    This One's For The Bush

    Right now, 99% of New South Wales is in drought. Other parts of the country are in drought, on drought watch or about to go into drought onset. For us here in the city, it’s really easy to assume that it rains all the time. But when you’ve been waiting for rain for most of the year - things can get pretty tough. Which is why, here at Mamamia Out Loud - we want to help. So - we’re taking our Mamamia Out Loud live shows, to two of the biggest regional hubs in New South Wales - Tamworth and Dubbo. And all profits raised will be put back into the communities, thanks to the charity we are partnering with - Drought Angels. We will be in Tamworth on Friday the 17th of August and Dubbo Thursday the 20th of September. Find tickets here.

    The Self Made Woman

    On Thursday, American finance magazine Forbes announced that Kylie Jenner has built a $900 million make-up fortune in less than three years. They called her the youngest 'self-made' woman ever, but does she really deserve that accolade? Plus, middle children are going extinct - what will disappear if we lose them? Why does no-one ever ask men how many abortions they've 'had'? And, as Jessie discovered with a rude shock, millennial prenups are on the rise.

    Do My Boobs Look Small In This?

    There's a lot going on this week... Science says cats are better than dogs, we do a whole segment on men and their feelings and we talk about boobs. Specifically, what do you tell people if you've had a breast reduction but don't want to say you've had said reduction? It's a tricky one. Plus, Beyonce and Jay Z have just released a new album together. Two years on from the album where she told the world he was a lying, cheating dog, which begs the question is this the most public patch up in pop culture history ever? And we need to talk about men.

    Many moons ago we had a conversation about how there are two types of women, poodles, and wolves. Everyone wanted to be a poodle. But now, everyone wants to be a wolf. Why?
