BONUS: The Year Of Not Giving A F*ck26 Dec 201700:20:13

2017 was the year where everyone decided it was time to give less f*cks.

There were no f*cks podcasts, no f*cks Ted Talks, Mark Manson’s bestselling book The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F*ck, Sarah Knight’s The Life Changing Magic Of Not Giving A F*ck and more.  There really have been a lot less f*ck’s to give this year.

But why is that the case?

Join Rachel Corbett, Holly Wainwright and Jessie Stephens as they dissect the trend.

True Love Means Always Eating The Crust20 Dec 201700:35:10

Merry Christmas, Outlouders. But please, don't even think about charging people to eat your festive lunch. That's the vibe from a Group Therapy question you really need to hear.

Also, if you're wondering whether to break up or stay together these holidays - the answer could lie in a loaf of bread.

And does Matt Damon need to just stop talking? Or is it impossible to say the right thing at this moment of Reckoning.

And lastly, there's a very smart reason why one of the world's most powerful women wears the same dress every damn day. But we don't think Mia's going to like it...

Meghan Markle's Family Christmas Is Scarier Than Yours14 Dec 201700:34:29

According to one of our listeners - we say WOKE too much. But not in a good way. Does this make us un-woke?

Plus, is it ever too soon to spend your first Christmas together as a couple?

And at the start of this week a video went viral about an 11-year-old boy who was being very badly bullied. Now, at the end of the week we know that the little boy’s parents are white supremacists -  so should we feel sorry for Keaton Jones?

Botox Is Good For Your Career, Apparently13 Dec 201700:34:10

Want a good career? Get botox. Apparently. Social scientists from the University of Tasmania say Botox can offer women "a future free from worrying about being traded in for a younger model by their partners or the workplace". But is this really the case?

Plus, why is everyone obsessed with an article called Cat Person?

And can Victoria’s Secret models be woke?

Also, Mia's obsessed with cricket. And we don't know what to do about it...

Your Pets Don't Need a Santa Photo07 Dec 201700:40:10

Would you ever take your pet to get a Christmas photo with Santa? It’s the new trend that people are doing and we don’t know if it’s cute or crazy.

President Trump has acknowledged Jerusalem as the capital of Israel - but what does this mean and why is it a big deal?

Plus we discuss why the latest Time magazine cover is so important...

Let Your Freak Petals Fly06 Dec 201700:30:45

Outlouders, last night Jessie stepped into enemy territory. She and twin sister Claire went to the Milo Yiannopoulos "show", and they lived to tell the story... and play the audio.

Also, it’s the question everyone needs to ask. When it comes to relationships - are you a flower or a gardener?

We don't want to alarm you, but if you have arms that are attached to your body - chances are you have an armpit vagina. And you should be ashamed of yourself.

Also, are there some things you just can’t joke about? On comedian Tom Ballard’s new show Tonightley on the ABC - a sketch video was played about how to grow a sexual harasser - and it has a lot of people up in arms...

The Day That Glitter Died01 Dec 201700:40:16

Outlouders, we have bad news. Glitter is great for our spirits, terrible for the environment. What will Mia wear if the sparkly stuff is banned?

Also, this Friday we're all about the helping. How do you help a loved one when they're stuck in a hospital ward and going through hell? How do you survive festive small-talk with people you don't know very well? And come on, in 2017, is there really such a thing as "too soon" to sleep with someone you're attracted to?

Haven’t We All Been Drunk In A Planter Box?12 Feb 202400:48:53

Subscribe to Mamamia

Barnaby Joyce was filmed lying on a footpath in Canberra, drunk and swearing into his phone last week. He’s since responded, but the real question is; does it matter how the people who run our country conduct themselves in public?

Plus, we actually watched the Super Bowl this year, and no, it wasn’t for the sport. So, did we just witness the most iconic, all-American moment between Grammy winner Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce?

And, it’s now legal to ignore your boss if they message you after hours. But is it as simple as just turning on ‘Do Not Disturb’ and going about your life? Jessie unpacks all the details of the 'right to disconnect' policy.

Almost Everyone Is Delighted For Meghan Markle29 Nov 201700:31:26

Everyone loves a royal wedding, right? Wrong. Some people find even that joyous celebration of true love more than a little problematic. We wonder who that could be?

