazon Prime Video.

There’s a distinct true crime spin on MMOL today. The Outback Killer Bradley Murdoch has died, and after 24 years, he’s taking his secrets to the grave with him.

Plus, are we normalising meanness? With shows that scratch our hate-watch itch, Mia, Amelia and Jessie talk about why we're clocking up so much time in front of something we actively dislike.

And Jeffrey Epstein’s name is back in the news and being said in the same breath as Donald Trump, missing files, and the unanswered questions that are turning us into conspiracy theorists.

It’s all going on, Outlouders. You know what to do 🎧

She was the voice of a generation, then she vanished. Now Lena Dunham is back with a Netflix romcom—but where has she been?

The creator of Girls disappeared from the spotlight for years, and the story behind her absence is almost more compelling than her comeback. So why did the woman who defined millennial womanhood step away? Mia, Jessie and Amelia Lester discuss on today's show.

And if you've been posting less and scrolling more, you're not alone. Women everywhere are retreating from social media, choosing to lurk rather than share. We're exploring why we're all heading towards posting zero—and what it means for how we connect.

Plus, scurrilous (royal) gossip: King Charles and Prince Harry's aides held a secret meeting, and everyone's speculating about what went down. Are the palace walls finally cracking?

The world is not made for me. The very melodramatic Substack that describes every short girl’s problems. So today, shorties Mia and Jessie are joined by taller girl Amelia Lester and Mamamia's even taller Deputy Editor Stacey Hicks, to figure out who’s got it worse.

Also, why do we need to be so efficient all the darn time? Micro-efficiencies are the new craze and with their increase, it’s our chance to rest our decision-making brains.

Plus, in this auditory medium, we present an optical illusion. Blame Jessie. If you'd like to see how high you are on the vision leaderboard, the illusions will be on our Instagram.

And of course, recommendations: a trip to the cinema, a very fancy kitchen gadget, and a fascinating documentary.

Sexuopharmaceuticals. Yes, we had to sound it out too. But behind the tongue-twister is a study that confirms what many couples already know: vaginal dryness + erectile dysfunction = not exactly a recipe for romance. But is that pill really the answer? We unpack the not-so-sexy science that says that sexuopharmaceuticals like Viagra are putting some men out of sync with their female partners.

And, C-sections are on the rise—and Amelia, Jessie and Mia have thoughts. Is it a medical trend, a feminist power move, or just the new default setting for birth?

Plus, gossip alert: Jennifer Aniston’s rumoured new boyfriend has people talking, Bec Judd’s spilling the tea on her cosmetic tweaks, and Mia throws a surprise question at Jessie and Amelia that stops them in their tracks.

And finally, are we witnessing the slow death of university? Parents are being told to stop pushing uni on their kids but what does that mean for jobs, knowledge, expertise? We discuss.

Aidan's throwing rocks at windows (literally), Miranda's found love again, and Charlotte's trying to keep it together — we're halfway through And Just Like That Season 3 and we have SO many feelings.

In this bonus episode, we're serving up all our thoughts on the season so far. What's the deal with Carrie and Aidan's messy situationship? Is LTW about to cross a line with her hot editor? And why is everything suddenly going wrong for Seema?

Mia, Holly and Jessie are making predictions, dissecting character arcs, and getting way too invested in antique glass that casts rainbows.

Friends, we've got theories. So many theories. 🍸

You're a bitch and that's why we lack community. A brutal essay has exposed how we've all become selfish in the name of self-care, and some of us are feeling a little bit attacked. Mia, Jessie and Em Vernem discuss the idea of the small favour economy and why asking your friend for a rise to the airport is more valuable than you realise.

Plus, is anyone else feeling increasingly tricked by artificial intelligence? You're not alone. We tell you the sneaky ways even real estate agents are using AI for marketing tactics. And Em Vernem shares her own hilarious experience of being fooled by AI.

Also, it's time to 'lock in' and 'crash out'. We explain the new vocab you're about to see everywhere.

Between 27 dresses, 'something borrowed' from the Blue Origin space flight and Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's 200+ closest friends, there's a BIG post wedding debrief needed. They weren't invited but that didn't stop Mia, Jessie and Em V giving full wedding guest vibes on the three-day Venetian extravaganza.

And, the Liberal Party is in a world of pain with plenty of suggestions on how to fix it. We weigh into the quota debate that's been raging for more than 30 years.

Plus, dating apps are having a tough 2025, and no, people aren't more in love than they were in the past. So, where are the hopeful lovebirds placing their efforts? Em brings the peer-reviewed research we expect.

Finally, the 'poop' cruise documentary that is Jessie's Roman Empire and Mia's worst nightmare.

The most inflammatory podcast of the year just dropped, and guess what? It looks like feminists have a lot to answer for. Mia, Jessie and Holly discuss the furore on today's show.

Also, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s recent outfits have started a conversation about ‘date night dressing’, and whether we should take a page out of their very fancy book.

Plus, Jessie would like to make it clear that her puffy face is no one's business. The internet is OBSESSED with ‘lowering cortisol’, but do we all just need to touch some grass instead?

And our recommendations of the week, including a new season of Mia’s favourite Netflix documentary, Holly’s book of the week, and Jessie’s very exciting sister news.

Jameela Jamil is breaking up with women journalists via Substack. After too many burnouts and betrayals, the actress and activist is done. But is this really the group chat exit we think it is? Mia, Jessie and Holly have thoughts.

Plus, there's a mahoosive marriage taking place in Venice this week and friends, people are protesting. It's Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez whose nuptials are getting flack and their wedding extravaganza is everything you’d expect: 27 dresses, three days of events, multiple protests, and a juicy affair that started it all. We've got the full rundown — from the super yacht to the guest list.

Also on today’s show: you've heard of 'Let Them' and if you came to our live show, you might have heard our blunt alternative. But what about... 'Who says?' Who says you can’t wear that crop top? Who says those pants aren’t it? (Well, Mia... apparently. But ignore that.) This latest life theory might just be the one that changes everything — for the better.

Sarah Jessica Parker has spent decades as Carrie Bradshaw, but here’s the twist: she’s never actually watched herself do any of it. Not the sex, not the shopping, not even the typing. So is it the ultimate act of self-care, or just a lil bit lazy?

Plus, everyone’s talking about texting less—until they’re the ones left on read. We unpack the modern crisis of communication overload, from parenting to work to friendships, and why it’s never as simple as just putting your phone down.

If you thought podcasts were just for your ears, think again. Vodcasts are taking over and we feel… conflicted about it. Are you sick of our faces yet? We certainly are.

And our recommendations, including a documentary on Jessie’s roman empire, Holly’s 1923 binge, and Mia’s new comfort TV show.

There's a standout star on Duchess Meghan’s latest long-form interview, but surprise... it's not Megs. Enter one Emma Grede: Skims co-founder, Shark Tank guest judge, and the new archetype of the modern girl boss. While Meghan’s business advice is a little on the fluffy side, Emma’s empire—from shapewear to podcasts to philanthropic pledges—has Mia exhausted.

Meanwhile, Holly is bringing Etsy witches back with a dark update. What happens when your Etsy witch dies mid-spell? It happened and the buyer of this magical intervention isn't happy.

Plus, someone returns from therapy with two anxiety hacks that might just change your life... or at least put your performance anxiety on hiatus for a while.

And the debate about a debate: Why are South Australian high schools debating the legitimacy of 'Tradwives'? Jessie's extensive debate career (ages 13-16), has prepared her for this moment.

Blake Lively has broken her silence on the It Ends With Us chaos, calling it “manufactured shame". With Justin Baldoni’s $614 million countersuit just dismissed, it’s validation for Lively — but the real drama’s not over till 2026. Mia, Jessie and Em Vernem discuss.

Plus, Wife Guys. You’ve seen them online — gushing about their spouses like it’s their full-time job. Mia, Jessie and Em ask: is it wholesome... or a red flag?

And finally, are we OK? Sydney Sweeney is selling 'vintage' soap made from her actual bath water, and Bonnie Blue was all set to launch a human petting zoo with herself as the star attraction — until Only Fans banned her. We unpack the trend of women turning themselves into brands and whether it’s empowerment to be proud of or something else that's far more troubling.

Outlouders, we’ve unlocked a juicy bonus episode for your long weekend listening pleasure. Why? Because Jessie drops some absolute gold in this one, and it’s simply too good to gatekeep.

Are you that friend—the one who always pays the bill, then simmers in silent rage while your mates mysteriously 'forget' to transfer their share? The one who’d rather sell a kidney than send a “Hey, can you pay me back?” text?

Congrats, you might be a money pushover. But don’t worry—today’s episode is basically therapy. One brave Outlouder shares her tale of financial frustration, and Jessie serves up a no-cringe guide to getting your money back without spiralling into an anxiety pit.

PLUS: What do you do when your name becomes... a meme? Listener Karen has a full-blown identity crisis, and we have thoughts. Spoiler: changing your name isn’t off the table.

Is it fair to want your significant other to 'light up with excitement when you get home'? A seemingly innocent statement from an Australian podcast has unleashed fierce debate online - Mia, Jessie and Holly unpack.

Plus, Australian Fashion Week has just wrapped and gosh weren't the designs gorgeous. Just kidding, we have no idea what was actually showcased, but we can offer a detailed explanation on all the influencer drama from behind the scenes.

And finally, Taylor Swift has had a week from hell. Between receiving a subpoena, a possible friendship breakdown with Blake Lively and being dragged into a messy Hollywood court case, we're betting her publicist Tree Paine needs a day off.

A very famous woman has talked us through her boob job online, and... it’s spon con. Discount code and all. Is this really what we’re doing now?

Also on today's ep, tree huggers (including Holly), are going to love this one. 'Minge on a tree' is a new internet trend and WTF does that even mean?

The Internet has a new favourite insult: narcissist. But what does it actually mean—and if you’ve found yourself quietly Googling it… should you be worried? Mia, Jessie and Holly discuss on today's show.

Plus, it’s one of the biggest celebrity trials in years, and the headlines are already dark. What’s going down in court with P Diddy—and which A-listers might be sweating right now?

And, what's an acceptable level of hatred in marriage? One very impressive couple says it’s normal—and even healthy. We unpack the theory that suggests a modicum of dislike might just be the secret to lasting love.

  • At one of Diddy's first hip-hop events, nine people died. Backstage, even more horrors were unfolding.

Yes, it only lasts for 24 hours but this year, Mother's Day brought a stark realisation with it: an etiquette guide for the day is way overdue. And on today's ep, Mia, Jessie and Holly happily provide one.

Plus, subpoenas and spirals. Taylor Swift has been dragged into the Justin Baldoni v Blake Lively lawsuit, but what does that actually mean? Our hosts break down the legal drama and what's truly at stake.

Meanwhile, Justin Bieber's recent behaviour has fans worried. Is this what happens when fame finds you at 12, or is something else going on behind those worrying Instagram posts?

And Nick Cave's phone-smashing concert policy. We explore the bizarre reality of performers facing audiences who prefer to film themselves over experiencing the show itself.

Outlouders, we have quite the little treat for your Sunday Special today.

It’s been 18 months since Evelyn Jones burst onto our screens in Strife—fictional, yes, but her story couldn’t feel more real to the women who brought her to life.

In this special episode of No Filter, host Jessie Stephens— one of Strife's writers and an Executive Editor on Mamamia—is joined by Mia Freedman, Asher Keddie (who plays Evelyn) and Bruna Papandrea (Executive Producer) to reflect on Season 1 and to give us a sneak peek at what’s to come in Season 2.

Mia's memoir Work, Strife, Balance inspired the hit Binge series and together, these powerhouse creatives, open up about what it means to be a woman in the media and entertainment industry today—the competition, the comparisons, the fear of cancellation, and the constant balancing act between public and private life.

And of course, they talk about ambition: what it costs, why it matters, and how the world still struggles when women dare to want more.

Season 2 of Strife is streaming on Binge now.

Then, has personal style officially left the building? Mia and Jessie are joined by Em Vernem to break down the four forces that have turned fashion into chaos.

Plus, our recommendations: the show you’ll binge in a day, the book every Outlouder needs to read, and the one thing guaranteed to scare the crap out of you.

Michelle Obama has spoken—and she’s not here to please everyone. The former First Lady revealed what it really took to skip Donald Trump’s inauguration, and why sometimes, disappointing people is exactly the right move. Mia, Jessie and Holly explore Michelle's decision and the role of women as 'shock absorbers'.

Also, can kids read minds? The hit podcast The Telepathy Tapes thinks so. But the science behind it is looking more complicated. We discuss.

Plus, Meghan Markle has shared a surprising part of her bedtime routine—except it’s not for her, won’t be used for years (if ever), and contains a whole lot of admin.

And Gwyneth Paltrow is back in the headlines with a twist no one saw coming: she’s eating carbs again. But do we really need to know every time a celebrity changes their lunch order? Yep, our hosts have thoughts on this...

When you fall for someone else on national television, is there a right way to break the news to your partner? On today's show, we dive deep into the tangled breakup of Jojo Siwa and Aussie Kath Ebbs — and yep, it’s messier than you think.

Also, the final leaders’ debate served up a baffling convo about eggs, a full-blown culture war, and plenty of secondhand embarrassment.

And finally, we're at home with the deeply calm and zen-like Clooneys. George and Amal never argue apparently but is this really something to aspire to in a marriage? We’re unpacking everything they're missing out on when there's no argy-bargy and reveal what couples actually fight about.

Today's Sunday Special is one we think you're going to love.

Mia Freedman has been in countless conversations with Holly Wainwright—on mics, off mics, in meetings, in texts. But she’s never been on MID. Until now.

In this episode, Holly kicks off Season Five with someone who knows her well, and who’s read something very personal—her brand new book, He Would Never.

It’s a story about the limits and power of female friendships, narcissistic love, and the tricky transitions from girlhood to teenagehood. And Mia had thoughts. Lots of them. For one - the teenage girls we were in the 90s are very different than the teenage girls of today.

This episode is about writing and ambition. Confidence and self-doubt. Teenage daughters and their teenage selves. It’s a conversation between two women the same age, but at different parenting stages.

At the end of this episode, Holly has a very special gift for you - so stick around, you don't want to miss it.

What happens when a person becomes the brand? Influencer Remi Bader is facing backlash for a personal transformation—and her followers aren’t happy they weren’t part of the journey. We unpack the online pushback and ask: does she actually owe anyone an explanation?

Plus, Pope Francis passed away this week. What happens now? We take you inside the mysterious, centuries-old process of choosing the next Pope.

Also, with just 10 days until the Australian election, a major issue is being overlooked. In a week filled with devastating headlines about violence against women, we’re asking: what do we really expect from the leaders of our country?

And finally… Liz Hurley has gone public with a very unexpected new romance—and it’s giving a very specific energy. We’ve got thoughts. Lots of them.

Happy Monday, Outlouders — we’ve got a juicy little treat for you. Usually reserved for subscribers, we’re dropping this one into your feed because… well, you deserve it.

As the seasons change, so apparently must our entire wardrobes. Again. It’s a lot.

In this episode, Mia and Jessie are joined by the glorious Amelia Lester to unpack the pressure to be 'effortlessness'.

We’re talking:

  • The ‘I Woke Up Like This’ lie. Nope, your hair did not do that on its own.
  • Why pretending not to try is somehow the most work of all
  • How the effortless aesthetic has crept into fashion, parenting, relationships, work… you name it, it's got to be without a hint of trying.

It’s a full-time job to look like you’re not working at anything. And we’re officially over it.

What happens when three Mamamia Out Loud hosts, a live audience, and a very shiny Apple store come together? Chaos. Joyful chaos.

To celebrate 10 years of Mamamia Out Loud (yes, 10!), Mia, Jessie and Holly recorded a special live episode at Apple Sydney — and now, you get to hear it.

From how Holly wheedled her way onto the show, to what really goes into choosing our daily topics, and the moments that have stayed with us the most, it’s all here.

Hosted by our fantastic friend of the pod Amelia Lester and full of behind-the-scenes tea, this is your backstage pass to a decade of strong opinions, respectful disagreements, and... shoe jewellery.

Happy public holiday, Outlouders — this one's a little treat.

'Not quite right' seems to be the feedback for today. Why have six women gone to space in full glam for checks notes 11 minutes, only to return to earth and kiss the ground? Side note, why are Kris Jenner and Khloe Kardashian giving interviews about it? We don't remember this episode of The Simpsons.

Similarly, why are our politicians dropping diss tracks and is this the new form that election campaigns should take from now on? Can the 2025-2026 budget be released via SoundCloud too?

Finally, given the long weekend, we thought we'd leave you with some bonus reccos as a little treat. Holly Wainwright is joined by Clare Stephens and Em Vernem for a book, a TV show and a building that aren't afraid to take up space.

An ageing Boomer bad boy and a queer 21-year-old multi-millionairess locked in a house together. What could possibly go wrong? Quite a lot actually. Many thoughts. We discuss what happened with Jojo Siwa and Mickey Rourke on Celebrity Big Brother.

Plus, there were lots of cool people in the desert this weekend, paying $20 AUD for a 'super duper' shower. That's right, it's Coachella season. As always, the fashion is arguably the main festival headliner, and hosts Holly Wainwright, friend of the pod Em Vernem and the legend that is Clare Stephens, define the different levels of cool within this influencer world.

And, relationships. What do the top five percent of them have in common and why is it so horrifying to Em? Group therapy is in session.

We're living in the age of diagnosis. But are we about to enter a new era – one of de–diagnosis, where we can give some of our pathologies back? We discuss a new book that's changing the way we see what's wrong with us.

Plus, we have some recommendations including a rashie (yes, you read that right) and two fabulous new memoirs about an It Girl and a magazine mogul.

And, a Nicole test, a bingle and multiple viewings of a questionable film, plus Jessie's car disaster. It’s Best & Worst.

Old friends. After a spotlight was cast upon the female friendship dynamic in The White Lotus Season 3, we have some thoughts. Are old friendships toxic, or are their sometimes fraught, no BS nature the very thing that makes them the most valuable?

Plus, what makes a politician? When Peter Dutton received troubling news minutes before the first Australian Leaders debate, a subsequent discussion emerged. When does a personal crisis trump the requirements of a role and exactly what does it take to be a leader?

Finally, astroturfing. No, this doesn't relate to Holly's garden but the manufacturing of public smear campaigns against celebrities, disguised as organic content. Holly, Jessie and friend of the pod Amelia Lester discuss the internet's latest celebrity victim – and what's behind her takedown.

Look, no one missed the photos of Robert Irwin posing in his undies over the weekend., The ad campaign included a giant snake, a spider, a lizard and young Bob looking very handsome – did you have complicated feelings? We did and most of them involved... bread.

And, bamboozled by the tariff talk? Muddled about the stock market mayhem? Fortunately for all of us, Amelia Lester is across it and happy to explain it in a way that makes sense.

There are two types of people in this world. The pranksters who live for April Fools' chaos, and the rest of us who'd rather eat glass than endure another workplace whoopee cushion. Which camp are you claiming? Plus, Jessie has some feedback and a theory about April Fools' Day.

Also, the very public custody battles with some of the richest, highest-profile, most volatile men in the world. From copyright claims to children appearing in presidential offices, we unpack the high-stakes turmoil surrounding Kanye West and Elon Musk.

And kinks are having their moment in pop culture, with The White Lotus season 3 finale coming next week and a confession on Gwyneth Paltrow's latest Goop podcast we have many questions.

What did you do before 9am today and did it involve dunking your face in ice at least three times and rubbing the inside of a banana on your skin? If not, join us as we discuss the man with the five-hour morning routine. It's a vibe.

Plus, Chappell Roan has another unpopular opinion: She’s never met a happy parent. Does she have a point?

And, did you know that worrying takes as much energy as climbing a set of stairs while carrying something heavy? We now know exactly why you’re always tired.

Meghan Markle, uh Sussex, has a new side hustle and it involves your wardrobe. Why you buying a pair of jeans can earn the California duchess $16.80.

Yes, on the show today, we unpack how royals are diversifying, either willingly or not, thanks to 2025’s influencer culture. For some of them, it might even include a foray into checks notes milk.

Plus, are you a lucky girl? TikTok’s latest manifestation trend explores the art of delusion to ensure you get what you want, every time. Except when you're Jessie and you're lucky even when you don't want to be. Our self-confessed lucky girl explains all.

And, the return-to-office debate has taken a surprising turn. Is the location of your desk now a political statement? We discuss.

Whether you're navigating a redundancy right now or just want to be prepared, we’re going to change your perspective of redundancy.

Today we have a really juicy Sunday Special. In this episode of BIZ, Mia Freedman takes us behind the headlines of her very public redundancy that led her to founding Mamamia (you won’t believe the job they offered her instead…).

You'll hear Mia in conversation with Michelle Battersby and then insight from our career coach Soph Hirst, and you'll get practical advice on how to create a narrative that positions you perfectly for your next role and how to rebuild your confidence and reputation after a career setback.

If you want your work life issue solved, send us a voice note or email us at podcast@mamamia.com.au.

Mindy Kaling recently revealed she chose solo motherhood because she didn't want to compromise on money, career decisions, or parenting choices. She joins a growing number of high-profile women who are reimagining traditional approaches to family, marriage and relationships. We unpack the rise of intentional solo parenting and non-traditional family structures.

Plus, everyone's talking about this surprise TV hit of the week (and no, it's not The White Lotus). We discuss why it's capturing everyone's attention.

And in our recommendations: jelly beans vs brussels sprouts in an unexpected health showdown, and Mia discovers a soothing video trend that's helping her unwind.

On Out Loud today, we examine the gift that's just dropped in the form of an illuminating new profile on Holly's 'close personal friend' Gwyneth Paltrow. We unpack what Gwynnie reveals about being a female mogul/movie star/sex symbol/cultural icon in 2025.

Also, the new Snow White remake with everything – a half a billion dollar budget, feuding co-stars, a hot mess of a press tour – and a casting backlash which feels eerily similar to last year's The Little Mermaid.

Plus, the teeth we can't stop talking about: How The White Lotus actress Aimee Lou Wood has chosen to set herself apart by rejecting the face of the celebrity masses. Teeth are having a moment and we're here for it.

Two politicians walk into a podcast studio… and no, this isn’t the start of a bad joke. In today’s episode of Out Loud, we spill the tea on what really went down when Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Opposition Leader Peter Dutton dropped by Mamamia for a chat.

And we don’t want to alarm anyone on a Monday, but you might just be suffering from hurry sickness. Yes, it’s a thing, and we dive into how it’s affecting lives and sanity.

Plus, a high-profile father has taken centre stage with an emotional open letter to parents of autistic kids by saying the quiet thing out loud. We unpack the conversations it sparked – and why it matters.

There’s a celebrity family with seven children, some dubious accent choices and a wrongful death suit hanging over their heads. So why have Alec and Hilaria Baldwin opened their front door and invited us inside their home? That's right, we're diving into Mia's Roman Empire and the chaotic dynamic of TV reality show, The Baldwins.

Plus, are your friends’ 'tweakments' making you feel bad about your face? Competitive ageing is ruining friendships with women starting anti-ageing treatments younger than ever. We ask why and reveal the exact age most women start worrying about ageing.

And, have you lost your gut instinct? In a world of constant feedback loops and overthinking, many of us struggle to be Hell Yes/Fuck No people. We'll share the simple trick to reconnecting with your intuition.

It was International Women's Day over the weekend and Robbie Katter had some interesting thoughts about the celebration. We unpack his feedback as well as discuss some new research about the split of domestic chores. Plus, we ask the question: what are the unusual things your partner does to 'help' when you're expecting guests?

Also, why after a weekend of digesting With Love, Meghan — and some quickles sprinkled with flowers — it’s clear that the royal family made a big mistake. We explain why.

And, can someone please explain what SNARF is? We hate to break it to you, but it’s all over your phone and might be the reason you're utterly exhausted.

Hoarding, throwing, selling and Swedish death cleaning—we’re talking about 'stuff' and why what to do with it (or what we don't) goes far deeper than just clearing clutter. In this episode, we discuss why you either love having lots of things around you or not and the reasons why many people (particularly parents) hold onto random objects. We unpack the psychology behind our attachment to certain things and explore how your relationship with stuff can reflect your upbringing. Plus, why has minimalism suddenly become so popular?

There's also our recommendations including Oscar movies, prize-winning books and a new makeup hack.

Plus, we wrap up the week with out Best & Worst including fashion disasters and a flat phone battery in human form.

Candle-making, flower sprinkles, bee voices and that damned jam we've been waiting for. With Love, Meghan is officially out (and no, Holly can't contain her excitement. We share our honest thoughts on Meghan Markle's (or should we say Meghan Sussex's?) brand-new Netflix home.

Plus, a high school has banned mirrors in the kids’ bathrooms. We discuss whether or not that ban should be extended... to the world.

And, there’s a cloud hanging over the latest season of Married At First Sight and it’s in the shape of domestic violence. We discuss the ethics of what's going down in front of the camera as well as what's happening behind the scenes of Australia's most watched show.

If you haven’t watched it, you’ve heard about it, if you haven’t heard about it, you felt it in the force on Saturday morning. Yes, we’re sitting down to unpack the viral moments from THAT oval office press conference, with US president Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Plus, why everyone, from reality TV stars to beleaguered celebrities are “speaking their truth” right now. We're asking them to please... stop.

And, it’s Oscars' Day. From the drama around the film Emilia Pérez, and why it's lead actress Karla Sofía Gascón ditched the red carpet, to whether or not The Brutalist deserves to win an Oscar... when they admit to using AI. We're unpacking the controversies that led us to this year's red carpet.

Outlouders, have you ever wondered what people who don't swear say during sex? Clean dirty talk, if you will. Wonder no more, friends, for we have a list of the most popular phrases to utter mid sexy time if you're not a potty mouth.They're... interesting.

And, remember when AI was just a plot device in sci-fi movies with questionable fashion choices? Surprise. Now, the robots have infiltrated every corner of our existence – from grading kids' homework to diagnosing that weird rash you definitely didn't Google at 3am.

But as our digital assistants get chattier than our actual colleagues, Jessie's been pondering: are we trading meaningful human connections for the convenience of having a cyber servant handle our admin? And what happens to our relationships when we'd rather text a chatbot than our actual friends? Brace yourselves for Jessie's hot take that might have you side-eyeing your smart speaker.

Plus, Mia's new shoes, a beauty product you need to hear about, and the holy grail for picky eaters.

And finally, our Best & Worsts of the week include: talking politicians, a boyfriend emergency, and one of us behaving so poorly she's claiming the official title of a "right cow". Moo.

Does it matter who a politician is married to? From Peter Dutton and Anthony Albanese to defacto US president Elon Musk, we discuss what your partner says about you.

Plus, Season 3 of The White Lotus has given us a new iconic female friendship group. Why Laurie, Jaclyn and Kate’s glossy toxic dynamic is cringingly familiar.

And, with the end of awards season in sight, what do we really mean when we say we’re “worried” about the size of the women on the Hollywood red carpet?

PS: You can't miss Holly's chat about her own Roman Empire... Timothée Chalamet.

Ruby Franke, the family vlogger mum, is behind bars for child abuse -- but what about her husband Kevin? We dive into the forgotten family member in this disturbing story and ask whether this case should make us rethink how we share our children's lives online.

Plus, from Meghan Markle's vision board to the surge in The White Lotus hotel bookings, why is everyone suddenly feeling aspirational?

And, everyone’s lonely, but no-one wants to make plans. Why we’re in the Year of the Flake - unless you’re Mia Freedman who's top of the leaderboard for mastering the pre-flake.

A very public sibling feud sent Mia down a rabbit hole — and we needed to unpack it. From empire control to public fallouts, we dive into the dramatic Murdoch family saga that's playing out in public. Plus, we explore a growing trend — sibling therapy. With family relationships becoming increasingly complex, should more siblings be heading to the therapist's couch together?

Also, we have our recommendations for your weekend. Something a bit sexy, something a bit controversial and the book Amelia Lester can’t stop talking about.

And... our best and worst of the week. From an embarrassing moment, one of us thinks she’s beautiful and the jeans that transformed a wardrobe.

After trademark troubles and delays with her original brand, our favourite ex-royal is giving it another go. Meghan Markle's new Instagram teaser still gives us those dreamy Montecito mansion vibes, but now with a different name and (presumably) fewer jams. Is this a strategic pivot or damage control? Either way, we're here for it.

Plus, Elon Musk brought his kids to the White House, and it's giving major "bring your kids to work day" energy... except when your dad is the world's richest man and he's accused by some as using you as a prop in his latest political statement. We unpack the ethics of it all.

And finally, forget everything you thought you knew about modern relationships because apparently open marriages are OUT and good old-fashioned affairs are IN. We dive into the essay that's got everyone clutching their pearls and asking: did we overthink this whole ethical non-monogamy thing?

When Louis Theroux sat down with Armie Hammer last week, we witnessed what might be the most spectacular example of 'The Dickhead Defence' in recent history. But what exactly is it? And why do certain men think it's going to work?

Plus:

  • The real life people characterised in Apple Cider Vinegar aren't happy. But do they have good reason?
  • Could someone pull a Belle Gibson in 2025? (And why are we still falling for wellness scammers?)
  • And apparently, generations don't exist. Here's the science behind the claim and why it matters.

Is it time we retired the 'loveable disaster' trope? With Bridget Jones returning to our screens — still chaotic as ever — we're asking why society gets uncomfortable when women don't grow out of their Hot Mess Era. When does burning the spag bol stop being endearing and start being... annoying?

Team Mama Bear have come to the defence of a woman who burst into an Adelaide school classroom and threatened to kill her daughter’s bully. And that team is very much winning the in the court of public opinion. We discuss a complicated bullying story.

Plus, did you come from an “ask” family, or a “guess” family? How you answer will probably ruin Valentine’s Day for you and say a lot about the conflicts in your life.

And, revenge is so hot right now. It’s dancing on the stage at the Superbowl and it’s dripping from Taylor’s thigh… Welcome to the gloves-off era.

OutLouders, last week Mia shared the news that after 10 incredible years, she's passing the No Filter baton to Kate Langbroek. Today, we're flipping the script - Mia's in the guest seat, and Kate's asking the questions.

When these two powerhouses tried to record this conversation last year, the timing wasn't right. Now, they're diving deep into why — a raw discussion about burnout, grief, and what happens when you finally listen to yourself.

This isn't just a story about endings. It's about courage, new beginnings, and the unexpected paths that lead us there. Plus, Kate shares her vision for No Filter's next chapter.

Consider this your all-access pass to a conversation between two broadcasting legends.

"Sorry, can't come. I've got too much work on." We're diving deep into the glorification of hustle culture, examining what a 'balanced' life actually looks like in 2025, and exploring why some of us genuinely love living for the work (no judgement, just questions).

🍿 Your weekend sorted: We've got the new Aussie show everyone's talking about, the American comedy that's giving us joy, and the Oscar contender that's worth every minute of its runtime. Trust us.

✨ And in Best & Worst: Mia has some thoughts about her boobs (spoiler: it's a journey), an icon's empire crumbles, and a TV cancellation has us questioning everything.

Holly's hair is on fire after she fell into a rabbit hole regarding the new 'president' of the USA. And no, it's not Donald Trump. We put a spotlight on Elon Musk and try to answer the question the whole world is asking: WTF?

Plus, Australia's most successful online women are in a huge public feud. Jessie explains the All or Nothing story about Anna Paul and Mikaela Testa that's gone absolutely viral.

And, are you a feedback friend or the cheerleader friend? What's the difference, and should we actually be telling our friends the 'truth'?

Outlouders, we've just ticked off January for 2025... and who else is already exhausted? Don't worry... us too! So today we are sharing with you an episode of MID that will help you avoid burning out.

Burn-Out, says author Katherine May, is what happens when you repeatedly ignore your own needs. Sound familiar?

The first signs are often that you can't focus. Can't read, maybe. Can't sleep, or sleep too much? Can't eat, or can't stop eating? You're Tired All The Time. You have that cold that just won't leave.The cure, everyone says, is simple: Slow down, Darl. But it's not so easy when everyone needs something from you.

Author and advocate Katherine May - creator of the Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling books Wintering and Enchantment - thinks that the way we're taught to deal with burn-out is unrealistic for most women, particularly midlife women with overflowing plates. Waking up to meditate is not so easy when you've got lunches to make, work to do, life to live. And let's face it, a world that prioritises productivity hacks isn't exactly championing meaningful rest.

So how do you replenish, in 2025, when absolutely everyone's lost their charger?

Today on the pod, we're tackling everything from your wardrobe's existential crisis to if trying hard is ever enough (and yes, there's a connection... sort of).

Mia, Jessie and Holly unpack:

• The Gen Z fashion police strike again. Another beloved item has been sent to the cells. But we have a defence prepared and we're taking this to the Supreme (Fashion) Court 👩‍⚖️

• A+ For Effort? A viral essay has everyone asking if we should reward trying hard over actually succeeding. Spoiler: It's complicated, and we're all feeling very seen right now.

