Mamamia Out Loud

‘OK Boomer’ is the new viral phrase we’re beginning to hear everywhere. But, what does it actually mean? And why does it feel so… ageist?  Also, sexting and sharing nudes seems to be a byproduct of living on the internet. Just last month, ex-congresswoman Katie Hill had to resign from office in what seems to be a case of revenge porn. Will nudes ever become the norm? And should they ever cost you your job? Plus, how do we feel about men fiddling with their faces? The Bachelorette winner Carlin Sterritt admitted to having his lips done, and Ciarran Stott laughed about having a nose job. Is masculinity beginning to change?

This week, NSW has been in a State of Emergency. Fires have spread throughout the state and into Queensland, with more than 200 homes destroyed, and three people dead. It’s predicted that up to 350 koalas have been killed, and in Tuesday’s fires, 21 people injured. Meanwhile, politicians are arguing over whether or not climate change is to blame. Is now the time to be angry? And who should we be angry at? Plus, for the first time, ABC has removed an episode of Q&A after a panel of “outspoken feminists” were accused of inciting violence.

In case you missed it, a rapper named T.I. desperately wants to talk about his daughter’s vagina. Or more specifically, her hymen. On an American podcast titled  “Ladies Like Us” the rapper, actor, and TV personality said that he accompanies his 18-year-old daughter Deyjah Harris to a gynaecological exam each year, in order to have her hymen (and therefore, her virginity) checked. Where do we even start? Plus, Karl Stefanovic is reportedly in discussions with Nine about taking back his old seat on the Today show next year, even if it means copping a hefty salary cut. Mia puts her industry hat on and explores whether Karl can really save the day.  And, actress and activist Emma Watson is in the headlines for rejecting the word ‘single’ and instead going with ‘self-partnered’. But, does the status of ‘single’ really need a makeover?  RECCOS Holly- Morning Wars TV series on Apple + Jessie- The Lighthouse podcast and the latest episode of Mamamia podcast True Crime Conversations  Mia- Lobby Baby by Seth Myers on Netflix MMOL TOUR DATES Sydney Live Show - Giant Dwarf Theatre Saturday 16th November  A Night With Mia Freedman tickets available now at https://www.mamamia.com.au/events/  Subscribe to Mamamia Out Loud here: https://omny.fm/shows/mamamia-out-loud/playlists/podcast  END BITS Hosts: Mia Freedman Holly Wainwright and Jessie Stephens Producer: Lem Zakharia COME TALK TO US Join the Out Louders Facebook group GET IN TOUCH Call the PodPhone on 02 8999 9386.

Prime Minister Jacinda Arden has set a precedent yet again. In a recent video that went viral, Jacinda spent two minutes listing the policies her government has implemented in the past two years - and it’s… overwhelming. Jessie, Mia, and Holly reflect on how much they’ve accomplished in the last two years, and it looks very different.  Plus, Kiwi singer Lorde has just lost her beloved rescue dog, Pearl, and says she’s too grief-stricken to work. We can’t help but ask, is stoicism dead? And is there something to be said for just ‘getting on with things’? And, 55-year-old Keanu Reeves is back in the headlines, all because of his new girlfriend. Why are we applauding a man for having a girlfriend roughly the same age as him? And what’s so bad about age gaps in relationships anyway?

In a filmed interview at the Obama Foundation Summit, Barack Obama challenged “call-out culture” telling the audience that criticising something on Twitter isn’t activism. But is calling stuff out sometimes necessary in order to stimulate change? Plus, the NSW government plans to make maths compulsory for years 11 and 12. Is maths really something all of us need to do? And is there a gap in our learning that maths might perfectly fill? And a viral post on Instagram suggested some new rules for visiting a newborn.

One of Australia’s most infamous serial killers, Ivan Milat, died early Sunday morning in his cell at Long Bay Jail. Then, over the weekend, ISIS leader Abū Bakr al-Baghdadi was killed during a US military operation. There has been a lot of celebration over the last few days about the death of these two men. But is there something a little gross about celebrating when someone dies? Plus, we’re constantly being told to be mindful and zen. Stress and chaos are very out of fashion. But Taffy Brodesser-Akner argues in a recent column that stress is what helps her get things done, and maybe a ‘calm’ and ‘peaceful’ life is overrated. Does she have a point? Also, if you’re in shock that it’s nearly Christmas again, there’s a reason for that. This has been the decade where time was turned on its head, and here’s what that means for the average person.