Plus, the most controversial man in the world has landed in Australia. The poster-boy for the alt-right, a man who says that feminism is a cancer and
calls Donald Trump "Daddy", Milo Yiannopoulos, is in the country start some fires. Should he even be here?

And how much is too much to spend on staff Christmas presents? Publicist Roxy Jacenko has just blown every boss out of the water...

BONUS: The Revolution Has Come For Don Burke28 Nov 201700:27:59

Ever since one of Hollywood's most powerful men, Harvey Weinstein, was exposed as a sexual predator who had been preying on women in his industry for four decades, the list of men behaving disgustingly has been growing at an incredible rate. Yesterday, thanks to the tireless work of some stellar Australian journalists - primary amongst them Kate McCLymont and Tracey Spicer - a big Australian name was added to that list. Don Burke.

The now 70 -year-old was once the biggest name in Australian television. His show, Burke's Backyard spun off into specials, a magazine and a million lucrative events and appearances. He could do no wrong. But the rumours about his behaviour towards women never changed, he was, as legendary TV executive Sam Chisholm told the Fairfax press yesterday, 'a disgrace' and a 'terrible grub'.

So what does this mean? And what will happen next? Rachel, Holly and Jessie discuss...

Everybody’s Lady Bits Are Different24 Nov 201700:35:05

If you're wearing jeans, you're not a feminist. Sorry. According to Aussie actress Caitlin Stasey, jeans don't leave enough room for your Lady Bits and that's extremely problematic. Before you throw them out though, spare a thought for poor millennials. They're having their midlife crises as young as 27 and Jessie reckons she knows why. Plus, an awkward listener dilemma tempts one woman to quit her job, and Rachel Corbett recommends you stare at a wall for the weekend.

There's Nothing Wrong With The Creamy Middle22 Nov 201700:34:09

Frances Abbott, daughter of ex-PM Tony Abbott, confirmed her engagement to Australian Olympic rower Sam Loch but the pair have only been dating two weeks. So, how quick is too quick for a proposal?

And do you paint your fingernails the same as your toenails? It’s the dilemma that Holly has some (surprisingly) hard and fast rules about.

Plus, why does everyone hate Lena Dunham? The Girls creator defended her friend Murray Miller when he was accused of sexual assault this week. So did she cast doubt over the legitimacy of women’s stories everywhere, or did she do the right thing?

Nothing Good Starts With A Deleted Tweet17 Nov 201700:32:58

Interesting Friday fact: The most expensive dog in Australia is also the tiniest. That does not seem like value for money. We discuss: How much is too much to spend on a pet? 

Plus, is it ever okay to call a woman polarising? It happened to an anonymous listener at the school gate this week and it got us thinking about all the words that seem to be used much more about men than women. 

Also, in Any Other Business, we have a bit of Mamamia family news

Yes! Yes! Yes!15 Nov 201700:40:23

Australia has voted YES. Most of Out Loud was at the marriage equality announcement today, and are sprinkled with glitter and smiling their heads off. But what happens next?

Plus, is it time we culled the office Christmas party? Is it too problematic in these sensitive times?

And, last week, comedian, Louis CK “apologised” for masturbating in front of five. But for many people - his apology, which forgot two keywords - was not enough. Which makes us wonder - is it possible to please the apology police?

Never Put A Cucumber Where Cucumbers Shouldn't Go10 Nov 201700:32:32

Shut the front door, Outlouders. Jessie Stephens has a recommendation today that will blow your hair back, and it's all about what should - and should never - go near your pink parts.

Also, have you ever been 'stashed'? It's a new word for a relationship situation that's as old as time. Has it happened to you?

Is it ever okay to 'shirt-front' the Prime Minister? Karl Stefanovic did it this week. Was it investigative journalism in action? Or just plain rude?

And - shop changing-room etiquette? What's okay and not okay to do when you're behind the dreaded curtain?

Happy Friday.

Sometimes, You Just Have To Lick A Window08 Nov 201700:34:15

Paris Jackson was the big international guest at the Melbourne Cup this year. And she did what international guests are paid to do - she created headlines both for both her fashion and her attitude. So why is she being labelled a diva?

If you are confused about the week’s biggest political story - what’s happening on Manus Island - we want to help. Jessie gives an explainer about why that dot in the Pacific is back in the news, and what we can all do to help.

