Mamamia Out Loud

No idea who to vote for this election? Listen up. We asked Bill Shorten and Malcolm Turnbull for 60 seconds on why you should choose them. An elevator pitch, Shark Tank style. Also today, Offspring is back...and not everyone is happy with it. Kanye’s Famous Video - is it art or just more gratuitous nudity from a rapper? And with everyone from Waleed Aly to Charlie Pickering doing viral monologues, we ask where are all the women? Introducing...the Monzologue.

This show is hosted by Monique Bowley with Mia Freedman and Kate De Brito

Mia recommends This American Life Tell Me I'm Fat

Kate recommends The Girlfriend Experience on Stan

Monique recommends The Nitty Gritty Committee - the joke that started a media storm.

Does the Eddie Maguire fallout prove Australia is at a turning point? She's a successful bosslady and entrepreneur, so why is Roxy Jacenko always the villain? How a Tinder profile started a movement that changed legislation.  We explain the #faketradie, Mia spills the inside story on why magazines dole out so many freebies, and the perfect dessert to take when you're invited for dinner.

What does it mean? Why do you fast? How hangry are you? Can you just have water and barley sugars? Susan Carland has heard all the questions over her 18 years of practicing Ramadan.  And she answers them all here. From whether kids do it, to how she conquers her coffee addiction, and why it's not actually about the fasting at all, this is the non-Muslims guide to Ramadan.

When tragedy strikes where do you find the rainbow? Is lighting our buildings a mark of solidarity with the gay community, or a useless display? It's the modern dilemma of our time: When you hate social media, but you can’t stop looking. Here's how to take control of your scroll. We need to talk about Meg Ryans face...or should we ignore it in the hope that impossible beauty standards just disappear? And in a world of minimalism, where we are all konmaring the crap out of our lives and trying to de-clutter, what are the superflous items that can make your life better?

Plus, Ask Bossy on why you should follow your gut instinct, and our 30th party planner responds to last week's question.

Sydney's beachside mansions fell into the water and we are a tiny-bit-not-sad-about it. The unfortunate side effect of yoga and pilates that no one is talking about.  Generation Y claim they are too poor to have children but do they just need to stop buying Diptyque candles and avocado smash? Crocs (the shoes) are worse for you than we thought. The election is nearing and vegetarians are feeling underrepresented in the sausage sizzles.   We explain the Stanford rape and how the ripple effects of this sexual assault case have reveberated across the world. And do you have a good group of friends? This week, an Ask Bossy that will remove all your faith in humanity and friendship.

This show was presented and produced by Monique Bowley with Kate De Brito and Holly Wainwright

Mia Freedman is in New York and will return next week.

We need to talk about Johnny Depp, Amber Heard, and the whole messy deal.

Also this week, there's been a victory for the Facebook police. The theory that everyone, including you, will marry the wrong person. Are women being sold false hope by the IVF industry? Should mum's have to make their kids first birthday cake as a rite of passage? And in a world of scented candles, what has happened to pot pourrie?

Can you leave a sleeping baby at home alone? Sure you can, just don’t tell the internet about it. Has the honeymoon ended for Malcolm Turnbull, and does politics in general need to grow some balls?  Is Kanye West mental or just a mis-understood poet?

Plus, what you should be reading, watching, loving sick.

Deep breaths everyone. Calm yourselves. Because women are disagreeing, in public.  We unpack the Logies dress-gate, and ask: why can't we all just agree to disagree? 

Want to know what makes a good social media site? Apparently it taps into one of the seven deadly sins.

And could a former lingerie model be our next First Lady? The curious case of Melania Trump.