Well-known cartoonist Michael Leunig’s most recent work shows a young mum glued to her screen as her newborn is cast away on the ground behind her. He’s copped a lot of criticism, but does Leunig have a point when it comes to our relationship with our phones?  Plus, boys from a private school were filmed yelling a misogynistic chant on a Melbourne tram this week. What does this tell us about young men? And would the same thing have happened if these boys went to a co-ed school?  And a reality TV star has taken a network to court over her ‘psychological wound’, and won. So, who is liable for the so-called “villain edit”?

So, it’s been a very big week in royal world. Even Jessie is interested. So why did the Duke and Duchess of Sussex choose now to give quite such an honest interview on their African tour? Why are some commentators so upset about it? And what would a post-royal life look like for Harry and Meghan? Are they the next Obamas?  Also, last weekend, a plane full of journalists flew for 20 hours straight from Sydney to New York to see what it does to you.

At 6:30 am on October 10th, a jogger was filmed relieving herself outside Roxy Jacenko’s office. Shortly after, Jacenko posted a video that went absolutely viral. So, Mia asks whether this behavior can ever be excused and if yes, under what circumstances?  Also, Kyle and his KIIS FM co-host Jackie O, have reportedly signed one of the biggest media deals in Australian history, earning approximately $7-8 million per year.  Holly wants to know is anyone who isn’t saving the world worth $40,000 a day?

Last week there was a man on The Bachelorette who may have been a new-low in reality TV villains. Yes, we’re talking about Jess Glasgow and the men who stood up to his misogynistic behaviour towards our heroine Angie Kent. This week Mamamia writer and host of the You Beauty podcast Amy Clark wrote a piece titled ‘A stranger sent me an Instagram message about my weight. They were "concerned for my health".’ Amy joins Holly, Mia, and Jessie to talk through the experience, and why people seem to feel like it’s okay to body-shame someone if you say it comes from a place of “concern” for your well-being. You can read Amy’s piece on Mamamia here https://www.mamamia.com.au/i-was-fat-shamed/  Also, does cuddling ruin your sex life.

Is it okay to take food from the hotel buffet for breakfast, lunch AND dinner? Asking for a friend. Or actually, a listener whose husband thinks she’s a thief.  Also. Is Cancel Culture real? Mia read a piece from The New Republic titled The Cancel Culture Con about celebrities coming back from “cancellation” which really riled her up. Because the likes of Taylor Swift, Anziz Ansari and Louis C.K might be back on our screens - or in our ears - but are they really unscathed?  Plus, do you love being seen to use your Keep Cup even more than you love using your Keep Cup for the planet? As an avid reusable straw lover, Jessie discusses whether or not her efforts to live a more earth-friendly life are a form of virtue signalling.

Ellen Degeneres has been called out for sitting next to George W Bush at an NFL game. Because, surely, she doesn’t agree with him on all the things? A Perth NightClub owner is infuriating the nation with his assertion that a  young woman in his establishment couldn’t possibly have had her drink spiked because… she wasn’t attractive enough. Since we recorded this episode Scott has publicly apologised for his awful words but it begs the question; what did he think it would take for someone to be “worth” sexual assaulting?! Plus it’s been a week since White Ribbon Australia announced the organisation was going into liquidation. Some women around the country aren’t exactly sad about this. So what does it mean, and how should we feel about it?

What’s the social etiquette when it comes to “liking” a post on social media. Is it okay to bring up a post in real life if you don't interact with it digitally?  And the enormous loss of Aiia Maasarwi was felt all around the nation. This week, the details of her murder were released after a judge removed the suppression order preventing their distribution. That has raised the question, what purpose do the details serve? And what responsibility do we have to know them? Plus, is it problematic to tell a woman she has a “big personality”? One listener was described as such in a job interview and she has no idea how to feel about it.  If any of the discussions from this episode have raised any concerns for you in particular the discussion of the case of Aiia Maasarwi please reach out to 1800 RESPECT or call Lifeline on 13 11 14 RECOMMENDATIONS Claire: Fair Play by Eve Rodksy https://bit.ly/2LNXRXU and Beneath The Surface by Libby Trickett https://bit.ly/2AIw98c  Jessie: Bondi Sands Wash Off Instant Tan https://www.bondisands.com.au/wash-off-light  Holly: Free Solo documentary about rock climber Alex Honnold https://apple.co/2Ot3TP5  This episode of Mamamia Out Loud is brought to you by Shebah MMOL TOUR DATES Orange - Orange Civic Theatre Wednesday 16th October Geelong - GPAC Wednesday 30th October Sydney - Seymour Centre Friday 1st November A Night With Mia Freedman tickets available now at https://www.mamamia.com.au/events/  Subscribe to Mamamia Out Loud here: https://omny.fm/shows/mamamia-out-loud/playlists/podcast  END BITS Hosts: Claire Murphy, Holly Wainwright and Jessie Stephens Producer: Elise Cooper COME TALK TO US Join the Out Louders Facebook group GET IN TOUCH Call the PodPhone on 02 8999 9386.

