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.

Yesterday our jaws collectively dropped as the Prime Minister was confronted after an address at The National Press Club. Was it an important moment in an election year?

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.

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.  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? 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.

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?
