Is It OK To Want A Mediocre Life?

How concerned should we be about Coronavirus? Some media outlets have been accused of causing panic and anxiety but how do we keep cool heads with information coming from everywhere?

Also, last weekend, Mia’s daughter Coco went to her first underage music festival. During the event, 12 children were strip-searched including six who were allegedly found to be concealing drugs “internally". Is there ever a valid excuse for underage drug searches?

Plus, what if all I want is a small, slow, simple life? And what if I’m ok with being mediocre? An article by Krista O'Reilly-Davi-Digui’s is circulating and we discuss these important questions.

Sam Armytage: The Swimsuit Edition

Sam Armytage: The Swimsuit Edition

Tony Abbott cocked up this knighthood all on his own, so why is his chief of staff Peta Credlin getting all the heat? Sam Armytage poses in a swimsuit and we ask: was it empowering, predictable, or insulting? In defence of oversized, beige coloured undies. And why Australia needs a judge to rule against parents who name their babies after breakfast spreads.  Show notes: Why is Peta Credlin's job on the line? The Sam Armytage cover that has everyone talking  The woman that has stopped wearing leggings because they 'entice' men. And poor baby Nutella, who shall no longer be named after a delicious hazelnut spread. Mia loves the Startup Podcast. Jamila mentioned the book Freakonomics: the baby name information is here.  You can email the show at podcast@mamamia.com.au and ask us anything. Is there someone out there who has named their baby Colin? Shane? Or Ian? Get in touch. The facebook page is here And subscribe won't you. That way the episodes are as fresh as a brand new pack of big beige undies. Become a Mamamia subscriber: https://www.mamamia.com.au/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jen Aniston holds a masterclass in how to deal with your ex, one woman has gone to drastic lengths to get out of a date, and not everyone is happy about the Taylor Swift campaign for the Hottest 100.
