When Jessie Stephens Met Germaine Greer
This podcast will deal extensively with the subject of rape and won't be appropriate for all listeners. If this podcast does bring anything up for you then please call 1800 RESPECT. When people think of feminism, they think of Germaine Greer. Her manifesto The Female Eunuch was released in 1970 and is still shaping conversations 48 years later. But what happens when an icon - whose job it is to be provocative - exists in a culture of outrage? Most recently, the release of her Melbourne University press book On Rape has led to an onslaught of headlines condemning her brand of feminism and questioning her relevance in 2018. And she joins Mamamia Out Loud co-host Jessie Stephens to talk about it in this very special episode...

Are We Having Fun Yet?
Just a warning, this is a politics-free podcast. Stay tuned for our bonus episode on all things #Libspill this afternoon. Phone calls are dead. But there are four (count 'em) conversations that you just can't have over text. Or, can you? When Netflix dropped the trailer for Insatiable, many, many people asked for it to be banned. 'No', we said. 'Let's wait and see', we said. Well, it's here, and is it as bad and offensive as it seemed? Our Entertainment Editor Laura Brodnik says no, it's worse. Also, it's been two years since Instagram invented Stories. And we have one question: Are We Having Fun Yet?

You Can't Cry Over Spilt Prime Ministers
After five Prime Minister’s in 8 years - are we really back here? We can't guarantee that we're 100 per cent sure who the Prime Minister is right now, but on Tuesday Peter Dutton challenged Malcolm Turnbull for the Prime Ministership. Suddenly it is 2012 all over again. What the heck is going on in Canberra? We get Sharri Markson, the National Political Editor of the Daily Telegraph to explain. Plus, Madonna is 60 - and there seems to be a real generational divide about who cares. Which begs the question, is she still relevant? And Jacinda Ardern turned down a pay rise and the Minister for Women in New Zealand rode a bike to the hospital to give birth - so why do the Kiwis get all the cool politicians?