Plus, our recommendations that will enhance your life (massive claim but we're sticking by it).

🌟 Mia's streaming: A show about... bitches? Trust us, it's not what you think.

🌟 Holly's eating: The perfect meal to enjoy while wearing your weighted vest (as one does).

🌟 Jessie's watching: A tear-jerker that requires a tissue warning (and possibly a support group).

And we wrap with a Best & Worst so juicy that Mia had to make an announcement about it. Enjoy!

And, we've cracked the code. As it turns out, there's a direct (but chaotic) line from "Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!" to "My wife isn't my type!" How MAFS became the spiritual successor to The Jerry Springer Show (and why we can't look away).

The holiday season can put a lot of strain on relationships. In fact, did you know that January is considered "divorce month"? Relationships break down for so many reasons during this time.

Today we have a special episode for the Outlouder (or a person in your life) who might be going through some relationship things right now, because you're not alone.. even the celebrities are going through it!

In this episode, we unpack a celebrity divorce dilemma about the labor imbalance that can occur for women in their households. Whether or not a couple or both parents can both have "big" careers, the concept of the lead parent and how that role often falls on women.

Plus, how does a relationship change when a baby enters the equation? It's a conversation that you will definitely want to hear.

  • Read: January is 'divorce month'. Here’s why relationships fall apart at this time of the year.

Outlouders, in 2025 many people are celebrating the new and making changes for themselves. We've spoken on the show at lengths about the pressures of beauty standards on women in society. To look younger is a conversation that isn't going anywhere.

Which is why today, we are sharing with you a fascinating episode of MID that Holly did last year... because even supermodels have the same thoughts that we do.

Alison Brahe Daddo was THE Australian model of the late 80s, on every magazine cover and on many a teenage girl’s wall. She had a huge career here and overseas. In recent years she became the most honest, interesting voice about midlife and menopause and all the messy challenges it brings us.

But in this episode, Holly and Ali get deep about surface stuff. Beauty, whatever it means to us - and let’s be honest, there’s a sliding scale of how much any of us can ever claim to have felt beautiful, at any age - is a beast in midlife. Because how we wear our age on our face and our bodies can feel so important, so crucial to how the outside world sees us, even as we know it’s really the silliest of all our concerns. It often doesn’t feel that way.

  • You can follow Ali on Instagram here.
  • Find her books and other projects here.

While Donald Trump was sworn in for his second term as President of the United States yesterday, it’s Elon Musk who's stealing the show—and the headlines—with a viral clip. So, did he, didn’t he, and should we just pretend we didn’t see it?

Meanwhile, in Australia, some women camped outside a bookstore this week for their smut fix, while others are sweet-talking AI in search of digital dirty talk. Welcome to safe sex in 2025—it’s a vibe.

And, excellent news for you if you’ve just gone back to work and absolutely everything is pissing you right off… apparently it’s now good to cry at work.

Is TikTok getting the boot in the US? Could it happen here in Australia? And more importantly, why should you care? If you're feeling lost in the chaos... SAME. We break it all down for you and er, ourselves.

Plus, Holly isn’t the only one declaring 2025 as her Year of Nup. Turns out, Michelle Obama is increasingly nupping everything she doesn't fancy. It’s giving major Let Them energy, and honestly, we’re inspired.

And… Meghan and Harry are back in the headlines with an epic Vanity Fair cover story and an 8,000-word profile. Yes, you read that right: 8,000 words. But don’t worry—we’ve done the hard work of reading it all so you don’t have to.

We all know Jessie Stephens has a soft spot for a good thrift find (and by "soft spot," we mean her entire wardrobe probably costs less than your last latte). So today, we’ve got a treat that’ll make her – and you – very happy.

Leigh Campbell, host of Nothing To Wear and certified queen of the op shop, sits down with Mia Freedman to spill all the thrifty tea.

From uncovering the coolest hidden stores to mastering what some are calling the 'ancient art of thrifting', Leigh shares her best hacks for snagging treasures without breaking the bank. Plus, she reveals the mindset you need to dodge buyer’s remorse (and possibly that sequined jumpsuit you thought you’d wear).

If you want to upgrade your style for a fraction of the price, this episode is basically your golden ticket to fashion thrifting heaven.

Celebrities are being scolded over their California wildfire tears, and that sound you hear is the eerily familiar blame game playing out across the devastation. We unpack the story you're seeing everywhere.

And, why we love to argue about Australia’s most popular summer accessory — the beach cabana. Naturally, we have some strong opinions and as ever, they're loosely held.

Outlouders, do you remember Holly and Mia's obsession with the TV show In Vogue: The 90s?

We have a little treat for you today... and it's a conversation that Mia had supermodel Paulina Porizkova on No Filter.

For many years Paulina Porizkova was the most recognised face in fashion & beauty - from her iconic Sports Illustrated cover to being the face of Estee Lauder. When she married rock star Ric Ocastek from the iconic band, The Cars. From the outside looking in, it seemed like she was living the dream.

To look at her, she really did seem like the woman who had it all. But while Paulina was as visible as you could be…she didn’t feel like she was being heard. Not by the photographers and fashion people, not by producers and directors, and not by her husband, Ric.

But then, during COVID, she became known to a whole new generation of women for an unlikely reason…crying on Instagram. And as you’re about to hear - Paulina had a lot of really good reasons to cry. (But, she also gets the last laugh).

When Paulina hit her low point, she shared her grief and pain - and tears - with Instagram. As you’ll hear, Paulina had a lot of reasons to cry (and a lot of new reasons to laugh).

Outlouders, remember when we all watched A Family Affair?

Well today, Jessie wants to share a little treat with you all. The time she and Clare Stephens invited Zac Efron into the Cancelled courtroom.

He may have soared into the hearts of millennials when starring in High School Musical, but this doesn’t mean we can overlook his many misadventures. Welcome to the Cancelled courtroom Mr Efron, there are no shirts allowed in here.

Can Zac be let off free of charge because his eyes are too dreamy? We (reluctantly) beg to differ!

Is it getting hot in here... or is it just peri? We have a sexy little treat for you Outlouders and it's an episode all about sex.

Overlooked, touched-out and too tired. That's how many MID women feel about sex. It's how Leslie Morgan felt, too. At 49, her marriage ended, and after not having sex for three years, she decided to change that. Over the next year, Leslie found five boyfriends and discovered her sexual self wasn't actually dead, she was just having a good lie down.

In this MID interview, Holly Wainwright speaks to author and advocate Leslie Morgan, to discuss what women really mean when they say they no longer care about sex, why you should never cover your wrinkles to attract a younger man (if you want one) and how it feels to have the best sex of your life after 50.

Happy New Year Outlouders! It’s the first day of 2025, and that means it's time for Word Of The Year.

If you're new here... welcome to the group and to one of our most anticipated episodes of the year.

New Year's resolutions can be a bit drab, so instead, every year we choose a word to that helps us set an intention for the 12 months ahead. Word of the Year is more of a vibe that helps create a focus or filter for every moment and decision, big or small, that's to come.

But before Holly, Jessie and Mia (plus Amelia and Em) share their words for 2025, they reflect on their choices for 2024. Did they live up to the words they chose, or better still... actually remember what they were? 👀

What a wild year 2024 has been filled with highs and lows. One thing we are grateful for is having YOU the Outlouders with us every episode of this year.

In this episode, Holly, Mia and Jessie are reflecting on the year that was. From health concerns, seasons ending, best friends, life transitions.. and so much more. There is lots of deep and meaningful in this episode. Plus, Mia breaks the rules (the very rules she is so strict about) and does her best before her worst.

Did you know that this time of year is when couples therapists are booked out? Can't think why...

But it's for this reason that we have today's little treat — an episode which Mia Freedman wanted to share with you all from No Filter.

David Finch is a lot of things: he’s an Autism and Neurodiversity consultant, the author of The Journal of Best Practices; A Memoir of Marriage, Asperger Syndrome, and One Man’s Quest to Be a Better Husband, an essayist for the New York Times Modern Love column…and he’s also UNmarried.

In this two-part special episode of No Filter, David Finch opens up to Mia about his life before and after his Asperger’s syndrome diagnosis, his quest to be the best husband and father he could be — and how he ended up UNmarried (and what that even means).

You can hear the second half of Mia's conversation with David here.

Outlouders, grief has no time for fancy words and clever jokes. In fact, it hasn't a lot of time for words, full-stop. It's a full-body experience that can change you on every level.

And at this time of year, loss, be it past or present, can feel all the more raw. That's why this episode of MID feels so important to share today. Interfaith minister, author and death-walker Dr Jackie Bailey has experienced a great deal of loss, and she spends her life walking others through it, helping people prepare for it, and acknowledging it when it happens.

If you think that makes for a depressing interview, you'd be wrong. Jackie is insightful, wise and funny, full of both practical and emotional support for the grieving. She's the perfect person to help us through the hard parts.

We often get a little reflective at this time of year. What we want more, or less, of in life. Where we're going. What it all means. And when you start thinking like this, it can lead to big life decisions.

That's exactly what happened to Holly Wainwright. Three years ago, she was in this sort of reflective mood; one which ultimately led to her and her partner's decision to make the momentous family move from city to country.

In this episode, Mia sits down with Holly to ask all the questions both she and the Outlouders have been wanting to know about Holly's move. Enjoy this intimate conversation about the highs and lows of making a major life choice.

Merry Christmas, Outlouders! If you need a break from family and festivities then this is the episode for you.

In 2023, Jessie and Clare Stephens decided enough was enough. Someone needed to put Christmas on trial. Because while the festive season can be great, it's also stressful, overwhelming and quite frankly, a lot of pressure to be merry and bright.

Today, Jessie invites you into the Cancelled courtroom to put Christmas through its paces. From over-committed schedules, to being too focused on kids and feeling kind of repetitive, there are plenty of reasons why this is a lazy gewls least favourite holiday.

“We can bury anyone: Inside a Hollywood smear machine”.

That’s the New York Times headline that meant, holiday or no holiday, we were definitely bringing you a show today.

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni made headlines just a few months ago for their roles in one of the year’s most-watched films, It Ends With Us. But what was happening off-screen turned out to be an even bigger story.

In this emergency meeting of Out Loud, Mia, Jessie and Holly unpack the facts behind Blake's legal complaint against her co-star and director Justin, which alleges sexual harassment and an orchestrated campaign to destroy her reputation.

Plus, what this lawsuit means for Hollywood power dynamics, celebrity reputations, and the way narratives are shaped online.

This story has implications far beyond a single movie. It’s about the intersection of art, accountability, and the manipulation of public perception in the digital age. Join us as we break it all down.

Outlouders the end of the year is almost upon us! Which is why we are sharing this particular Sunday Special with you.

When you’re feeling exhausted - like so many of us are - what do you do? Most of us think we need more sleep. But, it turns out, sleep and rest are not the same thing. In fact, we can be tired in different ways, and each one of those ways requires a different kind of rest.

In this episode of No Filter, Mia talks to Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith about the 7 different kinds of rest that will prevent you from burning out and help you show up to your life with all the energy you need.

Take Saundra’s Free Rest Quiz here.

Saundra’s book “Sacred Rest: is available here.

You either know everything about popular influencer Matilda Djerf or nothing but after allegations were made about her behaviour — and yes, they do include a toilet incident or two — and Djerf responded with an apology, we just had to ask, 'What's it all about?'

Plus, this is why we can't have nice things. Every year during the festive season we watch our favourite classic Christmas movies and every year, another one is deemed 'problematic'. This year is no exception. And why 20 years on, Keira Knightley is still being asked in every interview about Love Actually.

Aaaand yet again, a famous woman is being torn apart online for her looks. It must be a Wednesday. It's Sydney Sweeney's turn to be in the headlines, but it's her response to the body-shaming trolls that has us asking if men actually know what women look like?

Outlouders, it's the season of socialising, parties and most likely, more fancy drinks than you can shake a cocktail stick at. Which is why today we wanted to share this episode of MID with you (hosted by our very own Holly Wainwright).

Holidays, celebrations, milestones. Wine o’clock, and the witching hour and the glass (or two) that marks the end of the work day. Alcohol is woven into our social lives in an almost invisible way. So what happens when you realise that the habit you thought of as your little helper is actually making everything worse?

In this episode, we're talking to Shanna Whan from Sober In The Country about why Generation X women drink so damn much. Shanna says that 90% of the people who seek support from her peer-to-peer organisation are women aged between 40 and 60. That's us, friends.

So why do Gen X women drink so damn much? How do you know if you’ve got a problem? And if it isn't you you're worried about, how do you talk to people in your life about their drinking?

If this episode raised anything for you, here are some incredible resources:Sober In The Country
Hello Sunday Morning
Alcoholics Anonymous
Life Line
Drink Wise

What would you risk to help a family member? In the case of one of the most powerful people on the planet, the answer might be reputation, credibility and legacy. On the table today is US President Joe Biden's decision to pardon his son — the understandable act of a devoted dad or a morally dodgy decision?

Also, why is 'sorted smugness' a thing now? Have a word please because a life that's completely in order is not something with which all of us are on board.

And, Sabrina Carpenter’s live show includes X-rated lyrics and simulated sex positions. But with a very young fanbase to consider, is her content just too much for little eyes and ears? We do a vibe check.

If you thought extravagant debutante balls were a Bridgerton thing of the past, think again. One happened in France over the weekend and it was Bridgerton, meets Coldplay and Goop. Here's why.

Plus, is bringing a baby into the office a form of psychological harassment? We discuss a new take on what workplace safety actually means — and why gossiping at work just got an image makeover.

Also, the anatomy of a rumour. Divorce watch for Harry and Meghan is on, according to Hollywood headlines. But why, how and where do such rumours even begin?

Outlouders, you might think you know a lot about Mia Freedman. She's pretty much an open book but there's one fundamental time in her life which she's never spoken about. Until now, that is.

In this Sunday Special, Mia opens up about a particularly vulnerable period when challenges around her marriage, fertility and career made for a tender heart and a soul that was looking for answers But what happened when the place she went to for help turned out to be... a cult?

The world’s in tears and holding both space and fingernails for one movie musical —so why all the big feelings about Wicked? We unpack the reaction you're seeing on social media.

Plus, a woman has waited six years to be able to call one of the most famous men in the world her rapist, and now she can. But he isn’t going to jail. The story of Conor McGregor and Nikita Hand.

And, why “puffy” is the adjective women are taking to plastic surgeons about their labia. Confused? You're not alone.

They're the girls whose names and images have been on every screen and hovering in every conversation around Australia over the last few days. So, exactly what happened to Bianca Jones and Holly Bowles? And how?

Plus, Nicole Kidman is an enigma wrapped in a riddle — is that happy divorce pap shot REALLY fake, as she says now, and why is there so much chat about how much she works? What's the real deal here about one of Australia's biggest Hollywood stars?

And, Heath Ledger, Jacob Elordi, Timothée Chalamet, Dev Patel, Paul Mescal, Harry Styles… No, it’s not a fantasy football team, they’re all men who are the subject of super-cool celebrity lookalike contests. But where are all the women at? Our theories are as varied as they are multiple.

Jackie O was deep into a years-long addiction to pills and alcohol until one phone call changed her life.

There’s a reason Jackie O kept her addiction to pain medication and alcohol a secret for so long: shame. But now, she wants to share her story of recovery and healing with the world and to help other people get the help they need - and so she’s sharing the hard truths of the years she spent struggling.

Jackie and her best friend Gemma sit down for a searingly honest conversation with Mia Freedman about how Jackie found herself at her low point and finally had to admit her addiction to Gemma - and how Gemma got Jackie to rehab without the press finding out.

This is a story about addiction and recovery, but it’s also a story of the life-saving quality of friendship.

You can hear part two of Mia's conversation here.

Jackie is donating the proceeds from the sale of her memoir to Odyssey House - you can learn more about them here.

You can find Jackie O’s memoir, The Whole Truth, here.

You can learn more about Besties - Jackie & Gemma’s project - here.

Martha Stewart is a whole vibe -- which is probably why Netflix made a doc about both her and it. Trouble is, the billionaire professional homemaker, jailbird and Snoop's best friend isn't too happy with the end result...

Plus, why did Kate Middleton’s face attract so much attention after a Remembrance Day service in London? Or have we just forgotten what women actually look like?

And, dating as a job. The new method for singles who no longer want to be quite so... single, that boasts a scorched earth policy and some very strict criteria.

And, a children’s book written by a very famous man has been pulled off the shelves all around the world. But how did it get there in the first place?

Ever calmed down after being told to calm down? Yeah, nah. Us neither. But everywhere we look, we’re being told to emotionally regulate.

Plus, Jessie and Holly would like to recommend a TV show to you, but… can’t. So, instead they're giving their pick of beauty products while Em’s bringing you an essential follow.

And best & worst of the week. Welcome visitors, a family loss, a grumpy baby and a hell of a hangover.

Outlouders, with the US presidential election this week, we thought it would be timely to share with you the time the Cancelled courtroom welcomed Donald John Trump, reality star, businessman, former president and current presidential candidate.

Donald is no stranger to a real courtroom but today is all about his petty crimes including drinking 12 Diet Cokes a day, claiming bodies are like batteries, and not thinking through the logistics of a particular wall.

Now, if you genuinely tried to do a Cancelled episode about Mr Donald, you’d be going for a decade so instead the episode covers SOME of the bizarre moments you may have forgotten about.

Plus, more lazy gewl stories.

Writer and activist, Africa Brooke, used to call people out on the internet all the time because this is what the culture wars told her she needed to do.

Until one day - she suddenly stopped.

In 2021, Africa wrote an open letter and posted it online. She called it: “Why I’m Leaving the Cult of Wokeness” and it immediately went viral. The letter changed her life, but not in the way she expected it to.

So what did she write in that letter? And how did she become unafraid? Was she cancelled?

In this bold and timely interview - Africa Brooke and Mia Freedman discuss the pressures, expectations and risks of living in the Age of Intolerance.

You can find out more about Africa Brooke here.

One of the most successful women in Australian media has surprised everyone by opening up about her serious addiction issues and a stint in rehab. And it reminds us of something we repeatedly choose to forget. We discuss Jackie O's viral and very vulnerable moment as the star confirms that proceeds from her memoir The Whole Truth will be donated to addiction treatment centre Odyssey House.

Plus, you’ve probably seen the clip of the Irish movie star Saoirse Ronan sitting on The Graham Norton Show couch, shutting everyone up with a truth bomb that resonated with women everywhere. But what wasn’t said?

And, screw getting a mentor, don’t dream big and really, really don’t trust your gut. The best career advice that’s exactly the opposite of all the stuff you’ve ever been told.

Outlouders, Mia has a little treat for you today about one of our Roman Empires... Trad Wives.

Trad Wives like Hannah Neeleman and her Ballerina Farm empire have captured our imagination - and divided our opinions. They're an Instagram phenomenon using highly-produced content to promote traditional family values - specifically, the idea that women would be happier if they stayed home and served their husbands and children, trading in a life of career-focused grind for a life of content domesticity - and nobody sells this idea better than Hannah.

Megan Agnew is a journalist for UK newspaper The Times. She managed to spend a day with Hannah, her husband Daniel and their eight children on the notoriously hard-to-penetrate Ballerina Farm. Megan saw behind the scenes but what she witnessed is very different to what we see on Instagram. Her article went viral and sparked a million think pieces and spurred some very strong reactions… including from the Neelemans themselves.

So, what is behind the Trad Wife movement? Is it just harmless entrepreneurship, or is there a darker, more serious ideology beneath the surface?

You can follow Megan Agnew here.

You can listen to our episode with Tia Levings who barely escaped her Trad Wife life, here.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s teenage daughter Sunday Rose walked the runway for Miu Miu last week, Kim Kardashian’s interview with her tween daughter is going viral... but one Australian businesswoman and influencer has taken a very different approach to how she puts her child on social media and some of her followers are weirdly angry about it. We discuss.

Plus, the world’s number one show is about healthy relationships and loser siblings - we’re unpacking why Nobody Wants This has been the unexpected streaming hit of the year.

And, don’t call me baby - or mate. The iconic word that people are passionately arguing about this week after a retail worker got in trouble for using it at work.

Outlouders, we all know how much Jessie enjoyed travelling back from Europe... solo parenting... with baby Luna.

Turns out she's not alone (ground-breaking). She can laugh about it now, which is exactly what she did on The Baby Bubble podcast with comedian Sami Shah.

From strategic seat selection, to the realisation of just how inaccessible some major tourist cities are. Enjoy this special episode of The Baby Bubble.

Plus, what happens when a world-respected wellness guru finds themselves at the centre of some very serious allegations? We unpack the "guru-ification" of The Iceman himself, Wim Hof.

Have we always been creative? Well, sort of. In this very special episode, Mia, Holly and Jessie unpack how their MO in life is to harness creativity at work and at home to get stuff done -- while still having fun.

Mia shares a story about Mini Mia taking a special bag of clothes to kindy for important outfit changes (who'd have thought it?!). Jessie thanks a teacher who encouraged her writing, despite a tricky problem. And Holly asks if their life MO extended to following the instructions when playing with LEGO® -- or did they go full rogue and make their own creations?

And, ugly birthday cakes, debunking teenage conspiracies and a very confronting drivers’ licence photo. Yes, it’s our best and worst.

Ellen DeGeneres is back, and according to the reaction, she’s either glossing over the impact of cancellation or she's playing the victim. We discuss.

Plus, what’s a 'dumb job' and is it the most sought after professional 'situationship' of our era? We have some thoughts.

And, can you feel it? We’re living in a new era of eroticism and it’s aimed at… grown up women. We discuss the booming market for female sexual fantasy.

Imagine being so confident that when someone asks you if you’re surprised you got offered a big opportunity you say, ‘Yeah, they were right to choose me, I’m going to be brilliant at it.’. In this episode, we’re unpacking the female confidence trap.

Plus, our weekend recommendations include a movie for kids that’s really for adults, a Gen X Hollywood memoir and a TV show that you gives you the most personal insight into other peoples relationships (you won't be able to look away).

And, someone’s been rummaging around Mia’s downstairs area, Jessie’s had a skin scare and Holly is really pissed off about something very silly. It’s our best and worst of the week.

A TV presenter suffered a panic attack live on air and everyone’s so very grateful. We discuss the reaction to Nate Byrne's on-air panic attack and why other TV presenters and radio stars are now opening up.

And, why gambling companies are on every footy jersey and Gina Rinehart is sitting poolside in Paris. Who funds sport and why does it matter? We have some (strong) thoughts.

Plus, ditching scrolling, sex, wine, shopping… What’s a dopamine detox and could you survive one?

The Olympics is over and we have a LOT to unpack. The entire world is talking about one Australian woman… We decode the Raygun phenomena.

Plus, more athletes have asked their other halves to marry them at this Olympics than ever before and Holly has some questions for the married (Mia and Jessie). Plus, all the Tom Cruise-ness of the closing ceremony and why we all care so damn much.

And, you can’t turn around at the moment without Blake Lively's glorious mane whipping you in the face - so what’s all this about a “rift” derailing her new film It Ends With Us?

Overlooked, touched-out and too tired. That's how many MID women feel about sex. It's how Leslie Morgan felt, too. At 49, her marriage ended, and after not having sex for three years, she decided to change that. Over the next year, Leslie found five boyfriends and discovered her sexual self wasn't actually dead, she was just having a good lie down.

MID is back for season 2, and it is jam packed with incredible stories, big guests and so much goodness for you to enjoy.

In this interview with Holly Wainwright, author and advocate Leslie Morgan discusses what women really mean when they say they no longer care about sex, why you should never cover your wrinkles to attract a younger man (if you want one) and how it feels to have the best sex of your life after 50.

Welcome to MID, Season 2, Episode 1: Sex.

Light the ceremonial torch and start commentating from the couch... it's time for more of our Olympic vibes. We discuss: cameramen being given an official warning for the angles they are recording female athletes, the beach volleyballers uniforms looking a little different this year (which has upset the pervs), and whether or not we should applaud athletes who soldier on through injury.

Plus, we unpack the unexpected tale of a woman who wants to charge another woman for hosting her kid for a playdate at her house... but not all is what it seems.

And, is hiring a professional bridesmaid sad as hell, or a feminist act? We have some thoughts.

A bad-taste joke and calls for deportation. We discuss the backlash after Jack Black's band mate from Tenacious D made a joke about Donald Trump's attempted assassination. Is it reaction warranted or an overreaction?

Plus, Violet Affleck for President. We unpack why everyone’s talking about Ben Affleck and Jen Garner's oldest daughter.

And, if you don’t watch out these women will be your bosses - the TikTok trend that’s somehow connected Holly, Mia & Jessie with Andrew Tate (yes.. you read that correctly).

Forget the Poms poms, tiny white shorts and high kicks from hell, the biggest takeaway from America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders is the pink economy. This episode we unpack the pay situation highlighted in the new Netflix hit show and how it compares to cheerleaders in our own backyard.

Plus, the UK election has brought Kier Starmer's work/life boundaries into question. So are world leaders allowed to have Friday nights off? We have thoughts.

And, according to one rogue writer, Taylor Swift is not a "good" role model because she is unmarried and doesn't have kids...sigh... strap in because we need to have a word.

Princess Kate is back at work, attending the Trooping of the Colour for the King's birthday. In photos she looked pristine and happy, which has lead some to comment that it's not what we expect someone who is receiving cancer treatment to look like. So, now that Kate Watch is back, how do we feel?

Also, have you heard? It’s never been tougher to be a 30-something in Australia. Millennials are struggling with cozzie livs and turning to Boomers and Gen Xers for help. We discuss.

And, the six-minute-long Bridgerton sex scene everyone's talking about. Why is it such a big deal to see a curvy actress being intimate on screen?

This week, a deadly air strike in Rafah in southern Gaza killed at least 45 Palestinians and wounded dozens of others. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has referred to what happened as a “tragic mishap”, and yet, emerging reports indicate that such an attack has happened again.

And, a woman who ran a half-marathon has gone viral, after her husband ushered their kids into her path just as she was about to win. We unpack how wrong the internet's reaction was and why it reminds us a little of Taylor Swift.

Plus, Generation Alpha have officially entered the chat and everything’s "skibidi toilet". Confused? Don't worry, we explain.

Outlouders, in case you missed it... Holly has a brand new podcast!

Introducing Mamamia's brand new podcast called MID, the grown-up conversations women deserve.

This season brings you compelling conversations full of fun, frank wisdom from an impressive line up of well loved names, in the second act of life who share it all.

MID goes deep on self-care with zero shame and rich experiences you can cherry-pick for wisdom to share, changes to make and attitude we can borrow.

This episode Holly speaks to Julie Goodwin who has had an extraordinary ordinary life. And in the last few years, she has had an extraordinary ordinary wrestle with her mental health.

While you were buying Julie's cookbooks, watching her two stints on Masterchef and listening to her on the radio, she was taking care of everyone but herself (sound familiar?) and some issues she thought she'd successfully shoved in a low drawer spilled out and began to take over.

In this first conversation for Mid, host Holly Wainwright talks to Julie about the winding road back from a "breakdown" and what happens when you stop doing everything for everyone all at once.

If this episode brings up anything for you Lifeline is always there on 13 11 14.

Already, 26 Australian women have been killed this year by men close to them. And while our Federal Government plans to “end gender-based violence in one generation”, we have decided enough is enough.

Mia is back for round two, to debate whether Arj Barker should have kicked a breastfeeding mother out of his comedy show. But now that we've heard from both sides (a lot... maybe too much), has Jessie changed her stance?

And, why Elon Musk has started beef with Australian politician Jacqui Lambie? We explain and let's be honest... this was certainly not on our 2024 bingo card!

It might be Monday... but everyone is still talking about Taylor Swift's new double album The Tortured Poets Department. But is it time for Taylor to stop being petty to those who've crossed her? We can't agree.

Plus, a debate about pepper spray and whether or not laws should be changed to better arm women against male violence. It’s complicated.

And, Victoria Beckham is a big birthday girlie. She's just celebrated the big five zero, but the way she’s celebrating delivers a universal truth about women and milestone birthdays and we have thoughts.

Outlouders, we have a little treat for your public holiday weekend. It was the “morning routine” that Holly, Mia and Jessie became utterly obsessed with. From sea-moss gel, to a bite of a croissant.

So today we are throwing back to a popular episode of Mamamia podcast Cancelled.

Bella Hadid is a model, an obvious middle-child and has the perfect face according to science. (Excuse me science, but shouldn’t you be curing disease or something?)

In the Cancelled Courtroom we unpack her life of ‘crimes’ include lying about pizza, changing accents and cosplaying as poor.

THE END BITS

  • Listen to the "morning routine" episode: The Great Middleton Mood Shift
  • Listen to: Yolanda “My Daughter Needs A Nose Job” Hadid

And, there’s a woman on TikTok who’s turned her toxic relationship into a 52-part video series about who TF she married. She’s being hailed as the storyteller of our generation. So, why is the world so obsessed with Reesa Tessa?

It’s the first day of a brand-new year, and that means it's time for our Word Of The Year episode!

New Year's resolutions are notorious for falling over, so instead, every year we choose a word to set an intention for the 12 months ahead of us. The word of the year is about creating a focus or filter for every moment and decision, big or small, that is to come.

Holly, Jessie and Mia look back at their words from last year before revealing the new word that will shape the mood of 2024.

The largest Australian radio deal of all time has just been announced, locking in another 10 years for Kyle & Jackie O for a huge sum. They certainly weren’t shy about revealing their earnings this time around, but is this transparency refreshing or problematic?

Plus, ethical non-monogamy is everywhere. But what is it and is it actually ‘ethical’? We discuss.

Harry Styles might be balding and Justin Timberlake is definitely dad-dancing. Has ageism finally come for the famous men? Part of Holly thinks it’s about damn time.

It’s been three weeks since Matthew Perry died, and all of the predictions he made in his memoir have reigned true. We discuss if the private lives of celebrities are no longer private after they’re gone.

Plus, we delve into the fig tree analogy, which explores all the different branches of life, and ask the question: If I follow one path, am I giving up on the other?

And, do you need a university degree to be able to give an opinion? The Gen Z TikTokers say yes, and US influencer Emma Chamberlain is their current target.

The End Bits:

Plus, do you actually feel like a grown up? Or more like an imposter who belongs at the kids table? We unpack why so many adults feel this way.

Listen to part two of this interview Jessie Stephens: Something Bad Is Going To Happen: Part Two

Subscribe to Mamamia

If you're struggling with anxiety & depression, reach out to Beyond Blue here.

Before Jessie Stephen's went on maternity leave, she sat down with Mia on No Filter for their most candid conversation yet. Anxiety and depression are mental health issues that so many Australians will experience in their life. But for Jessie, her experiences with mental health issues were almost inevitable.

Jessie’s latest book, Something Bad Is Going to Happen is her most personal project yet. Jessie taps into her own experiences with mental health to create an incredible fictional story that follows the character of Adella, a woman nearing the end of her late twenties who has found herself in a psychiatric unit, recovering from a mental breakdown.

In this conversation, Jessie candidly opens up about her very real and personal battle with anxiety and depression and what happened during pregnancy.

THE END BITS:

With thanks to Jessie Stephens

You can find her book Something Bad Is Going To Happen here.

In 2023, we know our weight has nothing to do with our self-worth… but what if the less you weighed, the more you earned at work? That’s what happened to Emily Ratajkowski after a period of stress-induced weight loss and now she’s calling out the industry but, is it hypocrisy or progress?

Plus, there’s some very serious arguments advocating the installation of CCTV across childcare centres. Will their inclusion lead to better child safety standards, or erode our trust in educators?

And… do you need to justify a ridiculous purchase? Simply employ the genius of girl math. Clare teaches us how.

No one quite knows how to feel as we start to process the shock passing of Chef and TV Host Jock Zonfrillo. There’s grief and confusion, and some unanswered questions. In this episode we ask ourselves - what are we the public owed when a high-profile person dies?

Plus, the fanciest party of the year has just occurred, and while the Met Gala headlines speak to a runway of spectacular dresses, we can’t stop thinking about cats, cancellation, and Karl Lagerfeld.

And the major etiquette rule we love that is very simple in theory, but incredibly difficult to actually do.

**The End Bits

There’s a fair work case blowing up in politics that raises some really interesting questions about just how much a “big job” can expect of you. Is the idea of 'unreasonable work hours' an outdated concept, or should employers be doing more to help us set better boundaries around work-life balance?

Every year, we discuss around 700 topics on Mamamia Out Loud. Seven. Hundred. We don't always agree, but we've gotten pretty good at respectful disagreement. Mamamia Subscribers have heard us diving deep into our 'greatest hits' arguments this summer, so to give you a taste of what you've been missing, we're sharing one of the all-time classics; the infamous 'As A Mother' barney. It's vintage Out Loud. Has Holly inally budged, or will Jessie change her ways?

It’s the first day of 2023, happy new year, Outlouders. You know what time it is...it's Word Of The Year!

