Mamamia Out Loud

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.  THE END BITS Recommendations: Jessie is about 100 years late to the party and wants you to watch The Office...(the U.S one) You can find that TikTok pasta recipe here.  Follow us on Instagram @MamamiaOutLoud CREDITSHosts: Mia Freedman, Jessie Stephens and Claire Murphy Producer: Emma Gillespie CONTACT US Via our PodPhone on 02 8999 9386Via our email at [email protected]  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/  Become a Mamamia subscriber: https://www.mamamia.com.au/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.  THE END BITS Mia thinks you should listen to Hugh Grant on The Envelope podcast  Follow us on Instagram @MamamiaOutLoud CREDITSHosts: Holly Wainwright, Mia Freedman and Jessie Stephens  Producer: Emma Gillespie CONTACT US Via our PodPhone on 02 8999 9386Via our email at [email protected]  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/  Become a Mamamia subscriber: https://www.mamamia.com.au/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.  THE END BITS Recommendations: Mia thinks you should listen to more Harry Styles.

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.  THE END BITS Recommendations: Jessie wants you to listen to a  Conversations episode about the science of ageing.

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? THE END BITS Recommendations: Jessie wants you to watch It's A Sin, now streaming on Stan.

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.  THE END BITS Recommendations: Jessie wants you to read Honeybee, by Craig Silvey.

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?  THE END BITS Recommendations: Holly wants you to watch It's A Sin on Stan.

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. Have you got one? Are you one? THE END BITS Recommendations: Mia is addicted to Ravensburger puzzles. Follow us on Instagram @MamamiaOutLoud  You can check out remote-worker-Susan here.

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.

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.

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.

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? Apparently, Gen Z never does and some people say that’s the reason anxiety/mental health issues are so high in younger people.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.  CREDITS Hosts: Mia Freedman, Holly Wainwright and Jessie Stephens  Producer: Emma Gillespie and Elissa Ratliff 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 Out Loud is a podcast by Mamamia https://www.mamamia.com.au/author/mamamiaoutloud/    Become a Mamamia subscriber: https://www.mamamia.com.au/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. Holly and Jessie have a few Instagram accounts they think you'll enjoy; @JennPitt, @Ifyouhigh and @HiCaitlinReilly.

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.' THE END BITS Jessie wants you to watch Reputation Rehab on ABC iView.  While you're there, Holly wants you to check out Planet America. Mia thinks you should listen to her episode of No Filter with Zoe Foster Blake.

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. THE END BITS Jessie wants you to watch The Rise of The Murdoch Dynasty on ABC iView.
