Mamamia Out Loud

What do fish sex, a botox explainer, climate change and defining yourself as a mother have in common? They were some of our most popular segments on Mamamia Out Loud in 2018, so we thought we’d revisit them and see what you, our listeners, had to say about them.

A lot has happened in the last 12 months.  We had a goddamn Olympics and no one even a little bit remembers it. Kids from Parkland, Florida, became galvanising leaders after yet another preventable school shooting. We had not one but TWO royal weddings, and staunch republicans threw on a tiara and critiqued the very problematic British monarchy as they shed a tear at the astounding romance of the whole thing. Here’s a recap of everything you forgot happened in 2018...

Women are going to extreme lengths to have an orgasm... The O-shot is a procedure which “takes blood from the patient’s arm, spins it in a centrifuge to “activate” it and produce “high quality” Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)."  This is then injected into the area below the urethra and into the vaginal wall to help you achieve orgasm.  And it will set you back $1700. But is not having an orgasm really something to be embarrassed about or should we all stop putting so much pressure on ourselves? Plus its holiday season but there’s plenty of workaholics refusing to pull themselves away from the office. If that's you, we'll tell you why you need to pack your bags and put your feet up.  And in these times of female empowerment and equal opportunity why are we still not ok with women proposing to men? All this and more with Rachel Corbett, Leigh Campbell and Jessie Stephens on the latest episode of Mamamia Out Loud... Recommendations  Leigh wants you to visit her You Beauty store at Sydney Airport Terminal 2. Jessie wants you to listen to the Book Club podcast and download The Dream Podcast. Rach wants people to watch Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them and tell Jessie that she's wrong.  END BITS Hosts: Rachel Corbett, Jessie Stephens and Leigh Campbell Producers: Elissa Ratliff  COME TALK TO US Join the Out Louders Facebook group GET IN TOUCH: Call the PodPhone on 02 8999 9386.

The bosses are on holidays so things are getting a little rowdy on this week's episode of Out Loud as Rachel Corbett and Leigh Campbell jump in the studio with Jessie. Bachelor couple Matty J and Laura Byrne are having a baby. It’s glorious news, especially after they suffered a miscarriage earlier this year. And what’s even better is that they are having a baby without getting married, and in a year of big fancy weddings that’s refreshing as all hell. Plus, we unpack everything you need to know about Yael Stone’s allegations against Geoffrey Rush. We solve an uncomfortable group therapy and discuss the relationship feeling that every human on the planet has. Strap yourselves in, it’s going to be a fun ride.

Karl Stefanovic's wedding sparks a debate on celebrity culture and media hypocrisy, as the hosts discuss the fine line between using fame for profit and decrying paparazzi. They dive into the paradox of sleep obsession, revealing that worrying about sleep hygiene might actually cause more anxiety. Plus, Holly uses a unique analogy to illustrate the chaos of Brexit and Theresa May's leadership challenges. Finally, the hosts share festive gift ideas from female entrepreneurs, perfect for holiday shopping.

It's Christmas party season so Holly is going to take you through all the rules you need to know to make sure you're doing it right.  Spoiler alert, if you're a fan of Prosecco you might be disappointed.  And since we're all being forced to mingle with work peeps, we share the perfect conversation starter if you hate small talk. Plus we discuss the domestic violence video that's gone global with some very predictable fallout.   And, surprise surprise, Jessie doesn’t like Christmas Carols, but there's one she finds particularly problematic...

If you've come looking for Elf On The Shelf tips you're in the wrong place. We're in the lead-up to Christmas and Holly's in the depths of Elf On The Shelf hell, for the umpteenth year running. But she's having a far better week than Chris Dawson, who was arrested for the suspected murder of his wife Lynette. He's been extradited to Sydney and refused bail. And it's all thanks to the incredible Hedley Thomas and the Teacher's Pet podcast, as well as some new witness statements. Plus, the Mamamia Out Loud team tackle a group therapy from a listener who's struggling with her ex-partner's new wedding plans. She wants to crawl into a hole and... drink. And what is The Merit Myth? It's had an effect on Sarah Hansen-Young in passing weeks, but funnily enough on very few men.