New Year's resolutions are notorious for falling over, so instead, every year we choose a word to set an intention for the year ahead of us. There's no pass or fail, word of the year is about creating a focus or filter for the months, decisions and moments to come.

Holly, Jessie and Mia look back at their words from last year before taking us through the new word to shape the mood of the 365 days to come.

From war breaking out to monarchs dying, grown men slapping each other, celebrity court battles, and on-set dramas, to a new Prime Minister and the censuring of an old one... 2022 was never short on headlines, and a lot has been said about it, but in today's summer bonus episode, it's time to step back from the news cycle and reflect inwards, as Mia, Holly, and Jessie open up about the good, the bad and the ugly of their 2022.

It's our last regular show of 2022, so we're casting our minds back to ponder the all-too-important but rather hazy question, 'what the hell happened this year?'

And, our best and worst of the week which include the infuriating term thrown at Mia, some tragically stubborn statistics, and the most wonderful birthday presents.

Listen to our episode unpacking the entire The White Lotus finale here.

An ordinary Monday afternoon in Australia. Six people dead by gunfire in what seems to have been an ambush by extreme conspiracy theorists. It's not a story we are used to seeing here, so is it a senseless tragedy or a sign of something bigger?

Plus, a she-said-she-said influencer war and what it tells us about slut-shaming, feminism, and the patriarchy.

And the most talked about character from White Lotus re-shaping the victim narrative.

It's official. Donald Trump is back. The former U.S President has announced his intention to run for the Republican party candidacy for the 2024 election. Some of us are freaking out, but Mia thinks she can reassure us.

Plus, a millennial icon has declared ‘aging is fully in’, and painted her hair grey to do it. So is it empowering, or insulting?

And, the latest innovations in artificia intelligence have us wondering if you could ‘fake’ a digital interaction with a lost loved one, would you? Should you?

The Queen’s funeral is tonight but the coverage, of course, has already started. Lots of attention has been turned to whether this event is healing rifts in the royal family. But do rituals of grief, like funerals, bring families together, or exacerbate existing rifts?

We’ve talked about quiet quitting on this podcast before in the context of work… but is it possible to quietly quit a relationship?

And there are no white men on the front bench of Liz Truss's cabinet, but not everyone is happy about it.

The latest celebrity ambassador for anti-wrinkle injections is a man and… we have a few questions about it.

Plus, in case you missed it, Scotland made history this week when it became the first country to offer free pads, tampons, and other period products nationwide… And then they hired a man as their ‘period dignity officer’.

And, our best and worst of the week; from calming music to Scomo.

It’s been revealed this week that Scott Morrison held some ‘secret’ positions during his Prime Ministership - including Treasurer, without anyone knowing. So what the heck does that mean?

Holly is back from holidays and has a lot of books she wants you to read, but that’s beside the point. And on the show today, we’re talking about the peach test that’s dividing the internet, and no, it’s not about an actual peach.

Plus, you might have seen the name Salman Rushdie making headlines over the weekend, due to pretty horrific circumstances. So, why was this author targeted?

And the improbable return of the cleanse.

Over the last few weeks, you might have heard the name, Andrew Tate. He’s framed as the King Of Toxic Masculinity, and he appeals to men, apparently, who want to learn about business, how to be a man, and dating. And as Jessie explains, he’s one of the most dangerous people on the internet right now…

Plus, in an interview with US-based Marie Claire Magazine, Mindy Kaling said that she wishes every woman had the opportunity to freeze their eggs. But is fertility really that easy?

And of course, our best and worst of the week…

Last week, Beyonce changed the lyrics of a new song after she was accused of using an ableist slur. It's the same thing Lizzo did just a month or so prior. This week, Eminem released a greatest hits album, and one of the tracks includes that very same slur. Will he be held to the same standard?

Plus, a listener dilemma about an over-stepping Mother In Law. (No, it’s not Mia.)

'Quiet Quitting' is the more refined, less impulsive cousin of 'The Great Resignation.' It means doing the bare minimum at work and it's going global. Why?

We have lost 10,000 Australians to Covid. The nation passed a grim milestone this past weekend amid soaring Covid case numbers, but mask mandates aren't being brought back. Are Australians just completely done with being told what to do?

Plus, is ‘taking a lunch break’ one of the most radical habits you can bring back into the office? 

And are pheromones having a moment? Why 'Vabbing' is the new dating trend we didn't see coming.

There's a new trend pushing back against hustle culture. The ‘soft life’ is to live a life that prioritises one’s peace and mental health. Is it appealing, or a fantasy? And what does it tell us about urgency culture?

Plus, the personality test that helped us understand our own (and each other's) weirdness.

And, are two trends - the noughties and Barbie - spawning a new body obsession that we thought we’d seen the back of?

There’s a debate lots of Aussies have been having this week that we can’t quite make our minds up about. Strikes and protests have dominated the news here in NSW this week but there's one, in particular, that's got people fired up. Was it selfish? Or is disruption the entire point of a protest? 

Plus, in defence of a nation that’s being called ‘boring’ all over the Internet today - yes, it’s us.

And, our best and worst of the week, which includes impulse holidays, rebuilding bones, Roe and imposter syndrome…

There's a Trump in the headlines this week but it's not who we expected. Donald Trump’s 40-year-old daughter Ivanka, an 'unapologetically pro-life' Republican, has been accused of hypocrisy by a former school friend. What does it tell us about privacy, relevancy, and separating fact from rumours?

Jessie is sick of hearing Mia talk about peri, and Holly is in complete denial that she might be in peri, so Mia snuck into the pod studio on her own to have a chat about her experience.

Flooding, mood swings, body unfamiliarity, forgetfulness, itchy skin…all of it. She never connected the dots, or considered that it might be perimenopause until she interviewed Dr Ginni Mansberg, bestselling author of ‘The M Word’, for an episode of No Filter.

If you’re in you suspect you’re in peri, or maybe you’re looking ahead and wanting to be prepared - this one’s for you. The Very Peri Summit is bringing together the world’s best experts to give you the most up-to-date advice about peri, streaming direct to you over two nights…and you can watch it back later.

And what makes a wedding a wedding? Two excellent examples of rather unusual high profile nuptials have us asking.

The Prime Minister wants renters to buy a house, but is everything as it seems, or were his comments taken out of context?

Plus, why everyone is acting so…weird. If you think people are behaving worse, from a televised slap to an increase in car accidents, to outbursts of rage, you would be right.

And our best and worst moments of the week, which range from budget things to iso and eyeshadow.

As the dust settles on the Will Smith/Chris Rock slap, it seems like everyone on the internet has their own take. Some are clever, some are nuanced and some are…less so.

The Oscars took place today, and all anyone is talking about is Will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Chris Rock. And yes, that really did happen. But what happens next? Holly, Mia, and Jessie discuss.

Plus Jessie went viral for an opinion about reality TV villains that no one wanted to hear.

And…the royal tour that’s gone…horribly wrong.

Hey Outlouders, Holly has a new show, it’s called Lowbrow, and we wanted you to hear it. If you want to hear more head here and subscribe.

Welcome to Lowbrow! Your cheat-sheet to big pop-culture moments from the perspective of two women- 25 years apart.

It's Holly's turn to instil some pop culture lore onto Em, and of course she's starting with a royal scandal. Before Prince Harry was a beloved activist living in Hollywood, he was just a cheeky chap looking to blow off some steam in Las Vegas between military tours. Cut to a game of strip billiards and a leaked photo, and the world never looked at Prince Harry the same way again.

PLUS Holly explains what an ugly piece of jewellery, a fedora and a Michael Jackson impression has to do with it all.

One story, two generations, so much WTF.

World number one, Ash Barty, stunned the tennis world on Wednesday by announcing her departure from the sport at the age of 25. It's a decision completely at odds with how we've been taught to hustle.

Today, a prominent Australian woman is being laid to rest at a funeral filled with her loved ones and peers as the spotlight turns, yet again, to workplace culture in Parliament. Do we find the idea of an aggressive or toxic working environment harder to swallow when it is - allegedly - women involved?

Plus, a famous woman has been photographed eating alone. What does it tell us about the objectification of not just women’s bodies, but their behaviour, too?

And… a new make-up campaign claims lipstick makes everything better. Really?

Mia has a question she's too embarrassed to ask, and it's about a dinner party, a nude photo, and OnlyFans. Our MAFS correspondent, Jessie Stephens, is here to enlighten her.

"Welcome to anti resilience... Recovery is long, often boring, and almost always uncomfortable." Jessie is back. Her leg is broken, but she is back, and she wants to talk about something called anti-resilience.

Who would you want to play you in the movie of your life? Madonna is searching for an actress to play….her. And those up for the job could be forced into an intensive bootcamp led by Madonna.

Is International Women's Day Cancelled? An Instagram post from Abbie Chatfield has got us wondering what it is we actually want from IWD.

Plus, Hollywood maths is nonsense. Actor Emmy Rossum, who is 35, has been cast as the mother of Tom Holland, who is 25, in an upcoming TV show. Why are women playing the mothers of men who are basically the same age and is it… sexist?

Australia’s Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, has COVID. We’re not doing a segment on that though, because it is so far from the biggest story in the country right now. In fact, it’s been relegated to a quick headline at the bottom of most news sites. If anything though, it signifies a massive shift in how we think, and talk, about COVID. Have we lost all patience?

Plus, it’s 2022, we’re getting back in the skies and apparently, we still want to make flight attendants wear heels and make-up.

And our fascination with pregnant celebrities - what does it tell us about the bodies we ‘allow’ to be visible in the world?

Is Jenny Morrison the Prime Minister's 'secret weapon'? The promos in the lead-up to last night's 60 Minutes special seemed to suggest that much... But what did we really learn about the PM's wife? And what has the interview revealed about what we expect from the partners of our leaders?

Plus, a very famous Australian is about to become a dad for the first time at 50, and it’s sparked a conversation about fertility inequality.

Plus, there are three words you’re probably hearing a lot lately: Religious Discrimination Bill. The government introduced its religious discrimination bill in November last year, in an attempt to secure extra protection from state-based discrimination laws. What does the bill actually entail, and what's happened since November?

2022 has been declared the year of the new age Bimbo. So how are women reclaiming Bimbo-ism?

Married At First Sight is back for 2022, much to Jessie's joy and Holly and Mia's disappointment. With one of the contestants looking for a 'romantic' partner, what does that really mean today? What does it look like? And can romance be done without being weird and awkward?

Plus, David Beckham likes food. He likes cooking and wine and posh restaurants. It’s such a passion that Beckham went on a podcast about it this week. But it’s what he said about his wife, Victoria’s food that's caused a fuss.

And our Best and Worst of the week, which, as usual, veers from the very serious - blatant discrimination - to the very silly - the thing Holly's partner is doing that’s annoying her colleagues.

It's January 26 and there’s no episode today. You might have noticed that Mamamia only refers to January 26 by its date. This is to acknowledge that it is not a day of celebration for all Australians. So instead of spending 30 or 40 minutes listening to an episode of us talking, today we want to point you in the direction of some First Nations-focussed content and stories.

Jessie's recos:

What to listen to: No Filter this week and next week, with Narelda Jacobs guest hosting Pretty For An Aboriginal, hosted by Nakkiah Lui and Miranda Tapsell Coming Out, Blak That’s Incredible: The Story Of The Great Emu in the Sky Blak Out on Triple J, every Sunday at 5pm

Who to follow: Clothing The Gaps House of Dizzy Yarli Creative Indigenous X  Kirli Saunders Ruby Wharton Teela Reid Narelda Jacobs Blackfulla Bookclub

What to read: The Yield by Tara June Winch Bindi by Kirli Saunders  Fire Country by Victor Steffensen Blakwork by Alison Whittaker Growing Up Aboriginal in Australia edited by Anita Heiss

We’d love to hear from you, Outlouders, about the First Nations content you’re consuming, please share with us in the Facebook group! And it doesn’t stop here. At Mamamia, across our podcasts, our website, everything we do, we’re making a commitment to talk about these voices and stories today and every day.

And finally, if you want to be an ally this January 26, we urge you to send your MP a letter, you can find a draft template here. It's about the Uluru Statement from the Heart, which calls for constitutional change and structural reform that recognises the sacred, ancient spiritual link Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have to their land. It also recommends that  Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander First Nations be afforded a Voice in Commonwealth Parliament.

In a few days, we'll have a newly appointed Australian of the Year. As we reflect on the change pushed for by Grace Tame, how do we treat people in the public eye forced to relive their trauma for progress? What is the role of Australian of the Year, and is what we want from them...fair?

Plus, many of us are mourning the holidays… but what does it mean to create a life you don’t want a break from? Is that actually possible?

And sex on the first date. Why it might just be a brilliant idea…

What did it take to make a tabloid mag in the It Girl era? You know, the days when Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie or Lindsay Lohan were falling out of cars, in and out of rehab and a ruthless paparazzi pack was documenting all of it? It’s the era that, through a 2021 lens, might be the most problematic of them all, but back then, what was it like to work in the magazines that knew the more outrageous the antics, the higher the sale?

On this episode of Extraordinary Stories: Magazine Queens, Emma Gillespie speaks to Australia’s weekly magazine Queen Louisa Hatfield and Mamamia’s own, former OK! Deputy Editor Holly Wainwright, about the Britney years.

THE END BITS:

With thanks to:

Louisa Hatfield.

Episode three of Extraordinary Stories - Magazine Queens - was originally released to MPlus subscribers. Subscribers get early access to Extraordinary Stories, and unlimited access to all Mamamia content. To subscribe head to mamamia.com.au/mplus

The 1990s were the era of the supermodels, the waifs, and a trend so deadly it came with a health warning: heroin chic. Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and Marie Claire brought luxury to the local newsagent and gave Australian women a taste of the runways of Paris and Milan. A handful of women known by their first names only were on every cover: Naomi, Cindy, Linda, Elle… until the waifs came along and knocked them off. 

On this episode of Extraordinary Stories: Magazine Queens, Emma Gillespie speaks to former Vogue Editor Kirstie Clements about what it was like working in a world that would fly you to Paris for a manicure and also refuse to make clothes that could fit grown-up women. And Paula Joye tells us about what it was like working with the supermodels of the 90s... And yes, she saw them all naked.

Episode two of Extraordinary Stories - Magazine Queens - was originally released to MPlus subscribers. Subscribers get early access to Extraordinary Stories, and unlimited access to all Mamamia content. To subscribe head to mamamia.com.au/mplus

The most infamous battle in Australian magazine history happened against the backdrop of an imploding royal marriage and an obsession with a tortured princess. And the most infamous editor in weekly magazines, Nene King, had exactly the killer instinct to capitalise on it. Welcome to the Diana Wars, when two esteemed editors went head to head in a circulation battle for the eyes and attention of millions of Australian women - whatever the cost. 

In episode two of Extraordinary Stories: Magazine Queens, Nene King, Angela Mollard and Louisa Hatfield talk to Emma Gillespie about an era of tabloid excess, and how it all came crashing down after a midnight high-speed chase through a Parisian tunnel.

Outlouders, we're dropping into your feed to share something special with you. Last year we launched a new podcast called Extraordinary Stories, exclusive to MPlus subscribers. It's a show that explores the fascinating lives of incredible women with incredible stories, and we kicked things off with a five-part season called Magazine Queens. Over the next five days, you'll be transported into the glamorous and scandalous world of Aussie mags, and the women who made them, from the 70s through to the noughties. Enjoy!


In a chaotic Sydney share-house in the Spring of 1972, a disheveled actor was lying naked on the fraying couch of an inner-city living room. The woman who had paid Jack Thompson $400 was wondering if the actor’s left hand was really big enough to cover his modesty and get her history-making magazine past the conservative censors who’d decide if it would make it to newsagent shelves. The Editor? Ita Buttrose. The magazine? Cleo. 

On this first episode of Extraordinary Stories: Magazine Queens, Australian icon Ita Buttrose, historian Bridgette Griffin-Foley and others who lived through it take us back to the birth of a sensation: Australia’s Cleo Magazine.

Following your dreams and pursuing your passions sounds very noble, but for some, finding one isn't so easy.

It’s the first day of 2022 and that means it's time for our Word Of The Year episode!

New Year's resolutions are notorious for falling over, so instead, every year we choose a word to set an intention for the year ahead of us. There's no pass or fail, word of the year is about creating a focus or filter for the months, decisions and moments to come. 

Holly, Jessie and Mia look back at their words from last year before taking us through the new word to shape the mood of the 365 days to come.

So, here we are.This isn’t how we were supposed to be feeling today, is it? School holidays have started, we’re meant to be running toward an open Australia with plane tickets in hand, dying to see all the people we’ve been missing all year…But no. The news cycle is grimmer than ever. 

Plus, how’s your social battery going? The interesting theory that complicates the introvert/extrovert stereotypes.

One of the world’s most famous young women has spoken about how watching porn from a young age affected her.

And our best and worst of the week which includes grinches, graduations, and… underpants.

Weird vibes. That's how we'd sum up how a lot of Australians are feeling this week. For what will be the third year in a row, depending on where you live, of course, COVID is wreaking havoc on Christmas.

Plus, a new kind of conspiracy theory has us wondering if we have a problem with public pregnancies 

And, why big-ticket birthdays freak us out and our obsession with deadlines.

Plus, did Carrie and Big convince a whole generation to persevere with toxic relationships?

And Maya Angelou once said, "I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, & tangled Christmas tree lights.” How do you hold up in some festive personality tests?

Plus, how to tell if you're having a breakdown in slow-motion.

In case you missed it, Tim Paine has stepped down from his role as Captain of the Australian Cricket team. His resignation is in the wake of a series of 2017 texts between Paine and a female colleague being leaked to the media. So what actually happened?

The biggest story in Australia this week is around the continuing search for William Tyrell. It’s seven years since the three-year-old vanished from a NSW home.  After what has felt like an eternity, this week it seems police are getting closer and closer to finding out what really happened. So who better to break it all down for us than Claire Murphy, news expert, host of The Quicky, and someone who’s kept a close eye on this story for most of the past decade.

Plus, we need to talk about the trailer for a new comedy called Pam & Tommy and why it’s making people very, very angry.

And, our best and worst of the week, including November brain and a convention for twins.

Scenes in Melbourne this week bear a frightening resemblance to the United States Capitol attack. So what are protestors actually rallying for, why do they want to 'Kill the Bill', and when does activism go too far?

Plus, has the way we look at age-gap relationships shifted, and what we once considered ordinary is now icky, and what we once considered novel is now normal? 

And, the important life lessons we learned from George Clooney this week, which include the Amal effect and the best type of friend.

On Friday afternoon, Taylor Swift re-released her 2012 break-up album Red, and with it put her heartbreak over ex-flame Jake Gyllenhaal back in the spotlight. Safe to say it likely ruined Jake’s weekend, because the Swifties are after him, but does he deserve the pile-on almost a decade after their relationship ended?

Plus, in a very 2006 vibe, the Noughties It Girls —Britney, Paris and Lindsay — are having a revival, but the narrative around these women is very different to the last time they made headlines.

And, do people like you as much as you think they do? Theory behind the “Liking Gap”

We're afraid to say Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are back in the headlines, for three very different reasons this week: Harry's bang-on prediction about the Capitol insurrection, The Sussex's involvement in a not-so "unauthorised" biography, and Meghan's half-brother's stint on Australian reality TV. 

Plus, how much of our private movements are we willing to share with our loved ones? We talk location trackers and awkward friend phone calls. 

And our Best and Worst of the week. 

Heads up: episode talks about domestic violence. If this raises issues for you there's help. Call 1800 RESPECT.

Today a very special guest has joined Mia, Holly and Jessie in the studio: it’s New York Times Best Selling author Sally Hepworth!

The recent Instagram stories of former Home and Away actor Isobel Lucas at an anti-vax rally has us wondering if we should stop following problematic people and topics on social media, or if it’s better to keep tabs on them.

Plus, the subtle way everyone is introducing a new partner into their lives.

And, is it a problem for plastic surgeons to share videos of gory procedures on their social platforms? And if so, why can’t we stop watching?

We’ve noticed some weird vibes coming from Chris Pratt lately, most recently in a birthday Instagram post to his wife that barely mentioned his wife, and sparked backlash about the way he described his daughter.

Plus we’ve got the details on the horror crowd surge that killed eight people during Travis Scott’s festival set in Texas. And, The Quicky host, Claire Murphy talks us through how she has become a successful morning person in more ways than one.

On Wednesday, we were part of the chorus of relief and delight at a missing girl being found alive after 18 days. Since then, there have been paparazzi outside Cleo Smith's house, pictures of her first days of freedom, a meeting between the family and the WA Premier. Cleo's family will be bombarded with media offers, many with price tags, but is this a time when the media should be leaving the Smiths alone? Do we feel like we're owed something because of the emotion we've invested in this story? 

Plus, Celeste Barber, Em Rata, and a row about internalised misogyny.

And, our best and worst of the week, which includes a very embarrassing Prime Minister and Joe Rogan.

Most of us awoke to some amazing news this morning, that four-year-old Cleo Smith has been found alive and well. It’s the story that has gripped most of the country for the last two weeks, and after 18 days, it's the headline we were praying for. But how did we become so unaccustomed to good news?

Plus, has getting dressed up and going to the races become...uncool? The cultural shift of celebrities snubbing The Cup.

Former NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has made an appearance at the ICAC investigation into whether or not she breached public trust, and turned a blind eye to alleged corrupt behaviour by her ex-partner. Two camps have formed in the court of public opinion,  The ‘poor Gladys, everyone’s had a bad boyfriend’ team and the ‘she knew exactly what she was doing’ side. We're divided.

Last week, actor/comedian/writer Jonah Hill posted something on social media that went viral. Something about his body, and people's fascination with its changed shape. The substance of his post is about common sense, but for some, it's an entirely alien idea - that you should never comment on someone’s body. Ever.

Yesterday, Australia lost someone very, very significant. The self-proclaimed Happiest Man On Earth - Eddie Jaku.  Eddie was 101 years old, a best-selling author, a holocaust survivor, and a German-born Jew whose parents were murdered in the gas chambers of Auschwitz. Eddie’s mission was to teach people not to hate. It’s beyond ironic then, that also yesterday, an Australian influencer dressed her family up in yellow stars, supposedly to represent the Star of David that Jewish people in Nazi-occupied Europe were forced to wear. So what was her message? And why is it such a lazy and dangerous comparison?

Plus, we need to talk about Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly’s latest interview. Are they 2021's answer to Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton? 

And should we stop telling women they have imposter syndrome?

The End Bits:

We need to talk about the incredible shake-up that’s happened in NSW politics in the last week, and if you’re not from NSW, we promise you'll still want to know about it. Gladys Berejiklian, like any state premier, has been incredibly divisive this year. The Delta outbreak in NSW has resulted in hundreds of deaths, but just as we are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel, Berejiklian's resignation has shocked people across the country. 

Plus, a listener dilemma that sparked some VERY strong reactions. 

And... Is the female libido is having a moment? How is Gwyneth Paltrow jumping on the bandwagon?

We promised Holly this would never see the light of day, but things change. Sorry Holly! Mia turned 50 on Friday so we're dropping a special treat from our Out Loud Daily Drop feed to celebrate. 

In June, Jessie stole the mics and pressed Mia and Holly on their thoughts and feelings about turning 50 in coming months. Unsurprisingly, things get candid.

There’s a lot of public attention this week around Jessica Rowe. The former TV presenter now has an interview podcast, and this week’s episode featured Pauline Hanson. Within a day of being published, the podcast was removed, so what does it tell us about how we platform particular voices in the mainstream media? 

Plus, there’s a new set of dating rules that might just come in handy for when we are free to go and rub up against each other again. 

And our best and worst that, as always, veers from the very serious to… furniture socks.

We've found Kate Middleton and frankly, she looks amazing. Princess Kate officially put an end to rumours she was missing (or pregnant) by attending last night's London premiere of the new James Bond movie. She brought the kind of glam energy we're all hoping to imitate on the other side of Sydney's lockdown and we just need to talk about that dress.

Plus, would you feel betrayed if you found out a partner had been saving money in secret, just in case you ever break up?

And we need to talk about the marriage of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith.

Families are falling out on social media and there are friends going quiet in the group chat, as the divide between the vaccinated and unvaccinated widens. As we approach Christmas, is it possible to bridge these gaps, can friendships broken in the pandemic be repaired? 

Dating apps have people describing their interests as “dismantling the patriarchy” and “eating the rich”. But what does that… really mean? 

And a very candid conversation about picnics.

Everyone has become momentarily obsessed with two ridiculously conventionally attractive women - Megan Fox and Kourtney Kardashian. This week they revealed they're starring in a new campaign for Kim K’s very successful underwear brand, Skimms. Are they defying our puritanical and repressed notions of what a MOTHER should be? What does their Skimms photoshoot tell us about performed sexuality and the male gaze? 

Plus, have you seen the hashtag #75Hard doing the rounds? What is it, why is it toxic, and how are we rebelling against it?

And… our best and worst of the week, including the story of a young Sydney man called Nicholas Drummond, and the 'next big thing'.

Riots and earthquakes and covid, oh my. Melbourne, you’re having a very extra week. We're attempting to unpack and explain the recent riots in the city of Melbourne. Are the tradies really to blame?

Plus, as more and more artists identify as non-binary, where does that leave the very binary categories of awards shows?

It’s the story that could be the plot of a movie, but at its center is a 22-year-old woman named Gabby Petitro, whose remains have just been found. Should we be careful about obsessing over true crime stories in real-time?

Plus, there’s a new movement on Instagram that helps you pretend you’ve been to places you haven’t been and done things you haven’t done. Is this leveling the playing field, or just a big con?  

And, today many places are celebrating the return of a troubled sporting legend to the spotlight - but is it way too soon to forget what he did?

Happy Sunday Outlouders! Dropping into your feed this weekend to share Jessie's new podcast, Cancelled, a comedy podcast that investigates and analyses cancel culture. It's silly, it's funny, this episode is about Pete Evans. We hope you love it.


Welcome to Cancelled, Mamamia’s podcast that unpacks what happens to celebrities once the world turns on them. Every Tuesday Jessie & Clare Stephens discuss who’s in, who’s out and who cares, and this episode? Pete Evans enters the courtroom.

His crimes?

Too many for just one episode! Pete's crimes will be covered across two trials.

In this episode, the evidence includes activating almonds and wasting experts' time.

What will be his sentence?

You might’ve seen pictures of packed beaches across Sydney over the weekend, and you’d be forgiven for thinking they could’ve been taken before lockdown. It's highlighted an all too familiar divide between those who can, and those who cannot, depending on where they live. But this isn’t a scene only locked down Sydneysiders are familiar with. The weekend's 'beach shaming' speaks to how we’ve all enjoyed different privileges at different stages over the past 18 months, and how freedom has never been linear as we learn to live with Covid.

Plus, people are having a lot of feelings about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s official red carpet reunion. Why?

And why is talking about exercise so very… uncomfortable?

If you work in an office setting, WFH or not you’re probably still having many, many, many meetings. They’re a necessary evil. But have you ever wondered how you can appear smarter in meetings? Jessie has done some research and she shares it with us today…

Plus, ABBA are officially making a comeback, but why are they being de-aged?

Have you heard of 'The Shadow Pandemic'?  Some people posting about it are concerned about the mental health of young people right now. Some are silent on the subject of vaccinations. Some are anti masks. The term itself has become incredibly loaded. Is this just the new more palatable way to be anti lockdown? Are we using the mental health of children to push an agenda? Or can two things be true at the same time?

Plus, can’t seem to stop online shopping right now? Welcome to the endless pit of desire.

Has being a female pop star in 2021 become unbearable? Three pop icons - Lorde, Billie Eilish, and Lizzo -  have released new albums this month. They all paint a pretty dark picture of the damage caused by fame and the lengths they’ve had to go to protect themselves from it. But what happens when we compare them to someone like Kanye West?

Plus, Holly is trying to sell us on the silver lining of pandemic parenting.

And Zoe Foster Blake has built a business worth $171 million dollars… is she the perfect entrepreneur for our times?

The kids are not alright and Mia is pufferfish-ing about it. This morning, the WA head of the Australian Medical Association described opening up the country (once 80 percent of adults are vaccinated) as "bordering on child abuse." But is that really true?

And, our (self-appointed) self-help guru Jessie has some advice about how to make your workday more productive.

Today, Australia is pufferfish-ing. We’ve been patient. We’ve been resilient. We’ve been sad and we’ve been strong, but today? Today we are just really pissed off. So, we need to vent. The big and the small. It's what Australians need over the next few days. A moment to vent.

There were so many highlights at the Olympic Games over the weekend, with Emma McKeon sitting at the top of that list. The 27-year-old from Wollongong has been catapulted from 'highly respected swimmer' to celebrity/household name status.

Has Australia learned any lessons from the way we've treated past Olympians?

Thousands of anti-lockdown protesters marched in major Australian cities over the weekend. It’s estimated at least 3500 people marched through Sydney, amidst the Delta outbreak there, in what’s being described as a ‘super spreader event.’ So how are we feeling, was this the final straw? And what do those who rallied at these protests really believe, and why?

Yesterday, you would have been hard-pressed to miss a pretty shocking 'mansplaining' moment from a press conference happening over in Japan. It came after the news that Brisbane will host the 2032 Olympics. During what should be a time of celebration, why do we feel sorry for Annastacia Palaszczuk today? 

Plus, resilience has become a bit of a buzzword. But sometimes, it’s the smallest things that can help us through the shitty times, and today, we’re talking about what that means to us… and you.

Hey Outlouders. Dropping this No Filter episode into your feed in case you need it this week. It's all about resilience, something many of us are struggling with right now. If you are, sending love.

Hugh van Cuylenberg’s job is to teach resilience. He was a primary school teacher volunteering in Northern India when he had a life-changing realisation. Despite the underprivileged community, the children were from, they were remarkably positive. But back in Australia? Well, people found it hard to be happy and they had so much.

Which is how The Resilience Project came to life. He learned that there are three key traits and behaviours that are the keys to resilience. And now he teaches it to others at conferences, in his podcast, The Imperfects, and in his book called The Resilience Project.

So if you’re feeling a bit shit right now - or you’ve ever felt a bit shit - this one is for you.

THE END BITS:

With thanks to Hugh van Cuylenburg. You can find out more about him here: https://theresilienceproject.com.au/ 

Find his book, The Resilience Project at any good bookstore.

Everyone is talking about the covid vaccine TV ads. These are our first look at the long-awaited campaign by the government to encourage more Australians to get vaccinated and they dropped yesterday. Two very different ads, but they've been universally panned. Why have they caused such backlash?

Plus, we need to talk about Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and… not Samantha. We have a lot of feelings about the first look at the Sex And The City reboot. 

And, an unpopular opinion about overthinkers.

It's been a week, so we're talking about some of the news headlines that brought us joy over the past few days. Surprisingly, many of them involve sport. 

We need to talk about the phenomenon best known as the PICK ME GIRL. Lucy and Em spoke about it recently on the Undone podcast. It's all over YouTube and Tik Tok, and like most terms that include the word ‘girl’, it’s a term of derision. Jessie explains why you do not want to be a pick-me girl.

Plus, Mia and Jessie have received an overwhelming response after the release of this No Filter episode. We talk through why it touched so many listeners, and when it's important to tell other people's stories. 

And, our best and worst of the week, including new and old friends and corn fritters gone wrong.

An elite private school in Sydney has sparked controversy after NSW Health arranged for Pfizer jabs for 160 Year 12 students. People are furious, but the story points to a wider conversation happening in group chats all over the country which sounds a bit like; Is there a queue? And if I CAN get my jab… even though it’s not technically my turn… SHOULD I? 

Plus, It’s 2021, we’re all wringing our hands about Britney Spears and yet one of the biggest celebrities in the world is pleading with the paparazzi to leave her baby alone.

And, we’re more than halfway through the year, if you can believe it, so we’re checking in on our ‘Words of the Year’

Jessie needs to rant. It's about the social media eruption of anger towards too many people out and about amidst a lockdown. While we bunker down, unable to see relatives overseas, missing out on weddings and births and all the rest, COVID has found its way, once again, into aged care homes. So, is shaming people for going on a beach walk really the hill we want to die on?

Plus, an Olympian has been banned from the Games for using a non-performance enhancing drug. Is that fair enough, or an outdated judgement?

And is cellulite - and giving a shit about it - a thing of the past?

Did you miss the Four Corners special on Scomo and QAnon? We watched it so you don't have to, and we're breaking down the controversial investigation to tell you if you really should be outraged.

Plus, we need to talk about Lorde's Bum. It's divided us. After the singer dropped her first song in 4 years, Mia thinks it's the single's cover art that everyone is talking about, not the amazing song she wrote. Holly and Jessie think it's a bold and empowered statement. Why can't we look away, and what does it mean? 

And, what is birth control counselling? A new trial could see pharmacists offer private birth control counselling to young women who turn up wanting to purchase emergency contraception. So how would it actually work? And what has the reaction to it been?

