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. CONTACT US Feedback? We’re listening!

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.

We need to talk about Grace Tame, Brittany Higgins, and 'Men Like That.'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?And, should the school day be longer?

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.

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.  Become a Mamamia subscriber: https://www.mamamia.com.au/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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?

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. THE END BITS: With thanks to Kirstie Clements here. And Paula Joye here.

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.  THE END BITS: With thanks to Ita Buttrose and Bridget Griffen-Foley Find out more about Extraordinary Stories here: https://omny.fm/shows/extraordinary-stories/playlists/extraordinary-stories  Find out more about MPlus at www.mamamia.com.au/mplus  RESOURCES WE USED: Australian Story on Kerry Packer https://www.abc.net.au/austory/a-complicated-life-part-1/12858254  Paper Giants: The Birth Of Cleo https://www.abc.net.au/tv/papergiants/  A Passionate Life by Ita Buttrose  GET IN TOUCH: Feedback?

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?

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.

All we want to talk about is the Olympics. This week, work has really been getting in the way of our Olympic schedule. Swimming conflicting with meetings… it’s very stressful… If you've been in the same boat, Jessie has picked out all the moments you might have missed, and the things that have got everyone talking this week. Plus, Holly needs to talk about tinned fish. Specifically, why sardines and anchovies are suddenly “Hot Girl Food”. And our best and worst of the week, which range from playlists to… oranges.  The End Bits Recommendations: Mia wants you to check out Briony Benjamin's Spotfiy playlist to lift your spirits and celebrate her new book.

One of the most famous athletes in the world has made headlines everywhere, after pulling out of the women’s team gymnastics final in Tokyo. So why did Simone Biles quit?

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? Plus, an Olympic team’s uniform choice has changed the conversation about “revealing” sportswear. And… 41 percent of people say they’re thinking about a major life change, 18 months into a global pandemic. So… are you thinking about quitting your job yet?

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.   And, our best and worst of the week, which includes TV shows and zoom school.

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.  Listen to his podcast The Imperfects in your podcast app now.  GET IN TOUCH: Feedback?

The billionaires are pissing Jessie off.

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.  The End Bits Recommendations: Jessie and Mia want you to watch Luxe Listings Sydney on Prime Video CREDITS Hosts: Mia Freedman, Jessie Stephens and Holly Wainwright Producer: Emma Gillespie  Executive Producer: Elissa Ratliff CONTACT US Via our PodPhone on 02 8999 9386Via our email at outloud@mamamia.com.au  Via our Outlouders Facebook page- https://www.facebook.com/groups/329632330777506/Mamamia Out Loud is a podcast by Mamamia https://www.mamamia.com.au/author/mamamiaoutloud/ Mamamia acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the Land we have recorded this podcast on, the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation.

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?

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?

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?

“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.

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.

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.

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.

Within 24 hours, she received nearly 300 responses, with 73 percent of them saying yes.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.  THE END BITS Recommendations: Holly and Jessie think you should go see The Dry at the movies.

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.

Holly, Mia and Jessie are passing the mic to three talented First Nations women today, for a very special episode of Mamamia Out Loud. Shahni Wellington, Isabella Higgins, and Laura Thompson take us through how they're spending this January 26, where they're at emotionally after such a significant year, and what they do to 'survive Survival Day.' Plus, a listener dilemma from a young non-indigenous woman who wants to have more meaningful conversations with her family.  And, what these bright and brave minds are doing to look after their wellbeing during a difficult time of year for Indigenous communities.  THE END BITS Recommendations: Isabella wants you to listen to the Happiness Lab podcast, you can find The Yield by Tara June Winch at all good bookstores or on Booktopia here.

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.

It's the inauguration conversation Out Louders have been waiting for. Mia, Holly and Jessie dissect the highs and lows of a week in Washington the world won't soon forget.  Plus, Amelia Lester joins us on the phone from Washington DC. Her husband works in congress, she details what it was like not knowing if he was safe during the recent riots, and tells us what the mood has been like since.  And, Best and Worst is back. Jessie has exciting book news, Mia is worried about her neck, and Holly's excited for her dad. THE END BITS Recommendations: Mia is obssessed with sunscreen right now (and always.)

The Australian Open lockdown saga is continuing, but it's a player's partner who's making headlines this week. 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.  THE END BITS Recommendations: Holly wants you to read Hamnet, by Maggie O'Farrell.

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.

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 END BITS Hosts: Mia Freedman, Holly Wainwright and Jessie Stephens Producer: Emma Gillespie Join the Out Louders Facebook group...https://www.facebook.com/groups/329632330777506/ GET IN TOUCH Call the PodPhone on 02 8999 9386 or send a voice memo to outloud@mamamia.com.au   Mamamia Out Loud is a podcast by Mamamia.

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?  THE END BITS Recommendations: Mia is obsessed with Taylor Swift's new album, Evermore.

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?

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.

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. Plus, the evolution of Holiday Nicole - If you don’t know what or who that is, ask yourself, who has organised your festive get-together this year?  And, do we feel sorry for Prince Charles?

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.

But for some, their taxi light is always bright. Jessie tells us about the people who are always acting like they're single, even when they're in a relationship, the ones constantly wondering "Is this as good as it gets?" and "Is the grass greener somewhere else?"

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?

Meghan Markle spoke out this week about miscarriages, and the importance of asking each other if we're ok. Meghan's decision to open up about this kind of loss, and the criticism that followed, prompted Mia to share a deeply personal and raw account of life after her own miscarriage, the day after her wedding, more than two decades ago. Plus, Run the Dishwasher Twice: One woman is calling out the invisible rules we set for ourselves, to encourage us all towards a little more self-kindness.

Scott Morrison has switched up his Instagram game lately, so is he really the 'daggy dad' his social media suggests, or is it a carefully thought out strategy from his team, taking a page out of the Jacinda Ardern book? Plus, Candice Warner, Bec Judd and media witch hunts: Mia did an interview this week with a woman who’s been publicly shamed en masse on social media not once, but twice.

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.” THE END BITS Recommendations: Read the New Yorker article about The Bridge dog here.  Follow us on Instagram @MamamiaOutLoud  CREDITS Hosts: Mia Freedman, Holly Wainwright and Jessie Stephens.

If you’re watching The Crown, you may be at peak Princess Diana obsession right now. But it’s another Diana TV show that’s become the focus of a formal investigation by the BBC, 25 years after it aired. Holly explains what's happening, why it's happening now and what it all means.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.  THE END BITS Mia wants to watch The Split.

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.

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?

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.

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?

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.   And, our best and worst of the week.

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.

Australian writer and feminist Clementine Ford is being criticised for making money.

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?

Well, that’s exactly what US-based Australian journalist Jonathan Swan did in what has been declared ‘the greatest Trump interview ever.’ Jessie recaps. Also, why should anyone have kids?

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.  And Holly has a very stern message for non parents everywhere, including Jessie Stephens.

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.

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?

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.

Restrictions are being reintroduced in Victoria and we need an old-fashioned COVID-19 check in.

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.

“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”.

“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. This episode of Mamamia Out Loud is brought to you by The Virtual Knockoff.

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.  This episode of Mamamia Out Loud is brought to you by The Virtual Knockoff.

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 episode of Mamamia Out Loud is brought to you by The Virtual Knockoff.

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?
