The Day That Glitter Died
Outlouders, we have bad news. Glitter is great for our spirits, terrible for the environment. What will Mia wear if the sparkly stuff is banned? Also, this Friday we're all about the helping. How do you help a loved one when they're stuck in a hospital ward and going through hell? How do you survive festive small-talk with people you don't know very well? And come on, in 2017, is there really such a thing as "too soon" to sleep with someone you're attracted to?

BONUS: The Revolution Has Come For Don Burke
Ever since one of Hollywood's most powerful men, Harvey Weinstein, was exposed as a sexual predator who had been preying on women in his industry for four decades, the list of men behaving disgustingly has been growing at an incredible rate. Yesterday, thanks to the tireless work of some stellar Australian journalists - primary amongst them Kate McCLymont and Tracey Spicer - a big Australian name was added to that list. Don Burke. The now 70 -year-old was once the biggest name in Australian television. His show, Burke's Backyard spun off into specials, a magazine and a million lucrative events and appearances. He could do no wrong. But the rumours about his behaviour towards women never changed, he was, as legendary TV executive Sam Chisholm told the Fairfax press yesterday, 'a disgrace' and a 'terrible grub'. So what does this mean? And what will happen next? Rachel, Holly and Jessie discuss... Show Notes Your host is Holly Wainwright with Rachel Corbett and Jessie Stephens Mia Freedman is away.

Everybody’s Lady Bits Are Different
If you're wearing jeans, you're not a feminist. Sorry. According to Aussie actress Caitlin Stasey, jeans don't leave enough room for your Lady Bits and that's extremely problematic. Before you throw them out though, spare a thought for poor millennials. They're having their midlife crises as young as 27 and Jessie reckons she knows why. Plus, an awkward listener dilemma tempts one woman to quit her job, and Rachel Corbett recommends you stare at a wall for the weekend. Show Notes Your host is Holly Wainwright with Rachel Corbett and Jessie Stephens. Your producer and editor for this episode is Luca Lavigne. The Director of Podcasts is Rachel Corbett. Jessie recommends listening to the podcast Alone: A Love Story. Holly thinks you should do some DIY craft that shows people you're smart. And Rachel Corbett forgot to prepare a recommendation.

There's Nothing Wrong With The Creamy Middle
Frances Abbott, daughter of ex-PM Tony Abbott, confirmed her engagement to Australian Olympic rower Sam Loch but the pair have only been dating two weeks. So, how quick is too quick for a proposal? And do you paint your fingernails the same as your toenails? It’s the dilemma that Holly has some (surprisingly) hard and fast rules about. Plus, why does everyone hate Lena Dunham? The Girls creator defended her friend Murray Miller when he was accused of sexual assault this week. So did she cast doubt over the legitimacy of women’s stories everywhere, or did she do the right thing?

Nothing Good Starts With A Deleted Tweet

Yes! Yes! Yes!
Australia has voted YES. Most of Out Loud was at the marriage equality announcement today, and are sprinkled with glitter and smiling their heads off. But what happens next? Plus, is it time we culled the office Christmas party? Is it too problematic in these sensitive times? And, last week, comedian, Louis CK “apologised” for masturbating in front of five. But for many people - his apology, which forgot two keywords - was not enough. Which makes us wonder - is it possible to please the apology police?

Never Put A Cucumber Where Cucumbers Shouldn't Go
Shut the front door, Outlouders. Jessie Stephens has a recommendation today that will blow your hair back, and it's all about what should - and should never - go near your pink parts. Also, have you ever been 'stashed'? It's a new word for a relationship situation that's as old as time. Has it happened to you? Is it ever okay to 'shirt-front' the Prime Minister? Karl Stefanovic did it this week. Was it investigative journalism in action? Or just plain rude? And - shop changing-room etiquette? What's okay and not okay to do when you're behind the dreaded curtain? Happy Friday. Show Notes Your host is Holly Wainwright with Mia Freedman and Jessie Stephens Your producer and editor is Elissa Ratliff The Director of Podcasts is Rachel Corbett Mia thinks you should watch The Letdown on ABC iView Jessie recommends not using soap on your pink bits.
