Mamamia Out Loud

Outgoing Australian Of The Year, Grace Tame, snubbed the Prime Minister this week. And everyone has an opinion about it. Amanda Keller joins us again to discuss that Grace Tame moment. 

Plus, we’re discussing what Nick Kyrgios did this week, and why it made so many people uncomfortable.  

And our best and worst moments of the week, which include some COVID realities and some decluttering tips.

It's January 26 and there’s no episode today. You might have noticed that Mamamia only refers to January 26 by its date. This is to acknowledge that it is not a day of celebration for all Australians. So instead of spending 30 or 40 minutes listening to an episode of us talking, today we want to point you in the direction of some First Nations-focussed content and stories.

Jessie's recos:

What to listen to:

• No Filter this week and next week, with Narelda Jacobs guest hosting
• Pretty For An Aboriginal, hosted by Nakkiah Lui and Miranda Tapsell
• Coming Out, Blak
• That’s Incredible: The Story Of The Great Emu in the Sky
• Blak Out on Triple J, every Sunday at 5pm

Who to follow:

• Clothing The Gaps
• House of Dizzy
• Yarli Creative
• Indigenous X 
• Kirli Saunders
• Ruby Wharton
• Teela Reid
• Narelda Jacobs
• Blackfulla Bookclub

What to read:

• The Yield by Tara June Winch
• Bindi by Kirli Saunders 
• Fire Country by Victor Steffensen
• Blakwork by Alison Whittaker
• Growing Up Aboriginal in Australia edited by Anita Heiss

We’d love to hear from you, Outlouders, about the First Nations content you’re consuming, please share with us in the Facebook group! And it doesn’t stop here. At Mamamia, across our podcasts, our website, everything we do, we’re making a commitment to talk about these voices and stories today and every day.

And finally, if you want to be an ally this January 26, we urge you to send your MP a letter, you can find a draft template here. It's about the Uluru Statement from the Heart, which calls for constitutional change and structural reform that recognises the sacred, ancient spiritual link Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have to their land. It also recommends that  Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander First Nations be afforded a Voice in Commonwealth Parliament.

In a few days, we'll have a newly appointed Australian of the Year. As we reflect on the change pushed for by Grace Tame, how do we treat people in the public eye forced to relive their trauma for progress? What is the role of Australian of the Year, and is what we want from them...fair?

Plus, many of us are mourning the holidays… but what does it mean to create a life you don’t want a break from? Is that actually possible?

And sex on the first date. Why it might just be a brilliant idea…

The easing of WA's hard border has been delayed, again. It's a significant move by Premier Mark McGowan for Western Australians at home and interstate. The reaction has been mixed, so how are those impacted feeling today?

Plus, what do Machine Gun Kelly and Kanye West have to do with 'performative toxicity'? 

And, our best and worst of the week, including a very fancy office chair and penguins.

A Victorian woman's heartbreaking plea to politicians in response to a ban on IVF has gone viral. What does it tell us about our collective frustration, and is there ever really such a thing as 'elective' surgery?

We need to talk about one of the characters in And Just Like That to whom some feel a grave injustice has been done.

And, there are some things we’d like to apologise for already even though we’re only halfway through January.

We're back! It's our first official show of 2022 and we missed you. Have you had Covid? Holly has, and she needs to talk about brain fog and guilt.

Plus, we asked Outlouders what we should talk about today. In even numbers, they asked us to please definitely talk about this, and please definitely don’t, but of course, we couldn’t not, the story that has swallowed much of the Summer news cycle, that of a particular Number One tennis player, Novak Djokovic

And, we are going to talk about the things that have brought us joy over the past weeks, including some out there celebrity news because we all needed some of that…

What did it take to make a tabloid mag in the It Girl era? You know, the days when Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie or Lindsay Lohan were falling out of cars, in and out of rehab and a ruthless paparazzi pack was documenting all of it? It’s the era that, through a 2021 lens, might be the most problematic of them all, but back then, what was it like to work in the magazines that knew the more outrageous the antics, the higher the sale?

On this episode of Extraordinary Stories: Magazine Queens, Emma Gillespie speaks to Australia’s weekly magazine Queen Louisa Hatfield and Mamamia’s own, former OK! Deputy Editor Holly Wainwright, about the Britney years.

THE END BITS:

With thanks to:

Louisa Hatfield.

The 1990s were the era of the supermodels, the waifs, and a trend so deadly it came with a health warning: heroin chic. Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and Marie Claire brought luxury to the local newsagent and gave Australian women a taste of the runways of Paris and Milan. A handful of women known by their first names only were on every cover: Naomi, Cindy, Linda, Elle… until the waifs came along and knocked them off. 

On this episode of Extraordinary Stories: Magazine Queens, Emma Gillespie speaks to former Vogue Editor Kirstie Clements about what it was like working in a world that would fly you to Paris for a manicure and also refuse to make clothes that could fit grown-up women. And Paula Joye tells us about what it was like working with the supermodels of the 90s... And yes, she saw them all naked.

Episode two of Extraordinary Stories - Magazine Queens - was originally released to MPlus subscribers. Subscribers get early access to Extraordinary Stories, and unlimited access to all Mamamia content. To subscribe head to mamamia.com.au/mplus

The most infamous battle in Australian magazine history happened against the backdrop of an imploding royal marriage and an obsession with a tortured princess. And the most infamous editor in weekly magazines, Nene King, had exactly the killer instinct to capitalise on it. Welcome to the Diana Wars, when two esteemed editors went head to head in a circulation battle for the eyes and attention of millions of Australian women - whatever the cost. 

In episode two of Extraordinary Stories: Magazine Queens, Nene King, Angela Mollard and Louisa Hatfield talk to Emma Gillespie about an era of tabloid excess, and how it all came crashing down after a midnight high-speed chase through a Parisian tunnel.