No show today for the public holiday, instead, we wanted to give you an episode of the latest season of Extraordinary Stories. It's the podcast that dives deep on the stories you thought you knew, told by the women who really do, and it's hosted by the producer of Mamamia Out Loud, Emma Gillespie. Extraordinary Stories is available exclusive to MPlus members, head to mamamia.com.au/mplus or download the Mamamia app to find out more 

-

In this season of Extraordinary Stories, we’re taking a closer look at the women who married into America’s most influential family, the Kennedy’s. From incredible triumph to unspeakable loss, these women weren’t just on the sidelines of history, they were living it. Whilst it may be their husband’s names inked in modern textbooks, some of the most extraordinary stories of their time belong to the women. Jacqueline Bouvier, Ethel Skakel and Carolyn Bessette. In our first episode, we're starting with the woman whose pink Chanel suit and pillbox hat is imprinted memories around the world. Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy Onassis.

The Biloela Family. It's the story we can't look away from this week. What is going on, more importantly, why, and how can this be happening in Australia? 

Plus, two of the shows everyone’s obsessed with at the moment tell us something about the kind of people we want to see on screens at the moment - It’s the rise of the self-care anti-hero. 

And, does toxic femininity exist? What does it really mean, and how is it impacted by toxic masculinity? Are women raised to hate each other?

Plus, Jessie and her twin sister Clare were sick of getting asked if they were really fraternal twins, and not identical. So they went and got a DNA test and they're calling their mum, live on the show, to tell her the news.

Aussie singer/songwriter Missy Higgins appeared on Anh Do's Brush With Fame this week. She spoke about the pressure put on her at a young age by the media, and her fans, to put a label on her sexuality. Artists should be able to say what’s off-limits, but has our understanding of sexuality and fluidity evolved enough since then?

Plus, What is FUN? Apart from a bit of an ick word. How important is fun in our lives, and why are women kind of… bad at it?

We talked about Naomi Osaka on Monday but a lot has happened since her announcement she'd be boycotting post-match press conferences. The tennis star pulled out of the French Open and revealed her mental health struggles off the back of poor treatment at the 2018 US Open. In light of these revelations, how have our opinions, and opinions around the world shifted?

Plus, have you ever felt like a background friend? How do you know if you are one, and can you change it?

And, a young woman on TikTok has shared a terrifying list of "rules" that her boyfriend's mother posted on her socials. It inspired Mia to throw down list of her own. Does Jessie cut the mustard?

Tennis star Naomi Osaka has made headlines around the world, after announcing her refusing to carry out post-match press conferences, for her own mental health. It's a decision that's left the tennis world divided. Is this a case of one athlete securing themselves an unfair advantage? Or is it opening up a conversation about the relationship between the role of the media and the emotional wellbeing of elite athletes?

Plus, if you’re the leader of a Covid-ravaged nation and the sound of people saying you’re terrible at your job is getting deafening...how about distracting them with a little wedding? Welcome to Boris Johnson’s weekend nuptials.

Victoria is back in lockdown. It's an all too familiar scene but this time around, the people are mad. Is the latest Melbourne outbreak a timely reminder of the tenterhooks we're living on? Could it have been avoided with a more efficient vaccine rollout?

“Here we go again” is what many Melburnians have been saying to each other over the last 24 hours. 15 new cases of Covid have been reported, after a cluster broke out in the city's north. It’s got us talking once again, about vaccines, and the need to roll them out as quickly and as broadly as possible. But almost one-third of adult Australians are vaccine hesitant. Why?

Plus, we're talking boundaries; the “rules” you put around yourself, and it could be about work, or relationships, or friendship, or kids, that mark where it’s okay to go, and where it isn’t.  Apparently, they are a major key to happiness. But are they an act of self-care? Or just plain selfish?

And, According to an article published in The Guardian this week, psychologists have found that there is a general sense of mistrust and even anger towards people who are trying to do good things. So, what's our problem with nice people?

In case you missed it, there have been some important changes to the Covid vaccine rollout around the country. Our newshound, Fauziah Ibrahim, breaks it down for us. Who's impacted? When will we get immunized? What are the concerns around the Astrazeneca jab?

Plus, Gwyneth Paltrow shared some tips on how to apply SPF and it didn’t go down… well, while an ABC article is doing the rounds, highlighting the personal journey of someone called Duleesha, who was reportedly asked by HR  to change her name to something "more Australian."

And, our best and worst of the week, including a long plane ride and a family reunion.

You might’ve seen or read about a picture of Khloe Kardashian doing the rounds online this week. It's after the juggernaut Kardashian PR machine worked tirelessly to remove all traces of the image, which was apparently posted without Khloe's consent. The whole debacle has us wondering, have the Kardashians created a body and beauty standard even they can’t live up to? 

Plus, what is a 'digital leash'? Unions are pushing to let workers untether themselves from the job after hours, but is that a good thing?

And, it's been 20 years since Bridget Jones's Diary hit cinemas around the world. How do we feel about Bridget, two decades on?

You might have read about a big ship over the last week. A very big, very stuck ship. On Tuesday of last week, a 400 meter long, 200,000-tonne ship became wedged across the Suez Canal, in Egypt. So why is this a news story? And why can't we stop laughing at the memes it's generated? 

Plus, a couples counselor claims that the most common reason couples fall out of love and stop being intimate is because of a pursuer-distancer dynamic that develops over time. So what does it mean if you're the pursuer or the distancer in your relationships, romantic or otherwise? 

And, is botox the new baseline of beauty standards?

This is a bad-news free show! We're taking a hiatus from the news cycle that continues to depress us, and today's episode is a place of joy. Starting with Meghan Markle. No, we're not done talking about the Oprah interview...But what has she taught us about in-laws? 

Plus, you’re not lazy. Your productivity is just based on your chronotype. So what the hell is a chronotype and what does it have to do with your circadian rhythm? 

And, our best and worst of the week.

For what feels like the last 100 episodes, we have led the show with the topic of sexual assault. And we’re sick of it. We’re not sick that women are talking about it, but we’re sick of nothing changing. So what next?

Plus, Prince Harry has a day job. It's his first office gig, which has left us wondering, does he know how to use email? Make a spreadsheet? Will he have regular catch-ups with his manager? Can you even IMAGINE having Prince Harry as a colleague?

And, what is ‘brain octane oil,’ and why is it part of Orlando Bloom’s morning routine?

Unprecedented. Once in 100 years. Never-before-seen. These are the terms Australians are becoming very, very sick of. So what's it like for residents on the NSW mid-north coast who have battled drought, fire, the pandemic, and now, floods? We speak to an Outlouder on the ground as extreme conditions continue around the country.

Plus, Cardi B has a message for anyone who thinks she’s a bad influence on their kids. What role do entertainers play, if any, when it comes to being good role models? 

And, what happens when a woman with a husband and children goes on domestic strike?

The reckoning at Parliament House has broken out of the Coalition Cabinet and gone bipartisan. Who is Nicole Flint? What is she asking of the opposition leader? And what are the women of Australia asking men around the country to do right now?

Plus, are Gen Z all about “commitment culture” as an act of rebellion against "hookup culture?" And if so, why? Is it optimism and romance, or for content and more followers? 

And, Mia’s floating an unpopular opinion about Prince Harry and Meghan. Can you have sympathy for Meghan and Harry AND have sympathy for William and Kate?

Today 100,000 women across the country are marching. They're marching because they're angry. They're marching because they're tired. They're marching because they've had enough. We've had enough. Mia, Holly and Jessie tell us what it was like to be at today's March4Justice rally in Sydney, taking us through what it's all about, why today, and what change we're hoping it will bring.

Plus, one of the biggest stories in the world right now begins with the name Sarah Everard.  Sarah was 33 years old when she disappeared on March 3, whilst walking home in South London. So what do you need to know about the Reclaim These Streets marches? 

And, one of the Outlouders is feeling 'triggered' by Mamamia's new podcast, What The Finance. Hearing about money values and the shame many women experience when it comes to finance has got Holly revealing what she calls her 'feminist failing.'

How complicit are you in the bullying of female celebrities? In light of Meghan’s Oprah interview, the Britney doco and the re-examination of the way the media has treated high-profile women from Princess Diana to Lindsay Lohan, a new movement is brewing. It’s being called a new phase of #metoo - and tagged #hertoo.

Everyone’s talking about Piers Morgan. The English broadcaster, journalist, and television host of Good Morning Britain has quit his host role after 6 years in the job, following backlash for his comments about Meghan Markle, in the wake of the Oprah interview.

Plus, Kylie Moore-Gilbert has spoken out after being released from an Iranian prison last year, where the academic spent 800 days locked up. But when Moore-Gilbert came back to Australia she learnt, whilst in hotel quarantine, that her husband was having an affair, with one of her colleagues.

And, is your life in constant need of a good edit? On Monday, Sam Armytage resigned from her job as the co-host of Sunrise after eight years. She said  “My mother used to say to me, ‘edit your life frequently and ruthlessly. It is your masterpiece after all,’ and that’s precisely what I’m doing,” What does that mean? What does editing your life look like?

It's International Women's Day! While every day at Mamamia is IWD, we're shining a spotlight on what we feel like celebrating today; how far we've come, whilst remembering how far we still have to go.

Plus, are the clothes you have that don't fit you toxic? Radio host Mel Grieg told Australian women to throw out their so-called “skinny clothes” on the weekend, and it’s sparked a conversation about the toxicity of holding on to that section of the wardrobe that no longer serves you.

And, a listener dilemma about an engagement ring.

Everyone is talking about last night's episode of Married At First Sight. Jessie recaps the MAFS hotness rating. For a show we don't expect much from, even this was a new low.

Plus, every true-crime podcast junkie’s dreams are coming true right now, but has our obsession with detail taken humanity out of the Melissa Caddick case? Whichever way you look at it, a 15-year-old boy has lost his mother. 

And, Mia needs to talk about Hilaria Baldwin. Yesterday she announced on Instagram that she’s welcomed her second baby in five months. Hilaria - who you may know as Hilary, Boston-born and bred but with an inexplicable Spanish accent - confused the heck out of the Internet when she posted a photo of her on a bed holding a newborn baby while surrounded by all her children.

In case you missed it, a lot of news came out of Canberra over the weekend, more has emerged today and none of it is good. You may have heard or read bits of information but it's pretty confusing, so we recap what's going on. 

Plus, everyone’s talking about Prince Harry’s bus ride around LA with James Corden. Is the charm offensive working? And was Archie's first word really 'crocodile'? 

And, you might have seen Jonah Hill’s name in the headlines. The actor has spoken out against fat-shaming, following the publication of shirtless photographs of him.

THE END BITS

Everyone is talking about high school boys, after the head prefect at Cranbrook Senior School stood in front of a full assembly and told his mates they need to change their attitudes to women. But on the show today, we discuss whether or not single-sex education plays a role.

Plus, Australia is going back to work. Sydney’s CBD is apparently now back at 65% of its pre-COVID capacity. Melbourne is moving quickly towards a 75% plan. Brisbane’s been back for a while… and we’ve definitely forgotten some of the things that happen in an office.

And, our best and worst of the week.

There’s a growing movement of people choosing to get up earlier and earlier - they say they are “shunning sleep for a better self," and call themselves the 5:30 Club. No, it's not an after-work crowd, it's a 5:30 am thing.

Plus, vaccines are here and we’re starting a new chapter in COVID history. But will we ever see a “vaccine passport” here in Australia?

And… we need to talk about Gwyneth. She's claiming she started face masks. Not sheet masks, we're talking about the kind front-line workers, and now people all around the world wear every day, as part of the new normal.

Kimye are over. Not many of us are shocked but there are plenty of us who care. They WERE pop culture, so where are we without them?

Plus, In Case You Missed It, on Thursday night a former student of a private girls school started a poll on her Instagram. She asked, "If you live in Sydney: have you or has anyone close to you ever experienced sexual assault from someone who went to an all-boys school?" Within 24 hours, she received nearly 300 responses, with 73 percent of them saying yes.

And, the Covid-19 vaccinations have begun rolling out around the country. Will Australians go to the same lengths as some Americans have to get it? Two women in Florida dressed up as grannies to get the jab.

The Quicky's Claire Murphy takes us through all the things we need to know about Facebook banning Aussies from accessing and sharing news on the social media platform. What does it mean for media companies, what does it mean for social media users, snf what does it mean on a global scale?

Plus, we're looking more closely at the toxic culture of Australian Politics and why so many women can relate, off the back of allegations a former liberal staffer was sexually assaulted in a parliamentary office.

And, our best and worst of the week, including the TikTok pasta, a photoshoot, and a very beepy car.

Chestfeeding. What is it? A story started in the UK recently, talking about how doctors there are changing the way they speak to their parents. The stories suggest that the term “breast-feeding” should be changed to “chest-feeding” and that the words “Mothers’ milk” be replaced by “human milk”. Predictably, the internet got very upset, but many have missed the point completely. Holly explains why this is a story about inclusion, not exclusion.

Plus, we discuss 'As A Father'....

And, have you watched Firefly Lane? It's the latest from Netflix that Mia loves to hate. It's got us thinking about female friendship and the 'hype girl' friend or the 'life coach' friend. Does every woman need their own 'Tully'? Maybe you are one.

Our Outlouders in Victoria have told us what they're doing and how they're feeling after news of a five-day lockdown last week. Health authorities say it’s still too early to tell if this snap lockdown has worked, but today there was only one new locally transmitted case of COVID-19. 

Plus, after we spoke about him on Friday’s show, Justin Timberlake apologised for being Teflon in the face of scandal, and we are taking full credit. It's started a conversation about what gets a woman “canceled”, compared to a man, as we look at the lives of people like Lindsay Lohan compared to Robert Downey Jr. 

And, the 6 signs you’re officially ‘old’, according to Gen Z.

Is Justin Timberlake Cancelled? On Wednesday we discussed Framing Britney Spears, the new New York Times documentary, and one theme that has emerged is the role Justin Timberlake played in Britney’s story.

Plus, we all know about burnout. It’s something we experience at varying stages of our lives and careers, but what about the kind of burnout that comes from being dissatisfied? Groundhog burnout is the type of burnout you get from feeling incredibly unfulfilled, rather than the physical burnout of the demands from your life.

And, our best and worst of the week including pillows and toilet paper.

Everyone is talking about Britney Spears, after the release of a new documentary. Holly talks about her days in tabloid magazines and admits her industry was complicit in the toxic Britney frenzy. Jessie asks, have we really changed? 

Plus, Sex Nostalgia is the term Mia has coined off the back of Kelly McCaren's Bridgerton article. Do people in relationships mourn the sex lives they used to have or is it more a question of mourning your youth?

And, A listener dilemma about a side-effect of lazy contact tracing.

Is it time to rethink hotel quarantine? It’s been just short of a year since anyone who arrived in Australia from overseas has had to undergo two weeks of mandatory quarantine in a specific hotel, only to be released after two negative COVID test results. The process is coming under review, while today there's more news of hotel quarantine workers testing positive, and a person in NSW who tested positive for the virus, two days after finishing hotel quarantine.

Plus, Hilaria Baldwin is back in the headlines after she was exposed as...not being a Spanish person, earlier in the year. At first, Hilaria basically said… 'I’m sorry you got confused and assumed I was born in Spain.' But now, a month later, she’s come out with an apology on Instagram. Did she owe us the apology and...is it problematic to pretend to be Spanish?

And, when Gladys Berejiklian joined Mia on No Filter this week, she revealed her life has ended up in a very different place than she imagined when she was twenty. What assumptions do we make about powerful women, and what is the difference between child free by choice, and childless by circumstance?

Yesterday, the Golden Globes nominations were released and it’s a firm… no. From everyone. But one piece of commentary that’s emerged is begging us to stop "hate binging" shows like Emily in Paris. Are these nominations entirely our fault? And how do we feel about award shows without the glitz and glam of the red carpet, how relevant are they in a post-covid context?

Plus, Emily Vernem joins us to talk about Dating Burnout. There isn't really a space in society for single people who go through the loss of almost-relationships, but sometimes they can hurt just as much as full-blown breakups.

And, our best & worst of the week, including a Premier, sewage, dogs and birthdays.

There’s a name you might have been hearing a lot this week. Craig Kelly. He's a federal Liberal Party MP whose areas of special interest are vaccine skepticism and climate-change denial.

Plus, there’s been a turn in the #metoo stories we’re hearing in 2021 and it’s unveiling some horrifying stories about famous men. This week, there’s a new one. Marilyn Manson.

And, can you imagine having slept through the entire pandemic? One 19-year-old in the UK has done just that, after emerging from an 11-month coma. Now his family has to try and explain the Coronavirus to him, even though he himself has recovered from it...twice.

As most of WA is returned to lockdown for the next five days, we're talking about a brand of vaccine hesitancy emerging in women of a certain age. 

Plus, over the last couple of days, you might have heard the words GAME STOP bandied about as if you’re meant to know about what it is. Jessie explains how we can wrap our heads around it. 

And, the new Sex And The City reboot is going to deal with COVID. Of course. What do we think about our escapist pleasures being dragged into the real world? Could S&TC in lockdown be interesting with no sex and no city? How do we feel when covid enters our fiction/entertainment?

Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles are dating and it's another case of the internet having lots of opinions about two famous people getting together. Olivia is being hammered for dating a younger man and we think she's receiving a special brand of hatred reserved only for single mothers. 

Plus, an article was recently published in the Sydney Morning Herald by Madonna King, titled: “My friend, she’s really skinny, I need to lose weight”. The teenage angst swamping 10 year old girls. King’s new book ‘Ten-Ager’ has just been released and is all about what our daughters need to know about the transition from child to teen. But it's not only interesting if you're a mother, but it's also interesting for anyone who was once a 10 year old, and it's got us thinking about how the fears of young girls are amplified for a generation who were born in the age of iPhones and Instagram.

And, our best and worst of the week, including Mia's new piercings.

An all-female lineup has been recognised in each of the Australian of the Year categories for 2021. We discuss the impact of the four amazing women honoured and, in particular, the strength and courage of Australian of the Year, abuse survivor Grace Tame. 

Plus, an image is doing the rounds, an animated picture of what the remote worker will apparently look like in 25 years. She's a middle-aged woman named Susan and frankly, she's terrifying. Is it a wake-up call to change our working from home habits? 

And, the Errand Friend is someone you're so comfortable with, they can tag along while you run errands because you just want to hang out with each other. Have you got one? Are you one?

It's been an entire year since someone in Australia first tested positive for the Coronavirus.  Holly poses the question, imagining where we were 12 months ago, has the COVID impact been better or worse than you imagined?

Plus, a famous 21-year-old has a new tattoo and it says a lot about young love. Brooklyn Beckham is the eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham and his latest tribute to his fiance, in the form of something very permanent, has Holly and Jessie divided.

And, the Order of Australia list… every year there’s controversy around who gets an accolade, and with Margaret Court getting an upgrade on her Order of Australia this year, one other recipient is handing theirs back.

Vanessa Sierra is the 26-year-old girlfriend, and now coach, of tennis bad boy, Bernard Tomic. The pair are in quarantine and Vanessa Sierra has given an insight into what life in hotel quarantine is really like and the people? The people are NOT pleased with her. 

Plus, having kids only affects your work life in the baby stages, right? Well, no. When radio host Jane Kennedy stepped down from her job this week saying her teen and adult kids needed her around more, it got a lot of people asking, when do kids need you the most?

And, Revenge Bedtime Procrastination, what is it? And are you doing it? We bet you are.

We're back! And a lot has happened since we last spoke. 

America gets a new president this week, so Holly is taking us through the current climate in Washington and across the U.S. Trump has been taken off Twitter, so what's next?

Plus, we're kicking off the New Year with a Please Explain: WTF is going on with Armie Hammer? You might have seen that a Hollywood actor is being accused of… cannibalism. Jessie tells us what we know so far, and why it's a lot more sinister than some creepy DMs.

And, the things we were obsessed with over the break, from a Netflix smash hit to a fake Spanish accent.

It’s the first day of 2021 and that means it's time for our Word Of The Year episode!

New Year's resolutions are notorious for falling over, so instead, every year we choose a word to set an intention for the year ahead of us. There's no pass or fail, word of the year is about creating a focus or filter for the months, decisions and moments to come. 

Holly, Jessie and Mia look back at their words from last year before taking us through the new word to shape the mood of the 365 days to come. 

Listen to find out and share your word of the year in our Outlouders Facebook Group or on Instagram, @mamamiaoutloud

Jessie is back with one of her famous recaps to take Mia, Holly, and the rest of us through the strange, scary, and surreal that was 2020. From fires and a global pandemic at the start, to an election and new hope towards the end, we've laughed together and cried (lots) together. So here it is, our recap of the year.

A column appeared in the Wall Street Journal earlier this week suggesting Dr. Jill Biden should drop her ‘honorific,’ the ‘doctor’ part of her title…It was sexist and stupid but is there a grain of truth in the broader message? Or is it a classic case of tall poppy syndrome? 

Plus, UK beauty icon Caroline Hirons had a relatively common “journey” to her ADHD diagnosis. Meaning, she didn’t get one until one of her kids was diagnosed with it. But some of the characteristics she outlined on a recent No Filter ep had many of us thinking..."Wait, that's me!"

And, Em has admitted to ghosting a friend after they got into a relationship, while Mia reflects on what it's like to be on the other side, after being ghosted by a friend this year. Is it better to know why? Would you rather be cut off, or is a 'soft' ghosting the kind way to let someone down easy?

Holly explains Kim K's push over the weekend to save a man from death row. The reality juggernaut turned criminal justice activist counted down with her 68 million Twitter followers as Brandon Bernard's chance at clemency dwindled.

Plus, do you talk to strangers? Apparently, Gen Z never does and some people say that’s the reason anxiety/mental health issues are so high in younger people.

And, the beer and puppy test: A fail-safe way to work out if you trust someone with two simple questions

We're dropping into your feed to share an awesome episode of our new podcast, What I Eat When, with you: https://omny.fm/shows/what-i-eat-when/playlists/what-i-eat-when 

What do you eat when... you're alone? You're homesick? You're celebrating?

What you eat when says a lot about you, about your culture, your taste, your family, and what matters to you. Food is so much more than just fuel, it’s an excuse to express who we are and what connects us.

What I Eat When is a Mamamia podcast that’s all about meals, moments, and memories. And on our first episode host Silvia Colloca is joined by self-confessed 'Crap Housewife' Jessica Rowe. 

So what does Jess eat when she's on holiday? Or when she's pregnant?

And why does she match her hats with the dinner she's making? 

Although she doesn't like cooking, as she explains to Silvia, she still likes eating. And food holds a lot of memories for her. As you're about to find out...

An article on GOOP has turned the idea of 'not being busy' into a badge of honour. But is it an enormous privilege to not be busy? Is busyness really a choice and are some people just busy as a personality trait? Parents, in particular, have no choice about busyness.

Plus, our resident Dating Expert Em Vernem shares a Cosmo list with us, about 'how to tell if someone likes you'. The list is made up of different dating habits, plenty which made us roll our eyes, but a few were interesting.

And, our best and worst of the week, including a shout out to teachers everywhere and a nasty note on Jessie's car.

Vagina sunning has become a thing, after a Brazilian model caused a stir on social media, for suggesting you should engage in a practice that would involve exposing your...erm...bits...to some vitamin D. If this sounds familiar it’s because just last year butthole sunning, which is the official term, became a fixture of wellness culture. Influencers claimed that exposing your butt can greatly improve energy levels and sleep patterns.

What if, instead of calling people out, we called them IN? A professor in the U.S is working with young people to re-structure the cancel culture narrative and encourage more open discussion. "Calling in is like calling out, but done privately and with respect." Mia and the team discuss.

Plus, Jessie goes rogue and talks about rats, you've been warned.

The sexual assault trial against former rugby league star Jarryd Hayne and the rape trial against Jack De Belin are back in the spotlight as their court cases continue. While their guilt is for a judge to decide, there are some undisputed details emerging from these cases that are worth a closer look. Off the back of a powerful article by Jessie, the Outlouders discuss the porn pandemic and where it goes wrong for these men and so many sports stars like them.

Plus, we’re talking about The Crown again. But this time, not about royalty. This season of the show features a woman almost as famous as Princess Diana but much less adored - Margaret Thatcher. 

And, are women over forty making mistakes with make-up? A Mamamia piece that went viral over the weekend says yes.

It’s been a week for arguments about who gets to play who on stage and on screen in 2020. A Sydney production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch has been postponed after actor Hugh Sheridan was cast as the title character, while Sia has faced backlash after posting the trailer for her first feature film, Music, starring Maddie Ziegler as a young girl who has non-verbal autism.

Plus, the theme of motherhood is the main focus of episode four of the new season of The Crown and in particular, the idea of having a favourite child. Margaret Thatcher reveals to the Queen her ‘favourite’ child, her son, is missing. The Queen is taken aback by the concept, and we then hear her reaction in this discussion with Phillip - who argues any honest parent does have a favourite. So what does it mean to have a favourite or be the favourite and does every parent really have a preference?

And, over the weekend, two Sydney hospitality owners lashed out at “whinging, self entitled, young workers,” calling a work-life-balance “one of the most dangerous terms young people have been introduced to.”

Looking for something to listen to this weekend? Why not check out our new podcast The Undone...https://omny.fm/shows/the-undone/dating-in-your-20s 

Let’s be honest. When you’re in your 20s, everything feels complicated… which is where The Undone comes in, Mamamia's new podcast for people in their 20s.

Meet Emily and Lucy. They work at Mamamia and they live together in the inner city. They spend their days trying to work out how to turn the oven on, why their dating lives are such garbage fires, and why sometimes their tiny daily struggles seem just as insurmountable as the world’s biggest problems. Every week on The Undone they’ll be sharing dating stories and talking about the biggest issue in their world, because... nothing is simple in your 20s. 

On the show today, Luce and Em discuss whether or not you should be in a long-term relationship in your 20s. 

Plus, what happens when a date turns out to have a fetish for your heritage?

You might have noticed Pete Evans has been back in the headlines this week, after he posted a Nazi symbol on his social media. Mia explains why we're lifting our Pete ban to talk about his latest controversy. 

Plus, the 8 hour workday was a concept thought up by one man 100 years ago, so why have we barely questioned it since? A burnout coach has gone viral on TikTok for highlighting the origins of the 8 hour working day, suggesting the framework is tragically outdated.

Plus, Angie Kent appeared on the cover of a magazine yesterday, alongside a headline detailing how much the former bachelorette might spend to 'look' a certain way. Can women ever win when it comes to talking about (or not talking about) what they put in their face? 

And, You've heard about love languages, so what about apology languages? Whether it's with friends, at work or at home, Jessie tells us about the importance of understanding how we prefer to communicate "sorry".

This week, the NSW Premier came out in support of a push to change the lyrics of Advance Australia Fair, from "for we are young and free" to "for we are ONE and free." As NAIDOC week draws to a close, how do First Nations people feel about the issue and how can we take steps forward towards reconciliation?

Plus, an elegance coach has released a video about all the ways in which we’re exhibiting poor etiquette when eating out. Her main rules include never fixing makeup at the table or blowing our nose in public. Jessie explains how we're all doing it wrong.

And, our best & worst of the week, including Emily getting 'soundboarded' on a date - where one person fills the time talking only about themselves.

Monday night’s Four Corners episode discussed the culture for women in Australian politics with investigations into the conduct of two senior Liberal politicians. Holly asks the question, does it matter if our leaders are good people? Or do they just need to do their jobs and deliver for the people of Australia?

Plus, Jessie goes rogue and decides to talk about the breakdown of the marriage between Phil Collins and Orianne Cevey. Cevey says that while they were together, Phil Collins refused to shower for almost an entire year, didn’t brush his teeth for several months, was impotent, drank heavily and took prescription pills...leading to a discussion about privacy and post-break-up ethics. 

And, a 2014 memo from Joe Biden to his staff has resurfaced. It details how the now-President-Elect urged his staff to prioritise family events over work. But is that a realistic standard to set in 2020?

Joe Biden has (finally) secured enough votes in the U.S election to be declared the winner, making Kamala Harris Vice President Elect. As celebrations around Biden's win continue, it's his running mate everyone is talking about. Kamala Harris is the first woman elected Vice President, she's also the first black VP and someone we're tipped to spend the next four years being obsessed with.

Plus, Yesterday was Remembrance Sunday in Britain, when the royal family leads the country in tributes to troops from World War One, Two and more recent conflicts. Reports have emerged that Harry wanted a wreath laid in his honour at the event, but the Queen said NO. Holly asks the question, are Harry and Meghan still relevant? 

And, a listener dilemma from a concerned sister many of us can relate to, about breaking the cycle of a toxic, on-again-off-again relationship.

Welcome to Quizzish! Mamamia’s podcast that’s about friends and facts and gin and trivia.

Every week, host Kelly McCarren will be joined by two rivals who will go head to head to see who can become the Quizzish trivia champion. And the best thing? You can play along too. 

Today Kelly is joined by Australian comedy royalty, Celia Pacquola and Luke McGregor.

You might have seen them on The ABC's Rosehaven or Utopia, but what happens when this on screen team are forced to go head to head, Quizzish style?

HOW DO I PLAY? 

Quizzish is a game that can be played wherever you listen to your podcasts. Walking the dog. On a road trip. At a girls night on a speaker. Anywhere.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

There are three rounds, and inside every round, 3 games, and three questions per game.  Kelly is going to ask questions, you write the answers down, then at the end of each game we’ll have a score count and reveal who was right and who was wrong. For every correct answer, you’ll get a point, for every incorrect answer, you’ll get...well, nothing. 

WHAT WILL I NEED?

Some paper, a pen or your best trivia voice.

Holly, Mia and Jessie answer some of your U.S election questions, to arm you with the knowledge you need to chat about it with friends this weekend. Mia explains the psychology around what happens when a narcissistic personality, like Trump, loses.

Plus, The Apology Sandwich. A lot of us are doing it without even noticing, the apology sandwich refers to minimising our own hardships in a world where we know plenty of people have it a lot worse. But does that invalidate the things we're upset about missing out on?

And, our Best and Worst of the week, including Holly's worst, about being the only person using video on the zoom meeting

Mia, Holly and Jessie meet for a late afternoon debrief about the U.S election to chat what we know so far and, rather, what we know we don't know. Biden and Trump believe they're both on track to win, as protestors in Washington take to the streets and the mood grows sombre for many....But with mail-in ballots continuing to be counted, we're in for a long week.

THIS IS A US ELECTION-FREE ZONE.

On today's show, in case you missed it, everyone is sharing sex toys on Instagram and Jessie's mum feels weird about seeing it before breakfast. Have we become sex obsessed or is progress marching ahead for the better? A lot of sex toy brands are spending money on influencer marketing right now, using celebs like Abbie Chatfield to talk candidly about female pleasure.

Plus, there’s a lot we can't control today, but something we all find soothing is categorising ourselves into the generalised boxes of personality tests. Extrovert and introvert,  Love languages, Star signs, we find comfort in knowing there are other people who think like us. We took the Four Temperaments test which argues all of us fit into one of only four boxes...but should we, or the people who know us best be the ones answering for us?

And, the recommendations to distract you on election day.

Post Lockdown Anxiety has seen a rise in 'Fear Of Going Out' or FOGO. There's plenty of excitement around the lockdown bubble bursting, but what about the anxiety we can feel when we walk away from the safety net of staying home? Aussies have endured months of FOMO this year, but now that many of us can venture out again, are we too scared to?

Plus, what's happening in Poland? Thousands of protestors have taken to the streets in Warsaw, in the middle of a pandemic, for the right to a safe and legal abortion.

And, we need to talk about Jessie's house. An article was published on the Mamamia website on Friday, giving us a peak inside Jessie's home. A TV in the bedroom has caused a stir, and Mia and Holly have a few questions about her rent, working from home with her partner and 'the rule of three.'

This week, the internet tutted and muttered about megstar Adele’s so-called 'body reveal' when she hosted Saturday Night Live. But Holly doesn't want to talk about that, she wants to talk about a new wave of female artists, including Billie Eilish, who are removing their bodies from the pop culture narrative altogether.  

Plus, what if, instead of a romantic relationship being seen as the pinnacle of happiness, we gave more consideration to our most important relationship being friendship?

And, our Best and Worst of the week, including puppies and 'clicky' hips.

There’s a rumour about Melania Trump that's gaining international attention. It started with the theory there's been a "fake" Melania standing in for the First Lady at official events. Now, the internet is abuzz with the theory there are TWO fake Melanias. From their posture, to their height and bone structure, something isn't right.

And, Jessie explains a story involving thirteen Australian women, who were forced to have an invasive medical exam at Doha Airport, after a newborn baby was found abandoned in a bathroom at the terminal.

Mia explains why audiences can't look away and takes us through the drama between Roxy Jacenko & Candice Warner, tells us what's going on with Schapelle Corby, and why the Honey Badger is making women uncomfortable.

