Are We Done Being Bitchy About Lena Dunham?

Are We Done Being Bitchy About Lena Dunham?

She was the voice of a generation, then she vanished. Now Lena Dunham is back with a Netflix romcom—but where has she been?

The creator of Girls disappeared from the spotlight for years, and the story behind her absence is almost more compelling than her comeback. So why did the woman who defined millennial womanhood step away? Mia, Jessie and Amelia Lester discuss on today's show.

And if you've been posting less and scrolling more, you're not alone. Women everywhere are retreating from social media, choosing to lurk rather than share. We're exploring why we're all heading towards posting zero—and what it means for how we connect.

Plus, scurrilous (royal) gossip: King Charles and Prince Harry's aides held a secret meeting, and everyone's speculating about what went down. Are the palace walls finally cracking?

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. Finally; we ask the question that's divided the office: can you wee in front of your friends? Show notes: Rebecca Sparrow on why the hostages should get paid Lawyer and Vice-Chancellor of Australian Catholic University, Prof Greg Crafter on the Bali 9 and showing mercy Mia's book recommendation: Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty Jamila's book recommendation: The Rosie Effect by Graeme Simsion We ran out of time to mention Julie Bishops lost earring.
