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?

Sometimes, You Just Have To Lick A Window
Paris Jackson was the big international guest at the Melbourne Cup this year. And she did what international guests are paid to do - she created headlines both for both her fashion and her attitude.

Kevin Spacey Is Problematic
Kevin Spacey came out and infuriated an entire community this week, because you can't hide sexual assault allegations behind a 'rainbow shield'. Is that what he was doing? And are we finally living in a world where there's 'zero tolerance' for sexual harrassment? Jessie is convinced that she has every right to question whether Sophie and Stu really 'found love' on The Bachelorette. But does she? And, we have a hack that will help you sort out who your real friends are, and who should just be given a walk-on part in your life. You're welcome.

The Change Is Making Us Anxious
It was World Menopause Day last week, and fittingly, no-one noticed. Because no-one notices women "of a certain age" anyway, right? Wrong. Plus, is it ever okay to criticise your ex? Karl Stefanovic’s estranged wife of 21 years, Cassandra Thorburn, has told a women’s magazine the Today show host is 'dead to her’. So, do separated parents have an obligation to keep it nice for the kids, or is a bit of honesty refreshing? And did you know the way to tell if Prince Harry's really getting married is to keep an eye on Meghan Markle's manicure? Is it okay to make new friends of the opposite sex when you're in a relationship? And has mental health awareness gone too far? Mark Latham says so, and the strange thing is - he might actually be right... 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 Holly thinks you should read Jennifer Eagen's new book Manhatten Beach Jessie recommends reading Caroline Overington's book The Lucky One Mia wants you to read The Break by Marian Keyes, whose No Filter will be going live next week.

What Would Lisa Wilkinson Do
You might have heard that Lisa Wilkinson has a new job. After 10 years of waking up with Today on Nine, Wilkinson is leaving to go to Network Ten, and you might have noticed, it’s caused a bit of fuss.

And Pink has summed up every long-term relationship, ever.