Plus, "micro-weddings" have seen a huge boost in 2020 for obvious reasons as more and more couples opt for small ceremonies with just a few guests at home or even online.  So is the mini-mony here to stay? Or will we ditch them as soon as we're allowed to have big celebrations again?

And, the Zoom incident that left an American commentator quite literally exposed in front of his colleagues.

What makes you ‘rich’ in Australia in 2020? The Prime Minister started a bit of a ding-dong this week when he suggested that someone earning $180k was not ‘rich’, and plenty of commentators weighed in. Since no-one can agree on a number, we’ve come up with a different way to tell if you are, in fact, rich. 

Plus, why aren’t we talking about estrangement in families? Kee Reece, who is filling in for Mia, talks about how Mariah Carey’s new memoir made her feel seen, heard and understood when it comes to disconnecting from toxic family members.

Jessie saw a headline this week that read 'I’m a Beauty Editor, and these are the products I’d never splurge on'. She immediately clicked on it and then realised she has a beauty expert on-hand - Mamamia’s resident beauty expert Leigh Campbell. She comes on Out Loud to take us through the must-have skincare and beauty products and what we can live without. And trust us, you’ll need a pen. 

Plus, it’s been two years since Jessie, Mia and Holly had one of their most emotional throw-downs ever. It was all about the term "As a mother…" and it sparked a huge debate. So much so that we’re revisiting it today because Leigh, once firmly on Team Jessie, has moved to Team Holly.

And of course, we wrap up the week with our best and worst. So what were yours?

In another 2020 moment, The President of the United States has Covid-19. The news about Trump and the first lady contracting COVID rocked the world last week and now, apparently, Trump has recovered at unparalleled speed.

And, The Good, The Bad and The Budget: Jessie takes us through some of the winners and losers of the federal budget and explains why women, especially older women, are missing out. 

Plus, group texts have become a lifeline for women during the pandemic. Are they the sugar hit of friendship we all need right now? Or a bit of a pain to keep up with? Whilst being in group chats is some of the only contact many of us are getting, when is it ok to walk away, and how does it feel to see someone leave the group chat?

Deborra-Lee Furness is sick of people saying she’s ‘lucky’ to be married to Hugh Jackman. This week, the Aussie actor and producer chatted with Anh Do for the ABC's Brush With Fame, and shared the one thing that frustrates her most when she's asked about her marriage. 

And, Cuties is an award-winning French film about a young girl caught between a dance-crew of girls from her school and growing up in a traditional Muslim family. When Netflix bought the rights to the movie this year, it sparked a mass movement to #CancelNetflix. We take a closer look at the controversy surrounding the film.

Plus, it's time for Best and Worst. Jessie made an 'agenda' ahead of a recent dinner with friends and she thinks you should make one too. 

THE END BITS

Kee wants you to watch The Comey Rule on Stan. When you're done, listen to The Spill's Watch Club tomorrow morning, September 3rd, for an in-depth look at the series!  

You can watch Deborra-Lee on Brush With Famehere

It’s been a big week in the U.S...A bombshell report on Trump's tax return got a lot of people talking. Then today, the world watched on as Donald Trump and Joe Biden battled through the first presidential debate of the 2020 US election. It was combative, there was a LOT of shouting and Mia is not OK. We chat with Amelia Lester, an Aussie journalist living in Washington, to get her reaction to the whole thing.

Plus, anyone else feel like they're dropping every ball in their life at the moment? Jessie explains why it feels like the stakes are so high in 2020 and why none of us feel like we've got our shit together.

And, why are we all paranoid that our friends are mad at us? Kee chats through the extra (sometimes imagined) tension between friends when we can't see them and why the pandemic is making things even harder... 

THE END BITS

Mia wants you to watch I am Woman on Stan as we celebrate the life of Helen Reddy, plus she's got a great new moisturiser. Kee wants you to head to findation.com to find your perfect foundation colour match.

Nail polish, sashimi, yoga poses at dawn, and some other dull details are sprinkled through the latest book about Harry and Meghan, ‘Finding Freedom’. Is it possible that the royal couple have cooperated with the writers of the biography? We discuss.

Also, Courtney Herron was 25 when she was bashed to death in a Melbourne park in May last year. This week, her killer Henry Hammond was found not guilty, and what played out in court was hauntingly familiar. 

Plus, why we’re all overwhelmed with envy right now.

Australian writer and feminist Clementine Ford is being criticised for making money. We discuss whether there’s a bit of a double standard, and why - when it comes to money - women appear to be particularly tough on each other.  

Also, did you know that one in two women don’t know how to insert tampons properly? Thankfully, Tampax’s “Tampons and Tea” ad deciphers this vaginal mystery. But why has it taken us so long?

Plus, we’re introducing a new segment. What are the best and worst moments of the week? We discuss.

It’s Christmas Day for Holly Wainwright because she gets to talk about… Gwyneth Paltrow! The woman behind Goop has opened up about her marriage breakdown in an essay for Vogue. So, did she really spark a “separation revolution”?

Also, it’s been 13 years since Prime Minister Julia Gillard was called “barren” by Senator Bill Heffernan. On Tuesday, MP Philip Donato used the word while speaking to fellow politician Steph Cooke. But did he actually mean it? We discuss.  

And, what is low-grade depression? Michelle Obama spoke about suffering from it in a recent episode of her new podcast. 

Plus, vulva masks are now a thing. Should we get on board?

Have you ever noticed that no one ever asks President Donald Trump follow up questions in interviews? Well, that’s exactly what US-based Australian journalist Jonathan Swan did in what has been declared ‘the greatest Trump interview ever.’ Jessie recaps.

The word ‘despair’ would not be an overstatement when it comes to how Melburnians are feeling at the moment as they enter into Stage 4 of lockdown. The numbers are scary and restrictions are severe. So, how are Victorians coping? 

Also, we need to talk about supermodel Gigi Hadid’s house. The Internet can’t stop yelling about how ugly it is, while Mia is convinced her taste is ‘impeccable’. 

Plus, some positivity during the pandemic. We’re sharing the things that are making us laugh.

Have you suddenly noticed black-and-white portraits in your Instagram feed? They'll likely be closeups of women's faces — some famous, plenty not — with a few names tagged and a caption that declares "#challengeaccepted". So, what is the challenge exactly? And why are celebrities and normal women alike taking part in it?

Plus, The Bachelorette has been announced and... THERE'S TWO OF THEM. We’re the third country to do this, and in the other two markets, it hasn’t ended well. So, will these two women be pitted against each other?

And, is the environmental load falling disproportionately on women?

Julia Gillard might have one of the most talked about feminist political addresses of all time, but this past week, everyone’s talking about another one. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called out a fellow US politician in Congress after he called her a bitch, and women can’t get enough of it.

Plus, did you think we were going to get through today’s episode without Mia talking about Taylor Swift? Nope. So why is this album so different?

And where do our personal freedoms end, and our social responsibilities begin? Three Victorian women have gone viral over the past three weeks after they refused to follow Victoria’s COVID-19 guidelines.

The world is now officially concerned about Kanye West. Over the weekend the rapper hosted his first presidential rally and he went viral. He spoke for more than an hour, and at times his speech was incoherent. He had no microphone. He wore a bullet-proof vest, yelled, cried, argued with people, reprimanded the audience for clapping and had 2020 shaved into the back of his head. So in these situations, what do we do?

Plus did you know that it’s very easy to tell who’s a good person and who's not? There’s a theory that all you have to do is look at what they do with a shopping trolley. 

And, eight Australian magazines closed yesterday, leaving the offering in your local newsagents… thin, to say the least. Will they be missed?

And… Mia has an insight about male beauty standards that has blown Holly’s mind and she needs to share it with you.

Outlouders, it’s Monday and there’s a bit to discuss...In case you missed it, Prime Minister Scott Morrison is in trouble. He announced last week that he was taking a few days off. Then he was photographed slurping on a beer at an NRL game. So is our PM is entitled to a holiday during a global pandemic? And was it even really a holiday?

Plus, why is one very high-profile celebrity couple talking about their extra-marital affairs on a global talk show? Yes, Mia is here to explain the Red Table Talk episode with Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith.

It looks like we were wrong about Kanye West working from inside the Trump White House to make the world a better place - really, he just wants the top job. But there’s something about the whole President Kanye thing that all the giggling and eye-rolling is missing… 

Also, there’s a word Holly and Jessie say ALL the time that has become pretty problematic, and Kee has some suggestions for alternatives. Alright, guys? 

Plus an Outlouder has a VERY relatable dilemma in need of some group therapy.

With almost five million Australians heading back into COVID-19 lockdown at midnight tonight, what lessons were learned the first time around? Melburnian Outlouders tell us how they’re feeling about a return to isolation, and how they’ll do it differently this time around. 

Also, is it possible to tell how happy a couple really is just by looking at their social media? A flurry of celebrity breakups has Jessie and Kee convinced you can spot the stayers from the pretenders. 

Plus, why do only women #sharethemic? The powerful social media movement that’s seen white women with significant followings share their platforms with people of colour is specifically for women, but why isn’t there an equivalent for men? 

And Jessie has started watching one of the best TV shows of all time, and is stoked that there are SEVEN seasons of it. What other shows should we be rediscovering?

Nine public housing towers are being placed under hard lockdown in Melbourne and close to 3000 residents are being banned from leaving their homes for any reason at all. Why are those towers being referred to as ‘vertical cruise ships’ and what’s going on with people on the inside? Jessie explains.

Also, Russell Crowe’s ex-wife, Danielle Spencer, recently said she prioritised raising their children over her own acting and singing career. Kee can relate and asks, is it possible to have both?

Plus, what’s the difference between Call Out Culture and Cancel Culture? And are either actually useful? We discuss.

Welcome to Quizzish, Mamamia’s brand new trivia podcast for people who think pub quizzes are a little bit... boring.

Every week, host Kelly McCarren will be joined by two rivals who will go head to head to see who can become the Quizzish champion. And the best thing? You can play along too. 

Joining us in the studio for our first episode is Home & Away’s Ada Nicodemou and Lynne McGranger. So who will win? Are you smarter than Aussie soap's best work wives? Let’s find out....

HOW DO I PLAY? 

Quizzish is a game that can be played wherever you listen to your podcasts. Walking the dog. On a road trip. At a girls' night on a speaker. Anywhere.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

There are three rounds, and inside every round, 3 games, and three questions per game.  We ask the questions and you write the answers down, then at the end of each game, we’ll have a score count and reveal who was right and who was wrong.

For every correct answer, you’ll get a point, for every incorrect answer, you’ll get...well, nothing. 

WHAT WILL I NEED?

Some paper, a pen and a brain full of useless facts!

Also, UK comedian Sasha Baron-Cohen has a new target: Facebook. We know him as Borat and Ali G but his most recent prank has pushed the boundaries even further. We discuss.

After reading Phoebe Matlz Bovy’s reflective article on ‘Lean in’ feminism, Mia asks, is the whole Karen meme that shames women for speaking up just another way to silence us?

Also, what is ‘soft ghosting’? We bring in Mamamia’s social media executive and dating correspondent, Emily Vernem, who has some dating horror stories.

Plus, how to argue with someone who has super LOUD opinions. An anonymous Outlouder needs some help, so it’s time for the ol’ Group Therapy.

Why are female celebrity chefs such as Poh Ling Yeow, Laura Sharrad, and Emelia Jackson copping so much heat for being cocky, smug, and overconfident? Holly fills us in on the life lessons we can learn from Australia’s TV show MasterChef.

Also, Jessie wants to talk about foxes. According to a piece in the Sydney Morning Herald, at least three people attempted to pat a fox on a university campus over the weekend and unsurprisingly they were… bitten. The urgent question is: would you ever pat a fox?

Plus, one of the pieces that’s been resonating most on Mamamia this week is about grief. It was written by our Executive Editor Leigh Campbell who lost her father around a month ago. Leigh wonders, why is it that people don’t really want you to talk about your loved one who died?

“All Lives Matter” - it’s a phrase that you might have seen peppered in the comment sections of news articles, images and videos across social media. So where did the phrase come from, and how do you talk to someone who won’t stop saying it?

What makes you “Pufferfish”? In her most recent stand up special for Netflix, Hannah Gadsby jokes about the banal things that make her arc up just like a Pufferfish.

Plus, you might have seen a story circulating on socials about a popular YouTuber Myka Stauffer and her husband James who said they were ‘re-homing’ their son Huxley, who was adopted from China in 2016. The family made money off Huxley and his adoption journey, but now have admitted they aren’t the right fit for the young boy. The internet pile-on was swift, but was it justified?

The US is alive with protests following the death of George Floyd at the hands of a white police officer. In this episode, we speak to Kee Reece about what it feels like to be told you’re “not allowed to be angry” when black men and women are being killed because of the colour of their skin. We also speak to Gamilaroi activist Amanda Fotheringham about the parallels that can be drawn between the US and Australia when it comes to racially motivated violence. 

And for a complete change of tone - Kate Middleton is pissed off. A story was published in posh British magazine Tatler all about The Duchess of Cambridge, and the Palace has called the article “sexist” and “woman-shaming”. Are we... missing something?

“An African American is threatening my life”. This week, a video of a woman named Amy Cooper accusing a black man named Christian Cooper of threatening her has gone viral. At the same time, two other names have been circulating on social media: George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery. There is an interesting thread tying all three cases together. We discuss. 

Also, do you make quiet decisions or noisy decisions? It turns out, there’s a ‘right’ answer. 

Plus, Khloe Kardashian has changed her face and the internet can’t stop talking about it. But our ‘woke’ new world is forcing us to question ourselves and ask, is it ever OK to openly discuss a woman’s face?

US talk show host  Jimmy Fallon is the latest person to be slammed for a historic blackface incident which took place nearly 20 years ago. So, if you’re a public figure in 2020, should you just go ahead and confess to everything you’ve ever done wrong? Or just hold your breath until someone else finds it? 

Also, the Internet has given birth to the ‘Wine Mum’. Is this identity problematic? Or actually quite feminist? We discuss.

Plus, actress and comedian Celeste Barber ended up raising $51 million for the NSW Rural Fire Service during Australia’s bushfire crisis. The Supreme court ruled that the donated money could not be given directly to volunteers, victims or shared with other charities. What can we learn from this?

After teasing the audience about it for weeks, radio host Kyle Sandilands pulled a prank about having a serious health condition on the TV show 60 Minutes and people were furious. Should we expect more from a news program? And what is it about Kyle that so many Australians find appealing?

Also, dubbed ‘generation boomerang’, 331,000 kids have moved back in with their parents because of COVID-19. Could this change in living arrangements be a good thing? We discuss. 

Plus, what’s Trump planning to do next? Time for Mia’s US check-in.

When a raunchy female-led dating podcast named ‘Call Her Daddy’ stopped dropping its weekly episodes, fans knew something was up. It turns out, hosts Alexandra Cooper and Sofia Franklyn are having a major dispute with each other and the company that owns their podcast. Mia unpacks this pod drama.

Also, we were all scared at first. The fear evolved into tiredness and we’re now experiencing self-loathing as a result of failing to do the things we set out to do during lockdown. Are you sharing Jessie’s quarantine thoughts?

Plus, are you an ‘asker’ or a ‘guesser’? We discuss.

In an article published on Mamamia, Michaela Banks writes “As the parent of a child with a disability, Ann Marie Smith's death keeps me up at night."’. Ann Marie, 54, had cerebral palsy and required full-time care. It is alleged that she spent the final year of her life in a cane woven chair, malnourished and with no assistance when it came to her basic human needs. What can we learn from her devastating death?

Also, how can an Andy bear living with a Hamish (or a Jessie)? In an interview with Jessie, Andy Lee recoiled in horror upon seeing her old parking tickets stashed on her car’s dashboard, and odd socks on her feet. So, if you’re a Hamish, and your partner is an Andy, how do you ensure you don’t drive each other mad?

Plus, one of our listeners wrote in with a dilemma about seeing a workmate’s child posting inappropriate content on Tik Tok. Should she tell the child’s mum? We deliberate in a very awkward Group Therapy.

A global pandemic, a crashing economy, and social isolation have created a perfect storm for conspiracy theories. Some influencers and celebrities are playing a key role in undermining the mainstream media. So, why are ‘The Media’ suddenly the bad guys?

Also, if there’s anything singer Justin Bieber regrets, it’s having had confusing (and potentially hot) sex in his youth before committing to his now wife Hayley. What’s our biggest sex regret? We discuss.

Plus, should we resolve to do less now that we’re allowed to do more again?

This week, we learned that international travel might not “return to normal” until 2023. What will be the impact long term? And what does this mean when your family lives overseas?

And details about the next season of The Crown have been released, and there’s one big moment in the whole Charles-Diana doomed love affair story that you’re NOT going to see - so what was ‘tampongate’? 

Plus, what do you do when your partner wants kids but you’ve changed your mind? We tackle a group therapy from an Outlouder who is facing that exact dilemma.

Forever. That’s how long Twitter is letting its employees work from home as of today. We ask, is that necessarily a good thing?

Also, “Don’t be too loud”, “don’t take up so much space”, “ don’t be too ambitious”. Could Glennon Doyle’s book Untamed be considered the new feminist manifesto?

Plus, Normal People is Stan’s TV adaptation of the best-selling book by the same name. It’s a story about two people in love but who just can’t get it right. Some people love it and others don’t understand all the hype. Jessie has a theory as to why. We discuss.

Before the recommencement of the 2020 NRL season, a number of safeguards were put in place. In line with Scott Morrison’s “no jab, no play” policy, all players were advised to have the flu injection to ensure the safety of all teams. Now, two players have lost their jobs for refusing the vaccine, and a subset of the league are furious. How do we feel about people’s jobs being conditional upon being vaccinated? 

Also, chef and writer Alison Roman is being widely criticised for comments she made about Marie Kondo and Chrissy Teigen. We discuss.

Plus, when Jessie was 14, she stumbled upon a hidden birth certificate. 11 years later, her mother revealed that the certificate belonged to a brother she'd never met. A year ago, Jessie met Andrew and she tells us how she found out, how she felt, and what her relationship is like with Andrew now.

Pete Evans, of My Kitchen Rules, has recently parted ways with Channel Seven and Holly is scared silly that his views can now go unvetted. Is ‘cancel culture’ fuelling his extremist beliefs? And why is he not considered as a public health risk?

Adele’s most recent photo has had 10 times more likes than any photo she’s ever posted. Some feel betrayed and others feel like she’s won. Why is this photo evoking such an intense response?  

For many of us who are on a dozen zoom calls a day, we’re getting the chance to perve on other people’s backgrounds. So, are bookshelves making a comeback? We discuss.

A video by Tomos Robertson went viral this week. In it, he recites a poem, imagining 2020 as a turning point in human history. Will our post-Covid world be a slower, gentler and more peaceful one? Or are we romanticising an awful moment?

Also, you might be familiar with Poh and Reynold from the TV series MasterChef. While both chefs end up nailing their dishes, Poh is chaotic, overambitious and always rushed. Reynold, on the other hand, is like a well-oiled machine plotting everything to the minute. So, are you a Poh or a Reynold?

Plus, are you bothered if someone doesn’t like you? It’s time for some Group Therapy.

Since restrictions have been eased in most states this weekend, Holly went and visited her brother-in-law, Jessie saw her family, and Mia went for a haircut. But what about the people we’re not seeing? Is this a new form of lockdown guilt we’re experiencing?

Also, democratic nominee Joe Biden has been accused of sexual assault by a former senate-aide named Tara Reade (not the actress by the way). So, what does this mean for the election? 

Plus, women who have just given birth are finding themselves on a Skype call with Kate Middleton. How would you feel about chatting with the Duchess of Cambridge minutes after your placenta’s been pulled out? We discuss.

Women are OBSESSED with Yoga instructor Adriene Mishler and so are we. But now we’ve all semi-mastered at-home workouts, will we ever go back to the gym? What habits will stick and how difficult will some be to let go of once iso’s over?

Also, women have been getting pubic hair transplants. Yes, that’s right and a scene from Stan’s Normal People showing a character’s pubic hair could be a sign of a new pube trend. So, can fashion find its way into our underpants? Let’s talk iso pubes.

Plus, is it possible for a workaholic to change? We unpack an anonymous listener dilemma.

Former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s book ‘A Bigger Picture’ is out and seeing record sales. Mia had a chat with him this week and we’re wondering, what’s with the timing? And is he angry or relieved?

Also, why are we still celebrating the weight loss of reality TV stars? Especially when they’re telling us it’s the result of stress, mental illness or a physical health issue? We discuss why reality stars appear to be getting thinner.

Plus, are people in your life acting a bit... weird recently? Well, there’s a reason for that…

Am I “exercising” if I’m walking but not wearing lycra? Am I “exercising” if I go for a quick swim and then rest on my towel? Where do we draw the line when it comes to social distancing rules on “exercising”? We discuss. 

Also, nostalgia for exes is real and it’s on the rise. So, is it due to loneliness? A need for redemption? Or is it because, with a global pandemic at hand, all bets are off? 

Plus, Ellen DeGeneres is one of the most loved celebrities of all time but things are taking a turn. We ask, why is Ellen on the receiving end of a pile on and why is there no room for character nuance when it comes to influential women?

Fact: Only 7% of the world’s population is governed by female leaders. With Corona engulfing the globe, male leader’s reactions to the crisis pale in comparison to their female counterparts. Yes, we compare and discuss. 

Also, we’re at home all day grazing and napping, so why in the world are we SO tired? Jessie coined this “iso fatigue”.

Plus, if you know that your partner's group of friends don’t like you, should you make an effort?  We unpack an Outlouder dilemma.

Between Harry, Meghan and Karl Stefanovic, more and more celebrities are wanting to protect their privacy, but they want a say over which press can write about them. So, can they have it both ways?

Also, are women’s careers facing a crisis? Some of us are now shouldering all the domestic work, mum guilt, and the mental load that comes with all these COVID-related changes, can a career survive too? 

Plus, following her chat with Sexologist Tracey Cox, Mia wants to talk sex. Can romance be the enemy of sex? We discuss.

The US is in absolute havoc at the moment. Thousands of people have taken to the streets asking for state restrictions to be lifted, which is a stark contrast to other parts of the world. So, what’s going on? And how is President Donald Trump fueling it? 

Also, blondes and Botox patients everywhere, we feel you. Along with quarantine has come grey roots, shapeless eyebrows, faded Botox, and a version of ourselves we’ve rarely seen. So, how do we feel?

Just yesterday, we learned that an end is in sight for Australia’s ongoing lockdown. What will help get us there faster is a tracking app which is meant to help the government trace contacts and therefore contain infection rates. So, how do we feel about installing a government-operated tracing app? 

Also, what’s the best way to make conversation during iso? A mere “how are you?” might not cut it. And what if all we want to do is complain in response?

Plus, to bra or not to bra? That is the question on many women’s minds at the moment. We discuss.

To Jessie’s scornful delight, Holly’s managed to scrape up some celeb gossip among the COVID-infested headlines. So, why did Harry and Meghan decide to call their charity Archewell? And, what do we think of Demi Moore and her ex Bruce Willis isolating together?

And, since we’re all desperately waiting for a COVID vaccine to materialise, what are anti vax groups up to? Well, notes have been dropping in people’s letter boxes in Sydney with a  brand new conspiracy theory. We have many thoughts.

Plus, Gen X seems to be doing alright in this mess. After all, they’re used to self-entertainment, delayed gratification, and expecting the world to end at any given moment. Is Gen X nailing isolation? We discuss.

Can a diabetic stop for a doughnut while she’s out jogging? What if she needed to rest on a bench midway through? Does that behavior warrant a $1000 fine? Help! We’re confused and we need guidance.

Also, Scott Morrison is now officially the most popular leader since Kevin Rudd was back in 2009. Left and right wing feuds have dissolved and the government is vigilantly looking out for the vulnerable. Could this be our new normal?

Plus, as Mia put it, ‘you know things are serious when the Queen gives a speech and it’s not Christmas’. We unpack the Queen’s speech and why it made us feel so warm and fuzzy on the inside.

This weekend, more than 20,000 people showed up to Sydney’s Bondi beach ignoring the social-distancing measures put forward by the government. So why does it feel like we’re being scolded by Scomo right now? Does shaming actually work? And, could it be that people are confused by the messaging?

Plus, a while back, Kanye West’s song ‘Famous’ sparked a mega-feud between him and Taylor Swift. A recording of the conversation between Taylor and Kanye has leaked and it made us wonder, has Taylor been wrongfully accused of lying this whole time?

Understandably, people are now trying to distract themselves any way possible - celebrities included. Just yesterday, Will Farrel, Natalie Portman, Norah Jones and more big names got together to perform a cover of ‘Imagine’ by the Beatles. But do we like it?

Also, searching for non-COVID news was like trying to find a needle in a haystack- but we did it! Amanda Bynes’ mystery pregnancy and Catherine Hamlin passing away: We discuss the latest in celebrity news.

Plus, what do you do if you’ve already planned your wedding or milestone birthday party and now you have to call the whole thing off? Is it morally OK to be sad about it with all that’s happening right now?

Generational divides are becoming ever more apparent in these times! Jessie’s dad can do a plank for 10 minutes so should he worry about getting the ‘rona? We discuss.

We’re also introducing a new segment called: Lockdown Dilemmas. Today’s one is:  if we go into full-blown lockdown, who would you want to get stuck with? And on the flipside, who would absolutely do your head in?

Plus, podcasts, books, instagram accounts. We’re going to be talking about what’s bringing us joy during these tough times.

Look, in these uncertain COVID-19 times, Holly, Jessie, and Mia have decided to huddle (at a distance of 1.5 meters) in the studio for a last face-to-face recording until this all blows over. Yes. Everyday life is changing, so how do we deal with social distancing? What are good ways to self-soothe and distract ourselves from all of the anxiety-inducing headlines? And, most importantly, how can we stay human and kind?

In the face of this now pandemic, our reactions to COVID-19 are being carefully monitored. Try to be careful and you might be accused of panicking and if you try to be chill, you might be seen as reckless. How should we be acting and what are some practical things we can do to start preparing for lockdown?

Also, Prince Harry has been prank-called by Russian pranksters. Luckily, they didn’t manage to get any sensitive information, so what is the point of pranks?

Plus apparently there is a healthy way to accept apologies. We discuss.

What is it like to be in self-imposed isolation with a bountiful stock of toilet paper and nowhere to go? Jessie Stephens knows because she’s in quarantine at the moment after returning from her holiday in Japan. She joins in remotely to discuss.  

and we unpack what happened with the COVID-infected GP, Chris Higgins.

Also, Married at First Sight’s Seb told wife Lizzie that she should up her fruit and veggie intake and that she's the “unhealthiest person” he’s ever met. We ask, is it ever appropriate to make comments about your partner’s health? If so, where do we draw the line?

Plus, after all the Harry and Meghan media coverage over the last few days, Mia has thoughts on making big decisions while breastfeeding. We discuss.

“I am not a girl and I am not a boy, so I must be something else.” That’s what 14 year old Audrey said when featured on ABC’s 4 Corners last Monday. In this episode, we discuss how much does the concept of gender dictates our lives? And why do people find gender fluidity to be so confronting? 

Also, Kate Middleton was recently featured in a podcast where she talked about the challenges of being a mother. Apparently, she’s human like the rest of us. Holly’s shares what she’s learned from the Duchess of Cambridge.

Plus, an Outlouder recently saw a man kicking his partner in a cafe and was wondering whether she should have intervened. Would you? We discuss.

Australia has gone berserk on… toilet paper! As fears of COVID-19 escalate, it seems like panic stockpiling has become the coping mechanism for many. But are we overreacting to this global pandemic or is it valid? 

Also, does a leader’s ‘indecent’ behaviour speak to a wider character flaw? Boris Johnson’s fiancé is pregnant but he won't say how many children he has in total. Like Bill Clinton and Barnaby Joyce, Boris makes personal choices that are considered to be morally questionable, so should this impact his eligibility for his job? 

Plus, how useful is it to name and shame trolls online? Greta Thunberg’s recent visit to Bristol, UK sparked controversy and a local newspaper revealed the comments, names, and faces of some pretty agro trolls. We discuss.

Hey it's Mia dropping into the Outloud feed to let you know about Overshare. Have you given it a listen? This is what the girls are talking about on this episode:

Mutual orgasm is the HOLY GRAIL of sex but if it’s so important why is it so damn hard to achieve? Is there a secret to it? Is there no hope of it if a lot of women aren’t turned on by penetration?  Lem has some sage wisdom to help you be a better, more reciprocal lover the next time you’re getting freaky.

Plus can sleeping (just sleeping, no funny stuff) in separate bedrooms be beneficial to your relationship? Kel swears by it, not just because it prevents her from kicking her husband awake when he snores like a rail train, and Flex thinks everyone should do it (if only we could afford to).

And Kel has noticed a woman in her workplace dealing with professional conflict in a ‘bitchy’ way. So, is there a way to handle rejection and disappointment at work without taking it personally? And why can’t we all just get along and promote each other until we run the world damn it!

How concerned should we be about Coronavirus? Some media outlets have been accused of causing panic and anxiety but how do we keep cool heads with information coming from everywhere? 

Also, last weekend, Mia’s daughter Coco went to her first underage music festival. During the event, 12 children were strip-searched including six who were allegedly found to be concealing drugs “internally". Is there ever a valid excuse for underage drug searches?

Plus, what if all I want is a small, slow, simple life? And what if I’m ok with being mediocre? An article by Krista O'Reilly-Davi-Digui’s is circulating and we discuss these important questions.

Last week’s devastating murder of Hannah Clarke and her three children left us shaken but comments made by Bettina Arndt this week made us ask, should she be stripped off her Order of Australia Award? And, what impact does language have on Australia’s domestic violence problem?

And recently, the Queen banned Harry and Megan from using the word ‘ROYAL’ in their branding which the couple are not happy about. We wonder, are Harry and Meghan asking for too much?

Plus, ‘Liz-Lemoning’. The term inspired by Tina Fey's character in the series 30 Rock, refers to a woman whose achievements aren’t accidents, but she doesn’t want you to see how much she cares. So, why are some high achieving women pretending that their lives are in shambles? We discuss.

In her documentary Miss Americana, Taylor Swift talks openly about her struggle with an eating disorder. That inspired writer Anne Helen Petersen to write an article on how unhealthy relationships with food can hide in plain sight. We ask, is it OK to tell someone that they have an eating disorder?

Also, today we answer a group therapy question posted by one of our listeners. Is it OK for teenage or tween girls to sleep in their male cousin’s room? 

Plus, actress Jameela Jamil recently came out as queer on Twitter after she was announced as a judge on a TV vouging competition. Why is it still hard to come out and announce your sexuality? And what does it mean to be Queer in 2020?

Hey Outlouders!

It’s Holly dropping in your ears to tell you about our exciting dating podcast, Eligible.

We all know that dating apps can be deceiving. You’re swiping left and right at someone’s picture but you actually don’t know what the person is really like.

That’s why we came up with the idea of getting to know the person by hearing their voice before you see their picture. 

This is the very first episode of Eligible and we’re kicking off the world’s first podcast dating show with our first single, Nick.

Here's a little bit about him...

Age: 26

Occupation: Primary school teacher

Top three things he wants from a relationship: Intimacy, fun, holidays

How he describes himself:  Genuine, deep thinking, relaxed, empathetic

Best quality: Kind

Worst quality: Stubborn

What he hopes to get out of this experience: I hope to meet people that have a genuine interest in what they’ve heard about me and are open to a meaningful connection.

If you’d like to get to know Nick better, head to www.mamamia.com.au/eligible, enter the code word you heard in the episode and you'll get access to Nick’s details and photo.

This episode is brought to you by Fantastic Furniture, the perfect place to find the heart of your home.

HOW DOES THE SHOW WORK?

Every Friday our host, Rachel Corbett, sits down with an eligible single to have the awkward first date for you so you can get a sense of whether this person is worth your time.  She'll also do the reference checks by calling up a few of the women in the eligible single's life to find out what they're really like.

At the end of each episode, if you like what you hear, we'll give you a secret code you can enter at mamamia.com.au/eligible so you can see what your new love interest looks like and how to contact them. 

The rest is up to cupid!

Mikhaela Peterson recently announced that her father, author Jordan Peterson, who is known for taking issue with political correctness and condemning feminism is recovering from addiction to tranquillisers and a near-death experience. So does the fact that Peterson’s life is not in order, negate all his advice? 

Also, “I’m waiting for him to propose” and “I don’t want to pressure him”  are phrases we hear women say in heterosexual relationships. So Facebook’s COO Sheryl Sandberg has asked, why are women still struggling to take charge when it comes to marriage and dating? 

Plus, the world is in shock after former Love Island UK host Caroline Flack died by suicide on February 15th. Caroline has been no stranger to the incessant bullying fuelled by tabloid culture, so who is to blame for Caroline’s death?

