Mamamia Out Loud

Have you seen a group of twerking ladies in your newsfeed? What do they have to do with a formal ceremony to officially commission a $2 billion addition to the Royal Australian Navy?

Plus, do politicians’ partners owe us their opinions? It’s a question that’s been raised about Jenny Morrison this week. 

And, our very best and very worst of the week which might involve something about rescue dogs, vaccines and fashion.

Has your newsfeed been flooded with images of a woman in suffragette white, her face a picture of defiant rage, calling for an apology from the Prime Minister? That's Christine Holgate, and she's found her voice. 

Plus, one of the 2000s worst fashion trends is back, and it's bad news for just about all of us.

And, what happens when facts back up a problematic bias? The argument about racism and research that’s hit the headlines.

Last week, Prince Philip died, at 99 years of age, with his wife, The Queen, by his side. Among a sea of tributes, are there some darker truths being ignored? How has the world reacted to the loss of the Duke of Edinburgh? 

Plus, you might have seen headlines today that schools in some parts of the country are banning the use of the terms “Mum” and “Dad.” Is that true?

And, is it possible to hack happiness? The World Happiness Report is out, and there are four things we can learn from it.

In case you missed it, there have been some important changes to the Covid vaccine rollout around the country. Our newshound, Fauziah Ibrahim, breaks it down for us. Who's impacted? When will we get immunized? What are the concerns around the Astrazeneca jab?

Plus, Gwyneth Paltrow shared some tips on how to apply SPF and it didn’t go down… well, while an ABC article is doing the rounds, highlighting the personal journey of someone called Duleesha, who was reportedly asked by HR  to change her name to something "more Australian."

And, our best and worst of the week, including a long plane ride and a family reunion.

You might’ve seen or read about a picture of Khloe Kardashian doing the rounds online this week. It's after the juggernaut Kardashian PR machine worked tirelessly to remove all traces of the image, which was apparently posted without Khloe's consent. The whole debacle has us wondering, have the Kardashians created a body and beauty standard even they can’t live up to? 

Plus, what is a 'digital leash'? Unions are pushing to let workers untether themselves from the job after hours, but is that a good thing?

And, it's been 20 years since Bridget Jones's Diary hit cinemas around the world. How do we feel about Bridget, two decades on?

Did you hear? The women of Australia have a new Prime Minister. No, not another spill, but a cabinet reshuffle. So who's doing what now? Holly breaks down everything you need to know about the new-look cabinet.

Plus, Parenthood is a state scattered with discarded pure intentions. What's Em Rata done to spark our latest conversation about parenting? 

And, we know what it means to be monogamous, but what about being...monogamish?

You might have read about a big ship over the last week. A very big, very stuck ship. On Tuesday of last week, a 400 meter long, 200,000-tonne ship became wedged across the Suez Canal, in Egypt. So why is this a news story? And why can't we stop laughing at the memes it's generated? 

Plus, a couples counselor claims that the most common reason couples fall out of love and stop being intimate is because of a pursuer-distancer dynamic that develops over time. So what does it mean if you're the pursuer or the distancer in your relationships, romantic or otherwise? 

And, is botox the new baseline of beauty standards?

This is a bad-news free show! We're taking a hiatus from the news cycle that continues to depress us, and today's episode is a place of joy. Starting with Meghan Markle. No, we're not done talking about the Oprah interview...But what has she taught us about in-laws? 

Plus, you’re not lazy. Your productivity is just based on your chronotype. So what the hell is a chronotype and what does it have to do with your circadian rhythm? 

And, our best and worst of the week.

Recommendations: Holly wants you to watch Moxie on Netflix

For what feels like the last 100 episodes, we have led the show with the topic of sexual assault. And we’re sick of it. We’re not sick that women are talking about it, but we’re sick of nothing changing. So what next?

Plus, Prince Harry has a day job. It's his first office gig, which has left us wondering, does he know how to use email? Make a spreadsheet? Will he have regular catch-ups with his manager? Can you even IMAGINE having Prince Harry as a colleague?

And, what is ‘brain octane oil,’ and why is it part of Orlando Bloom’s morning routine?

THE END BITS
