BONUS: Mamamia Out Loud Live

Married At First Sight is back for 2022, much to Jessie's joy and Holly and Mia's disappointment. With one of the contestants looking for a 'romantic' partner, what does that really mean today? What does it look like? And can romance be done without being weird and awkward? Plus, David Beckham likes food. He likes cooking and wine and posh restaurants. It’s such a passion that Beckham went on a podcast about it this week. But it’s what he said about his wife, Victoria’s food that's caused a fuss. And our Best and Worst of the week, which, as usual, veers from the very serious - blatant discrimination - to the very silly - the thing Holly's partner is doing that’s annoying her colleagues.

Yesterday our jaws collectively dropped as the Prime Minister was confronted after an address at The National Press Club. Was it an important moment in an election year? Or just a salacious distraction? Plus, what happens when the group chat gets too heated? Is there a graceful way to 'flounce'? And.. performative beer-sculling. Ash Barty is at the centre of a new conversation about Australia’s obsession with booze.

What do Neil Young and Joni Mitchell have to do with Joe Rogan? There's a war being waged against Spotify and Jessie explains why/if you should care.

It's January 26 and there’s no episode today. You might have noticed that Mamamia only refers to January 26 by its date. This is to acknowledge that it is not a day of celebration for all Australians. So instead of spending 30 or 40 minutes listening to an episode of us talking, today we want to point you in the direction of some First Nations-focussed content and stories. Jessie's recos: What to listen to: No Filter this week and next week, with Narelda Jacobs guest hosting Pretty For An Aboriginal, hosted by Nakkiah Lui and Miranda Tapsell Coming Out, Blak That’s Incredible: The Story Of The Great Emu in the Sky Blak Out on Triple J, every Sunday at 5pm Who to follow: Clothing The Gaps House of Dizzy Yarli Creative Indigenous X Kirli Saunders Ruby Wharton Teela Reid Narelda Jacobs Blackfulla Bookclub What to read: The Yield by Tara June Winch Bindi by Kirli Saunders Fire Country by Victor Steffensen Blakwork by Alison Whittaker Growing Up Aboriginal in Australia edited by Anita Heiss We’d love to hear from you, Outlouders, about the First Nations content you’re consuming, please share with us in the Facebook group! And it doesn’t stop here. At Mamamia, across our podcasts, our website, everything we do, we’re making a commitment to talk about these voices and stories today and every day. And finally, if you want to be an ally this January 26, we urge you to send your MP a letter, you can find a draft template here. It's about the Uluru Statement from the Heart, which calls for constitutional change and structural reform that recognises the sacred, ancient spiritual link Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have to their land. It also recommends that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander First Nations be afforded a Voice in Commonwealth Parliament.

In a few days, we'll have a newly appointed Australian of the Year. As we reflect on the change pushed for by Grace Tame, how do we treat people in the public eye forced to relive their trauma for progress? What is the role of Australian of the Year, and is what we want from them...fair? Plus, many of us are mourning the holidays… but what does it mean to create a life you don’t want a break from? Is that actually possible? And sex on the first date. Why it might just be a brilliant idea… The End Bits Subscribe to MPlus for unlimited access to Mamamia Out Loud Recommendations: Amanda wants you to watch Framed on SBS On Demand and Build A New Life In The Country on ABC iViewFollow us on Instagram @mamamiaoutloud CREDITS Hosts: Mia Freedman, Jessie Stephens and Amanda Keller Producer: Emma Gillespie Audio Producer: Leah Porges CONTACT US Via our PodPhone on 02 8999 9386 Via our email at outloud@mamamia.com.au Via our Outlouders Facebook page- https://www.facebook.com/groups/329632330777506/ Mamamia acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the Land we have recorded this podcast on, the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation.

The easing of WA's hard border has been delayed, again. It's a significant move by Premier Mark McGowan for Western Australians at home and interstate. The reaction has been mixed, so how are those impacted feeling today? Plus, what do Machine Gun Kelly and Kanye West have to do with 'performative toxicity'? And, our best and worst of the week, including a very fancy office chair and penguins.

A Victorian woman's heartbreaking plea to politicians in response to a ban on IVF has gone viral. What does it tell us about our collective frustration, and is there ever really such a thing as 'elective' surgery? We need to talk about one of the characters in And Just Like That to whom some feel a grave injustice has been done. And, there are some things we’d like to apologise for already even though we’re only halfway through January.The End Bits Subscribe to MPlus for unlimited access to Mamamia Out Loud Recommendations: Emma wants you to watch The Rescue on Disney+Follow us on Instagram @mamamiaoutloud CREDITS Hosts: Mia Freedman, Emma Gillespie and Claire Murphy Producer: Emma Gillespie Audio Producer: Leah Porges CONTACT US Via our PodPhone on 02 8999 9386 Via our email at outloud@mamamia.com.au Via our Outlouders Facebook page- https://www.facebook.com/groups/329632330777506/ Mamamia acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the Land we have recorded this podcast on, the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation.