If you or someone you know is thinking about suicide, get help immediately.  Call Lifeline at 13 11 14.

In a recent tweet, Bettina Arndt shared a poster from Griffith University’s dating manual which highlights a person’s right to say no to sex. In her words, she claimed that the manual encourages women to be “uncaring demanding bitches”. Despite her undisputed anti-feminist sentiment, the tweet made us ask, is Griffith University’s dating manual more partial towards women?

Also, vulvas and orgasms on Gwyneth Paltrow’s third episode of the Netflix series ‘the goop lab’ has got us all wondering, is female sexuality witnessing a big cultural moment? 

Plus, our Quicky producer Melanie Tait tweeted a post asking, is it silly to gift a mum a facial or massage without organising for someone to look after her kids? We discuss.

Not surprisingly, the ratings for this year’s Academy Awards were at an all-time low. Joaquin Phoenix’s veganism speech felt a tad bit preachy to some and we’re asking, why is it that almost every Oscar acceptance speech has to adopt some sort of a political or ‘woke’ tone to make it memorable?

Also, more than 90 women have accused Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault. Donna Rotunno is Harvey’s female defense lawyer and her interview with the New York Times's Meghan Toohey has got everyone (including us) talking. What lies in the mind of Weinstein’s female defender?

Plus, an ad was banned from screening during the Oscars that showed the reality of what happens to a woman’s body after she has a baby. Was it really all that shocking? We discuss.

Swifties are buzzing because Taylor Swift’s documentary ‘Miss Americana’ is now out but her haters have called it a contrived attempt to self-victimise. So we’re wondering, what is the “annoying woman syndrome” and does Taylor Swift have it?

Also, do you use “as previously discussed” and “I’m balancing a lot this week” when emailing someone at work? If so, you could be considered passive aggressive but do we really know what these phrases mean? 

Plus, are you an alarm snoozer? Is meditation a part of your morning ritual? What about laying your work clothes out the night before? Jessie, Mia, and Holly talk: morning routines.

Holly’s back so a dip into the royal family is almost inescapable. In a TV interview this week, Meghan Markle’s dad, Thomas Markle, said that he will talk to the media every 30 days until his daughter calls him back. Should media outlets be held accountable for playing a role in fueling family feuds? 

Also, Richard Di Natale; the doctor turned Greens leader, announced his retirement from politics, saying that he wants to spend more time with his young sons, Luca and Ben, and wife Lucy. So should we worry about how our politician’s schedules impact their lives and families?

Plus, the American Superbowl halftime show aired on Sunday and it is full of implicit political messaging, a call for cultural diversity, and booty shaking. But was J. Lo and Shakira’s performance empowering or depressing?

False information and a sense of hysteria is in the air after nearly 8000 people have been affected by Coronavirus (at the time of the recording of this episode). But is the Coronavirus enabling an anti-Chinese sentiment? 

Also, with Instagram, Facebook and even TicTok making everyone witness to our outfits of the day, healing journeys, and tedious workout routines, is there such a thing as a “personal life” anymore? 

Plus, it hasn’t been easy wrapping our head around the complicated legacy of basketball legend Kobe Bryant. At his best, he was a dedicated husband and an active philanthropist but at his worst, he allegedly raped a 19 year old woman back in 2003. How do we navigate the good, the bad and the ugly of a celebrity’s legacy?

Kobe Bryant, widely considered one of the greatest basketball players of all time, and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna (Gigi), were among nine people killed in a helicopter crash over the weekend and the world is in shock.  So why do celebrity deaths affect us so much?

And Mia’s recent article on school holidays has gone viral.  She thinks the system is broken but what’s the answer when kids are out of school at 3pm and parents have to work till 5pm?

Plus, in her new docuseries ‘The Goop Lab with Gwyneth Paltrow’, Gwyneth Paltrow and her Goop team look at psychedelics, energy work and other wellness topics.  But are there any parallels to be drawn between Gwenyth Paltrow and pseudoscience advocate Belle Gibson?

Hi Outlouders! On Jan 26th we think it's important to reflect on our country's history. Recently on the Mamamia podcast, The Quicky, they looked into The Uluru Statement. And we thought it was such an important episode we had to share it here.

Three years ago, nearly 300 people signed a statement to the Australian parliament asking for Indigenous voices be heard in our government, the Uluru Statement from the Heart. It outlines three specific requests. 

Three years on, what's happening with it?

The Quicky asks the question: with so many other countries like Canada and the US already creating treaties like this with their First Nation People, why wouldn't Australia follow suit?

CREDITS

Host/Producer: Claire Murphy 

Executive Producer: Melanie Tait

Audio Producer: Ian Camilleri 

Guest: Professor Megan Davis, contributor the Uluru Statement from the Heart, Constitutional Lawyer, Pro Vice Chancellor Indigenous at UNSW. 

The Quicky is the easiest and most enjoyable way to get across the news every day.

Ladies and Gents, Pete Evans is back and he's feeling vindicated after finding a single study that supports (not really if you read the whole thing) some of his bogus beliefs about sunscreen. So, should he think more carefully about what he posts when he's a person of influence?  

And speaking of influence, an Instagram account has blown up this week that shows exactly what it looks like behind the feed of influencers.  So is it funny or creepy?

And, Rachel Corbett has been roped into writing a monthly newsletter, dishing out advice so she gets some practice in by trying to solve a listeners dilemma about changing careers later in life.

Photos of Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston hugging at the Screen Actors Guild Awards have taken the internet by storm. So, are they getting back together? Or, is this a publicity stunt? 

Also, should we separate the person from the sport? Margaret Court is set to be honoured at a ceremony next week. Should her negative views towards LGBTQI communities affect her recognition as a sporting legend?

Plus, our co-worker Lucy Neville has just broken up with her boyfriend of 5 years. Among her many tips on how to deal with a tough breakup, she suggests dating apps. Jessie, Mia and Rachel are wondering, are dating apps really an efficient way to get over someone?

Some say it’s racist, others say it’s just what every new royal experiences when they become part of the family. Has Meghan Markle’s treatment by the media really been that different to Kate Middleton’s? And if so, what’s behind it?

And an Outlouder wants to know, should you be asking questions in job interviews? Can you ask… how much you’re going to get paid? 

Plus, have you ever wondered why sex scenes look so sexy on camera? Apparently, intimacy coaches are professionals who are hired to direct and choreograph sex scenes in film and theatre. We discuss the role they play and why they are so important.

Karl Stefanovic has returned to Today alongside co-host Allison Langdon. So, is the new combination working? And what is it about Karl that makes him exceptional television talent? 

And Wilson Gavin was among a small number of protesters who stormed a Brisbane City Council library hosting a Drag Queen children’s story-telling event on Sunday afternoon. A video of the protest went viral shortly after, and the social media response was swift and cutting. By the next morning, Gavin had died by suicide. We look at the way events unfolded and ask, what can we all learn from this?

Plus, we’re in the middle of divorce month, and Rachel wants to know: Is going to couples therapy before problems arise in a relationship a good thing?

If you think you may be experiencing depression or another mental health problem, please contact your general practitioner or in Australia, contact Lifeline 13 11 14 for support or beyondblue 1300 22 4636.

We're bringing the show back early because there's so much going on!

We're also doing a live show for bushfire relief in Melbourne on Tuesday, February 11th.  If you want to grab tickets and help us raise money for the Red Cross you can do that here... https://mamamia.com.au/events/.

On the show today we're interrupting Holly's book writing duties to pick her brains about whether Harry and Meghan's resignation is proof of a Royal rift.  

Plus, people have started having a go at celebrities like Celeste Barber for their decisions on where to distribute the funds they've raised for bushfire relief.  So is tall poppy syndrome starting to creep into philanthropy?

And if you've been wondering what's going on with Iran, Jessie breaks it down and tells us whether we're headed for World War III.

And of course, we've got some Friday recommendations to get you through your weekend.

Since September, Australia has experienced the worst bushfires in our history. The conditions have been described as “apocalyptic” and likened to “an atomic bomb” as fires continue to burn in every state and territory in the country.

On New Year’s Eve tens of thousands of Australians found themselves trapped by fire with no power or mobile phone service. We speak to Mamamia’s Editor, Clare Stephens, who was one of them. 

The loss of homes, business, wildlife and, at last count, 23 lives, is being mourned all over the world. In this special episode of Mamamia Out Loud, Holly Wainwright, Mia Freedman and Jessie Stephens discuss what’s happened, why such fury is being directed at our Prime Minister and perhaps most importantly, what can be done to help.

As we’re nearing the end of the year, a much-contested topic is making headlines yet again. The second draft of the religious discrimination bill has been released and it’s raising a very important question. What will this bill look like in the real world and what does it mean for non-religious people?

And, is it really that sad to be spending Christmas alone? Rachel joins today’s show and asks why pity is the response she gets when she tells people she’ll be alone at Christmas. 

Plus, what’s better than hearing life advice from people who’ve been around a long time? We’re closing the last regular Mamamia Outloud show with some words of wisdom.

With Boris Johnson winning the UK general election, a washed-up reality TV star becoming the president of the US, and Scott Morrison winning against all poll predictions, it feels like we’re all living in a bubble at the moment. So, how is it that we still find ourselves shocked, and what can we learn moving forward?

And an anonymous listener is fed up with her mother-in-law and wants to know what Jessie, Mia and Holly think. Should she be drawing some boundaries or accepting the relationship for what it is?

Plus, what on earth is an Instagram face? Jia Tolentino wrote a feature for The New Yorker this week, and it’s all about the prevalence of one specific face. How has our relationship with beauty changed in a world where we’re photographed more than ever before? And haven’t women always had a complicated relationship to beauty standards?

Last Sunday, rapper, singer, and positive body movement championer Lizzo was snowed with positive and negative reactions after she rocked up to a sports game in an “assless” dress. Holly asks, had it been Taylor Swift in the same situation, would the reaction have been the same? 

And, now that party season is here, what is the best way to strike up a conversation with uncle Greg (we all have one, apparently)? For most of us, small talk can be so unbearable, so why do we do it and how do we do it better? 

Plus, according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the word ‘They’ is 2019’s Word Of The Year. Used as a pronoun for non-binary people, is this recognition that “They” has gone mainstream.

This week, Lem Zakharia fills in for Mia Freedman, and joins Holly and Jessie to discuss where on earth our Prime Minister has been lately. While Jacinda Ardern unites New Zealand in the wake of a devastating natural disaster, Australia’s response has been very different. 

And, would you consider yourself a giver, a matcher or a taker? It turns out we all fit into one of those categories, and one group excels at work far more than the others. 

Plus, we’re all very excited that there’s another female world leader. The Prime Minister of Finland, Sana Marin, is making headlines because she’s just 34. It got us thinking, what’s the perfect age to become a leader?

We’re not on our Summer holidays yet, but we know a bunch of people who are...Australian politicians.  And it's no wonder they're pooped because it's been a massive couple of weeks in Canberra.  If you want a quick wrap of what's been happening and why, Holly has you covered.

And are you struggling to find time to factor self-care into your routine?  Well, Jessie has some troubling news.  Apparently self-care isn't all face masks and mani-pedi's, it also includes doing your taxes and putting together a household budget.  

Plus, as Christmas is approaching it's time to start thinking about what you're going to buy the men in your life.  So why are blokes so hard to buy for and should you just implement Mia's 'let's not worry about a present' rule?

And of course, it's Friday, which means it's recommendations time!

When Scott Morrison was elected in mid 2019, it was said to be a victory for the ‘Quiet Australians’. But this week, former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull encouraged us all to be ‘Loud Australians’. What does that actually mean? And what camp do we belong in?  

And Christmas is becoming increasingly problematic… at least according to Jessie. After a year that’s been all about cancel culture, sustainability, introversion and self care, is Christmas on the brink of cancellation? 

Plus, Kim Kardashian West is one of the world’s most powerful business moguls. A recent Vulture interview looked at her influence over the last decade, and now we’re all asking: Have we gone mad, or is Kim seriously profound?

Hey Outlouders!  We wanted to introduce you to a new podcast we think you're going to love...Overshare.

It's hosted by Kelly McCarren, Flex Mami & Lama Zakharia and its like an invite into a private, adults-only group chat.  Since you're a fan of this show we know you love conversations that cut the BS and this show gets candid about everything from sex and relationships, career, mental health and of course, general "what the heck am I doing with my life?" questions.

It’s smart, it's dumb, it's taboo. It's three women and too much information.

If you love it you can subscribe in your favourite podcast app or listen at mamamia.com.au/podcasts.

Enjoy!

This week, leggings were reportedly banned at a school in Melbourne, after a teacher suggested they were distracting to boys. So, does he have a point? Or are leggings just pants with a bad reputation?

Also, this week Jessie had a near-death experience. And by that we mean she attended John Edward’s Sydney show. After seeing the psychic medium in the flesh she wants to know: Is this a man exploiting people’s grief? Or is he providing closure and peace?  

Plus, surprise surprise, a twitter fight has erupted and it’s all about friendship. A woman named Melissa Fabello shared a template that looks a lot like an ‘Out Of Office’ message… but for your friends. Is the whole concept a little narcissistic? Or do we all need to get better at drawing clear boundaries?

Is Trump going to win in 2020? Between the complicated impeachment proceedings to the flood of candidates hoping to win the presidential race, things are getting quite confusing. Mia gives us a tidy little synopsis and throws in who she thinks is likely to win.

Plus, Rachel Corbett is filling in for Jessie today and she is absolutely sick of people throwing pity parties for single women like herself. Why are married women who are in unhealthy relationships feeling sorry for all the single ladies? 

Also, the Victoria’s Secret show has been cancelled. Is this the end of the brand as we know it? And what, ultimately, led to its collapse?

We’re seeing them pop up everywhere on our instagram feed. Posts that reel you in by assuming that you’re unhappy, that something is missing, and that your 9 to 5 job is a burden you’d like to avoid. Our question is: When did everyone on Instagram become a life coach?

Also, researchers at Baylor University have published their findings on the mental load of ‘daughter-ing’. Apparently, there are four things daughters tend to do, that sons don’t. Sound familiar? 

Plus, Holly is obsessed with Apple+’s new TV series “The Morning Wars” featuring a very angry Jen Aniston. Are we seeing the rise of The Angry Woman?

This week, there’s one interview that has the whole world talking. Over the weekend, the BBC aired Prince Andrew’s much anticipated interview with journalist Emily Maitlis. Full of bizarre claims and a lack of empathy for victims, Prince Andrew’s attempt at defending himself has been a colossal disaster. We unpack the TV interview that will no doubt go down in history. 

Also, with social media always at our finger tips, we’re becoming more and more inclined to share our joys, mistakes and traumas in real time. But are there some experiences that ought to be processed first?

Plus, inspired by last week’s Bachelorette finale, are you a mutt or a cavoodle? Jessie, Mia and Holly discuss.

‘OK Boomer’ is the new viral phrase we’re beginning to hear everywhere. But, what does it actually mean? And why does it feel so… ageist? 

Also, sexting and sharing nudes seems to be a byproduct of living on the internet. Just last month, ex-congresswoman Katie Hill had to resign from office in what seems to be a case of revenge porn. Will nudes ever become the norm? And should they ever cost you your job?

Plus, how do we feel about men fiddling with their faces? The Bachelorette winner Carlin Sterritt admitted to having his lips done, and Ciarran Stott laughed about having a nose job. Is masculinity beginning to change?

This week, NSW has been in a State of Emergency. Fires have spread throughout the state and into Queensland, with more than 200 homes destroyed, and three people dead. It’s predicted that up to 350 koalas have been killed, and in Tuesday’s fires, 21 people injured. Meanwhile, politicians are arguing over whether or not climate change is to blame. Is now the time to be angry? And who should we be angry at?

Plus, for the first time, ABC has removed an episode of Q&A after a panel of “outspoken feminists” were accused of inciting violence. But did they actually cross the line?

In case you missed it, a rapper named T.I. desperately wants to talk about his daughter’s vagina. Or more specifically, her hymen. On an American podcast titled  “Ladies Like Us” the rapper, actor, and TV personality said that he accompanies his 18-year-old daughter Deyjah Harris to a gynaecological exam each year, in order to have her hymen (and therefore, her virginity) checked. Where do we even start?

Plus, Karl Stefanovic is reportedly in discussions with Nine about taking back his old seat on the Today show next year, even if it means copping a hefty salary cut. Mia puts her industry hat on and explores whether Karl can really save the day. 

And, actress and activist Emma Watson is in the headlines for rejecting the word ‘single’ and instead going with ‘self-partnered’. But, does the status of ‘single’ really need a makeover?

Prime Minister Jacinda Arden has set a precedent yet again. In a recent video that went viral, Jacinda spent two minutes listing the policies her government has implemented in the past two years - and it’s… overwhelming. Jessie, Mia, and Holly reflect on how much they’ve accomplished in the last two years, and it looks very different. 

Plus, Kiwi singer Lorde has just lost her beloved rescue dog, Pearl, and says she’s too grief-stricken to work. We can’t help but ask, is stoicism dead? And is there something to be said for just ‘getting on with things’?

And, 55-year-old Keanu Reeves is back in the headlines, all because of his new girlfriend. Why are we applauding a man for having a girlfriend roughly the same age as him? And what’s so bad about age gaps in relationships anyway?

And a viral post on Instagram suggested some new rules for visiting a newborn. It turns out, we’ve all been making a lot of mistakes…

One of Australia’s most infamous serial killers, Ivan Milat, died early Sunday morning in his cell at Long Bay Jail. Then, over the weekend, ISIS leader Abū Bakr al-Baghdadi was killed during a US military operation. There has been a lot of celebration over the last few days about the death of these two men. But is there something a little gross about celebrating when someone dies?

Plus, we’re constantly being told to be mindful and zen. Stress and chaos are very out of fashion. But Taffy Brodesser-Akner argues in a recent column that stress is what helps her get things done, and maybe a ‘calm’ and ‘peaceful’ life is overrated. Does she have a point?

Also, if you’re in shock that it’s nearly Christmas again, there’s a reason for that. This has been the decade where time was turned on its head, and here’s what that means for the average person.

Well-known cartoonist Michael Leunig’s most recent work shows a young mum glued to her screen as her newborn is cast away on the ground behind her. He’s copped a lot of criticism, but does Leunig have a point when it comes to our relationship with our phones? 

Plus, boys from a private school were filmed yelling a misogynistic chant on a Melbourne tram this week. What does this tell us about young men? And would the same thing have happened if these boys went to a co-ed school? 

And a reality TV star has taken a network to court over her ‘psychological wound’, and won. So, who is liable for the so-called “villain edit”? And is this precedent going to change reality television for good?

At 6:30 am on October 10th, a jogger was filmed relieving herself outside Roxy Jacenko’s office. Shortly after, Jacenko posted a video that went absolutely viral. So, Mia asks whether this behavior can ever be excused and if yes, under what circumstances? 

Also, Kyle and his KIIS FM co-host Jackie O, have reportedly signed one of the biggest media deals in Australian history, earning approximately $7-8 million per year.  Holly wants to know is anyone who isn’t saving the world worth $40,000 a day?

Plus, research has shown that owning a dog can lower your risk of dying early by 24%. Jessie dives deep on why cuddling your little pup can massively enhance your mood and also help you be present in the moment.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

Mia: Shrill on SBS

Last week there was a man on The Bachelorette who may have been a new-low in reality TV villains. Yes, we’re talking about Jess Glasgow and the men who stood up to his misogynistic behaviour towards our heroine Angie Kent.

This week Mamamia writer and host of the You Beauty podcast Amy Clark wrote a piece titled ‘A stranger sent me an Instagram message about my weight. They were "concerned for my health".’ Amy joins Holly, Mia, and Jessie to talk through the experience, and why people seem to feel like it’s okay to body-shame someone if you say it comes from a place of “concern” for your well-being.

You can read Amy’s piece on Mamamia here https://www.mamamia.com.au/i-was-fat-shamed/ 

Also, does cuddling ruin your sex life. Some researchers say cuddles are the death of more intimate physical touch, while others say the opposite. Tell us what you think by emailing outloud@mamamia.com.au

Is it okay to take food from the hotel buffet for breakfast, lunch AND dinner? Asking for a friend. Or actually, a listener whose husband thinks she’s a thief. 

Also. Is Cancel Culture real? Mia read a piece from The New Republic titled The Cancel Culture Con about celebrities coming back from “cancellation” which really riled her up. Because the likes of Taylor Swift, Anziz Ansari and Louis C.K might be back on our screens - or in our ears - but are they really unscathed? 

Plus, do you love being seen to use your Keep Cup even more than you love using your Keep Cup for the planet? As an avid reusable straw lover, Jessie discusses whether or not her efforts to live a more earth-friendly life are a form of virtue signalling.

Ellen Degeneres has been called out for sitting next to George W Bush at an NFL game. Because, surely, she doesn’t agree with him on all the things?

A Perth NightClub owner is infuriating the nation with his assertion that a  young woman in his establishment couldn’t possibly have had her drink spiked because… she wasn’t attractive enough. Since we recorded this episode Scott has publicly apologised for his awful words but it begs the question; what did he think it would take for someone to be “worth” sexual assaulting?!

Plus it’s been a week since White Ribbon Australia announced the organisation was going into liquidation. Some women around the country aren’t exactly sad about this. So what does it mean, and how should we feel about it?

What’s the social etiquette when it comes to “liking” a post on social media. Is it okay to bring up a post in real life if you don't interact with it digitally? 

And the enormous loss of Aiia Maasarwi was felt all around the nation. This week, the details of her murder were released after a judge removed the suppression order preventing their distribution. That has raised the question, what purpose do the details serve? And what responsibility do we have to know them?

Plus, is it problematic to tell a woman she has a “big personality”? One listener was described as such in a job interview and she has no idea how to feel about it. 

If any of the discussions from this episode have raised any concerns for you in particular the discussion of the case of Aiia Maasarwi please reach out to 1800 RESPECT or call Lifeline on 13 11 14

The Masked Singer is everyone’s latest television obsession. People are utterly captivated by how bananas it is. But in the Golden Age of television, with scripted dramas and documentaries, should we apologise for indulging in a bit of ‘trash’? 

And is being bad at your job the worst possible thing you can be? We’re all, to some extent, stuck in the capitalist rat race, but what if you have no ambition to be ‘the best’? In a hustle culture obsessed with ambition, can we ever just be mediocre?

Plus, crystals are on bedside tables, in drink bottles and bras, and even in jade face rollers. It would seem, however, that there’s a dark side to the crystal industry, and very few people know about it.

This week a piece of legislation was passed in ACT parliament that legalised marijuana in the territory. Should we be celebrating? Or could this be a slippery slope?

Plus, 16-year-old climate activist and all around human mood board Greta Thunberg spoke at the UN climate summit this week. She stared down some of the most powerful leaders in the world - demanding immediate action on the climate crisis. As is the way with these things Greta has now become the subject of personal attacks from everyday citizens right up to the literal President of the United States. Should we be worried about Greta? Watch the funny skit Mia talks about from the ABC here; ABC 7:30 Greta Thunberg Helplinehttps://bit.ly/2n2mzt8.

And, ladies and gentlemen, what is the point of having a bookshelf if it’s not professionally organised? At least that’s what we were left thinking after a Town And Country Mag.com feature on Gwyneth Paltrow revealed the actress has a professional bookshelf organiser.

Last week, Constance Hall gave a powerful TEDxTalk about her experience with bullying both online and in the real world. Mia originally discouraged Constance from speaking publicly about being bullied for fear it would ‘feed the trolls’. But she now realises she was wrong, and in fact, there’s a lot to be gained by shining a light on these experiences.  

Mark Ronson has spoken out about his sexuality, announcing his preference of ‘sapiosexuality,’ which involves being attracted to a person’s intellect above their gender and appearance. So, is this just another way of saying “it’s what’s inside that counts?”

Plus, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is the latest public figure to have photos from his past emerge; this time with the PM wearing black face for a dress up party. Holly asks why we’re quick to forgive some people for their socially unacceptable behaviour, while withholding that luxury from others.

Look, there's a lot to unpack today. The episode is late to your ears because we've been observing #climatestrike, we won some sparkly awards last night and it's also Producer Lize's last show. But first...

The Bachelor's finished and the "good girl" won. But what does our reaction to Abbie say about how we view women who aren't afraid to express their sexuality? 

Anti-violence advocates are not the only ones upset about the fact that another inquiry into the Family Court has been announced, when what they've been asking for is urgent change, not more navel-gazing. To add insult to that injury, Pauline Hanson is leading that inquiry, even though her position on the Court is far from impartial.

And, Holly, Mia and Rach discuss everything we love about the most-complained about ad on Australian television.  

RECOMMENDATIONS

Rachel:  The Hills is on Foxtel

Mia: She Said by Jodi Kantor and Meghan Twohey

Holly: Fleishman Is In Trouble by Taffy Brodesser-Akner

Is flirting really allowed in 2019? We ask this question because one of our listeners wrote in with a group therapy about her friend's husband being a tremendous flirt. Which got us thinking: is flirting just plain problematic these days?

Plus, abortion remains technically illegal in NSW. On Saturday, thousands of women marched in Sydney’s Hyde Park to get it removed from the criminal code - Mia and her family were among them. But on Sunday there was an anti-choice rally. And in attendance? Barnaby Joyce and Tony Abbott. So why do these fathers of daughters not trust women?

And Mia is here to explain the Caroline Calloway story that everyone is talking about.

Constance Hall flagged something on her Instagram about bucks' parties that got us thinking. She claims that more often than not, they're used as an opportunity for cheating to happen in relationships, and what happens there is protected by the ‘bro code'. But what about the sister code? 

Plus Taylor Swift is performing at the Melbourne cup this year, but is it problematic to go and watch her if you don’t actually support horse-racing? We’ve got a group therapy that is very of the moment. 

And, Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton has referred to the children in a Tamil asylum-seeker family facing deportation as "anchor babies" so what does this mean?

RECOMMENDATIONS

Holly read an article about something called the No-Fap Movement over the weekend. So she decided to put her Sherlock Holmes hat on and investigate why women are joining this predominantly-male group and explain what fapping actually is. (Hint, it’s not suitable for work).

And, in news that might make you feel old, When Harry Met Sally turns 30 this year. It's the movie to blame for the trope of 'High-Maintenance' woman, and we're asking: Is that really an insult? 

Plus, Scarlett Johansson has stuck up for Woody Allen, and it’s been revealed that Gwyneth Paltrow helped two Pulitzer-prize-winning journalists break the Harvey Weinstein story. So what else is happening in #MeToo news this week?

Can you learn how to be charismatic? Jessie thinks you can in three easy steps but Holly and Mia don’t think it’s that simple.

Plus if you’re confused as to why UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has fired 21 people and is calling for an election before the end of October, Holly is making a comeback with our favourite analogy, the Brexit sh*t skirt. Even though this time it's actually pants.

And, Brad Pitt and Renee Zellwegger have both had relaunches this week thanks to interviews with fancy magazines. But how do they differ and should we even care anymore?

And of course the Friday recommendations….

There's a lot of stuff going on this week for women... Leigh Sales was hosting a black-tie dinner when the man introducing her tried to kiss her on the lips. Influencer Nadia Bartel's marriage broke down because her husband allegedly cheated on her but somehow she got the blame for it. And the University in Sydney decided to lower it's entrance marks for women so there can be more females in engineering. It seemed like the perfect time to do an episode about sexism because there's a lot of sexist stuff happening right now.

We hope you enjoy.

It's Friday and Mia wants to talk about Taylor Swift's new album Lover. But this time Jessie's going to let her because it's not just an excuse for Mia to sing.  There are some big questions that need answering, like whether we should like Taylor because she's 'safe' for kids as opposed to someone like Miley Cyrus. 

Plus, does your relationship have a third leg? Well, it needs one if you want to remain stable and strong. Jessie explains why. 

And when you're stressed do you tend to internalise it? Even stew on it? Well, chances are you have quiet stress. And that friends, is bad. But we have some solutions for how you can deal with it.

The G7 Summit was held in France this week, where world leaders from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK and the United States met to discuss everything from climate change to gender equality. But perhaps the biggest thing to come out of the G7 is the fact that the world is now shipping Melania Trump and Justin Trudeau!  But why?

Plus, the Amazon rainforest is burning, kids are skipping school to protest climate change and climate anxiety is very real. But shouldn’t we be focused on things people are doing to fix the problem instead of dwelling on the bad? 

And if you eat lunch at your desk every day, we’ve got bad news for you.

The debate has been hijacked over the past two weeks so here at Mamamia Out Loud, we wanted to share the pro-choice side, and why it's so important that if you believe in abortion being decriminalised, you rally around your local MPs. 

To share use the hashtags: #ProChoiceNSW #VoteForProChoiceNSW #GetItDone

It’s been a big week for the Royal family. Elton John is defending Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for having a holiday and flying in a private jet. Meanwhile, Prince Andrew is releasing statements about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And Holly has a theory about how it’s all related.

Meanwhile, if the word brainstorm makes you cringe, we’ve got a solution that will help you get through it.

And at 9:30 am on Wednesday morning, Cardinal George Pell’s appeal against his child sexual abuse conviction was dismissed. The Court of Appeal sitting in Victoria rejected the centerpiece of Pell’s appeal in a 2-1 decision. So what does this mean?

Do mental illnesses come in and out of "fashion"? It's an interesting idea, and one that was the subject of a fascinating article on Mamamia written by Amy Clark. She suggested that as awareness of anxiety has risen, depression has become less and less understood. You can read Amy's piece, here: https://www.mamamia.com.au/anxiety-and-depression/ 

Plus, Alan Jones has made some vividly aggressive comments about New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. So why, in 2019, is this still happening?

And, Gwyneth Paltrow has been engaged three times. Married twice. And it seems that with every partner that she’s had, she has upgraded them just at the right time. So are relationship upgrades a thing? And have you done it?

The man you would have heard described as “disgraced US business man”, but actually a billionaire accused of sex-trafficking, Jeffrey Epstein, took his own life while awaiting trial on the weekend. 

Some of the most high-profile men in the world - Epstein’s powerful friends - are implicated in his case, and as a result, his death has been met with a cloud of conspiracy theories. Are they ridiculous, or completely valid?

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth’s very public break up has everyone talking but it’s Miley’s “relaunch” that’s really giving us break-up FOMO.

And schools across the country are being encouraged to make competitive sporting events like running and jumping voluntary because of the mental anguish and humiliation it can cause students. Is this really the case, or is it just another instance where children are being shielded from failure?

This episode contains discussions around suicide, please reach out to Lifeline if this raises any issues for you on 13 11 14

Queen of Hollywood clap-backs Chrissy Teigen is among the voices encouraging Americans not to go to a particular gym because of… Trump. But does even exercising have to be a political act now? 

Genetically-blessed human Emily Ratatjowski has dared to bare her underarms, hair and all, on the upcoming cover of Harper’s Bazaar magazine. Ratatjowski actually penned an essay for the magazine but the internet can’t stop talking about whether or not her armpit hair is real. Yes, seriously.

Jessie wants to talk about a video from the New York Times where kids sat down with their parents and confronted them about having their images shared online without their consent.

In case you missed it, women in NSW are telling police to arrest them. It’s the only Australian state where abortion is still a crime, and this week politicians are debating whether the law should be overturned. Jessie has a handy explainer on how to respond to people in your life who aren’t on board with the whole pro-choice thing. 

And a new study has found that almost one quarter of millennials don’t have any friends. What’s responsible for this new lonely generation? And how many friends does the average person have anyway? 

Plus, Holly recently discovered a word for something she’s been feeling for months and is very, very excited.

Catherine Middleton has made headlines recently after Kensington Palace issued a statement categorically denying that the Duchess of Cambridge had cosmetic work done; specifically ‘baby botox’. So, what is ‘baby botox’? And does everyone secretly have it?

And author John Marsden has caused a bit of a stir after remarking that bullying is really just a form of feedback. The author and educator is promoting his new book The Art Of Growing Up and reckons that if kids just became a little more ‘likeable’ maybe bullying wouldn’t be such a problem. Does he have a point?

Plus, Holly was stopped in her tracks this week by Brigid Schulte’s piece in The Guardian, which was all about why women need more free time. Jessie isn’t convinced.

Australian swimmers are in hot water over Mack Horton’s selective protests over cheating in the sport. When Chinese swimmer Sun Yang beat Horton at the World Championship recently, he refused to stand on the podium with him because he’d been accused of being a drug cheat.  But when Australian swimmer Shayna Jack was suspected of testing positive to illicit substances, Horton was silent. So are we happy to give our own athletes a free pass while judging other countries?

And Meghan Markle was guest Editor on the September issue of British Vogue and predictably people have opinions.

Plus a post about ‘childless millennials’ ruining Disney World for families has resurfaced and it’s peeved tone has people either laughing or vigorously nodding their heads.

The influencers of Byron Bay have come under global scrutiny after a Vanity Fair piece painted the lives of the town’s “Murfers” or Mum Surfers in a less than friendly light. 