The Masked Singer is everyone’s latest television obsession. People are utterly captivated by how bananas it is. But in the Golden Age of television, with scripted dramas and documentaries, should we apologise for indulging in a bit of ‘trash’?  And is being bad at your job the worst possible thing you can be? We’re all, to some extent, stuck in the capitalist rat race, but what if you have no ambition to be ‘the best’? In a hustle culture obsessed with ambition, can we ever just be mediocre? Plus, crystals are on bedside tables, in drink bottles and bras, and even in jade face rollers. It would seem, however, that there’s a dark side to the crystal industry, and very few people know about it.  TOUR DATES Orange - Orange Civic Theatre Wednesday 16th October Geelong - GPAC Wednesday 30th October Sydney - Seymour Centre Friday 1st November Subscribe to Mamamia Out Loud here: https://omny.fm/shows/mamamia-out-loud/playlists/podcast  END BITS Hosts: Claire Murphy, Jessie Stephens and Holly Wainwright Producer: Elise Cooper COME TALK TO US Join the Out Louders Facebook group GET IN TOUCH Call the PodPhone on 02 8999 9386.

This week a piece of legislation was passed in ACT parliament that legalised marijuana in the territory. Should we be celebrating? Or could this be a slippery slope? Plus, 16-year-old climate activist and all around human mood board Greta Thunberg spoke at the UN climate summit this week. She stared down some of the most powerful leaders in the world - demanding immediate action on the climate crisis. As is the way with these things Greta has now become the subject of personal attacks from everyday citizens right up to the literal President of the United States. Should we be worried about Greta? Watch the funny skit Mia talks about from the ABC here; ABC 7:30 Greta Thunberg Helpline https://bit.ly/2n2mzt8.

Last week, Constance Hall gave a powerful TEDxTalk about her experience with bullying both online and in the real world. Mia originally discouraged Constance from speaking publicly about being bullied for fear it would ‘feed the trolls’. But she now realises she was wrong, and in fact, there’s a lot to be gained by shining a light on these experiences.   Mark Ronson has spoken out about his sexuality, announcing his preference of ‘sapiosexuality,’ which involves being attracted to a person’s intellect above their gender and appearance. So, is this just another way of saying “it’s what’s inside that counts?” Plus, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is the latest public figure to have photos from his past emerge; this time with the PM wearing black face for a dress up party. Holly asks why we’re quick to forgive some people for their socially unacceptable behaviour, while withholding that luxury from others.

Look, there's a lot to unpack today. The episode is late to your ears because we've been observing #climatestrike, we won some sparkly awards last night and it's also Producer Lize's last show. But first... The Bachelor's finished and the "good girl" won. But what does our reaction to Abbie say about how we view women who aren't afraid to express their sexuality?  Anti-violence advocates are not the only ones upset about the fact that another inquiry into the Family Court has been announced, when what they've been asking for is urgent change, not more navel-gazing. To add insult to that injury, Pauline Hanson is leading that inquiry, even though her position on the Court is far from impartial. And, Holly, Mia and Rach discuss everything we love about the most-complained about ad on Australian television.  RECOMMENDATIONSRachel:  The Hills is on FoxtelMia: She Said by Jodi Kantor and Meghan TwoheyHolly: Fleishman Is In Trouble by Taffy Brodesser-AknerMMOL TOUR DATES Cairns - Tanks Arts Centre Wednesday 25th September Orange - Orange Civic Theatre Wednesday 16th October Geelong - GPAC Wednesday 30th October Sydney - Seymour Centre Friday 1st November Subscribe to Mamamia Out Loud here: https://omny.fm/shows/mamamia-out-loud/playlists/podcast  END BITS Hosts: Mia Freedman, Rachel Corbett and Holly Wainwright Producers:  Elissa Ratliff COME TALK TO US Join the Out Louders Facebook group GET IN TOUCH Call the PodPhone on 02 8999 9386.

