Wedding Regrets, #Nomakeup Celebs and Headphone Etiquette
Is having your father walk you down the aisle outdated? Why do we call makeup-free celebs "brave"? A dating expert has written a guide on how men can interrupt women with headphones in order to crack onto them. What's going on with the same-sex marriage plebiscite? And Ask Bossy has advice for a racist. Plus, remember when Book Week was all about the books? HA. HAHAHAHAHA. No, seriously. In a week of blackfaced kids dressed up as sports stars, we ask: are the librarians out there OK?

Leaks, loose lips and reclaiming a four-letter word.
This week, the furniture is shifting on Mamamia Out Loud. It could be the very heated debate that flares around Mia's opinion on nude selfies. It could be the warmth rising from the red faces about the celebrity names we've been saying incorrectly all these years. It could be the fury around the Salim Mehajer video that the nation is obsessed with this week. Or it could be a wave of relief at us finally finding a parenting book that validates our laziness. As ever, it's three women talking about absolutely everything. And a warning, this week's episode does deal with adult themes. Show notes Mamamia Out Loud is hosted and produced by Monique Bowley with Mia Freedman and Kate De BritoThis week, Monique is away and the show is hosted by Holly Wainwright and edited by Elissa Ratliff.

Census and Sensibility
The census was a shemozzle. But among the outcry, won't someone think of the statisticians? Women athletes rule the Olympics, but the good-looking ones rule more. Is it ok to objectify male Olympians or is it a double standard? Are you a wolf or a poodle? It's the perfect way to categorise your life. Ask Bossy has some real talk for anyone stuck in a job they hate. And Mia wants to know the big question from the US election: Who is Oprah voting for?

The Bachelor, The Glass Cliff and Airtasker Therapy
Why do so many smart women love watching The Bachelor? You might have heard of the glass ceiling but what about the glass cliff? And would you hire a stranger to listen to you talk for half an hour?

Sonia Kruger Needs A Sultana Cake.
We unpack the Sonia Kruger racism debate and wonder: what does free speech entail, exactly? And why do celebrity opinions make the news? What is “cultural appropriation” and does it mean we all need to stop wearing bindi’s and kimonos? The pressure on women to have a "natural" birth is absurd. The emoji change that's well overdue, the cult of fitness, the sperm of Mick Jagger, the joy of a sultana cake, and why you should go and see Tarzan and Ghostbusters this weekend. Show notes: This show is hosted and produced by Monique Bowley with Mia Freedman and Kate De Brito Mia recommends seeing Ghost Busters Monique recommends Insight on SBS Bossy recommends seeing Tarzan Contact the show via outloud@mamamia.com.au and join the conversation on the facebook page Question for bossy?
