Mamamia Out Loud

In case you missed it, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry had their baby and everyone is going bananas for Archie Harrison Mountbatten Windsor.  But they're also judging new mother, Meghan.  Should she have worn a white dress?  Did she look too good and is that unfair to new mothers? Why was she standing behind Harry instead of confidently striding towards the cameras?  But is it fair to judge a woman for how she behaves in a situation no woman could prepare for?  Or did she know what she was signing up for? And are you sick of wasting your time on the dating circuit?  Maybe you need to introduce a sealer date.  Mia, Jessie and Rach discuss their approach to dating and whether cutting someone off after two dates is foolish or a good idea. Plus, a recent New York Times article looks at why some women in relationships are stepping back from their careers so their partners can get richer.  The article says: "To maximize the family’s income but still keep the children alive, it’s logical for one parent to take an intensive job and the other to take a less demanding one.  It just so happens that in most couples, if there's a woman and a man, the woman takes the back seat.”  So do we need to stop putting our careers on hold for family or should it be our choice?

On Friday afternoon, an Australian white supremacist walked into a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand and opened fire on the people who were gathered for Friday prayers. He live-streamed the attack on Facebook as he shot dead 50 people and injured many others at two mosques.  It was a shocking attack and it rocked the world. One shining light out of this whole situation has been the way Jacinda Ardern has acted in the wake of the shooting. The internet has been flooded with photos of her comforting the New Zealanders and speaking to the nation about how this behaviour won't be tolerated. There's a lot of love for the NZ Prime Minister right now and we think it's totally justified. Plus, we discuss the Fraser Anning egg situation and whether it's ever ok to egg someone, even if their views are awful.

Do you eat the same thing every day for lunch? How about breakfast? And why does it matter? A recent article in the Atlantic looked at people who eat the same thing every day and as a regular chicken sandwich eater, Jessie thinks it’s a great idea.   Holly thinks it’s boring...until she realises she’s not all that adventurous herself. So does eating the same thing every day make you a bore or a decision making genius? Plus, following Mia’s recent interview with Gemma Hartley, the Outlouders discuss the complexities around emotional labour in a relationship and how it’s leaving women exhausted. So, is it really the responsibility for women to tell men to step up and do the dishes or should they do it without being asked?  And is the situation the same in same-sex couples?

If you listened to the show last week, you would’ve heard Holly and Jessie saying they were off to see controversial Canadian psychologist and best-selling author, Jordan Peterson live. Well, that happened and Holly may or may not have been converted to Jordan’s way of life. Plus, we’ve all heard of work wives, but what about work mums? A work mum is the person at work who you go to for life advice. Jessie thinks it’s problematic but Mia thinks it’s flattering. And of course, we’ve got an Oscars recap because it wouldn’t be Mamamia Out Loud without one... END BITS Hosts: Mia Freedman, Jessie Stephens and Holly Wainwright.

In case you missed it, Lady Gaga got a new tattoo this week that pays homage to A Star Is Born. It’s a rose on her back with the La Vie En Rose lyrics but it seems the tattoo and her very public friendship with Bradley Cooper is part of a $20 million Oscars campaign. And Mia Freedman is calling bullshit.   Plus, wondering why people are now practicing micro-dosing with illegal drugs? Jessie Stephens speaks to Dr. Brad McKay about why more and more professionals are choosing to take small amounts of LSD at work. And remember the ISIS Brides? Holly wants to know whether or not they should be allowed to come home. All this and more on the latest episode of Mamamia Out Loud.

Are you a woman? Apparently, it's your fault Meghan Markle is being hounded by the media. That’s according to The Times columnist Carol Midgley, but Mia Freedman strongly disagrees. So is our desire for gossip and pictures deadly, or just a bit of fun? Karl Lagerfeld, the Creative Director of Chanel, died at the age of 85 earlier this week. And while everyone is talking about his contribution to fashion, Jessie thinks there’s something else that he got right - and it's about relationships. And why do scammers find it so easy to manipulate women? The answer is really bloody sad. END BITS Hosts: Mia Freedman, Jessie Stephens and Holly Wainwright.

Have you heard? We've got a new podcast here at Mamamia.  It's a daily show called The Quicky. And we want to introduce it to you... The Quicky is the easiest and most enjoyable way to get across the news every day. And it’s delivered straight to your ears in a daily podcast so you can listen whenever you want, wherever you are...at the gym, on the train, in the playground or at night while you're making dinner. In this episode of The Quicky, we unravel the story of missing Dubai Princess, Latifa bint Mohammed al-Maktoum. In March 2018 Princess Latifa, the 33 year old daughter of Dubai’s ruler Sheikh Mohammed, attempted to escape her oppressive life after years of torture, imprisonment, and lack of basic human rights. Unfortunately Latifah’s escape didn’t go to plan and she was recaptured on a yacht off the coast of India. She hasn’t been seen publicly since. We speak with the CEO of Detained In Dubai, Radha Stirling, who helped Latifa with her escape attempt and is continuing to raise awareness about the case. As you will hear, Latifa’s life is far from a fairytale and life behind the palace walls is anything but safe.

Did you wear make up to school? A girl’s school in Victoria has made headlines after students were made to remove eyelash extensions before their school photos. And a question we couldn’t help but ask this week: Why on earth are we still weighing people on television?