And - flexible working is something everyone aspires to in 2017 - but is it really as good for women as it sounds on paper?

Plus, can you really outsource the writing of your wedding vows to a friend or freelancer - we answer a listener question.

Kevin Spacey came out and infuriated an entire community this week, because you can't hide sexual assault allegations behind a 'rainbow shield'. Is that what he was doing? And are we finally living in a world where there's 'zero tolerance' for sexual harrassment? 

Jessie is convinced that she has every right to question whether Sophie and Stu really 'found love' on The Bachelorette. But does she? 

And, we have a hack that will help you sort out who your real friends are, and who should just be given a walk-on part in your life. You're welcome.

The Taylor Swift Backlash You’re About To See09 Feb 202400:47:31

Subscribe to Mamamia

The tide has shifted against Taylor Swift (again) following one very big night at the Grammys. But, is this just what happens when we’re over-saturated by a celebrity?

Plus, do babies belong in the workplace? A Labor Party Senator has "made history" this week by bringing his baby to work and we have mixed feelings

And, our bests and worsts of the week, which include Jessie learning to say no, a dog with nappy rash and an insufferable baked-goods-related ego.

The Change Is Making Us Anxious25 Oct 201700:50:46

It was World Menopause Day last week, and fittingly, no-one noticed. Because no-one notices women "of a certain age" anyway, right? Wrong.

Plus, is it ever okay to criticise your ex? Karl Stefanovic’s estranged wife of 21 years, Cassandra Thorburn, has told a women’s magazine the Today show host is 'dead to her’.  So, do separated parents have an obligation to keep it nice for the kids, or is a bit of honesty refreshing? 

And did you know the way to tell if Prince Harry's really getting married is to keep an eye on Meghan Markle's manicure? Is it okay to make new friends of the opposite sex when you're in a relationship? And has mental health awareness gone too far? Mark Latham says so, and the strange thing is - he might actually be right...

What Would Lisa Wilkinson Do18 Oct 201700:58:51

You might have heard that Lisa Wilkinson has a new job. After 10 years of waking up with Today on Nine, Wilkinson is leaving to go to Network Ten, and you might have noticed, it’s caused a bit of fuss. So is Lisa Wilkinson a gender pay gap warrior, or is she just, as head of Nine Hugh Marks seems to be trying to suggest, just a ‘Difficult Woman’?

Plus, if your Facebook newsfeeds have been flooded with people sharing their Me Too stories but you can’t work out why - we are here to explain.

And Pink has summed up every long-term relationship, ever.

Sometimes A Sandwich Is Just A Sandwich11 Oct 201700:48:28

Is making a sandwich a crime against feminism? It is according to the women of a popular Facebook mother's group who took aim at one of their own after she dared to ask if anyone had any interesting ideas for sandwiches she could make her husband.

Plus, What’s going on with Harvey Weinstein? At the start of the week the New York Times published an expose about his history of sexually assaulting young women in the industry. So why did it take this so long for this to come out?

And are house guests problematic? Of course they are...

Good Feminists Wear Bum Bags04 Oct 201700:56:48

Playboy founder, Hugh Hefner will be resting in peace after it was revealed he bought the crypt next to Marilyn Monroe despite never having met her.  Do we have to put the rose coloured glasses on when someone dies or can we call him for what he is...a bit creepy?

Plus, a new study found that same-sex schools won’t exist in 20 years but Mia doesn’t buy it.   The United States is still reeling after its 273rd mass shooting this year but the White House says it’s not the right time to talk about gun control.   So, when is the right time?   AND, you might have seen that bum bags are back BUT did you know they're feminist?   Show Notes

EXTRA: The Deadliest Mass Shooting In Modern US History03 Oct 201700:20:30

Today, America is reeling from what looks to be the worst mass shooting in its history. A gunman opened fire during a concert at Las Vegas' Mandalay Bay Hotel yesterday and the death toll is currently 59 with an astonishing 527 injured and currently being treated in hospitals throughout Las Vegas. Tell Me It's Going To be OK co-hosts Mia Freedman and Amelia Lester recorded this special episode to debrief on the deadliest mass shooting in US history and gun laws that desperately need a change.