Is flirting really allowed in 2019? We ask this question because one of our listeners wrote in with a group therapy about her friend's husband being a tremendous flirt. Which got us thinking: is flirting just plain problematic these days? Plus, abortion remains technically illegal in NSW. On Saturday, thousands of women marched in Sydney’s Hyde Park to get it removed from the criminal code - Mia and her family were among them. But on Sunday there was an anti-choice rally. And in attendance? Barnaby Joyce and Tony Abbott. So why do these fathers of daughters not trust women? And Mia is here to explain the Caroline Calloway story that everyone is talking about.  TOUR DATES Cairns - Tanks Arts Centre Wednesday 25th September Orange - Orange Civic Theatre Wednesday 16th October Geelong - GPAC Wednesday 30th October Sydney - Seymour Centre Friday 1st November Subscribe to Mamamia Out Loud here: https://omny.fm/shows/mamamia-out-loud/playlists/podcast  END BITS Hosts: Mia Freedman, Claire Murphy and Holly Wainwright Producers:  Elissa Ratliff COME TALK TO US Join the Out Louders Facebook group GET IN TOUCH Call the PodPhone on 02 8999 9386.

Constance Hall flagged something on her Instagram about bucks' parties that got us thinking. She claims that more often than not, they're used as an opportunity for cheating to happen in relationships, and what happens there is protected by the ‘bro code'. But what about the sister code?  Plus Taylor Swift is performing at the Melbourne cup this year, but is it problematic to go and watch her if you don’t actually support horse-racing? We’ve got a group therapy that is very of the moment.  And, Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton has referred to the children in a Tamil asylum-seeker family facing deportation as "anchor babies" so what does this mean?

Holly read an article about something called the No-Fap Movement over the weekend. So she decided to put her Sherlock Holmes hat on and investigate why women are joining this predominantly-male group and explain what fapping actually is. (Hint, it’s not suitable for work).

Can you learn how to be charismatic? Jessie thinks you can in three easy steps but Holly and Mia don’t think it’s that simple. Plus if you’re confused as to why UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has fired 21 people and is calling for an election before the end of October, Holly is making a comeback with our favourite analogy, the Brexit sh*t skirt. Even though this time it's actually pants. And, Brad Pitt and Renee Zellwegger have both had relaunches this week thanks to interviews with fancy magazines.

There's a lot of stuff going on this week for women... Leigh Sales was hosting a black-tie dinner when the man introducing her tried to kiss her on the lips. Influencer Nadia Bartel's marriage broke down because her husband allegedly cheated on her but somehow she got the blame for it. And the University in Sydney decided to lower it's entrance marks for women so there can be more females in engineering. It seemed like the perfect time to do an episode about sexism because there's a lot of sexist stuff happening right now. We hope you enjoy.

It's Friday and Mia wants to talk about Taylor Swift's new album Lover. But this time Jessie's going to let her because it's not just an excuse for Mia to sing.  There are some big questions that need answering, like whether we should like Taylor because she's 'safe' for kids as opposed to someone like Miley Cyrus.  Plus, does your relationship have a third leg? Well, it needs one if you want to remain stable and strong. Jessie explains why.  And when you're stressed do you tend to internalise it? Even stew on it? Well, chances are you have quiet stress. And that friends, is bad.

The G7 Summit was held in France this week, where world leaders from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK and the United States met to discuss everything from climate change to gender equality. But perhaps the biggest thing to come out of the G7 is the fact that the world is now shipping Melania Trump and Justin Trudeau!  But why? Plus, the Amazon rainforest is burning, kids are skipping school to protest climate change and climate anxiety is very real. But shouldn’t we be focused on things people are doing to fix the problem instead of dwelling on the bad?  And if you eat lunch at your desk every day, we’ve got bad news for you.

