    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!

    It might be Monday... but everyone is still talking about Taylor Swift's new double album The Tortured Poets Department. But is it time for Taylor to stop being petty to those who've crossed her? We can't agree. 

    Plus, a debate about pepper spray and whether or not laws should be changed to better arm women against male violence. It’s complicated. 

    And, Victoria Beckham is a big birthday girlie. She's just celebrated the big five zero, but the way she’s celebrating delivers a universal truth about women and milestone birthdays and we have thoughts.

    It’s been a rollercoaster week for Australian women with an outcry about our safety after the Westfield Bondi Junction tragedy was paired with the relief after the long-awaited verdict, the Bruce Lehrmann defamation case. We unpack.

    Plus, is it hot in here? Why so many women are deep in romantasy novels involving faeries (yep... that's how the books are spelling it) and some very sexy scenes. Claire Murphy shares a sultry taste of what you're missing out on.

    And, Em Ratajkowski is empowering women to change the narrative of divorce, by turning their engagement rings into a new piece of jewellery. So who does the jewellery "belongs to" and what other women have done post divorce?

Aussie-Courtney ,

Thank you

Holly, Mia and Jessie & Mamamia Out Loud. I would just like to say thank you. I am so glad that I have found your podcast. I don’t have many friends and I really enjoy listening to your fun and serious debates and conversations. It truly makes me happy and ready for the day or keeping me company when I drive home. Thank you again and I hope you have a safe holiday season. Kind regards Courtney

Pro Israel bias and no longer listening

I used to listen regularly (from the beginning) but unsubscribed as I’m sick of the pro Israel bias, especially from Mia.
Holly Wainwright is fantastic, articulate and intelligent though, hopefully she leaves starts her own podcast!

Cancelled my subscription

Can’t believe I once found these woman inspiring. So disappointing to see them ignore the real issues…….Gaza. To be fair holly and Jesse aren’t allowed to say what they really think. Mia I’ve come to learn is a Zionist and the whole reason she keeps avoiding talking about what’s happening in Palestine.
