An Unpopular Opinion On Kate VS Meghan
The reckoning at Parliament House has broken out of the Coalition Cabinet and gone bipartisan. Who is Nicole Flint? What is she asking of the opposition leader? And what are the women of Australia asking men around the country to do right now? Plus, are Gen Z all about “commitment culture” as an act of rebellion against "hookup culture?" And if so, why? Is it optimism and romance, or for content and more followers? And, Mia’s floating an unpopular opinion about Prince Harry and Meghan.

The Man With Balls Bigger Than His Brain
Everyone’s talking about Piers Morgan. The English broadcaster, journalist, and television host of Good Morning Britain has quit his host role after 6 years in the job, following backlash for his comments about Meghan Markle, in the wake of the Oprah interview. Plus, Kylie Moore-Gilbert has spoken out after being released from an Iranian prison last year, where the academic spent 800 days locked up. But when Moore-Gilbert came back to Australia she learnt, whilst in hotel quarantine, that her husband was having an affair, with one of her colleagues. And, is your life in constant need of a good edit? On Monday, Sam Armytage resigned from her job as the co-host of Sunrise after eight years. She said “My mother used to say to me, ‘edit your life frequently and ruthlessly. It is your masterpiece after all,’ and that’s precisely what I’m doing,” What does that mean? What does editing your life look like? THE END BITS Recommendations: Holly wants you to read The Wife and the Widow by Christian White You can read more on Kylie Moore-Gilbert on Mamamia here.

The Box Of Clothes Every Woman Has
It's International Women's Day! While every day at Mamamia is IWD, we're shining a spotlight on what we feel like celebrating today; how far we've come, whilst remembering how far we still have to go. Plus, are the clothes you have that don't fit you toxic? Radio host Mel Grieg told Australian women to throw out their so-called “skinny clothes” on the weekend, and it’s sparked a conversation about the toxicity of holding on to that section of the wardrobe that no longer serves you. And, a listener dilemma about an engagement ring.

Two Babies In Five Months
Everyone is talking about last night's episode of Married At First Sight. Jessie recaps the MAFS hotness rating. For a show we don't expect much from, even this was a new low. Plus, every true-crime podcast junkie’s dreams are coming true right now, but has our obsession with detail taken humanity out of the Melissa Caddick case? Whichever way you look at it, a 15-year-old boy has lost his mother. And, Mia needs to talk about Hilaria Baldwin. Yesterday she announced on Instagram that she’s welcomed her second baby in five months. Hilaria - who you may know as Hilary, Boston-born and bred but with an inexplicable Spanish accent - confused the heck out of the Internet when she posted a photo of her on a bed holding a newborn baby while surrounded by all her children. THE END BITS Recommendations: Jessie wants you to read The Panic Years by Nell Frizzell. Holly wants you to listen to Georgia Love hosting Lady Startup Stories here.
