We call bullshit on everything
Parenting is easy. All pregnant bodies are beautiful. You can eat chocolate cake for breakfast and still lose weight. And this federal budget was definitely not a strategic pre-election sweetener. Welcome to Mamamia Outloud: the podcast that calls out bullshit. Today, why Struggle Street is the most important TV show of the year. Why the budget lockup is like the Hunger Games. We meet a meditating mother, and ask Masterchef to stop messing with the classics. Finally, we say goodbye to one of the founding members of the podcast team. Sniff. Show notes Warning: we use the F word in this episode. Rosie writes on Struggle Street Her piece on Thirty Seconds The way you sleep says things about your personality, apparently The time of day you are the horniest. Chanting while you exercise. CHANTING. Not Chatting.

Show notes The incredible read about the costs and causes of Domestic Violence from Jess Hill at The Monthly Amy Stockwell writes on Masa Vukotic. What star sign are you now? The Tim Tam Scandal and why we loved social media so hard. And the show's facebook page is here, drop us a note or say hi or just lurk. Don't forget to subscribe in itunes so you get the shows fresh.
