Mamamia Out Loud

Everyone is talking about Britney Spears, after the release of a new documentary. Holly talks about her days in tabloid magazines and admits her industry was complicit in the toxic Britney frenzy. Jessie asks, have we really changed? 

Plus, Sex Nostalgia is the term Mia has coined off the back of Kelly McCaren's Bridgerton article. Do people in relationships mourn the sex lives they used to have or is it more a question of mourning your youth?

And, A listener dilemma about a side-effect of lazy contact tracing. 

THE END BITS 

Recommendations: Jessie wants you to listen to a  Conversations episode about the science of ageing. Check it out here. 

You can read Kelly's article about Bridgerton and Sex Nostalgia here.

Is it time to rethink hotel quarantine? It’s been just short of a year since anyone who arrived in Australia from overseas has had to undergo two weeks of mandatory quarantine in a specific hotel, only to be released after two negative COVID test results. The process is coming under review, while today there's more news of hotel quarantine workers testing positive, and a person in NSW who tested positive for the virus, two days after finishing hotel quarantine.

Plus, Hilaria Baldwin is back in the headlines after she was exposed as...not being a Spanish person, earlier in the year. At first, Hilaria basically said… 'I’m sorry you got confused and assumed I was born in Spain.' But now, a month later, she’s come out with an apology on Instagram. Did she owe us the apology and...is it problematic to pretend to be Spanish?

And, when Gladys Berejiklian joined Mia on No Filter this week, she revealed her life has ended up in a very different place than she imagined when she was twenty. What assumptions do we make about powerful women, and what is the difference between child free by choice, and childless by circumstance?

THE END BITS 

Recommendations: Jessie wants you to watch It's A Sin, now streaming on Stan. Register for Mia's webinar here.

Yesterday, the Golden Globes nominations were released and it’s a firm… no. From everyone. But one piece of commentary that’s emerged is begging us to stop "hate binging" shows like Emily in Paris. Are these nominations entirely our fault? And how do we feel about award shows without the glitz and glam of the red carpet, how relevant are they in a post-covid context?

Plus, Emily Vernem joins us to talk about Dating Burnout. There isn't really a space in society for single people who go through the loss of almost-relationships, but sometimes they can hurt just as much as full-blown breakups.

And, our best & worst of the week, including a Premier, sewage, dogs and birthdays.

There’s a name you might have been hearing a lot this week. Craig Kelly. He's a federal Liberal Party MP whose areas of special interest are vaccine skepticism and climate-change denial.

Plus, there’s been a turn in the #metoo stories we’re hearing in 2021 and it’s unveiling some horrifying stories about famous men. This week, there’s a new one. Marilyn Manson.

And, can you imagine having slept through the entire pandemic? One 19-year-old in the UK has done just that, after emerging from an 11-month coma. Now his family has to try and explain the Coronavirus to him, even though he himself has recovered from it...twice.

THE END BITS 

Recommendations: Holly thinks it might be time to chuck out your old undies with holes in them, and head to the shops for a fresh batch.

As most of WA is returned to lockdown for the next five days, we're talking about a brand of vaccine hesitancy emerging in women of a certain age. 

Plus, over the last couple of days, you might have heard the words GAME STOP bandied about as if you’re meant to know about what it is. Jessie explains how we can wrap our heads around it. 

And, the new Sex And The City reboot is going to deal with COVID. Of course. What do we think about our escapist pleasures being dragged into the real world? Could S&TC in lockdown be interesting with no sex and no city? How do we feel when covid enters our fiction/entertainment? 

THE END BITS 

Recommendations: Holly wants you to watch It's A Sin on Stan.

Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles are dating and it's another case of the internet having lots of opinions about two famous people getting together. Olivia is being hammered for dating a younger man and we think she's receiving a special brand of hatred reserved only for single mothers. 

Plus, an article was recently published in the Sydney Morning Herald by Madonna King, titled: “My friend, she’s really skinny, I need to lose weight”. The teenage angst swamping 10 year old girls. King’s new book ‘Ten-Ager’ has just been released and is all about what our daughters need to know about the transition from child to teen. But it's not only interesting if you're a mother, but it's also interesting for anyone who was once a 10 year old, and it's got us thinking about how the fears of young girls are amplified for a generation who were born in the age of iPhones and Instagram.

And, our best and worst of the week, including Mia's new piercings. 

THE END BITS 

Recommendations: Holly and Jessie think you should go see The Dry at the movies. Find out what kind of a person Google thinks you are here. Read Madonna King's article about the Ten-ager here.

An all-female lineup has been recognised in each of the Australian of the Year categories for 2021. We discuss the impact of the four amazing women honoured and, in particular, the strength and courage of Australian of the Year, abuse survivor Grace Tame. 

Plus, an image is doing the rounds, an animated picture of what the remote worker will apparently look like in 25 years. She's a middle-aged woman named Susan and frankly, she's terrifying. Is it a wake-up call to change our working from home habits? 

And, the Errand Friend is someone you're so comfortable with, they can tag along while you run errands because you just want to hang out with each other. Have you got one? Are you one?

Holly, Mia and Jessie are passing the mic to three talented First Nations women today, for a very special episode of Mamamia Out Loud.

Shahni Wellington, Isabella Higgins, and Laura Thompson take us through how they're spending this January 26, where they're at emotionally after such a significant year, and what they do to 'survive Survival Day.'

Plus, a listener dilemma from a young non-indigenous woman who wants to have more meaningful conversations with her family. 

And, what these bright and brave minds are doing to look after their wellbeing during a difficult time of year for Indigenous communities. 

THE END BITS 

Recommendations: Isabella wants you to listen to the Happiness Lab podcast, you can find The Yield by Tara June Winch at all good bookstores or on Booktopia here.

It's been an entire year since someone in Australia first tested positive for the Coronavirus.  Holly poses the question, imagining where we were 12 months ago, has the COVID impact been better or worse than you imagined?

Plus, a famous 21-year-old has a new tattoo and it says a lot about young love. Brooklyn Beckham is the eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham and his latest tribute to his fiance, in the form of something very permanent, has Holly and Jessie divided.

And, the Order of Australia list… every year there’s controversy around who gets an accolade, and with Margaret Court getting an upgrade on her Order of Australia this year, one other recipient is handing theirs back.

It's the inauguration conversation Out Louders have been waiting for. Mia, Holly and Jessie dissect the highs and lows of a week in Washington the world won't soon forget. 

Plus, Amelia Lester joins us on the phone from Washington DC. Her husband works in congress, she details what it was like not knowing if he was safe during the recent riots, and tells us what the mood has been like since. 

And, Best and Worst is back. Jessie has exciting book news, Mia is worried about her neck, and Holly's excited for her dad.

THE END BITS 

Recommendations: Mia is obssessed with sunscreen right now (and always.) She thinks you should try Hamilton's Everyday Face, La Roche Posay's Anthelios invisible fluid and the whole Sun Sense range. You can see Samui Carter's hats and visors here.