We're jumping into your ears today to talk about the NSW Abortion Bill.  The debate has been hijacked over the past two weeks so here at Mamamia Out Loud, we wanted to share the pro-choice side, and why it's so important that if you believe in abortion being decriminalised, you rally around your local MPs.  To share use the hashtags: #ProChoiceNSW #VoteForProChoiceNSW #GetItDoneBecome a Mamamia subscriber: https://www.mamamia.com.au/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s been a big week for the Royal family. Elton John is defending Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for having a holiday and flying in a private jet. Meanwhile, Prince Andrew is releasing statements about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And Holly has a theory about how it’s all related. Meanwhile, if the word brainstorm makes you cringe, we’ve got a solution that will help you get through it. And at 9:30 am on Wednesday morning, Cardinal George Pell’s appeal against his child sexual abuse conviction was dismissed. The Court of Appeal sitting in Victoria rejected the centerpiece of Pell’s appeal in a 2-1 decision. So what does this mean?

Do mental illnesses come in and out of "fashion"? It's an interesting idea, and one that was the subject of a fascinating article on Mamamia written by Amy Clark. She suggested that as awareness of anxiety has risen, depression has become less and less understood. You can read Amy's piece, here: https://www.mamamia.com.au/anxiety-and-depression/  Plus, Alan Jones has made some vividly aggressive comments about New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. So why, in 2019, is this still happening? And, Gwyneth Paltrow has been engaged three times. Married twice. And it seems that with every partner that she’s had, she has upgraded them just at the right time. So are relationship upgrades a thing? And have you done it?

The man you would have heard described as “disgraced US business man”, but actually a billionaire accused of sex-trafficking, Jeffrey Epstein, took his own life while awaiting trial on the weekend.  Some of the most high-profile men in the world - Epstein’s powerful friends - are implicated in his case, and as a result, his death has been met with a cloud of conspiracy theories. Are they ridiculous, or completely valid? Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth’s very public break up has everyone talking but it’s Miley’s “relaunch” that’s really giving us break-up FOMO. And schools across the country are being encouraged to make competitive sporting events like running and jumping voluntary because of the mental anguish and humiliation it can cause students. Is this really the case, or is it just another instance where children are being shielded from failure?

Queen of Hollywood clap-backs Chrissy Teigen is among the voices encouraging Americans not to go to a particular gym because of… Trump. But does even exercising have to be a political act now?  Genetically-blessed human Emily Ratatjowski has dared to bare her underarms, hair and all, on the upcoming cover of Harper’s Bazaar magazine. Ratatjowski actually penned an essay for the magazine but the internet can’t stop talking about whether or not her armpit hair is real. Yes, seriously.

Jessie has a handy explainer on how to respond to people in your life who aren’t on board with the whole pro-choice thing.  And a new study has found that almost one quarter of millennials don’t have any friends.

Catherine Middleton has made headlines recently after Kensington Palace issued a statement categorically denying that the Duchess of Cambridge had cosmetic work done; specifically ‘baby botox’. So, what is ‘baby botox’? And does everyone secretly have it? And author John Marsden has caused a bit of a stir after remarking that bullying is really just a form of feedback. The author and educator is promoting his new book The Art Of Growing Up and reckons that if kids just became a little more ‘likeable’ maybe bullying wouldn’t be such a problem. Does he have a point? Plus, Holly was stopped in her tracks this week by Brigid Schulte’s piece in The Guardian, which was all about why women need more free time.

Australian swimmers are in hot water over Mack Horton’s selective protests over cheating in the sport. When Chinese swimmer Sun Yang beat Horton at the World Championship recently, he refused to stand on the podium with him because he’d been accused of being a drug cheat.  But when Australian swimmer Shayna Jack was suspected of testing positive to illicit substances, Horton was silent. So are we happy to give our own athletes a free pass while judging other countries? And Meghan Markle was guest Editor on the September issue of British Vogue and predictably people have opinions.

James Weir wrote this week about the rise of lip fillers in teen girls, causing us to ask: Is it a good thing, a bad thing, and how much is social media to blame? And this week, two famous women came out publicly and declared they wouldn't be having children. And a lot of people were uncomfortable with it. Plus Jessie found herself at a dinner party where one of her male friends said he felt he would be able to ace tennis legend Serena Williams in a match...

World number one and all-round Tennis champion Ash Barty was knocked out of the Wimbledon Tennis competition this week after a three-set loss to American Alison Riske. And it made Jessie realise something ...that since Ash’s success at the French Open, Australia has kind of been hovering around Ash like a helicopter parent. So are we embarrassing her?  Plus, we always talk about red flags going into relationships and friendships and even workplaces, but what about the green flags that make people good?  And have you heard of the attention economy? Well if not, don’t worry because Mia is here to explain and she’s using the American Soccer team as the perfect example.  With Holly away, we’ve got the fabulous Rachel Corbett stepping in to drive the bus… You can buy to see us live at mamamia.com.au/events and it's all thanks to our partners, Toyota Kluger….

