Mamamia Out Loud

Don your best choker. Pull on your denim overalls. Put down Pokemon Go for a minute, and switch Gilmore Girls off the TV, because 2016 was a 90's nostalgia fest. From Full House, to the Spice Girls reunion, why are we suddenly craving the delights of the nineties? It's psychology, of course, and social media. But enjoy it while it lasts because there's a theory that mass nostalgia, the way we've seen it emerge this year, will never happen again.

Your hosts were Monique Bowley and Mia Freedman

When Sam Armytage’s undies became the target of the paparazzi, the response from the public was swift and fierce.

Is she hiding all the plus sized models backstage? This week it’s the Superbowl of fashion, the Victoria’s Secret runway show. Despite body positivity being the biggest runway trend of 2016, the lingerie brand just doesn’t seem interested. Amy Schumer is set to play Barbie in the upcoming Barbie movie - but many are arguing she’s not the right ‘fit’. Plus: Christmas is the most joyful time. Unless you’re hosting in which case, send help, and spike the punch. At what age or stage do you have to take the mantle, and host the bloody thing? Do the smashed avocado generation need to step up?

It’s party season, which is great for some but if you have social anxiety it’s the pits. We have tips that can help you pull through the season of small talk.  All you need is a helping hand a little meditation. And a New York bar has a “no hitting on women policy”. Fun police? Or fair enough? Hillary Clinton has gone sans-makeup in public. Is it post-campaign sadness? A deliberate move to stick the middle finger up to being a woman in the public eye? And a plea for no more phone noise.

The latest red carpet look is labia, darlings. Chrissy Teigen is the latest celeb to put her muff out and while she's calling 'wardrobe malfunction', we're calling BS. Is it time we stopped mocking Melania Trump or is the First Lady fair game? Who owns an IVF embryo post-separation? Sofia Vergara is locked in a legal battle over her eggs and it's not very Modern Family. Toss out Candy Crush, this app will make you smarter, and we have the best fix for when your fake tan goes Oompa Loompa on you..  Plus, Mia's best summer read for when the pollen count is too high to leave the house and Monz has a podcast for anyone who's missing Oprah's show.

So here's a question: After our shock about the US election result - is it time we stopped shouting and started listening? Even, gulp, us? Also: Sharenting - how much is too much when it comes to posting about our kids' lives? And one more thing: When it comes to bras, how often are you meant to wash them? We're asking for a friend...

our producer is Elissa Ratliff 

Jessie thinks you should listen to true crime podcast Felon podcast. Mia wants you to go to The Wall Street Journal and view Red Feed Blue Feed and Holly thinks you should watch The Fall on Foxtel.

Apparently there are other things going on other than the US election. Things like Prince Harry’s new girlfriend. Is she really ‘princess material’? And more to the point, should she want to be? And in case you missed it, boobs are now out of fashion. Vogue said so. Plus, Gable Tostee is looking at a six-figure deal to tell his story on 60 Minutes after being found not guilty of the murder of his Tinder date. But should we be watching?

Show Notes

Jessie thinks you should listen to The Berlin Patient podcast. Mia wants you all to take the Bias quiz (google it) and Holly thinks you should watch anything Samantha Bee has ever made.
