Mamamia Out Loud

Madonna at the Met Gala gave no shits and it was bumspirational. Today, the messages we're sold from those Red Carpet looks.  Should The Voice judges shut down their attention seeking ways? The importance of muting people on social media.

And the big question ahead of mothers day: why do parents make parenting sound so god damn awful?

A big fat footy glass ceiling just got smashed this week. Is Rebecca Maddern, as the first women AFL Footy Show panelist, the ultimate woman in a man’s world?

Susan Carland joins the team to talk about what's making news. (She's a wickedly smart sociologist so of course we talked about Kim Kardashian's sex tape). 

Does it matter if your engagement ring is fake? Would you call a stranger just to complain about something? And a man is not a financial plan, unless that man is your dad, and then it's fine.

Everyone's glued to them but no one uses them to talk anymore. Good or bad? 

Also today, behind the scenes of Q and A - and how Mia made a new unlikely friend. Dead people on facebook: should there be rules around what you can and can't see? And Bossy solves a friend dilemma: can you dump a very old friend because they've started to bring you down?