Britain has a new Prime Minister and Donald Trump loves him. So Holly explains just how a posh mop-haired conservative made it to the top job.

Plus The Final Quarter documentary profiling the racism and bigotry hurled at AFL star and Australian of the Year Adam Goodes has everyone talking. So how can we use this moment to grow as a country, and figure out a way to talk about racism?

James Weir wrote this week about the rise of lip fillers in teen girls, causing us to ask: Is it a good thing, a bad thing, and how much is social media to blame?

And this week, two famous women came out publicly and declared they wouldn't be having children. And a lot of people were uncomfortable with it.

Plus Jessie found herself at a dinner party where one of her male friends said he felt he would be able to ace tennis legend Serena Williams in a match... Which.. well, we have some serious feelings about.

World number one and all-round Tennis champion Ash Barty was knocked out of the Wimbledon Tennis competition this week after a three-set loss to American Alison Riske. And it made Jessie realise something ...that since Ash’s success at the French Open, Australia has kind of been hovering around Ash like a helicopter parent. So are we embarrassing her? 

Plus, we always talk about red flags going into relationships and friendships and even workplaces, but what about the green flags that make people good? 

And have you heard of the attention economy? Well if not, don’t worry because Mia is here to explain and she’s using the American Soccer team as the perfect example.

Pity Delta Goodrem - who was Born To Try - in a world where trying isn't cool. At all. 

Tom Gleeson said that his Gold Logie win was a bit of a joke, and talked down everyone who 'tried' to win it. But, hold on, wasn't he was on every TV show and magazine drumming up support? Sounds like trying to us. 

Plus, Taylor Swift says her 'biggest bully' now owns the rights to all her music. How the hell did that happen, and why is she now being slammed for complaining about it? 

And champion-'tryer' Ivanka Trump accompanied her father Donald to the G20 summit last week. And everyone is laughing at her. But is that cruel? Or is laughing at the Trumps the only way to stay sane?

BUY TICKETS TO OUR LIVE SHOWS HERE.

Are the Logies a joke? That’s the question on everyone's mind as we lead into the 61st TV Week Logie Awards this Sunday. Gold Logie hopeful Tom Gleeson has pitted every nominee against each other, and not everyone's happy about it. Do we owe the Logies a little bit of respect? Or is it completely redundant?

Plus, is it ever okay to change your engagement ring, a year after you’ve received it? That’s what Meghan Markle has done, and Holly has some very strong feelings about it.

And Elizabeth Gilbert says everyone has two hours in their day when they're at their best. When is your window? And what do you do with it?

What happens when you start believing everyone around you is doing their best? Does it change the way you think? And the President of the United States has been accused of rape, but no one is talking about it...so what’s going on? Oh, and we have a special announcement… 

This week one story is dominating all our media and that's the saga of Israel Folau.  The rugby player, whose job, money, and now wife, is filling every news report across the country. So why are we so captivated by this issue? 

Plus, Donald Trump has been accused of rape and no one is talking about it.  

And Brene Brown wants us to think that all people are doing their best. But is that really true? And why can it be hard to do? 

Oh! And in case you missed it - we are going on tour!

You can buy tickets on Friday at mamamia.com.au/events and it's all thanks to our partners, Toyota Kluger….

Jessie has a new show! It's called True Crime Conversations and each episode sees her interviewing experts about crimes that captivated, horrified and perplexed people from rural Australia to the world stage. This is the first episode about the case of Belgian Backpacker Davine Arckens.

When 24-year-old Belgian backpacker Davine Arckens reached out to a man on Gumtree about working on his farm she was excited.  The 88 days of labour would mean she could stay in Australia on a tourist visa for an extra year. She couldn’t wait to spend more time in a country she thought was safe and full of nice people.

When Davine met the man it didn’t take long for her to realise she’d made a terrible mistake.

Driven to what felt like the middle of nowhere, Davine was convinced she was hours from the nearest town.  What followed was two harrowing days where she was held against her will and an escape that made national headlines.

Walkley award winning journalist Richard Guilliatt reported on the story and he joins Jessie Stephens to walk us through it.

We debate, discuss and dissect everything from the sex lives of millennials to whether or not you should confront someone who told you they were having a birthday dinner but then never sent you an invite.  HOW RUDE!

Rihanna has come out as a #ShyGirl in a recent interview, which has us wondering whether there’s a difference between shyness and introversion.  And whether one of them is just a cover for laziness.

Plus, it’s all over the news that millennials are NOT having less sex and that maybe we’ve been fooled by bad data.  So why are Gen Y fooling around less often? Holly has some passionate words for those who aren’t regularly getting busy between the sheets.

And in group therapy we help out a listener who doesn’t know what to do about her close friend not inviting her to her birthday dinner.

From Taylor Swift's new music video to why we need to protect backpackers more in Australia, the latest episode of Mamamia Out Loud is live...

Taylor Swift's new music video for You Need To Calm Down has split people into two camps: It’s either an empowering LGBTQIA+ anthem or it’s a tone-deaf, attempt to co-opt a marginalised group’s stories. Please explain.

Plus, Jessie’s been working on a new true crime podcast and the first episode is all about an horrific attack on a young Belgian backpacker. Do we need to do more to protect young travellers to Australia? (You can subscribe to her new show here).

And in a column in the Weekend Australian, Nikki Gemmell asked the strangest question: Why do male gynaecologists do their jobs?

On today's show, we tackle everything from Gwyneth Paltrow's living arrangements to the Adani coal mine. And yes, the fact that Keanu Reeves is apparently good in bed.

The ideal husband, according to Gwyneth Paltrow, is one who lives somewhere else. At least part of the time. In an interview with TheSunday Times over the weekend, Gwyneth Paltrow said she and her husband of less than a year, Brad Falchuk, live in separate homes in Los Angeles for 3 nights of the week. And a lot of you think it’s a good idea. But is it a rich person’s problem or a solution to keeping your relationship fresh?

Plus, a year ago Eurydice Dixon was murdered. But has anything changed since then? Jessie did some research, and you might find yourself surprised.

And we answer a group therapy about a baby and a dog that will give you all the feels.

On the show today...everything from Ash Barty’s epic win to how a family who lost everything are inspiring so many...

Five years ago, Anthony Maslin and Marite Norris faced a devastating loss. Their three children Mo, Otis and Evie aged 12, 10 and 8 were killed in the MH17 disaster while on their way home to Perth.  They were with their grandfather Nick Norris, who also died and it was the end of the world as they knew it. We’re talking about the Maslin’s story today because on Monday, Rin and Anthony appeared on the ABC’s Australian Story to speak about the moment their lives changed forever.  Holly thought it would be harrowing viewing but it was one of the most uplifting and positive things she's ever seen and she explains why.

Plus, Nike recently introduced plus-size and para-sport mannequins at its London flagship store. But the plus size mannequins are ruffling some feathers and Mia calls bullshit.

And, on Saturday night Ash Barty became the first Australian woman in 46 years to win the French Open and the second First Nations woman in history.  We give a shout out to this incredible woman.

A few weeks ago a New York Times article claimed no one enjoys drinking Aperol Spritz and the internet went mad. Because apparently, it’s true. Which got us thinking..what other things do people pretend to like? Oysters? Mothers-in-law? Sex? Mia has a very long list and it involves parks, pools and a whole lot of other random things.

Plus, next time someone tells you a man’s career will be ruined if an angry woman makes an allegation against them in the #metoo era, we want you to picture Holly’s Tuesday night. She went to see the comedian Aziz Ansari.At the Sydney Opera House. It was the first of two sold-out stand-up shows he was playing to the 2000 capacity Concert Hall. Yes, Holly didn’t cancel Aziz Ansari and she’s here to talk about why. And you can also read about it here: https://www.mamamia.com.au/aziz-ansari-sydney/

And a 26-year-old man named Robbie Tripp is getting a lot of heat on the internet for praising his ‘curvy wife.'  So is his new song ‘Chubby Sexy’...problematic?

A very pervy interview between one of the most famous names in Australian entertainment, Andy Lee, and comedian Wil Anderson, is being talked about all over the country. Did Andy just provide a masterclass in how to call someone out?

The Elton John biopic Rocketman was released this week and it looks closely at the relationship between Elton John and his songwriting partner Bernie Taupin. But the one question it has Jessie Stephens asking is  - are you a ‘Bernie’ or an ‘Elton’ when it comes to your life? And by this she means do you want the limelight for your work or are you just happy floating in the background making good things? 

Plus, in case you missed it, unmarried women are the healthiest and happiest according to London professor Paul Dolan. Apparently married men take fewer risks and “calm down” and are therefore healthier than their single counterparts, whereas married women report more mental and physical problems than single ones. So who’s happier and does it really matter? 

And is it okay to pull out the Entertainment Book on a date? That’s this weeks group therapy.

Mia Freedman is still on holidays so stepping in with Jessie Stephens and Holly Wainwright is our fabulous host of The Quicky, Claire Murphy.https://omny.fm/shows/the-quicky/playlists/podcast

On Saturday morning the body of 25-year-old Courtney Herron was found in Melbourne’s Royal Park in Parkville. There’s been a lot of coverage surrounding Courtney’s death, shockingly she’s the 20th woman to be killed in Australia this year. But people are specifically focussing on the fact that she was homeless and that she’d been seeking government assistance for some time, needing housing and treatment for her drug dependency and was suffering from mental illness. So is this a conversation about violence against women or is it one about homelessness? Or both?

Plus, the UK’s second female prime minister, Theresa May handed down her resignation speech on May 24. So what does this mean for Brexit? Holly is back with her famed poo-skirt analogy, and it’s a ripper.

And, Toffee is the world’s first dating app only for people who went to private schools. But is it really a good idea?

Dating is hard. Particularly if someone thinks you were dating when you weren't. In his new memoir, American music producer and DJ Moby wrote that he and actress Natalie Portman briefly dated when she was 20 and he was 33.The thing is, Portman denies the claims, saying that Moby was “a much older man being creepy with me when I had just graduated from high school.” Portman also says she was 18 at the time, not 20. So can it be possible for one person to think you’re dating, and the other person to NOT think you’re dating?

Plus, we received a call from an Outlouder asking a very pertinent question about pregnancy. Should you find out the gender of your baby? And if so, should you tell anyone?

And, Australians can't stop taking selfies. So is it a problem when we care more about how an experience looks than how it feels?

This week, deputy leader of the Labor Party, Tanya Plibersek, announced she would not be contesting the leadership. Which is perfect for Holly because she's got some post-election thoughts she needs to get off her chest.

Plus, filling in for Mia this week is Editorial Assistant Jess Wang and she’s brought an equally serious question to the table...can you pat a dog without asking it's owner for permission? And if you do ask are you then forced to make excruciating small talk with them or can you just pat their dog and walk away?

And what do boobs have to do with protesting abortion laws? Following the recent Alabama abortion ban, women all over the world are sharing their stories via the #youknowme hashtag. But is there a wrong way to protest? Some people are unimpressed supermodel Emily Ratajkowski has chosen to protest with a semi-nude photo. So is she a social media genius or just self-promoting?

The election is happening TOMORROW - and 3.5 million Australians have already voted. This has never happened before and no-one really knows why. So is this a generational shift away from ‘event’ voting and towards convenience?  It’s going to completely change the way politicians campaign next time and also means it’s likely we won’t get a result on Saturday and Holly has some very strong feelings about it.

Jessie went to an engagement party over the weekend and didn’t bring a gift because the invitation said not to bring a gift. But when she got there? Yep, you guessed it. Gifts. And lots of them. So is she a bad person or did she do the right thing?

Plus, how many hours a day do you work? 71-year-old American author Danielle Steel says she works 22 hours a day. And, she’s written 178 books. She’s  listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for having a book on the New York Times best-seller list for the most consecutive weeks of any author. But is this a life really worth living?

This week, the internet canceled a 19-year-old Youtuber called James Charles.

In a matter of days, the teenage YouTuber lost 2.6 million subscribers and counting. He was unfollowed by some of the biggest names on social media, including Kylie Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Demi Lovato, Katy Perry, Shawn Mendes and Miley Cyrus – many of whom didn’t just follow his account, but know him personally.

So what did he do and why should we care? Mia Freedman is here to explain.

Plus, Belle Gibson is back in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. The 27-year-old fraudster owes the courts over $400,000 but when quizzed about why she hasn’t paid anything back yet, her reasonings were...strange. Did she get paid $75000 by 60 Minutes? She can’t remember. Has she been on any holidays since 2015? She doesn’t know. So what’s going on and who is this Clive bloke she says she lives with?

And, are girls’ weekends the new sleepovers? We discuss the new Netflix movie Wine Country and why more adult women are choosing to spend time with people they love but may not necessarily like anymore...

In case you missed it, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry had their baby and everyone is going bananas for Archie Harrison Mountbatten Windsor.  But they're also judging new mother, Meghan.  Should she have worn a white dress?  Did she look too good and is that unfair to new mothers? Why was she standing behind Harry instead of confidently striding towards the cameras?  But is it fair to judge a woman for how she behaves in a situation no woman could prepare for?  Or did she know what she was signing up for?

And are you sick of wasting your time on the dating circuit?  Maybe you need to introduce a sealer date.  Mia, Jessie and Rach discuss their approach to dating and whether cutting someone off after two dates is foolish or a good idea.

Plus, a recent New York Times article looks at why some women in relationships are stepping back from their careers so their partners can get richer.  The article says: "To maximize the family’s income but still keep the children alive, it’s logical for one parent to take an intensive job and the other to take a less demanding one.  It just so happens that in most couples, if there's a woman and a man, the woman takes the back seat.”  So do we need to stop putting our careers on hold for family or should it be our choice?

Professional singer of sad love songs, Adele, has split with her husband Simon Konecki and the interview is rejoicing!  Why? Because they know heartbreak means the sweet hits are coming. But should we be reveling in someone else’s misery because it’ll have a positive impact on our Spotify playlist?

And the Sri Lankan government turned off social media after the attacks that left over 290 people dead.  But is social media important in a crisis and is taking that away a too authoritarian?

Plus, Chris Lilley is back with a brand new bunch of characters in his Netflix show, Lunatics.  So, is it problematic?

You need three things in life. A nemesis, a mentor and an arch enemy. Why, you ask? Motivation. There was an article in The Atlantic this week titled “Get Yourself a Nemesis.” You can read it here, but basically, it says a nemesis can push you to do better. And Jessie agrees.

Plus are Australians lazy? Businesswoman Roxy Jacenko has given an interview this week saying pretty much that. But do you agree?

Plus, Jacinda Ardern’s partner Clarke Gayford posted an image on Twitter this week that praised the New Zealand Prime Minister for making the country safer for their daughter - which made Holly ask the question: are we finally done with the myth that men don't want a powerful woman?

On Thursday night, The Project’s Waleed Aly sat down with Prime Minister Scott Morrison for an intense, commercial-free interview.  

The segment covered whether or not our current government has capitalised on Islamophobia, and the place One Nation has within Australian politics.

Our very own Rachel Corbett was a co-host on Thursday night’s episode of The Project, and on today’s show she offers some insight into what it was like behind the scenes.

In this special bonus episode of Mamamia Out Loud, Mia, Jessie and Rachel unpack the interview that stopped the nation.

On Friday afternoon, an Australian white supremacist walked into a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand and opened fire on the people who were gathered for Friday prayers.

He live-streamed the attack on Facebook as he shot dead 50 people and injured many others at two mosques. 

It was a shocking attack and it rocked the world.

One shining light out of this whole situation has been the way Jacinda Ardern has acted in the wake of the shooting. The internet has been flooded with photos of her comforting the New Zealanders and speaking to the nation about how this behaviour won't be tolerated. There's a lot of love for the NZ Prime Minister right now and we think it's totally justified.

Plus, we discuss the Fraser Anning egg situation and whether it's ever ok to egg someone, even if their views are awful.

Do you eat the same thing every day for lunch? How about breakfast? And why does it matter?

A recent article in the Atlantic looked at people who eat the same thing every day and as a regular chicken sandwich eater, Jessie thinks it’s a great idea.   Holly thinks it’s boring...until she realises she’s not all that adventurous herself. So does eating the same thing every day make you a bore or a decision making genius?

Plus, following Mia’s recent interview with Gemma Hartley, the Outlouders discuss the complexities around emotional labour in a relationship and how it’s leaving women exhausted. So, is it really the responsibility for women to tell men to step up and do the dishes or should they do it without being asked?  And is the situation the same in same-sex couples?

Happy International Women’s Day!

As we were planning this show - we thought about how we could do things a little differently. Usually, radios decide that International Women’s Day is a great day to feature some women's voices.

But here at Mamamia, we don't reduce that gift to 24 hours a year. We deliver it to you every single day.

Taylor Swift has some regrets about her 2015 squad, but who hasn’t had a performative friendship in their 20s?

Plus, videos of NRL players having sex are being shared on an almost daily basis in Whatsapp group chats across the country. So are you complicit in image-based abuse if you watch them?

Just a warning, this episode of Mamamia Out Loud will be speaking about the George Pell case which may be distressing. For 24-hour support, please call 1800 RESPECT.

On Tuesday, after three months under a suppression order, the world learned that Cardinal George Pell was guilty of five counts of child sexual abuse. What has happened next is quite surprising. Former Prime Ministers Tony Abbott and John Howard came out in support of Pell.  So why are they defending a convicted paedophile?

Plus, Mia Freedman weighs in on the Khloe Kardashian / Tristan Thompson / Jordyn Woods cheating saga, with a bit of help from Jessie. And we introduce a new segment with a terrifying intro.

Well, that happened and Holly may or may not have been converted to Jordan’s way of life.

Plus, we’ve all heard of work wives, but what about work mums? A work mum is the person at work who you go to for life advice. Jessie thinks it’s problematic but Mia thinks it’s flattering.

And of course, we’ve got an Oscars recap because it wouldn’t be Mamamia Out Loud without one...

In case you missed it, Lady Gaga got a new tattoo this week that pays homage to A Star Is Born. It’s a rose on her back with the La Vie En Rose lyrics but it seems the tattoo and her very public friendship with Bradley Cooper is part of a $20 million Oscars campaign. And Mia Freedman is calling bullshit.  

Plus, wondering why people are now practicing micro-dosing with illegal drugs? Jessie Stephens speaks to Dr. Brad McKay about why more and more professionals are choosing to take small amounts of LSD at work.

And remember the ISIS Brides? Holly wants to know whether or not they should be allowed to come home.

All this and more on the latest episode of Mamamia Out Loud.

Are you a woman? Apparently, it's your fault Meghan Markle is being hounded by the media. That’s according to The Times columnist Carol Midgley, but Mia Freedman strongly disagrees. So is our desire for gossip and pictures deadly, or just a bit of fun?

Karl Lagerfeld, the Creative Director of Chanel, died at the age of 85 earlier this week. And while everyone is talking about his contribution to fashion, Jessie thinks there’s something else that he got right - and it's about relationships.

And why do scammers find it so easy to manipulate women? The answer is really bloody sad.

Have you heard? We've got a new podcast here at Mamamia. 

It's a daily show called The Quicky. And we want to introduce it to you...

The Quicky is the easiest and most enjoyable way to get across the news every day. And it’s delivered straight to your ears in a daily podcast so you can listen whenever you want, wherever you are...at the gym, on the train, in the playground or at night while you're making dinner.

In this episode of The Quicky, we unravel the story of missing Dubai Princess, Latifa bint Mohammed al-Maktoum.

In March 2018 Princess Latifa, the 33 year old daughter of Dubai’s ruler Sheikh Mohammed, attempted to escape her oppressive life after years of torture, imprisonment, and lack of basic human rights.

Unfortunately Latifah’s escape didn’t go to plan and she was recaptured on a yacht off the coast of India.

She hasn’t been seen publicly since.

We speak with the CEO of Detained In Dubai, Radha Stirling, who helped Latifa with her escape attempt and is continuing to raise awareness about the case.

As you will hear, Latifa’s life is far from a fairytale and life behind the palace walls is anything but safe.

Have you ever experienced the 3pm shock? If you’re a working mum, chances are this sounds very familiar. It’s when you realise there are two hours between when the school day finishes and when the work day finishes. And Mia thinks something needs to change.

Did you wear make up to school? A girl’s school in Victoria has made headlines after students were made to remove eyelash extensions before their school photos. And a question we couldn’t help but ask this week: Why on earth are we still weighing people on television? Yvie Jones’ protest at a weigh in on I’m a Celebrity has gone viral for all the right reasons. Plus, a picture of a penis and what The Washington Post, President Donald Trump and Saudi Arabia have to do with it.

Bradley Cooper admitted to Oprah this week that he was embarrassed that he hadn’t been nominated for Best Director by the Oscars. Which got us thinking, when it comes to things like failure, is embarrassment the feeling we are most afraid of?

Last week, recently elected 29-year-old US politician Alexandria Ocarsio-Cortez posted a five-page Instagram story on her skin routine. An 'old school' female politician would NEVER have done this for fear of being seen as shallow and too 'female'. So have we turned a corner in time?

And Mia has realised that everyone has news blindness. Her’s is sport - so what’s yours?

Have you heard of the relaunch? It’s what all the young people are doing on social media after they've come out of a break-up and Jessie is here to explain it to us.

Yesterday, the NRL banned Ben Barba for life after CCTV footage of an altercation with his wife was viewed by its Integrity Unit. So does this mean there’s finally a shift in how violent footballers are handled, and is it really cause for celebration?

And there’s a new kind of job interview that you might get asked to sit through. And it involves making people cry.

Married At First Sight is back this week, and on Thursday night it got Jessie thinking (you can read her specific thoughts here) about whether there was a right or a wrong way to have a conversation with a partner. Because it seems that in every relationship, there’s a person who wants to moan and a person who wants to offer solutions. So should a conversation have a goal?

Plus, Mia feels silly because she missed one of the biggest news stories in Australia right now. So Holly and Jessie are here to explain what is going on with the Darling River and the millions of dead fish floating in it. 

And the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, one of the most generous employers in America, has just announced that it is cutting paid parental leave from a year to six months, so is a year with a baby really not what a mother needs?

Is it ever okay for someone to confiscate your phone when you’re a grown-up? It happened to Holly last week and she paid for the privilege. Now, she’s a bit confused.

And if you don’t know what a shut down is, but are hoping it’s got something to do with locking Donald Trump away somewhere the sun doesn’t shine, we have an explainer for you. WITH AMELIA LESTER.

Plus, recommendations are very surprising this week. Jokes, Holly is recommending a stand up special and Jessie a documentary, but they are still good. We promise.

Is it ever okay to tell a fellow sister that her pubes are sticking out of her swimmers when you don’t know her? It’s a doozy of a group therapy this week Outlouders, and Holly, Jessie and Mia aren’t sure how to respond.

The Australian Open Tennis Championship ends on Sunday, and, as always, we’ve all been caring about a sport we don’t generally give a toss about for a few hot weeks. But from where we sit, it seems this year it’s been much less about the tennis, and far more about the bitching, in-fighting and feuding. It’s like a tabloid magazine come to life. So is tennis our new reality TV?

And how much do we deserve to know about the final moments of a woman’s life? As the country mourns the murder of 21-year-old Aya Maasarwe do we really need to know how she was killed?

Heard Mia banging on about The Bold Type and need to talk about it more? Well, good news because today we are sharing with you an episode all about it. 

Scarlet Magazine isn't real. But according to former Cosmopolitan Editor Mia Freedman, it's as close to real as a television drama can get. If you're not too sure what we're talking about, you obviously haven't watched The Bold Type. But we're here to tell you that you need to. 

The Bold Type on Stan was inspired by the life of a former Cosmopolitan Editor-In-Chief Joanna Coles, and it follows three 20-something women, Sutton, Jane and Kat, who work at Scarlet magazine, a glossy title that’s moving away from centering on beauty and fashion, and championing a new focus on feminism and politics (and a whole lotta racy sexy tips.) 

It touches on work wives, relationship dramas, career progression, sexuality, the #metoo movement and white privilege.

It's captured the hearts of LOTS of Australian women. But does it live up to all of the hype? Should it be compared to Sex And The City? And was it really like working at Cosmo? Rachel Corbett, Mia Freedman and Amy Clark discuss...

Happy Friday Outlouders!

Have you been seeing a lot of inspirational work quotes on Instagram? Have people been telling you they’re just soooooo busy? Well, turns out there’s a word for that. It’s hustle porn and Mia is going to tell us why it might be bad for us.

Plus pill testing. What is it? And where do you stand?

And the 10-year challenge is the latest meme to hit Facebook and Instagram.  More than 2.4million people have uploaded a photo of themselves now and from 2009 but what's it really about? There’s a conspiracy theory saying it was created by Facebook to get data on how people age. Holly thinks we might be overthinking it but Mia is convinced we've all been had.

Have you done the yoni egg test with your friends yet? If you’ve watched The Bold Type, you’ll understand what we’re talking about, but if you haven’t Mia’s here to tell you what it is. And chances are it will redefine your female friendships.

Plus, feeling overwhelmed about what to eat in 2019? So is Holly. She wants to eat healthily, but it isn’t that simple these days. Pete Evans doesn't have breakfast until 2 pm most days, and then he just eats whatever he wants. Fitness queen Ashy Bines is Keto now - which is like being on a diet that the Paleo people think is too hard - so her breakfast might include bread that's made of cream cheese and a few wicked slices of turkey. And then there's celery juice? Can't keep up? Nor can we, so here's what we've all decided to do.

And ASMR. It stands for “Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response.” But what is it? Why do people listen or watch? And is it creepy or cool? We’re here to tell you.

Twenty years ago, Sex & The City burst onto our screens and changed the way women saw themselves. Here at Mamamia Out Loud we’ve been talking a lot about the podcast that has brought Sex & The City back into our lives, Origins, which is why we thought we’d do an entire episode devoted to the series that shaped the way we thought about the world.

Holly, Mia and Jessie look back at the show that was so iconic - and the movies (that weren’t as iconic) and ponder a lot of questions...

Like how did it help shape the world?

Was it a little problematic?

Should there have been more diversity?

Was Carrie really as painful as everyone makes out?

And, if it came back, would it still be relevant?

A lot has happened in the last 12 months. 

We had a goddamn Olympics and no one even a little bit remembers it.

Kids from Parkland, Florida, became galvanising leaders after yet another preventable school shooting.

We had not one but TWO royal weddings, and staunch republicans threw on a tiara and critiqued the very problematic British monarchy as they shed a tear at the astounding romance of the whole thing.

Here’s a recap of everything you forgot happened in 2018...

Women are going to extreme lengths to have an orgasm... The O-shot is a procedure which “takes blood from the patient’s arm, spins it in a centrifuge to “activate” it and produce “high quality” Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)."  This is then injected into the area below the urethra and into the vaginal wall to help you achieve orgasm.  And it will set you back $1700. But is not having an orgasm really something to be embarrassed about or should we all stop putting so much pressure on ourselves?

Plus its holiday season but there’s plenty of workaholics refusing to pull themselves away from the office. If that's you, we'll tell you why you need to pack your bags and put your feet up. 

And in these times of female empowerment and equal opportunity why are we still not ok with women proposing to men?

All this and more with Rachel Corbett, Leigh Campbell and Jessie Stephens on the latest episode of Mamamia Out Loud...

Recommendations 

Leigh wants you to visit her You Beauty store at Sydney Airport Terminal 2. 

Jessie wants you to listen to the Book Club podcast and download The Dream Podcast.

Rach wants people to watch Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them and tell Jessie that she's wrong.

The bosses are on holidays so things are getting a little rowdy on this week's episode of Out Loud as Rachel Corbett and Leigh Campbell jump in the studio with Jessie.

Bachelor couple Matty J and Laura Byrne are having a baby. It’s glorious news, especially after they suffered a miscarriage earlier this year. And what’s even better is that they are having a baby without getting married, and in a year of big fancy weddings that’s refreshing as all hell.

Plus, we unpack everything you need to know about Yael Stone’s allegations against Geoffrey Rush.

We solve an uncomfortable group therapy and discuss the relationship feeling that every human on the planet has.

Strap yourselves in, it’s going to be a fun ride.

Karl Stefanovic married Jasmine Yarbrough over the weekend in Mexico and he's released photos to the media despite saying he'd be doing "no media deal."  So, can you have a problem with being followed by paparazzi if you're willing to profit from your fame?

Holly is about to fly back to the UK for Christmas and right into the heart of the Brexit mess.  It's two years on and not much has changed except that British Prime Minister Theresa May has survived a vote of no confidence. So what does it all mean and how did we get here? Holly’s ready to explain with the help of a trusty poo analogy.  

Plus, Jessie is concerned that our obsession with sleep is keeping us awake. Turns out our need for sleeping apps, sprays, magnesium oil, special pillowcases and dark rooms is making us MORE anxious. So what should we do?

Oh, and we've also got our best Lady Startup recommendations for Christmas...

Jessie: The Little Book of Bad Moods: Be Your Worst Self by Lotta Sonninen

It's Christmas party season so Holly is going to take you through all the rules you need to know to make sure you're doing it right.  Spoiler alert, if you're a fan of Prosecco you might be disappointed.  And since we're all being forced to mingle with work peeps, we share the perfect conversation starter if you hate small talk.

Plus we discuss the domestic violence video that's gone global with some very predictable fallout.  

And, surprise surprise, Jessie doesn’t like Christmas Carols, but there's one she finds particularly problematic...

If you've come looking for Elf On The Shelf tips you're in the wrong place. We're in the lead-up to Christmas and Holly's in the depths of Elf On The Shelf hell, for the umpteenth year running. But she's having a far better week than Chris Dawson, who was arrested for the suspected murder of his wife Lynette. He's been extradited to Sydney and refused bail. And it's all thanks to the incredible Hedley Thomas and the Teacher's Pet podcast, as well as some new witness statements. Plus, the Mamamia Out Loud team tackle a group therapy from a listener who's struggling with her ex-partner's new wedding plans. She wants to crawl into a hole and... drink. And what is The Merit Myth? It's had an effect on Sarah Hansen-Young in passing weeks, but funnily enough on very few men.

Everyone is wondering what happened to Serena Williams over the weekend.

The 36-year-old was in the grand final of the US open when she received a warning for allegedly taking instructions from her coach. What happened next has been described as a tantrum, an outburst, even a moment of hysteria. But was Serena right or wrong?

Plus, Gwyneth Paltrow is in trouble for telling women to stick jade eggs in their hoo-ha, and wedding dresses now have pockets. What a time to be alive.

This podcast will deal extensively with the subject of rape and won't be appropriate for all listeners. If this podcast does bring anything up for you then please call 1800 RESPECT.

When people think of feminism, they think of Germaine Greer. Her manifesto The Female Eunuch was released in 1970 and is still shaping conversations 48 years later.

But what happens when an icon - whose job it is to be provocative - exists in a culture of outrage?

Most recently, the release of her Melbourne University press book On Rape has led to an onslaught of headlines condemning her brand of feminism and questioning her relevance in 2018. And she joins Mamamia Out Loud co-host Jessie Stephens to talk about it in this very special episode...

Holly had a rough morning. One of her kids fish died and things got ugly.

But that aside, we’ve got a lot to talk about. Like how many outfits do you need for your own funeral? Aretha Franklin HAD FOUR.

Plus, with the last grand slam tournament taking place for the year, we need to talk about female tennis players outfits. It seems a lot of people have opinions on what women wear on the court, but is it really that big of a deal?

And what happens when dads and daughters disconnect?

Sometimes, when you don't ask for a new Prime Minister, you get one anyway.

Phone calls are dead. But there are four (count 'em) conversations that you just can't have over text. Or, can you?

When Netflix dropped the trailer for Insatiable, many, many people asked for it to be banned. 'No', we said. 'Let's wait and see', we said. Well, it's here, and is it as bad and offensive as it seemed? Our Entertainment Editor Laura Brodnik says no, it's worse.

Also, it's been two years since Instagram invented Stories. And we have one question: Are We Having Fun Yet?

After five Prime Minister’s in 8 years - are we really back here? We can't guarantee that we're 100 per cent sure who the Prime Minister is right now, but on Tuesday Peter Dutton challenged Malcolm Turnbull for the Prime Ministership. Suddenly it is 2012 all over again. What the heck is going on in Canberra? We get Sharri Markson, the National Political Editor of the Daily Telegraph to explain.

Plus, Madonna is 60 - and there seems to be a real generational divide about who cares. Which begs the question, is she still relevant?

And Jacinda Ardern turned down a pay rise and the Minister for Women in New Zealand rode a bike to the hospital to give birth - so why do the Kiwis get all the cool politicians?

Right now, 99% of New South Wales is in drought. Other parts of the country are in drought, on drought watch or about to go into drought onset. For us here in the city, it’s really easy to assume that it rains all the time. But when you’ve been waiting for rain for most of the year - things can get pretty tough.

