Mamamia Out Loud

THIS IS A US ELECTION-FREE ZONE. On today's show, in case you missed it, everyone is sharing sex toys on Instagram and Jessie's mum feels weird about seeing it before breakfast. Have we become sex obsessed or is progress marching ahead for the better? A lot of sex toy brands are spending money on influencer marketing right now, using celebs like Abbie Chatfield to talk candidly about female pleasure. Plus, there’s a lot we can't control today, but something we all find soothing is categorising ourselves into the generalised boxes of personality tests. Extrovert and introvert,  Love languages, Star signs, we find comfort in knowing there are other people who think like us. We took the Four Temperaments test which argues all of us fit into one of only four boxes...but should we, or the people who know us best be the ones answering for us? And, the recommendations to distract you on election day.  THE END BITS Mia wants to watch The Split.

Post Lockdown Anxiety has seen a rise in 'Fear Of Going Out' or FOGO. There's plenty of excitement around the lockdown bubble bursting, but what about the anxiety we can feel when we walk away from the safety net of staying home? Aussies have endured months of FOMO this year, but now that many of us can venture out again, are we too scared to? Plus, what's happening in Poland? Thousands of protestors have taken to the streets in Warsaw, in the middle of a pandemic, for the right to a safe and legal abortion. And, we need to talk about Jessie's house. An article was published on the Mamamia website on Friday, giving us a peak inside Jessie's home. A TV in the bedroom has caused a stir, and Mia and Holly have a few questions about her rent, working from home with her partner and 'the rule of three.' THE END BITS Jessie wants you to watch Reputation Rehab on ABC iView.  While you're there, Holly wants you to check out Planet America. Mia thinks you should listen to her episode of No Filter with Zoe Foster Blake.

This week, the internet tutted and muttered about megstar Adele’s so-called 'body reveal' when she hosted Saturday Night Live. But Holly doesn't want to talk about that, she wants to talk about a new wave of female artists, including Billie Eilish, who are removing their bodies from the pop culture narrative altogether.   Plus, what if, instead of a romantic relationship being seen as the pinnacle of happiness, we gave more consideration to our most important relationship being friendship? And, our Best and Worst of the week, including puppies and 'clicky' hips. THE END BITS Jessie wants you to watch The Rise of The Murdoch Dynasty on ABC iView.

Melbourne has officially made it out of lockdown with shops, cafes, pubs and more reopening from today, and restrictions eased significantly. Our Melbourne OutLouders tell us what they'll be doing with their newfound freedom. Plus, In case you missed it: On Monday a Victorian roads project pushed ahead with the removal of a tree that was deeply sacred to First Nations people, sparking a conversation about what we value and respect in Australia in 2020.

There’s a rumour about Melania Trump that's gaining international attention. It started with the theory there's been a "fake" Melania standing in for the First Lady at official events. Now, the internet is abuzz with the theory there are TWO fake Melanias. From their posture, to their height and bone structure, something isn't right. And, Jessie explains a story involving thirteen Australian women, who were forced to have an invasive medical exam at Doha Airport, after a newborn baby was found abandoned in a bathroom at the terminal.  Plus, the team share their insights in a Group Therapy session, after an anonymous Outlouder reached out, caught between her friendship circle and her sister.  THE END BITS Mia wants you to try Fluid Form Pilates & Jessie wants you to follow us on Instagram @MamamiaOutLoud CREDITS Hosts: Mia Freedman, Jessie Stephens and Clare Stephens Producer: Emma Gillespie CONTACT US Via our PodPhone on 02 8999 9386 Via our email at outloud@mamamia.com.au   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.

The city of Melbourne and parts of regional Victoria have been living in lockdown, under some of the toughest restrictions in the world for most of 2020. With lockdown finally/hopefully limping to an end, we asked our Victorian Outlouders to tell us how they're really feeling, while Holly explains what's going on with the second wave of COVID-19 in Manchester, in the UK. Plus, two prominent Aussie women have taken an original approach when it comes to their maiden names, including a modern take on tradition and a clever business idea.  And, our best and worst of the week including a surprise Instagram DM from Jessie's teenage crush.  THE END BITS Jessie wants you try the Bumble and Bumble Prêt-à-Powder from Mecca.

SAS Australia premiered on Aussie screens this week and it's making a lot of headlines. Mia explains why audiences can't look away and takes us through the drama between Roxy Jacenko & Candice Warner, tells us what's going on with Schapelle Corby, and why the Honey Badger is making women uncomfortable. Plus, "micro-weddings" have seen a huge boost in 2020 for obvious reasons as more and more couples opt for small ceremonies with just a few guests at home or even online.  So is the mini-mony here to stay? Or will we ditch them as soon as we're allowed to have big celebrations again?

Two election wins over the weekend showed us two very different versions of politician's personal and family lives. Holly tells us about Jacinda Ardern’s landslide victory in New Zealand, the re-election of the ACT's Andrew Barr and Gladys's grim declaration about love.  Plus, Nipple Equality: Two Australian influencers have called out Instagram for a double standard when it comes to women baring breast on social media.   And, Leigh Campbell shares her wisdom when it comes to facials and answers the question many have wondered, "are they really worth it?"

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. Since no-one can agree on a number, we’ve come up with a different way to tell if you are, in fact, rich.  Plus, why aren’t we talking about estrangement in families? Kee Reece, who is filling in for Mia, talks about how Mariah Carey’s new memoir made her feel seen, heard and understood when it comes to disconnecting from toxic family members.   And, our best and worst of the week. THE END BITS Jessie wants you to watch Song Exploder on Netflix.  You can hear more from Kee by listening to The Spill: https://www.mamamia.com.au/podcasts/the-spill/  CREDITS Hosts: Holly Wainwright, Kee Reece and Jessie Stephens Producer: Emma Gillespie and Zoe Ferguson Executive Producer: Elissa Ratliff CONTACT US Via our PodPhone on 02 8999 9386 Via our email at outloud@mamamia.com.au   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.

It's been an interesting week so far for one of Australia’s most prominent women - The Premier of New South Wales, Gladys Berejiklian. Holly explains to us exactly what's happening and what it all means. And, it's been two weeks since Chrissy Teigen shared the news of her miscarriage, as social media commentary and criticism continues. Questions have been raised around privacy, performance and talking about loss. Mia opens up about her own experiences and describes the kind of grief that can only be shown on your face. Plus, Jessie has a big birthday coming up and it's got her reflecting on a few things. She shares her list of what she's learned in her twenties and the stuff we should know before thirty. THE END BITS Mia wants you to watch Emily in Paris on Netflix.
