SUNDAY SPECIAL: Mia, Holly & The Attack On Teenage Girls

Are you a woman? Apparently, it's your fault Meghan Markle is being hounded by the media. That’s according to The Times columnist Carol Midgley, but Mia Freedman strongly disagrees. So is our desire for gossip and pictures deadly, or just a bit of fun? Karl Lagerfeld, the Creative Director of Chanel, died at the age of 85 earlier this week. And while everyone is talking about his contribution to fashion, Jessie thinks there’s something else that he got right - and it's about relationships. And why do scammers find it so easy to manipulate women? The answer is really bloody sad. END BITS Hosts: Mia Freedman, Jessie Stephens and Holly Wainwright.

Have you heard? We've got a new podcast here at Mamamia. It's a daily show called The Quicky. And we want to introduce it to you... The Quicky is the easiest and most enjoyable way to get across the news every day. And it’s delivered straight to your ears in a daily podcast so you can listen whenever you want, wherever you are...at the gym, on the train, in the playground or at night while you're making dinner. In this episode of The Quicky, we unravel the story of missing Dubai Princess, Latifa bint Mohammed al-Maktoum. In March 2018 Princess Latifa, the 33 year old daughter of Dubai’s ruler Sheikh Mohammed, attempted to escape her oppressive life after years of torture, imprisonment, and lack of basic human rights. Unfortunately Latifah’s escape didn’t go to plan and she was recaptured on a yacht off the coast of India. She hasn’t been seen publicly since. We speak with the CEO of Detained In Dubai, Radha Stirling, who helped Latifa with her escape attempt and is continuing to raise awareness about the case. As you will hear, Latifa’s life is far from a fairytale and life behind the palace walls is anything but safe.

Did you wear make up to school? A girl’s school in Victoria has made headlines after students were made to remove eyelash extensions before their school photos. And a question we couldn’t help but ask this week: Why on earth are we still weighing people on television? Yvie Jones’ protest at a weigh in on I’m a Celebrity has gone viral for all the right reasons. Plus, a picture of a penis and what The Washington Post, President Donald Trump and Saudi Arabia have to do with it. END BITS Read Holly Wainwright's article about Ben Barba here.

Bradley Cooper admitted to Oprah this week that he was embarrassed that he hadn’t been nominated for Best Director by the Oscars. Which got us thinking, when it comes to things like failure, is embarrassment the feeling we are most afraid of? Last week, recently elected 29-year-old US politician Alexandria Ocarsio-Cortez posted a five-page Instagram story on her skin routine. An 'old school' female politician would NEVER have done this for fear of being seen as shallow and too 'female'. So have we turned a corner in time? And Mia has realised that everyone has news blindness. Her’s is sport - so what’s yours? Recommendations Mia: Leigh Campbell on No Filter https://omny.fm/shows/no-filter/what-leigh-campbell-s-instagram-won-t-tell-you Holly: Under The Skin with Candace Owen https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/058-populist-revolution-will-it-go-left-or-right-candace/id1212064750?i=1000425832143&mt=2 Jessie: The Munk Debate on the Jordan B Petersen podcast https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/52-munk-debate-political-correctness/id1184022695?i=1000413449527&mt=2 END BITS Hosts: Mia Freedman, Jessie Stephens and Holly Wainwright.

Have you heard of the relaunch? It’s what all the young people are doing on social media after they've come out of a break-up and Jessie is here to explain it to us. Yesterday, the NRL banned Ben Barba for life after CCTV footage of an altercation with his wife was viewed by its Integrity Unit. So does this mean there’s finally a shift in how violent footballers are handled, and is it really cause for celebration? And there’s a new kind of job interview that you might get asked to sit through. And it involves making people cry. END BITS Read Holly Wainwright's article about Ben Barba here.

Married At First Sight is back this week, and on Thursday night it got Jessie thinking (you can read her specific thoughts here) about whether there was a right or a wrong way to have a conversation with a partner. Because it seems that in every relationship, there’s a person who wants to moan and a person who wants to offer solutions. So should a conversation have a goal? Plus, Mia feels silly because she missed one of the biggest news stories in Australia right now. So Holly and Jessie are here to explain what is going on with the Darling River and the millions of dead fish floating in it. And the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, one of the most generous employers in America, has just announced that it is cutting paid parental leave from a year to six months, so is a year with a baby really not what a mother needs?