The Suffragettes Didn't Fight For Tequila27 Sep 201700:54:39

We need to talk about Frances Abbott. The youngest daughter of former PM Tony has been everywhere this week - first in her bikini on a body-building stage and then as a vocal opponent of her father’s ‘No’ campaign on the marriage equality postal vote. What must it be like around that Sunday dinner table right now?

Plus, are you a slave to your ‘to-do’ list? Lots of A-types swear by them, but Happiness guru Gretchen Rubin thinks we might actually be better-served by creating a ta-da list instead.

Three Kardashian’s are pregnant. Is this the best PR stunt the family has ever pulled?

And, Comedian Dawn French caused a media storm in a shotglass this week when she questioned whether young women getting drunk and having ‘casual sex’ is really what the suffragettes fought for - but is this, in the words of Jessie Stephens, problematic?

It's Okay To Vote Yes To Watching The Bachelorette20 Sep 201700:50:43

Can changing your social media profile picture get you fired? For one Canberra woman, the answer was yes. She changed hers to say she's voting NO and her boss was not impressed. Plus, why is the nation so smitten with Sophie Monk? Is it okay to get a Melania Makeover? And, should we all be moving to New Zealand, where everyone can get married and the politicians are kick-arse?

Two 40-Year-Old Eggs Walk Into A Bar13 Sep 201700:40:56

It’s the topic that’s dominating home pages across the country... should you have babies in your 40s? Are women unnecessarily living in fertility fear or do we need to have real, honest conversations about aged eggs? Plus, Prince George started school but isn’t allowed to have a best friend. Cruel, or kind? And the new iPhone is about to be released, but is it worth your dollars or should we all need to stop queuing up around the block for every update?

Royals Don't Have Loos In The Bedroom06 Sep 201700:57:48

Conscious re-coupling is a thing. Brad and Angelina are doing it, and so are Roxy Jacenko and Oliver Curtis. But how do you know if a relationship is really worth saving? And does your boss 'leave loudly'? One of the world's biggest head honchos says that they should. Can we ever really 'love' our bodies? Jessie doesn't think so. And it has been a big week for the Royal family. Kate got pregnant again and Meghan Markle is on the cover of Vanity Fair. What does it all mean? And does it prove the point that Royals have pulled off the best PR move in 20 years? Plus, Jessie has the most problematic issue she’s ever come across. And it involves a toilet.

An Emergency Meeting About King Charles & Harry07 Feb 202400:51:49

Subscribe to Mamamia

King Charles has been diagnosed with cancer. So, what does this mean for the British royal family? 

Plus, there’s a man who believes that women who wear G-String bikini bottoms are portraying themselves as “sex objects”, so he’s pushing to ban them. Does he have some valid concerns? Lots of argy bargy follows.

And, Andy Lee doesn’t want to have kids right now, so should we stop asking him? And while we’re at it, can we stop asking all women everywhere the same question?

Look What Taylor Swift Made Us Do30 Aug 201701:02:57

We need to talk about Taylor Swift. Because she's everywhere. On Friday we heard the lyrics to her new song. On Monday we watched the video clip. And by Wednesday it would seem the internet has fallen in love with hating on Taylor Swift. But, why? Plus, we need to talk about the statues that sit in our parks across the country. Should they be pulled down? Should their inscriptions be changed? Should we just put up some different ones of, you know, women? Also, did you know that you are probably suffering from a condition called nomophobia? Yup, you are. And, is a dirty-eating Instagram account problematic? Jessie has some feelings...

There Are Four Types Of People In The World23 Aug 201700:46:45

Yup. Only four. And you can tell which one you are by asking yourself what you do with your office coffee mug when no-one is looking. Thank you for that, happiness guru Gretchen Rubin. Also, Australia is going through the worst flu season it has ever seen, and people are dropping like flies. But is it ever okay to text your boss to tell them that you’re sick? And, is the "singles' list" the new "singles' table" at weddings?

Lick your stamp and prepare the glitter. Because just when you thought the marriage equality debacle couldn’t be more ridiculous, we might be voting for it via Australia Post. Chris Lilley is in hot water after a social media bungle, which has a lot of people asking; is what we found funny from ten years ago seem very tone deaf today? Does your gym tell you “Summer bodies are made in Winter”? We call bullsh*t on that. A listener dilemma: If a friend is lying about her gastric-banding-induced weight-loss; should I call her out on it?

