Mamamia Out Loud

Actress, writer and kickass woman Magda Szubanski has been featured in a Victorian ad campaign aiming to encourage Victorians to stay strong and focused during lockdown alongside AFL star Tayla Harris, and The Project’s host Waleed Aly. But some people are describing it as “the most offensive and disgraceful ads ever seen on TV” - so why is that?  Plus, have you ever been criticised by a mate unnecessarily? There’s a term for that now, it’s called “constructive bullying,” and we are here to explain it.  And, an Instagram post about ashtrays and open beer cans has many people reminiscing about 80s’ childhoods and 80s’ parenting… and it’s giving Mia some feeling.

Holly Wainwright has written a book. Her third book. It’s called I Give My Marriage A Year, and on this very special episode of Mamamia Out Loud we take you inside the pages of it.  You’ll hear the first chapter, read by Holly. And then Mia and Jessie will ask Hol everything there is to know about the book. But don’t worry, there aren’t any spoilers.  ‘I Give My Marriage a Year’ is about a couple in a relationship that’s on edge. Lou and Josh who have been together for 14 years. They share two kids, a mortgage, careers and plenty of history. Now, after a particularly fraught Christmas, Lou is ready to ask herself: is this marriage worth hanging on to?

Victoria’s Premier Dan Andrews has worked for 7 weeks straight and is looking more exhausted by the minute. Should he be taking a day off?  Also, COVID-19 has thrown the lives of Year 12 students into utter chaos. Formals, dances, dinners, and graduation ceremonies have all been cancelled. Is it fair for students and their parents to be heartbroken or do they need to harden up? We discuss.  Plus, Jessie wants to know ALL the details about C-Sections. Who better to call on than Executive Editor Leigh Campbell who’s gone through 32 hours of labour and a C-Section herself?

“Hi. I’m trying to find a girlfriend. Please spread the word. Thank you.” Social media influencer Caroline Calloway is looking for a girlfriend because she’s exhausted by men. Is there something performative about advertising for a partner? We discuss.  Also, according to a magazine article published in 1958, there are 129 ways to find a husband. Husbandless Jessie and Lem try to work out where they went so wrong.  Plus, Jessie’s been attacked by Andrew Bolt, Mia’s dog has bladder issues, and Lem’s uncle wants her to get married ASAP.

Nail polish, sashimi, yoga poses at dawn, and some other dull details are sprinkled through the latest book about Harry and Meghan, ‘Finding Freedom’. Is it possible that the royal couple have cooperated with the writers of the biography? We discuss. Also, Courtney Herron was 25 when she was bashed to death in a Melbourne park in May last year. This week, her killer Henry Hammond was found not guilty, and what played out in court was hauntingly familiar.  Plus, why we’re all overwhelmed with envy right now.

Australian writer and feminist Clementine Ford is being criticised for making money. We discuss whether there’s a bit of a double standard, and why - when it comes to money - women appear to be particularly tough on each other.   Also, did you know that one in two women don’t know how to insert tampons properly?