Which is why, here at Mamamia Out Loud - we want to help. So - we’re taking our Mamamia Out Loud live shows, to two of the biggest regional hubs in New South Wales - Tamworth and Dubbo.

And all profits raised will be put back into the communities, thanks to the charity we are partnering with - Drought Angels.

We will be in Tamworth on Friday the 17th of August and Dubbo Thursday the 20th of September.

There's a lot going on this week...

Science says cats are better than dogs, we do a whole segment on men and their feelings and we talk about boobs. Specifically, what do you tell people if you've had a breast reduction but don't want to say you've had said reduction? It's a tricky one.

Plus, Beyonce and Jay Z have just released a new album together.  Two years on from the album where she told the world he was a lying, cheating dog, which begs the question is this the most public patch up in pop culture history ever?

And we need to talk about men. And their feelings.

Many moons ago we had a conversation about how there are two types of women, poodles, and wolves. Everyone wanted to be a poodle. But now, everyone wants to be a wolf. Why? Because former Olympic soccer player Abby Wambach made a rousing speech and urged all women to be the wolf instead of Little Red Riding Hood in their lives. And to that, we say preach.

Pretty sure it is safe to say that no one in Australia likes a cheater.

The nation is still up in arms after the Australian cricket team tampered with the ball in an attempt to win a test. So is it time to stop looking at the sports field for our role models?

And can you be a feminist and have an affair? On No Filter this week Mia sat down with Blanche d’Alpuget and her thoughts on fidelity and feminism made a lot of people angry.

Plus, is it problematic that all the Bachelor in Paradise people do is drink?

And, last week footage emerged of cricketer David Warner confronting South African wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock in the stairwell on the way to the dressing room. As it turns out, de Kock had been sledging Warner about the fact his wife Candice Falzon once had sex with Sonny Bill Williams.

Hands up if you wish life came with a "no chat" button? Is that all hands up we see? Yeah, thought so. This week Leigh and Rach are calling for rideshare apps to come with an option to request "no small talk."

Plus, we need to talk about the barney going on between Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker because, as Mia says, people can have disagreements but it doesn’t mean women can’t work together.

Outlouders, it’s been the biggest kept secret in the New England electorate, and now we know that Barnaby Joyce is expecting a child with his former-staffer. But what about the family that’s been left behind? Plus, skincare is making a comeback and Mia would argue it’s because it is something you can control in this crazy world. Yes. And is Married At First Sight Problematic? Only Jessie knows that answer...

Outlouders, did you know that when it comes to modern dating you aren’t supposed to give someone your surname until things get serious? Yeah, we didn’t know that either…#uncool.

Also, if you’ve been sitting at home wondering why your boss only gives you white wine for Christmas but gives your male colleague red, we’ve got the answer.

And, on a more serious note, there’s a mental health crisis happening in rural Australia that no one is talking about. So what can we do?

One week without Holly and we’ve all turned into bendable reeds....let's see how long that lasts.

This week, Rachel Corbett steps into the driver's seat and things get a little loose.

Mia decides she might change her name to something more suited to her career, Jessie explains why Jacinda Ardern being pregnant and the Prime Minister is a very big deal and Rach is called a man. 

Oh, and we go DEEP on Germaine Greer’s comments to see if the frustrations of members of the #metoo movement are justified.

Here at Mamamia Out Loud we wondered how we should talk about the devastating suicide of 14-year-old Dolly Everett.

Would we be invading the families privacy? What could we add to the conversation?  How could we make a difference?

But we realised when tragedies happen you need to talk about them.  To process them, to shed light on them and to try to prevent them from happening again. 

To do this we rang friend of the show Rebecca Sparrow, a woman who talks to teenage girls for a living to learn more about what we can do. 

If you are going through a difficult time and feel like you need help or just someone to talk to, please ring Lifeline on 13 11 14.

Since we're a show of light and shade, we also discuss if women quitting there jobs is the right way to close the gender pay gap and why Kanye West is forcing Kim Kardashian to wear teeny tiny sunglasses.

Like we said, we're a show of light and shade.

We're baaacckkk. Happy 2018 Outlouders. What a year we are going to have.

First things first though...we need to discuss the Golden Globes. Specifically the fact that Oprah may be running for President in 2020. Mia thinks it’s a great idea, Holly not so much.

Plus, Jessie spent a lot of time at the beach over the summer break and she’s feeling a bit bad about her body, so we’re here to fix it.

And can’t stop picking up your phone? It could be fixed with a coffee colonic. Jokes. Maybe. We might need to ask Gwyneth about that.

Last October, Mia, Jessie and Holly sat on a stage in Sydney and did their first ever live show. It was an awesome night.  There was wine, chips and Mia even sang a song.

And today is the day we finally release it into your ears. It’s not the full two hours...because you’ve got to be at the show to get that! But it’s a package of our favourite moments.  Expect talk of millennial banter, botox and a lot of laughs.

We began the year watching a man who has been accused of sexual assault by no fewer than 13 women being sworn in as the 45th President of the United States.

We’ve ended in the middle of an earth-shifting #metoo movement, which has seen powerful men stripped of their untouchable status along with their honours and sometimes, their livelihoods.

Rachel and Holly are joined by the face of our local #metoo movement, journalist, activist and feminist Tracey Spicer to talk about how 2017 became the year the world woke up to sexual harrasment.

2017 was the year Australia finally decided it was time to make it legal for same sex couples to marry and to say it’s been a long journey is an understatement. Placed in the “too hard” basket by both Labour and the Coalition for too long, we began it might not ever happen.

What followed was possibly even more controversial - a non-binding postal vote. But, we got there in the end and just this month the first same sex couple got married.

The former Prime Minister Tony Abbott was the leading face of the NO campaign but his sister, Sydney City Councillor Christine Forster, became a powerful voice for change and she joins us to look back on the year that was.

Merry Christmas, Outlouders. But please, don't even think about charging people to eat your festive lunch. That's the vibe from a Group Therapy question you really need to hear.

Also, if you're wondering whether to break up or stay together these holidays - the answer could lie in a loaf of bread.

And does Matt Damon need to just stop talking? Or is it impossible to say the right thing at this moment of Reckoning.

And lastly, there's a very smart reason why one of the world's most powerful women wears the same dress every damn day. But we don't think Mia's going to like it...

Outlouders, last night Jessie stepped into enemy territory. She and twin sister Claire went to the Milo Yiannopoulos "show", and they lived to tell the story... and play the audio.

Also, it’s the question everyone needs to ask. When it comes to relationships - are you a flower or a gardener?

We don't want to alarm you, but if you have arms that are attached to your body - chances are you have an armpit vagina. And you should be ashamed of yourself.

Also, are there some things you just can’t joke about? On comedian Tom Ballard’s new show Tonightley on the ABC - a sketch video was played about how to grow a sexual harasser - and it has a lot of people up in arms...

Ever since one of Hollywood's most powerful men, Harvey Weinstein, was exposed as a sexual predator who had been preying on women in his industry for four decades, the list of men behaving disgustingly has been growing at an incredible rate. Yesterday, thanks to the tireless work of some stellar Australian journalists - primary amongst them Kate McCLymont and Tracey Spicer - a big Australian name was added to that list. Don Burke.

The now 70 -year-old was once the biggest name in Australian television. His show, Burke's Backyard spun off into specials, a magazine and a million lucrative events and appearances. He could do no wrong. But the rumours about his behaviour towards women never changed, he was, as legendary TV executive Sam Chisholm told the Fairfax press yesterday, 'a disgrace' and a 'terrible grub'.

So what does this mean? And what will happen next? Rachel, Holly and Jessie discuss...

If you're wearing jeans, you're not a feminist. Sorry. According to Aussie actress Caitlin Stasey, jeans don't leave enough room for your Lady Bits and that's extremely problematic. Before you throw them out though, spare a thought for poor millennials. They're having their midlife crises as young as 27 and Jessie reckons she knows why. Plus, an awkward listener dilemma tempts one woman to quit her job, and Rachel Corbett recommends you stare at a wall for the weekend.

Frances Abbott, daughter of ex-PM Tony Abbott, confirmed her engagement to Australian Olympic rower Sam Loch but the pair have only been dating two weeks. So, how quick is too quick for a proposal?

And do you paint your fingernails the same as your toenails? It’s the dilemma that Holly has some (surprisingly) hard and fast rules about.

Plus, why does everyone hate Lena Dunham? The Girls creator defended her friend Murray Miller when he was accused of sexual assault this week. So did she cast doubt over the legitimacy of women’s stories everywhere, or did she do the right thing?

Shut the front door, Outlouders. Jessie Stephens has a recommendation today that will blow your hair back, and it's all about what should - and should never - go near your pink parts.

Also, have you ever been 'stashed'? It's a new word for a relationship situation that's as old as time. Has it happened to you?

Is it ever okay to 'shirt-front' the Prime Minister? Karl Stefanovic did it this week. Was it investigative journalism in action? Or just plain rude?

Senator Larissa Waters, the first woman to breastfeed on the floor of Parliament, this week discovered she’s actually a dual citizen of Canada and Australia, which means she's out of politics. Terrible news for her but I guess now she's closer to Justin Trudeau. After a CEO devised a sneaky "text test" for employees, we ask; if your boss texts you after hours, should you respond?  Can the 5:2 diet work for other parts of your life? Another diabolical bridesmaid story broke this week so we ask: is it time to ditch bridesmaids all together? And from bridesmaids to Handmaids: we talk more about our latest TV obsession, and we discover Elisabeth Moss has more in common with her character than we realised.

How do you know if your pink parts are "normal"? There's no such thing, which is why the labia library exists. Also, did you know that your hair has as many germs as a dirty mop? No, us neither. Also on today's show, why what Rob Kardashian did to Blac Chyna was NOT "revenge porn", how can we keep young backpackers safe in Australia and why none of us can stop talking about The Handmaid's Tale. Under his eye, people.

Today, Mamamia Out Loud has so many questions: What is a 'broflake', and are they in any way okay? Is Australia kidding itself that we are a classless society? Twenty years on from Sex And The City, who is the character we still want to be? And, is it ever okay to ask a woman in a job interview if she has children, even if you're just making small talk? Plus, the listener question about a bare-chested statue that we can't stop looking at...

Does anyone want to see Serena Williams Vs John McEnroe on centre court? We'd pay to see that. After the former tennis tantrum-thrower said Williams would get beaten by men, we ask; is it even fair to compare women and men's sport? Ed Sheeran put his girlfriend to the test and we’re not sure how to feel. Female Tradies have been slammed by people saying their service is sexist, and we have the perfect response. And is putting rich CEO's in "homeless" situations poverty porn? Plus, if you missed the Census, good news about those pesky census fines, and this tax time, claim what's rightfully yours, including a new handbag. (And if you're a footballer, rest easy, your on-field altercations are all tax-deductible). Plus - we are living in the age of anxiety. What the hell is going on? And what can you do if someone you love is in crisis?

It's the middle of the year which means two things; your social media feed is about to be taken over with shots of friends on holidays, and to rub salt into the wound, it's time for your yearly performance review. Don't worry, we got you. Jessie has a solution for the non-holiday blues, and if you're sniffing around for a pay rise we speak to Shark Tank's Janine Allis about what bosses really want to hear.  Plus, mothers who regret becoming mothers. The unspoken reality for some women has this week bubbled to the surface. Is it a necessary conversation, or should it remain unsaid? The 16 year old who will remind you of that time when you felt invincible. And dogs in public. Dogs in shops, in hairdressers, in cafes, at the gym, and in the workplace. When did dogs become equal to humans in public spaces?

What are women talking about this week? Us. Mia Freedman addresses her podcast interview with Roxane Gay. Meanwhile, controversy abounds over charity beanies and Gwyneth Paltrow is running a $1500-a-ticket wellness seminar where we can drink bone broth and talk about our churning guts. Melania Trump has moved into the White House, where she's about to find out that the reno restrictions are tougher than The Block. We have a fascinating listener question from a woman who, when she sold something on Gumtree, accidentally made a new friend, but she isn't sure she really wanted to. Jessie Stephens has an airport purchase that you'll actually want, and grab your shower pouffe and take a deep breath, Monz has the essential Spotify playlist for crappy times.

Regular listeners to Mamamia Out Loud will know that our glorious host and Executive Producer, Monique Bowley, has been away from her usual seat. On this episode update ahead of tomorrow's "normal" show, she talks about where she has been. Monz, Mia and Jessie discuss the reality of going through such an "ordinary" tragedy, one that thousands of women can relate to, but no-one wants to discuss. Monz talks about the guilt she can't shake, what has helped her through the last few weeks and what really hasn't. And please, just join us in giving Monz the biggest audio hug you can muster.

If you light your scented candles with a regulation 'man match', you're doing it all wrong...a company has invented a female only lighter, and Mia needs one right now. In the wake of the terror attacks in London, Sydney, and Paris, we're all asking ourselves: are we suffering from terror fatigue? And the outrageous image of Kathy Griffin holding Donald Trump's severed head has been littered across our news feeds all week long, but did the US comedian really cross a line?

Have you heard? Schapelle Corby is home. She’s even on Instagram. And possibly has more followers than you. While the media go into a frenzy to find her, it begs the question - should we leave Schapelle alone? Plus, there’s a Baywatch movie, (yes, we know - Baywatch) starring Zac Efron but all anyone can talk about are his ginormous muscles. Are men subjected to the same ridiculous body standards as women? And should Margaret Court’s name be taken off the arena in Melbourne?

In 2017, is monogamy overrated? Open Marriages are on the rise, but can it work or is it too much effort? Is Cassie Sainsbury the new Schapelle Corby? And what does her being a sex worker have to do with anything? “Imposter syndrome” is the new buzzword for career women, but is it the new humblebrag? A theory that everyone is making the same Instagram moves but no one wants to admit it. Should cafe’s and restaurants have “soft rooms” for people who just want to be comfortable and have a conversation? And the politics of gift giving at work: how much? How often? And can you just say 'How about no'?

No one tell John Laws, but in this workplace, women actually wear pants. This week, we take a look at some other casual sexism from the week. But don't get your frilly knickers in a knot; because it's alllll just a joke.

Earlier this year it was Bernard Salt who said Millenials can’t afford houses because they spend too much on smashed avo. Now a millionaire property tycoon says it's our addiction to lattes and the finer things in life that is stopping us stepping onto the property ladder. Does he have a point? There's a new slow-dating app but not everyone is convinced.  Bill Gates has answered the all-important question; What's the best age to give your child a smartphone? Plus, we need to talk about the post-baby selfie. You know the one; a bikini shot just days after your placenta plopped out.  Is it empowering, or a punch in the guts to other women?

There are many, many books written by many successful women who talk about how wildly successful they are.

Mia Freedman's book is not one of them. 

In typical Mia style, it's her life laid bare: the mistakes, setbacks, and slip ups. The kind of life lessons you won't see in an Instagram quote.

It's helpful, honest, a tome for women who thinks 'am I the only one who feels like this'? 

Join Mia in conversation with Mamamia's Monique Bowley, Jessie Stephens, and Holly Wainwright. Three women in their 20's, 30's and 40's, who each took something entirely different from the book.

One minute, Cassie Sainsbury was a 22-year-old who was buying headphones for her wedding. The next, she's in a Colombian prison under drug charges. Why are we so obsessed with this story? The AFL has made history again, with Hawthorn hiring their first female CEO. Is it cynical to think it's another glass cliff situation? Vogue have announced the Wedding Trends That Are Sooooo Over For 2017 and we can't help but dissect. Is it still taboo for women to date men significantly younger than them? Does age in relationships really matter all that much?  Everyone loves Masterchef, (including us), but does it need a female judge quota introduced or are we cooked in the head? And if Facebook's targeted ads are making you feel bad about your life, join the club.

There are a few things that remain sacred in the Australian landscape. ANZAC day is one of them. So when commentator Yassmin Abdel-Magid suggested that Australians should instead spare a thought for those on Manus Island and in Syria, it went down like a lead balloon. But isn't this the freedom of speech that our ANZAC soldiers fought for? What’s the right amount of Maternity leave to take? Anne-Marie Slaughter, former advisor to Hillary Clinton, says 12 months of maternity leave is too long and it will damage your career.

A listener wants to know why her best friend is now suddenly acting superior after having a baby. It's 'mother martyr' syndrome and it's everywhere. Remember Hygge? That's over. The new hot lifestyle trend is Lagom. Would you let your partner dine alone with a member of the opposite sex? Mike Pence, the Vice President of the United States, has outlined his rules for marriage, and they are fascinating. A white woman was turned away from a multicultural playgroup and it’s exactly the kind of bad press that mums groups DON’T NEED. And saying 'No' is one of the hardest things to do: we have a trick that means you can do it without feeling like a jerk.

So many questions this week. Is the price of bananas about to skyrocket? If you give birth in a Cyclone should you name the baby after the Cyclone during which you birthed? If you're a powerful woman discussing national issues do you need to shave your legs so the paper can report on them instead of your important work? Can you claim to be into clean living, and still have botox? Have you ever been summoned to the bosses office and been asked to show your boobs? When someone says "did you have a GOOD weekend" are they actually asking if you got a shag in?  In a world of hustle and striving to be better, what happened to ever being "mediocre"? And we know teens want to get drunk and have sex, but what happens when things go wrong, are filmed, and then distributed all throughout the school? Have parents gone soft when it comes to cracking down?

Plus, the app, TV show and podcast recommendation for your downtime. Whenever the hell that is.

Have you been called a "difficult" woman? This week Pia Miller, Home and Away actress was in Elle magazine, described as exhibiting a “zealous level of control”. Is the criticism justified? Or is a bossy woman inevitably a bitch? Also, is wolf whistling the worst, the three million dollar wedding that ended up in court, and why International Happiness Day is a crock. Plus, if you hate your body, and you aren’t convinced by the “body positivity movement” it’s time to embrace "body neutrality".

Cartoonist Bill Leak died.  But rather than celebrating his life, many of his critics have vocally celebrated his death. Should we always respect someone in death, even if we didn’t agree with them?  The Girls episode that blew open a conversation many of us had been too afraid to have. Is there such thing as casual sexual assault? Plus - have you noticed anything about RomComs of late? There’s an argument that modern dating has changed the ‘happily ever after’ narrative for movies in Hollywood. Plus, we're on Amal Clooney Bump Watch, Monique has had enough of sexualised songs on radio, Amy Schumer's new Netflix comedy gets roasted, and the Sydney School Boys who started the biggest conversation on International Women's Day.

This #IWD we are having a women's only show! Hosted by three women! Produced by an actual woman!  Talking about women's issues! Incredible!

Seriously, though. We talk about Emma Watson's Vanity Fair cover. There's a new move for equality for pedestrian crossing symbols. Have you heard of The Alpha Wife? They're ruining marriages. Should you fake an orgasm or is that just rewarding bad behaviour? And the most juicy dilemma; a listener whose best friend wants to ensnare her in a Pyramid scheme. Awks.

It's the thinking woman's guilty pleasure but do we need to butt out on the Canadian Prime Minister's pants policy? The world's biggest Oscars stuff up revealed one hero who we need in our lives. Is it ever ok to say you don't want a man to babysit your child? Is the term 'basic bitch' offensive or just funny? The new penalty rates decision brings some workplace tension, but it's not the worst thing we've ever heard in the workplace.... and should Hot Cross Buns be an all year proposition or a sometimes food?

From an ageless Christie Brinkley posing on a magazine cover at 63 to "empower" women, to seeing Karl Stefanovic's new girlfriend papped in the media, there's a lot of things to call out this week. Should suicide be more widely reported in the media? We examine the ethics involved, compared to the need for awareness. Mia recaps the week in Trump, and we found a Kick Arse Woman Doing Kick Arse Things of Kick Arsery that will make your jaw drop.

All the celebs are up the duff.  It's a Hollywood baby boom. Why does it make some women feel so terrible? There are calls to boycott Fifty Shades Darker, we examine the rules for fashion-at-a-certain-age, can teachers secretly play Kill, Marry, F*ck about students? Jessie roadtests Air-Tasker for a Valentines Day date, Monz found the best Kick Arse Women Doing Kick Arse Things of Kickarsery, and Mia Freedman ran into Anna Wintour in New York. No biggie.

What happens when you give women a wine and say 'tell us what you really think'? This. We talk the Kardashian Book Club, sex lives of celebrities that we have no business in, when you commercialise your kids for your own monetary gain (looking at you Beyonce), whether career women make bad mothers, and it's Jessie's most daring love experiment yet. You'll need a Mintie after this one.

Is Tziporah Malkah the most interesting woman on TV right now? She has some stiff competition because this week the NSW Minister for Women admitted she's pro-life, meteorologists said we need to dump the term 'weather girls', Melania Trump continued to look utterly despondent, and there was a crazy ex-girlfriend on Married At First Sight.  It's not all bad news though; we talk the AFL women's launch, and the kitchen trick that will transform your cheap wine into expensive tasting plonk.

We have a new Premier, a new President, and it's a new period. This week, it's kick arse women doing kick-arse things of kick-arsery: Gladys Berjiklian, Serena Williams and the Women's AFL are making us happy. There's A Dummies Guide to the Hottest 100, to get you through any conversation with your cool-factor intact. Is asking a dad permission for marriage completely outdated? And should having children be taught at school? Jessie road-tests a dating guru's advice with interesting results. The peculiar habit of never having enough tampons in the house, unfortunate overseas chemist experiences, and the game-changing podcast, brilliant film, and trashy TV show you need to get onto, pronto.

No jacket? No job. When Channel 9’s Amber Sherlock's had an off-air spat leaked, the world cried “bully”.  But was her behavior really so disgraceful? The latest Australia Day lamb ad has received widespread acclaim, but there are some people who aren't impressed. And calling all single ladies; we have the one phrase you can say to someone that will make them fall for you in an instant, and we want you to roadtest it. Write it on your hand, (hopefully you don’t get too sweaty and it rubs off), and go for it. We dare you.

Side vag, full vag, bum-baring. The red carpet this year was all about peek-a-boos, cut-outs and flesh flesh flesh. Is everyone on excellent terms with their laser hair removalist? What kind of underwear trickery has to happen? Who wore it (or didn't wear it) best? And despite how entertaining it all was, there's another darker message it's sending.

In 2012 it was activated almonds. In 2013 it was quinoa and acai bowls. Last year, Kale stole everyone’s hearts. And in 2016, Australia stopped for Avocado. It’s the fruit of the Zeitgeist. On menus in every corner of the country, beloved by hipsters and health nuts alike, you can buy an avocado facial, avocado chips and avocado brownies, and avocado tatts are up 800%. But its influence went far beyond food and fashion. It sparked an intergenerational war.

Don your best choker. Pull on your denim overalls. Put down Pokemon Go for a minute, and switch Gilmore Girls off the TV, because 2016 was a 90's nostalgia fest. From Full House, to the Spice Girls reunion, why are we suddenly craving the delights of the nineties? It's psychology, of course, and social media. But enjoy it while it lasts because there's a theory that mass nostalgia, the way we've seen it emerge this year, will never happen again.

Grab chocolate and wine and join the Out Loud team (and a few others) for a real-time debrief about what a Trumpocalypse means for America, women and the world.

Holly Wainwright, Mia Freedman and Jessie Stephens are joined by Senior Editor Jackie Lunn, writer Rosie Waterland and friend of Mamamia and current US resident Kate Spies to discuss the results. Gulp.

  • This podcast was recorded before the election result was officially announced.

Melbourne Cup may be over, but online gawking at drunk women at the races is not. Why? Isn’t it time we stopped snapping tipsy race-goers as if they’re wild animals in a nature documentary? Victoria's Secret have offered us something #diverse by having a model with stretch marks. The only problem is you can't see them. Plus, should animal owners refer to themselves as their pets' “mum” and “dad’? Jessie thinks yes. And the great generation debate returns.

Are you a nasty woman? We hope so. How this insult has become a badge of honor for women. Behind every successful man is a woman. So when a marriage breaks down, who ends up worse off? Taylor Swift got groped on the arse by a man and her response was exactly what we all need. Australias most Instagram famous toddler, Sonny Blake, isn’t just cute. Some say he is changing the perception of modern fatherhood. And is asking a woman when she plans on having a baby a)none of your business or b)none of your actual business?

Do you brunch out without a care for the cost? Are you living a lavish life of daily takeaway lattes? No wonder you can’t buy a house.  It's an intergenerational war over housing affordability, and things get uglier than an overripe avocado. Australians are grieving over the tragic story of the Davidson deaths. What does it say about family violence, mental health and community? Is Melania Trump a prisoner who is sending us signals with her eyelashes? Has Donald Trump's attitude ignited a new wave of political incorrectness? And where the SMEG is Oprah in all of this? And for those planning a Halloween costume, a guide to selecting a completely inoffensive and boring option so you don’t trigger anyone. You can never be too careful. And Ask Bossy gives her final piece of advice, and ends her time with the show on a Sultana cake. Because we had to.

After Donald Trump dismissed sexist comments as 'locker room' banter, we asked some male athletes what they actually talk about in locker rooms. How could a joyous pregnancy announcement possible spark a backlash? And do you drink to celebrate, commiserate, for stress reasons, because you're happy, because the kids have gone to bed, or because they haven't yet? Problem drinking has a new face; women. But are our support services keeping up? And all hail Turia Pitt. She's a miracle.

The terrible, no good response to Kim Kardashian's Paris hold up. What does it say about our approach to women who don't play by the rules? Australian Story this week was an ethical dilemma; should a couple with Down Syndrome get to have a baby? Just when we got used to side boob, side vag has appeared to give us all a stress rash, and would you sit on a park bench and talk to strangers? Also, why are car ads still so sexist? We have the perfect mask for scaring the crap out of everyone this Halloween and Holly has a Netflix pick that you can add to your watch list.

It's fine, he's a feminist, we checked. This week Mia is wearing her Hillary T-shirt, and glowing, so we unpack the top moments from the US presidential debate. At home, there was a small, but important shift in the way we view red carpets. Is fit-shaming the new fat-shaming? Shane Warne: loveable larrakin or creepy uncle? Is it a bit wrong that Pauline Hanson's face is on a dog poo bag? Are you an introvert or just an arsehole? And if you're washing your hair with shampoo then conditioner you're doing it wrong.

Pass the tissues, and put your hand over your mouth. Hillary Clinton has pneumonia. What does this mean for the woman who could be president? We've had a gutful of this same-sex marriage plebiscite but if we're going to spend $185 million on asking Australians what they think, should we throw a few other questions in too? The no-pants fashion moment that we can't stop looking at, why the Cleo Bachelor of the Year sparked another big idea from Mia. Plus Ask Bossy has advice for an impossible mother in law.

The new Lamb ad is a big meaty display of diversity but there's one thing we noticed. Lena Dunham forced to apologise for racism; is outrage culture out of control? The best part of the AFL women's game had nothing to do with what happened on the field. Should taxpayers stop funding IVF in women who are trying to have babies much later in life? Can we please talk about Kyly Clarke's Baby Baptism? Can someone call Sarah Koenig to make the Tromp family mystery into season three of Serial? And advice for when you want a spray tan before you go into labour.

This week, the furniture is shifting on Mamamia Out Loud. It could be the very heated debate that flares around Mia's opinion on nude selfies. It could be the warmth rising from the red faces about the celebrity names we've been saying incorrectly all these years. It could be the fury around the Salim Mehajer video that the nation is obsessed with this week. Or it could be a wave of relief at us finally finding a parenting book that validates our laziness. As ever, it's three women talking about absolutely everything. 

And a warning, this week's episode does deal with adult themes.

The census was a shemozzle. But among the outcry, won't someone think of the statisticians? Women athletes rule the Olympics, but the good-looking ones rule more.

It's the perfect way to categorise your life.  Ask Bossy has some real talk for anyone stuck in a job they hate.

We unpack the Sonia Kruger racism debate and wonder: what does free speech entail, exactly? And why do celebrity opinions make the news?  What is “cultural appropriation” and does it mean we all need to stop wearing bindi’s and kimonos?

The emoji change that's well overdue, the cult of fitness, the sperm of Mick Jagger, the joy of a sultana cake, and why you should go and see Tarzan and Ghostbusters this weekend.

Sydney's beachside mansions fell into the water and we are a tiny-bit-not-sad-about it. The unfortunate side effect of yoga and pilates that no one is talking about.  Generation Y claim they are too poor to have children but do they just need to stop buying Diptyque candles and avocado smash? Crocs (the shoes) are worse for you than we thought.

Remember the days when you'd set the VCR? Or have to be home Sunday nights at 6:30pm to catch the once-a-week Disney movie? Or have to sit next to people on the couch and watch the same show, on the one screen?

HA. 

2015 was a game-changer for the way we watch TV.  A glut of streaming services entered Australia, feeding us quality TV programming, when we wanted it and how we wanted it.  

The result? A rennaisance of quality programming that we devoured. Families that can spend a night all enjoying something different. But what's the major downside? You literally cannot talk to anyone for fear of spoilers.

Social media is rife with #humblebrags, so why are women crap at talking themselves up in real life? Do you forget things easily? We can now blame "Google brain" for that. We talk paternity leave, dating at the gym, breakfast raves, mouthguards in bed, and who Taylor Swift should choose as her Australian #girlsquad representative.

The world is due to end today so we're getting some stuff off our chest. Mia accidentally shoplifted. And she burnt her fanny with hot tea. The very unfashionable Monique thinks Qantas should take a bow for saying no to thongs, and Bachelorette Sam Frost should stop wearing 1990's hoop earrings. And is it wrong to stockpile limited edition icecreams? For Jamila, it feels so right.

Also today, mental health week. The media portrayal of a family murder-suicide has us asking questions about family violence assumptions. And have you lost your job? The things no one tells you.

It's the podcast where TMI is barely enough.

Plus the wedding trend deemed "worst of all time", why magazines still sex up smart women, the compelling case for Jimmy Barnes avatars and the one thing Mia Freedman does when she walks past abortion protestors.

This special breakout podcast is what everyone's talking about, yelling about, protesting about and disagreeing about: Fifty Shades of Grey. 

We take two women that have seen it, each with a different view.

One, a sunshiny soul who hadn't read the books and didn't know what to expect. 

The other, a fiery, give-no-shits powerhouse who devoured all three books, and loved them "with one hand." 

What happens? Shit goes down is what. 

This is the definitive guide to the drama and controversy.  The sex scenes. The global reviews.  The wider social message this movie is provoking.

And, above all, the answer to whether you should bother seeing it.

As Monique says, "It's like Margaret and David. With a lot more fucks."

*warning. Swear jar. Adult themes.

As this weekend's release of the steamiest movie of the year looms, not everyone is rushing out to buy a ticket.  With calls to boycott the movie for  "glorifying" violence against women, we ask; why is there such a real-life response to this fictional story?

The "debasement" continues when Monique is cornered into admitting something verrrrry private.

Mega songstress superstar Sia has a social phobia that sees her don wigs for events, cover her face on TV, and wear a paper bag over her head for magazine covershoots. Her approach has raised some interested questions in the age of celebrity: could anxiety ever be used as a marketing tool?

And is it possible to like Jacqui Lambie?

Show notes

Rosie Waterland expected the movie to be a cheesy laugh.  Instead, she walked out on the verge of tears.

Lisa Wilkinson ripped it a new one, giving it one star. And that's was just for the choc-top she consoled herself with. 

Here's 10 deeply disturbing things about Fifty Shades of Grey

Monique is still blushing. Please send messages of support or disbelief to the show facebook page or twitter @moniquebowley

What's it really like being on a reality TV show? Monique knows. She's been on one. And she hasn't eaten a croissant since. Also, it's Rebel Wilson's birthday but her actual real-life age is a mystery.  Why are we so scared of getting older? Mia had a conversation about the pill with both her mother and her 9 year old daughter...but for good reason. And there's a new food movement that is the polar opposite of Pete Evans.

Tony Abbott cocked up this knighthood all on his own, so why is his chief of staff Peta Credlin getting all the heat? Sam Armytage poses in a swimsuit and we ask: was it empowering, predictable, or insulting? In defence of oversized, beige coloured undies. And why Australia needs a judge to rule against parents who name their babies after breakfast spreads. 

Show notes:

Why is Peta Credlin's job on the line?

The Sam Armytage cover that has everyone talking 

The woman that has stopped wearing leggings because they 'entice' men.

And poor baby Nutella, who shall no longer be named after a delicious hazelnut spread.

Mia loves the Startup Podcast.

Jamila mentioned the book Freakonomics: the baby name information is here. 

You can email the show at podcast@mamamia.com.au and ask us anything.

Should the Martin Place hostages get paid? Why don't we care as much about the Bali 9 as we did about Schapelle? It's the return of Mamamia Out Loud for 2015 and with awards season unfolding we're rolled out the red carpet on topics big and small. Jen Aniston holds a masterclass in how to deal with your ex, one woman has gone to drastic lengths to get out of a date, and not everyone is happy about the Taylor Swift campaign for the Hottest 100. Finally; we ask the question that's divided the office: can you wee in front of your friends?