Confessions of Bachelor-Watching Feminists26 Jul 201700:58:57

Order the pizza, and pass the wine; it’s Bachelor week. This week thousands of intelligent feminist women will sit down and objectify, judge and gossip about a show with some of the most overtly sexist notions and standards about women you’ll ever see on TV. So today. The question. Can you be a feminist and still love The Bachelor? Also if you have disordered eating, Netflix’s latest movie To The Bone is not an easy show to watch. Experts say it’s triggering and irresponsible. Should Netflix be starting conversations about eating disorders? And in life hacks, if you’re the kind of person that loses your car and house keys every five minutes we have the weird thing that will reform your key-losing habits, and Mia Freedman has an idea that will transform your morning routine.

It's Sex. It's The Constitution. It's The Vibe.19 Jul 201700:58:44

Two AFL executives have resigned over workplace affairs. What does this mean for the office romance?  Can you now lose your job for moral infractions? If you’re planning to run for politics you better get your paperwork in order first. Senator Larissa Waters, the first woman to breastfeed on the floor of Parliament, this week discovered she’s actually a dual citizen of Canada and Australia, which means she's out of politics. Terrible news for her but I guess now she's closer to Justin Trudeau. After a CEO devised a sneaky "text test" for employees, we ask; if your boss texts you after hours, should you respond?  Can the 5:2 diet work for other parts of your life? Another diabolical bridesmaid story broke this week so we ask: is it time to ditch bridesmaids all together? And from bridesmaids to Handmaids: we talk more about our latest TV obsession, and we discover Elisabeth Moss has more in common with her character than we realised.

Broflakes, Infertile Fashion and The Wonder of Miranda Hobbs.05 Jul 201700:56:29

Today, Mamamia Out Loud has so many questions: What is a 'broflake', and are they in any way okay? Is Australia kidding itself that we are a classless society? Twenty years on from Sex And The City, who is the character we still want to be? And, is it ever okay to ask a woman in a job interview if she has children, even if you're just making small talk?

Serena Williams, Female Tradies and Other Kick-Arse Women.28 Jun 201700:58:37

Does anyone want to see Serena Williams Vs John McEnroe on centre court? We'd pay to see that. After the former tennis tantrum-thrower said Williams would get beaten by men, we ask; is it even fair to compare women and men's sport? Ed Sheeran put his girlfriend to the test and we’re not sure how to feel. Female Tradies have been slammed by people saying their service is sexist, and we have the perfect response. And is putting rich CEO's in "homeless" situations poverty porn? Plus, if you missed the Census, good news about those pesky census fines, and this tax time, claim what's rightfully yours, including a new handbag. (And if you're a footballer, rest easy, your on-field altercations are all tax-deductible). Plus - we are living in the age of anxiety. What the hell is going on? And what can you do if someone you love is in crisis?

Ballerina Farm And The Tradwife Conspiracy05 Feb 202400:43:52

Subscribe to Mamamia

Anthony Albanese has backflipped on his promise to stay away from stage three tax cuts, so is he a liar or simply keeping up with a changing economy? If you are in a position of power can you change your mind? We unpack.

Plus, there’s a TikTok “tradwife” known as @ballerinafarm who enjoys staying home with her eight kids making sourdough. But, is she using social media to push for a return to traditional gender roles or just showing off her wholesome life?

And, are you just saying you’re grateful because you feel like you’re “supposed” to? We’re diving in to “toxic gratitude”.

Who Let The Dogs In?21 Jun 201701:00:51

It's the middle of the year which means two things; your social media feed is about to be taken over with shots of friends on holidays, and to rub salt into the wound, it's time for your yearly performance review. Don't worry, we got you. Jessie has a solution for the non-holiday blues, and if you're sniffing around for a pay rise we speak to Shark Tank's Janine Allis about what bosses really want to hear. 
Plus, mothers who regret becoming mothers. The unspoken reality for some women has this week bubbled to the surface. Is it a necessary conversation, or should it remain unsaid? The 16 year old who will remind you of that time when you felt invincible. And dogs in public. Dogs in shops, in hairdressers, in cafes, at the gym, and in the workplace. When did dogs become equal to humans in public spaces?