Bradley Cooper admitted to Oprah this week that he was embarrassed that he hadn’t been nominated for Best Director by the Oscars. Which got us thinking, when it comes to things like failure, is embarrassment the feeling we are most afraid of? Last week, recently elected 29-year-old US politician Alexandria Ocarsio-Cortez posted a five-page Instagram story on her skin routine. An 'old school' female politician would NEVER have done this for fear of being seen as shallow and too 'female'. So have we turned a corner in time? And Mia has realised that everyone has news blindness. Her’s is sport - so what’s yours?

Have you heard of the relaunch? It’s what all the young people are doing on social media after they've come out of a break-up and Jessie is here to explain it to us. Yesterday, the NRL banned Ben Barba for life after CCTV footage of an altercation with his wife was viewed by its Integrity Unit. So does this mean there’s finally a shift in how violent footballers are handled, and is it really cause for celebration? And there’s a new kind of job interview that you might get asked to sit through. And it involves making people cry. END BITS Read Holly Wainwright's article about Ben Barba here.

Married At First Sight is back this week, and on Thursday night it got Jessie thinking (you can read her specific thoughts here) about whether there was a right or a wrong way to have a conversation with a partner. Because it seems that in every relationship, there’s a person who wants to moan and a person who wants to offer solutions. So should a conversation have a goal? Plus, Mia feels silly because she missed one of the biggest news stories in Australia right now. So Holly and Jessie are here to explain what is going on with the Darling River and the millions of dead fish floating in it.  And the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, one of the most generous employers in America, has just announced that it is cutting paid parental leave from a year to six months, so is a year with a baby really not what a mother needs?

Is it ever okay for someone to confiscate your phone when you’re a grown-up? It happened to Holly last week and she paid for the privilege. Now, she’s a bit confused.

Is it ever okay to tell a fellow sister that her pubes are sticking out of her swimmers when you don’t know her? It’s a doozy of a group therapy this week Outlouders, and Holly, Jessie and Mia aren’t sure how to respond. The Australian Open Tennis Championship ends on Sunday, and, as always, we’ve all been caring about a sport we don’t generally give a toss about for a few hot weeks. But from where we sit, it seems this year it’s been much less about the tennis, and far more about the bitching, in-fighting and feuding. It’s like a tabloid magazine come to life. So is tennis our new reality TV? And how much do we deserve to know about the final moments of a woman’s life? As the country mourns the murder of 21-year-old Aya Maasarwe do we really need to know how she was killed? END BITS Hosts: Mia Freedman, Jessie Stephens and Holly Wainwright.

Heard Mia banging on about The Bold Type and need to talk about it more? Well, good news because today we are sharing with you an episode all about it.  Scarlet Magazine isn't real. But according to former Cosmopolitan Editor Mia Freedman, it's as close to real as a television drama can get. If you're not too sure what we're talking about, you obviously haven't watched The Bold Type. But we're here to tell you that you need to.  The Bold Type on Stan was inspired by the life of a former Cosmopolitan Editor-In-Chief Joanna Coles, and it follows three 20-something women, Sutton, Jane and Kat, who work at Scarlet magazine, a glossy title that’s moving away from centering on beauty and fashion, and championing a new focus on feminism and politics (and a whole lotta racy sexy tips.)  It touches on work wives, relationship dramas, career progression, sexuality, the #metoo movement and white privilege. It's captured the hearts of LOTS of Australian women. But does it live up to all of the hype? Should it be compared to Sex And The City? And was it really like working at Cosmo? Rachel Corbett, Mia Freedman and Amy Clark discuss...

Happy Friday Outlouders! Have you been seeing a lot of inspirational work quotes on Instagram? Have people been telling you they’re just soooooo busy? Well, turns out there’s a word for that. It’s hustle porn and Mia is going to tell us why it might be bad for us. Plus pill testing. What is it? And where do you stand? And the 10-year challenge is the latest meme to hit Facebook and Instagram.  More than 2.4million people have uploaded a photo of themselves now and from 2009 but what's it really about? There’s a conspiracy theory saying it was created by Facebook to get data on how people age. Holly thinks we might be overthinking it but Mia is convinced we've all been had.

And chances are it will redefine your female friendships. Plus, feeling overwhelmed about what to eat in 2019? So is Holly. She wants to eat healthily, but it isn’t that simple these days. Pete Evans doesn't have breakfast until 2 pm most days, and then he just eats whatever he wants. Fitness queen Ashy Bines is Keto now - which is like being on a diet that the Paleo people think is too hard - so her breakfast might include bread that's made of cream cheese and a few wicked slices of turkey. And then there's celery juice? Can't keep up? Nor can we, so here's what we've all decided to do. And ASMR. It stands for “Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response.” But what is it?

Twenty years ago, Sex & The City burst onto our screens and changed the way women saw themselves. Here at Mamamia Out Loud we’ve been talking a lot about the podcast that has brought Sex & The City back into our lives, Origins, which is why we thought we’d do an entire episode devoted to the series that shaped the way we thought about the world. Holly, Mia and Jessie look back at the show that was so iconic - and the movies (that weren’t as iconic) and ponder a lot of questions... Like how did it help shape the world? Was it a little problematic? Should there have been more diversity? Was Carrie really as painful as everyone makes out? And, if it came back, would it still be relevant?
