There's Only One Word for 2016

As most of WA is returned to lockdown for the next five days, we're talking about a brand of vaccine hesitancy emerging in women of a certain age. Plus, over the last couple of days, you might have heard the words GAME STOP bandied about as if you’re meant to know about what it is. Jessie explains how we can wrap our heads around it. And, the new Sex And The City reboot is going to deal with COVID. Of course. What do we think about our escapist pleasures being dragged into the real world? Could S&TC in lockdown be interesting with no sex and no city? How do we feel when covid enters our fiction/entertainment? THE END BITS Recommendations: Holly wants you to watch It's A Sin on Stan.

Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles are dating and it's another case of the internet having lots of opinions about two famous people getting together. Olivia is being hammered for dating a younger man and we think she's receiving a special brand of hatred reserved only for single mothers. Plus, an article was recently published in the Sydney Morning Herald by Madonna King, titled: “My friend, she’s really skinny, I need to lose weight”. The teenage angst swamping 10 year old girls. King’s new book ‘Ten-Ager’ has just been released and is all about what our daughters need to know about the transition from child to teen. But it's not only interesting if you're a mother, but it's also interesting for anyone who was once a 10 year old, and it's got us thinking about how the fears of young girls are amplified for a generation who were born in the age of iPhones and Instagram. And, our best and worst of the week, including Mia's new piercings. THE END BITS Recommendations: Holly and Jessie think you should go see The Dry at the movies.

An all-female lineup has been recognised in each of the Australian of the Year categories for 2021. We discuss the impact of the four amazing women honoured and, in particular, the strength and courage of Australian of the Year, abuse survivor Grace Tame. Plus, an image is doing the rounds, an animated picture of what the remote worker will apparently look like in 25 years. She's a middle-aged woman named Susan and frankly, she's terrifying. Is it a wake-up call to change our working from home habits? And, the Errand Friend is someone you're so comfortable with, they can tag along while you run errands because you just want to hang out with each other. Have you got one? Are you one?

Shahni Wellington, Isabella Higgins, and Laura Thompson take us through how they're spending this January 26, where they're at emotionally after such a significant year, and what they do to 'survive Survival Day.'

It's been an entire year since someone in Australia first tested positive for the Coronavirus. Holly poses the question, imagining where we were 12 months ago, has the COVID impact been better or worse than you imagined? Plus, a famous 21-year-old has a new tattoo and it says a lot about young love. Brooklyn Beckham is the eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham and his latest tribute to his fiance, in the form of something very permanent, has Holly and Jessie divided. And, the Order of Australia list… every year there’s controversy around who gets an accolade, and with Margaret Court getting an upgrade on her Order of Australia this year, one other recipient is handing theirs back.

It's the inauguration conversation Out Louders have been waiting for. Mia, Holly and Jessie dissect the highs and lows of a week in Washington the world won't soon forget. Plus, Amelia Lester joins us on the phone from Washington DC. Her husband works in congress, she details what it was like not knowing if he was safe during the recent riots, and tells us what the mood has been like since. And, Best and Worst is back. Jessie has exciting book news, Mia is worried about her neck, and Holly's excited for her dad. THE END BITS Recommendations: Mia is obssessed with sunscreen right now (and always.)

The Australian Open lockdown saga is continuing, but it's a player's partner who's making headlines this week. Vanessa Sierra is the 26-year-old girlfriend, and now coach, of tennis bad boy, Bernard Tomic. The pair are in quarantine and Vanessa Sierra has given an insight into what life in hotel quarantine is really like and the people? The people are NOT pleased with her. Plus, having kids only affects your work life in the baby stages, right? Well, no. When radio host Jane Kennedy stepped down from her job this week saying her teen and adult kids needed her around more, it got a lot of people asking, when do kids need you the most? And, Revenge Bedtime Procrastination, what is it? And are you doing it? We bet you are. THE END BITS Recommendations: Holly wants you to read Hamnet, by Maggie O'Farrell.

We're back! And a lot has happened since we last spoke. America gets a new president this week, so Holly is taking us through the current climate in Washington and across the U.S. Trump has been taken off Twitter, so what's next? Plus, we're kicking off the New Year with a Please Explain: WTF is going on with Armie Hammer? You might have seen that a Hollywood actor is being accused of… cannibalism. Jessie tells us what we know so far, and why it's a lot more sinister than some creepy DMs. And, the things we were obsessed with over the break, from a Netflix smash hit to a fake Spanish accent. THE END BITS Recommendations: Jessie wants you to watch Bump, now streaming on Stan.
