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.

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.

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?

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.  Subscribe to MPlus for unlimited access to Mamamia Out Loud The End Bits Follow us on Instagram @mamamiaoutloud CREDITS Hosts: Jessie Stephens, Mia Freedman and Holly Wainwright Producer: Emma Gillespie Audio Producer: Rhiannon Mooney CONTACT US Via our PodPhone on 02 8999 9386 Via our email at [email protected]  Via our Outlouders Facebook page- https://www.facebook.com/groups/329632330777506/ Mamamia acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the Land we have recorded this podcast on, the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation.

One of the world’s most famous young women has spoken about how watching porn from a young age affected her.
