It's awards season in Hollywood and our very own Cate Blanchett is cleaning up, but she's calling BS on the whole thing. What is the patriarchal pyramid, and what does it have to do with awards shows? 

Plus, a Melbourne worker has gone viral after having his pay docked for being on his phone during a shift. What are the rules when it comes to devices in the workplace?

And the male versus female friendship theory we can't un-see.

The End Bits: 

RECOMMENDATIONS: Mia wants you to check out The Living With Teens Summit. You can access your early-bird discounted ticket here. Holly wants you to watch Happy Valley Season 3 on Binge.

Every year, we discuss around 700 topics on Mamamia Out Loud. Seven. Hundred. We don't always agree, but we've gotten pretty good at respectful disagreement. Mamamia Subscribers have heard us diving deep into our 'greatest hits' arguments this summer, so to give you a taste of what you've been missing, we're sharing one of the all-time classics; the infamous 'As A Mother' barney. It's vintage Out Loud. Has Holly inally budged, or will Jessie change her ways?

It’s the first day of 2023, happy new year, Outlouders. You know what time it is...it's Word Of The Year! 

New Year's resolutions are notorious for falling over, so instead, every year we choose a word to set an intention for the year ahead of us. There's no pass or fail, word of the year is about creating a focus or filter for the months, decisions and moments to come. 

Holly, Jessie and Mia look back at their words from last year before taking us through the new word to shape the mood of the 365 days to come.

From war breaking out to monarchs dying, grown men slapping each other, celebrity court battles, and on-set dramas, to a new Prime Minister and the censuring of an old one... 2022 was never short on headlines, and a lot has been said about it, but in today's summer bonus episode, it's time to step back from the news cycle and reflect inwards, as Mia, Holly, and Jessie open up about the good, the bad and the ugly of their 2022.

It's our last regular show of 2022, so we're casting our minds back to ponder the all-too-important but rather hazy question, 'what the hell happened this year?'

Plus, the problem with the questions we’re being told not to ask our friends and family this Christmas.

And, our best and worst of the week which include the infuriating term thrown at Mia, some tragically stubborn statistics, and the most wonderful birthday presents.
