Mamamia Out Loud

Kobe Bryant, widely considered one of the greatest basketball players of all time, and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna (Gigi), were among nine people killed in a helicopter crash over the weekend and the world is in shock.  So why do celebrity deaths affect us so much?

And Mia’s recent article on school holidays has gone viral.  She thinks the system is broken but what’s the answer when kids are out of school at 3pm and parents have to work till 5pm?

Plus, in her new docuseries ‘The Goop Lab with Gwyneth Paltrow’, Gwyneth Paltrow and her Goop team look at psychedelics, energy work and other wellness topics.  But are there any parallels to be drawn between Gwenyth Paltrow and pseudoscience advocate Belle Gibson?

Hi Outlouders! On Jan 26th we think it's important to reflect on our country's history. Recently on the Mamamia podcast, The Quicky, they looked into The Uluru Statement. And we thought it was such an important episode we had to share it here.

Three years ago, nearly 300 people signed a statement to the Australian parliament asking for Indigenous voices be heard in our government, the Uluru Statement from the Heart. It outlines three specific requests. 

Three years on, what's happening with it?

The Quicky asks the question: with so many other countries like Canada and the US already creating treaties like this with their First Nation People, why wouldn't Australia follow suit?

CREDITS

Host/Producer: Claire Murphy 

Executive Producer: Melanie Tait

Audio Producer: Ian Camilleri 

Guest: Professor Megan Davis, contributor the Uluru Statement from the Heart, Constitutional Lawyer, Pro Vice Chancellor Indigenous at UNSW. 

The Quicky is the easiest and most enjoyable way to get across the news every day.

Ladies and Gents, Pete Evans is back and he's feeling vindicated after finding a single study that supports (not really if you read the whole thing) some of his bogus beliefs about sunscreen. So, should he think more carefully about what he posts when he's a person of influence?  

And speaking of influence, an Instagram account has blown up this week that shows exactly what it looks like behind the feed of influencers.  So is it funny or creepy?

And, Rachel Corbett has been roped into writing a monthly newsletter, dishing out advice so she gets some practice in by trying to solve a listeners dilemma about changing careers later in life.

Photos of Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston hugging at the Screen Actors Guild Awards have taken the internet by storm. So, are they getting back together? Or, is this a publicity stunt? 

Also, should we separate the person from the sport? Margaret Court is set to be honoured at a ceremony next week. Should her negative views towards LGBTQI communities affect her recognition as a sporting legend?

Plus, our co-worker Lucy Neville has just broken up with her boyfriend of 5 years. Among her many tips on how to deal with a tough breakup, she suggests dating apps. Jessie, Mia and Rachel are wondering, are dating apps really an efficient way to get over someone?

Some say it’s racist, others say it’s just what every new royal experiences when they become part of the family. Has Meghan Markle’s treatment by the media really been that different to Kate Middleton’s? And if so, what’s behind it?

And an Outlouder wants to know, should you be asking questions in job interviews? Can you ask… how much you’re going to get paid? 

Plus, have you ever wondered why sex scenes look so sexy on camera? Apparently, intimacy coaches are professionals who are hired to direct and choreograph sex scenes in film and theatre. We discuss the role they play and why they are so important.

Karl Stefanovic has returned to Today alongside co-host Allison Langdon. So, is the new combination working? And what is it about Karl that makes him exceptional television talent? 

And Wilson Gavin was among a small number of protesters who stormed a Brisbane City Council library hosting a Drag Queen children’s story-telling event on Sunday afternoon. A video of the protest went viral shortly after, and the social media response was swift and cutting. By the next morning, Gavin had died by suicide. We look at the way events unfolded and ask, what can we all learn from this?

Plus, we’re in the middle of divorce month, and Rachel wants to know: Is going to couples therapy before problems arise in a relationship a good thing?

If you think you may be experiencing depression or another mental health problem, please contact your general practitioner or in Australia, contact Lifeline 13 11 14 for support or beyondblue 1300 22 4636.

We're bringing the show back early because there's so much going on!

We're also doing a live show for bushfire relief in Melbourne on Tuesday, February 11th.  If you want to grab tickets and help us raise money for the Red Cross you can do that here... https://mamamia.com.au/events/.

On the show today we're interrupting Holly's book writing duties to pick her brains about whether Harry and Meghan's resignation is proof of a Royal rift.  

Plus, people have started having a go at celebrities like Celeste Barber for their decisions on where to distribute the funds they've raised for bushfire relief.  So is tall poppy syndrome starting to creep into philanthropy?

And if you've been wondering what's going on with Iran, Jessie breaks it down and tells us whether we're headed for World War III.

And of course, we've got some Friday recommendations to get you through your weekend.

Since September, Australia has experienced the worst bushfires in our history. The conditions have been described as “apocalyptic” and likened to “an atomic bomb” as fires continue to burn in every state and territory in the country.

On New Year’s Eve tens of thousands of Australians found themselves trapped by fire with no power or mobile phone service. We speak to Mamamia’s Editor, Clare Stephens, who was one of them. 

The loss of homes, business, wildlife and, at last count, 23 lives, is being mourned all over the world. In this special episode of Mamamia Out Loud, Holly Wainwright, Mia Freedman and Jessie Stephens discuss what’s happened, why such fury is being directed at our Prime Minister and perhaps most importantly, what can be done to help.