Pity Delta Goodrem - who was Born To Try - in a world where trying isn't cool. At all.  Tom Gleeson said that his Gold Logie win was a bit of a joke, and talked down everyone who 'tried' to win it. But, hold on, wasn't he was on every TV show and magazine drumming up support? Sounds like trying to us.  Plus, Taylor Swift says her 'biggest bully' now owns the rights to all her music. How the hell did that happen, and why is she now being slammed for complaining about it?  And champion-'tryer' Ivanka Trump accompanied her father Donald to the G20 summit last week. And everyone is laughing at her. But is that cruel? Or is laughing at the Trumps the only way to stay sane?

From changing engagement rings to Jessie recommending breakfast... this episode of Mamamia Out Loud has it all….. BUY TICKETS TO OUR LIVE SHOWS HERE. Are the Logies a joke? That’s the question on everyone's mind as we lead into the 61st TV Week Logie Awards this Sunday. Gold Logie hopeful Tom Gleeson has pitted every nominee against each other, and not everyone's happy about it. Do we owe the Logies a little bit of respect? Or is it completely redundant? Plus, is it ever okay to change your engagement ring, a year after you’ve received it? That’s what Meghan Markle has done, and Holly has some very strong feelings about it. And Elizabeth Gilbert says everyone has two hours in their day when they're at their best. When is your window? And what do you do with it?

Jessie has a new show! It's called True Crime Conversations and each episode sees her interviewing experts about crimes that captivated, horrified and perplexed people from rural Australia to the world stage. This is the first episode about the case of Belgian Backpacker Davine Arckens. When 24-year-old Belgian backpacker Davine Arckens reached out to a man on Gumtree about working on his farm she was excited.  The 88 days of labour would mean she could stay in Australia on a tourist visa for an extra year. She couldn’t wait to spend more time in a country she thought was safe and full of nice people. When Davine met the man it didn’t take long for her to realise she’d made a terrible mistake. Driven to what felt like the middle of nowhere, Davine was convinced she was hours from the nearest town.  What followed was two harrowing days where she was held against her will and an escape that made national headlines. Walkley award winning journalist Richard Guilliatt reported on the story and he joins Jessie Stephens to walk us through it. Join our Facebook group True Crime Conversations here.

We debate, discuss and dissect everything from the sex lives of millennials to whether or not you should confront someone who told you they were having a birthday dinner but then never sent you an invite.  HOW RUDE! Rihanna has come out as a #ShyGirl in a recent interview, which has us wondering whether there’s a difference between shyness and introversion.  And whether one of them is just a cover for laziness. Plus, it’s all over the news that millennials are NOT having less sex and that maybe we’ve been fooled by bad data.  So why are Gen Y fooling around less often? Holly has some passionate words for those who aren’t regularly getting busy between the sheets. And in group therapy we help out a listener who doesn’t know what to do about her close friend not inviting her to her birthday dinner.

From Taylor Swift's new music video to why we need to protect backpackers more in Australia, the latest episode of Mamamia Out Loud is live... Taylor Swift's new music video for You Need To Calm Down has split people into two camps: It’s either an empowering LGBTQIA+ anthem or it’s a tone-deaf, attempt to co-opt a marginalised group’s stories. Please explain. Plus, Jessie’s been working on a new true crime podcast and the first episode is all about an horrific attack on a young Belgian backpacker. Do we need to do more to protect young travellers to Australia? (You can subscribe to her new show here). And in a column in the Weekend Australian, Nikki Gemmell asked the strangest question: Why do male gynaecologists do their jobs?

On today's show, we tackle everything from Gwyneth Paltrow's living arrangements to the Adani coal mine. And yes, the fact that Keanu Reeves is apparently good in bed. The ideal husband, according to Gwyneth Paltrow, is one who lives somewhere else. At least part of the time. In an interview with The Sunday Times over the weekend, Gwyneth Paltrow said she and her husband of less than a year, Brad Falchuk, live in separate homes in Los Angeles for 3 nights of the week. And a lot of you think it’s a good idea. But is it a rich person’s problem or a solution to keeping your relationship fresh? Plus, a year ago Eurydice Dixon was murdered. But has anything changed since then? Jessie did some research, and you might find yourself surprised. And we answer a group therapy about a baby and a dog that will give you all the feels.
