We began the year watching a man who has been accused of sexual assault by no fewer than 13 women being sworn in as the 45th President of the United States. We’ve ended in the middle of an earth-shifting #metoo movement, which has seen powerful men stripped of their untouchable status along with their honours and sometimes, their livelihoods. Rachel and Holly are joined by the face of our local #metoo movement, journalist, activist and feminist Tracey Spicer to talk about how 2017 became the year the world woke up to sexual harrasment.

2017 was the year Australia finally decided it was time to make it legal for same sex couples to marry and to say it’s been a long journey is an understatement. Placed in the “too hard” basket by both Labour and the Coalition for too long, we began it might not ever happen. What followed was possibly even more controversial - a non-binding postal vote. But, we got there in the end and just this month the first same sex couple got married. The former Prime Minister Tony Abbott was the leading face of the NO campaign but his sister, Sydney City Councillor Christine Forster, became a powerful voice for change and she joins us to look back on the year that was.

2017 was the year where everyone decided it was time to give less f*cks. There were no f*cks podcasts, no f*cks Ted Talks, Mark Manson’s bestselling book The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F*ck, Sarah Knight’s The Life Changing Magic Of Not Giving A F*ck and more. There really have been a lot less f*ck’s to give this year. But why is that the case? Join Rachel Corbett, Holly Wainwright and Jessie Stephens as they dissect the trend.

Merry Christmas, Outlouders. But please, don't even think about charging people to eat your festive lunch. That's the vibe from a Group Therapy question you really need to hear. Also, if you're wondering whether to break up or stay together these holidays - the answer could lie in a loaf of bread. And does Matt Damon need to just stop talking? Or is it impossible to say the right thing at this moment of Reckoning. And lastly, there's a very smart reason why one of the world's most powerful women wears the same dress every damn day. But we don't think Mia's going to like it...
