Mamamia Out Loud

A Victorian woman's heartbreaking plea to politicians in response to a ban on IVF has gone viral. What does it tell us about our collective frustration, and is there ever really such a thing as 'elective' surgery? We need to talk about one of the characters in And Just Like That to whom some feel a grave injustice has been done. And, there are some things we’d like to apologise for already even though we’re only halfway through January.The End Bits Subscribe to MPlus for unlimited access to Mamamia Out Loud Recommendations: Emma wants you to watch The Rescue on Disney+Follow us on Instagram @mamamiaoutloud CREDITS Hosts: Mia Freedman, Emma Gillespie and Claire Murphy Producer: Emma Gillespie Audio Producer: Leah Porges 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.

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. 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?

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? And why should this be less of a story about dick pics, and more of a discussion about unsolicited, non-consensual encounters? Plus, imagine stuffing up so badly at work, that one of the most famous people in the world gets you suspended from your job.  And, is it possible to be a mental health advocate and support cancel culture?

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.

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?

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.

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?

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? The End Bits: Recommendations: Jessie wants you to read The Paper Palace by Miranda C.

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.For more Out Loud Daily Drop episodes become an MPlus subscriber!

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.  The End Bits: Recommendations: Jessie wants you to watch I May Destroy You on Binge.
