Celebrity Diets And Other Truly Terrible Ideas

Heard Mia banging on about The Bold Type and need to talk about it more? Well, good news because today we are sharing with you an episode all about it. Scarlet Magazine isn't real. But according to former Cosmopolitan Editor Mia Freedman, it's as close to real as a television drama can get. If you're not too sure what we're talking about, you obviously haven't watched The Bold Type. But we're here to tell you that you need to. The Bold Type on Stan was inspired by the life of a former Cosmopolitan Editor-In-Chief Joanna Coles, and it follows three 20-something women, Sutton, Jane and Kat, who work at Scarlet magazine, a glossy title that’s moving away from centering on beauty and fashion, and championing a new focus on feminism and politics (and a whole lotta racy sexy tips.) It touches on work wives, relationship dramas, career progression, sexuality, the #metoo movement and white privilege. It's captured the hearts of LOTS of Australian women. But does it live up to all of the hype? Should it be compared to Sex And The City? And was it really like working at Cosmo? Rachel Corbett, Mia Freedman and Amy Clark discuss...

Happy Friday Outlouders! Have you been seeing a lot of inspirational work quotes on Instagram? Have people been telling you they’re just soooooo busy? Well, turns out there’s a word for that. It’s hustle porn and Mia is going to tell us why it might be bad for us. Plus pill testing. What is it? And where do you stand? And the 10-year challenge is the latest meme to hit Facebook and Instagram. More than 2.4million people have uploaded a photo of themselves now and from 2009 but what's it really about? There’s a conspiracy theory saying it was created by Facebook to get data on how people age. Holly thinks we might be overthinking it but Mia is convinced we've all been had.

Have you done the yoni egg test with your friends yet? If you’ve watched The Bold Type, you’ll understand what we’re talking about, but if you haven’t Mia’s here to tell you what it is. And chances are it will redefine your female friendships. Plus, feeling overwhelmed about what to eat in 2019? So is Holly. She wants to eat healthily, but it isn’t that simple these days. Pete Evans doesn't have breakfast until 2 pm most days, and then he just eats whatever he wants. Fitness queen Ashy Bines is Keto now - which is like being on a diet that the Paleo people think is too hard - so her breakfast might include bread that's made of cream cheese and a few wicked slices of turkey. And then there's celery juice? Can't keep up? Nor can we, so here's what we've all decided to do. And ASMR. It stands for “Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response.” But what is it? Why do people listen or watch? And is it creepy or cool? We’re here to tell you. END BITS Hosts: Mia Freedman, Jessie Stephens and Holly Wainwright.

SURPRISE. We’re back early and Mia’s in the hosting chair so strap yourselves in. Have you been cleaning out your cupboards over the Christmas break? Are you chucking out a heap of clothes you don’t wear anymore? The world has gone mad for Marie Kondo and her life-changing magic of tidying up all over again since her Netflix show was released, but is it helpful or a crock? Mia votes crock. Are you suffering from errand paralysis? In an article about millennial burnout, Jessie came across a term that explained why she's incapable of paying her phone bill on time. And Leigh Campbell joins us to explain the silly bikini trend that’s probably clogging up your Facebook feed right now. Recommendations Leigh: Temple and Webster for all your homeware needs.

Twenty years ago, Sex & The City burst onto our screens and changed the way women saw themselves. Here at Mamamia Out Loud we’ve been talking a lot about the podcast that has brought Sex & The City back into our lives, Origins, which is why we thought we’d do an entire episode devoted to the series that shaped the way we thought about the world. Holly, Mia and Jessie look back at the show that was so iconic - and the movies (that weren’t as iconic) and ponder a lot of questions... Like how did it help shape the world? Was it a little problematic? Should there have been more diversity? Was Carrie really as painful as everyone makes out? And, if it came back, would it still be relevant? Hosts: Holly Wainwright, Jessie Stephens and Mia Freedman Producer: Elissa Ratliff You can watch Sex & The City on Foxtel now. COME TALK TO US Join the Out Louders Facebook group here.

A lot has happened in the last 12 months. We had a goddamn Olympics and no one even a little bit remembers it. Kids from Parkland, Florida, became galvanising leaders after yet another preventable school shooting. We had not one but TWO royal weddings, and staunch republicans threw on a tiara and critiqued the very problematic British monarchy as they shed a tear at the astounding romance of the whole thing. Here’s a recap of everything you forgot happened in 2018...
