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.

Jessie saw a headline this week that read 'I’m a Beauty Editor, and these are the products I’d never splurge on'. She immediately clicked on it and then realised she has a beauty expert on-hand - Mamamia’s resident beauty expert Leigh Campbell. She comes on Out Loud to take us through the must-have skincare and beauty products and what we can live without.

This week, Holly, Mia, and Jessie freed up 20 minutes of their day to try their newly purchased vulva masks. We discuss.  Also, let’s draw a line under the disaster that has been 2020: Could September be the new January?  Plus, Jessie thought she killed a dozen people, Holly’s celebrating her book’s success, and Mia’s youngest son pleasantly surprised her.

Actress, writer and kickass woman Magda Szubanski has been featured in a Victorian ad campaign aiming to encourage Victorians to stay strong and focused during lockdown alongside AFL star Tayla Harris, and The Project’s host Waleed Aly. But some people are describing it as “the most offensive and disgraceful ads ever seen on TV” - so why is that?  Plus, have you ever been criticised by a mate unnecessarily? There’s a term for that now, it’s called “constructive bullying,” and we are here to explain it.  And, an Instagram post about ashtrays and open beer cans has many people reminiscing about 80s’ childhoods and 80s’ parenting… and it’s giving Mia some feeling.

Holly Wainwright has written a book. Her third book. It’s called I Give My Marriage A Year, and on this very special episode of Mamamia Out Loud we take you inside the pages of it.  You’ll hear the first chapter, read by Holly. And then Mia and Jessie will ask Hol everything there is to know about the book. But don’t worry, there aren’t any spoilers.  ‘I Give My Marriage a Year’ is about a couple in a relationship that’s on edge. Lou and Josh who have been together for 14 years. They share two kids, a mortgage, careers and plenty of history. Now, after a particularly fraught Christmas, Lou is ready to ask herself: is this marriage worth hanging on to?

Should he be taking a day off?  Also, COVID-19 has thrown the lives of Year 12 students into utter chaos. Formals, dances, dinners, and graduation ceremonies have all been cancelled. Is it fair for students and their parents to be heartbroken or do they need to harden up? We discuss.  Plus, Jessie wants to know ALL the details about C-Sections.

“Hi. I’m trying to find a girlfriend. Please spread the word. Thank you.” Social media influencer Caroline Calloway is looking for a girlfriend because she’s exhausted by men. Is there something performative about advertising for a partner? We discuss.  Also, according to a magazine article published in 1958, there are 129 ways to find a husband. Husbandless Jessie and Lem try to work out where they went so wrong.  Plus, Jessie’s been attacked by Andrew Bolt, Mia’s dog has bladder issues, and Lem’s uncle wants her to get married ASAP.

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. We discuss whether there’s a bit of a double standard, and why - when it comes to money - women appear to be particularly tough on each other.   Also, did you know that one in two women don’t know how to insert tampons properly?

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. The Internet can’t stop yelling about how ugly it is, while Mia is convinced her taste is ‘impeccable’.  Plus, some positivity during the pandemic. We’re sharing the things that are making us laugh.

You're not imagining it, Australians are angry. The three Queensland women who crossed the border with COVID-19 have been met with enormous outrage. Should their pictures have even be shared?

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?

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? And where do our personal freedoms end, and our social responsibilities begin?

Do not mess with the pregnant people of Melbourne. This week, it was announced that partners would be asked to leave hospitals two hours after the birth. A debate has ensued, and to talk about it we're joined by original Outlouder, the very pregnant Monique Bowley https://www.instagram.com/moniquebowley/ And, there’s a new generational war simmering away in offices, and it’s been kicked off by non-other than Chair Of The ABC and all-round media legend, Ita Buttrose. Ita says that millennials ‘lack resilience and need hugging’. So, does she have a point? Plus, the Bachelor In Paradise sex contract we can't stop thinking about.

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. Will they be missed?

There’s a new bible for the unattached. So are you anxious, avoidant, or secure? And how can knowing these things help you find and keep love? Jessie is going to take us through it. Plus, we’ve never really seen a royal wedding like the one we saw over the weekend. Princess Beatrice married in a very small ceremony - the first royal wedding that was private in 235 years. So is this what you do when you’re a royal and your father is an alleged sex offender? And, with masks being made mandatory in Victoria, should we all be wearing them?

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. What other shows should we be rediscovering?LINKSShare The Mic: https://www.instagram.com/sharethemicnow/Mamamia Outlouders share lockdown stories: https://www.facebook.com/groups/329632330777506?should_open_composer=falseDr Susan Carland’s thread on lockdown improvements: https://twitter.com/SusanCarland/status/1280386269634162688 RECCOS Mad Men Seasons 1-7 are on Stanhttps://www.stan.com.au/ CREDITS Hosts: Holly Wainwright, Jessie Stephens, and Kee Reece Producer: Bridget Northeast and Jacob Round 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.
