Rebel Wilson lies about her age. So do we.
What's it really like being on a reality TV show? Monique knows. She's been on one. And she hasn't eaten a croissant since. Also, it's Rebel Wilson's birthday but her actual real-life age is a mystery. Why are we so scared of getting older? Mia had a conversation about the pill with both her mother and her 9 year old daughter...but for good reason. And there's a new food movement that is the polar opposite of Pete Evans. Show notes Monique on The Great Australian Bakeoff. (Also you should try baking that spiced cider bread. It is frickin amazing). Mia is obsessed with The Alex Baldwin podcast - click through or search "Here's The Thing" in itunes. Jam mentioned this Rebecca Sparrow article about Ageing being a privilege If you haven't read To Kill A Mockingbird you should put it on your list. It's a classic. Monique is pumped about the latest in plain food popups: Cereal Anytime More history on The Pill here.

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.
