    Can we really take fashion advice from The Met Gala? Apparently so. We unpack the stand outs from the outfits that make it seemingly impossible to walk, sit, pee or eat.

    Melbourne schoolboys have been expelled for ranking their female classmates in a particularly brutal way. We have thoughts. 

    The Bachelor... will not be receiving a rose. After 11 years, the Aussie Bachelor has officially been cancelled. Jessie shares a compelling theory as to why.

    An Honest Day On Our Plate

    Student protests over their university ties to the war in the Middle East have reached our shores, so why is the world arguing about students' right to take a stand? 

    Plus, is history repeating itself with Britney Spears? We discuss the timeline of concerning events that have happened since the end of her conservatorship and ask; what do we do when watching famous people amidst a breakdown? 

    And, is the biggest show in the world right now downright irresponsible? We discuss the fallout from Baby Reindeer and ask whose responsibility it is to protect real-life characters from the sleuths?

    Anne Hathaway & The Impossible Celebrity Interview

    Subscribe to Mamamia

    Anne Hathaway doesn't want to say anything, and she didn't say much in her recent (awkward) interview with the New York Times. So, why is she doing interviews at all? We discuss the very contradictory world of interviewing celebrities. 

    Plus, our weekend recommendations include a very frank chat about weight, an unputdownable book and a packing hack. 

    And, a very sexist medicine shortage, a toilet, a phone and tuna. We discuss our best and worsts of the week.

    A Carrie Bradshaw Opinion That Really Upset Holly

    A Carrie Bradshaw Opinion That Really Upset Holly

    Gen Z is watching Sex and the City, and because they're a bunch of Charlottes, they have some notes. So, we asked our Gen Z correspondent, Em Vernem, to tell us why she thinks the show and Carrie Bradshaw are problematic upon reflection.

    Caution: This episode has some strong language. Just a heads-up to listen with care.

    'What I Eat In A Day' content is back and all over our feeds. But, why do we find knowing what other people eat so interesting?

    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.

Gets me through the week

Long term listener and I may not always agree with the hosts views, however, they’re not a political podcast. I love the 3 episodes a week and it’s suppose to be a bit of fun and chit chat with your girlfriends

Sadly going downhill

Long time listener but I am sorry to say things have gone downhill. I think Mia needs a longer break, I feel there is more going on behind the scenes. I sense almost a distain for her audience, feedback, difference of opinion. There is so much unsaid and so much fluff, it’s lost some authenticity.

Aiiiiiiili ,

Do not talk about Gaza without bringing a Palestinian voice!

As a media company I dont understand how they can still have a Zionist like Mia on and yet still claim to see the other side when talking about Palestine. She is patronising and just throws out hasbara talking points with no evidence. For example the rejection of all hostage deals was actually by Israel. Thankfully one of her cohosts pushed back on that point. The most glaring point they missed about the Student protest is they started because of mass graves being found in a Gaza hospital - yet it wouldn’t suit Mia’s narrative to speak about that. Or it should also be noted that Mia claimed antisemitism yet all the violence came from Zionists infiltrating the camps and attacking Students.

Either have a Palestinian voice to counter her bias perspective or discuss without Mia.
