    Plus, has comedy become too politically correct? Jerry Seinfeld of the comedy show, Seinfeld, says comedy is over and the "extreme left" is to blame. We discuss.

    And, the age-old question... do you have to have sex to stay married? Our hosts are divided about whether sex really should be a priority.

    More than 100,000 people marched against male violence this weekend and today, one of them, who just happens to be our Prime Minister, is being called a liar. So what happened?

    Plus, Harry and Meghan have hired a new personal brand manager to help them win back the U.K. Can he help them dominate the jam space? Jessie has strong feelings. 

    And, former Prime Minister Scott Morrison has opened up about his own mental health struggles while in parliament. But how would Australia have reacted if he revealed it during the time of his leadership? We discuss the stigma around mental health.

    Enough.

    Enough.

    Subscribe to Mamamia

    Already, 26 Australian women have been killed this year by men close to them. And while our Federal Government plans to “end gender-based violence in one generation”, we have decided enough is enough. 

    Mia is back for round two, to debate whether Arj Barker should have kicked a breastfeeding mother out of his comedy show. But now that we've heard from both sides (a lot... maybe too much), has Jessie changed her stance?

    And, why Elon Musk has started beef with Australian politician Jacqui Lambie? We explain and let's be honest... this was certainly not on our 2024 bingo card!

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.

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 😊

Dinnaknae ,

Slow burn

When I first started listening I felt a bit young for the pod but it is actually so great and informative! Appreciate that the opinions on the show differ and the combination of world news and pop culture.
