    Is everyone beautiful? A mass experiment in the Mamamia office certainly suggests that they don’t feel it. Holly, Mia and Em Vernem unpack the impact of beauty standards on the everyday woman (and it gets pretty heated!).

    Plus, your weekly recommendations of things to watch, read and do this weekend which include a very sweary puppet, a viral book and a self-helpy app. 

    And, from a very embarrassing partner, wagging work and Mia’s new boss, it's our best and worst of the week.

    We Give Our Exes A Performance Review

    We Give Our Exes A Performance Review

    Have you ever given your ex a performance review? Or perhaps you've received one? Maybe check your inbox.

    In this episode, we're using office terminology as a metaphor for failed relationships. Maybe you promoted your ex to full-time when they should've just stayed casual, or maybe they never should've passed probation. We've asked Em Vernem to explain this important and serious trend.

    Subscribe to Mamamia

    Brittany Higgins is back in the news this week, and this time we're celebrating her. We discuss the media's coverage of Brittany's wedding to her long-time partner, David Sharaz, and why some outlets are being snarky instead of supportive.

    Plus, is 13 too young for teens to be on social media? Aussie celebs are backing a cause to introduce legislation that sets an age limit for social media access, and they want the parents to get involved too. 

    And, the separation of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. We're diving into why we love women supporting women... until that woman is Angelina Jolie.

    Introducing... The Baby Bubble

    Outlouders, we're on the home stretch for Season 1 of The Baby Bubble, so let us revisit one of the many pearls of wisdom handed down by Jessie & Clare.

    Whether you’re breastfeeding, formula feeding or dare we say it bottle feeding, everyone’s got an opinion on how to do it better.

    The fun thing about giving your baby nutrients is that it’s uniquely cooked for every individual.

    And don’t even get us started on breast pumps.

ES 013 ,

I had high hopes…

I was really looking forward to a different take on the book Spare. Then it became apparent quite quickly that most of the hosts didn’t actually read the book before commenting and therefore just added to the out of context takes readily available in the media already. I’d offer this is mainly for an older audience as well which is fine, just realized quickly there’s a certain audience the show is after.

Misses the mark

I have been listening to MMOL for years but not speaking about the genocide in Gaza has really put me off. It is what women are talking about and should be addressed regardless of the views of the hosts (or owner of the company).

Penny Love 2012 ,

Great show!

Happy birthday Holly and Jessie (and Claire😉) from one December birthday baby to another!

I love this show, I’ve just come across it this year and just love it. Such interesting topics discussed and funnies also.
Thanks for giving me something to listen to ladies 😊
