    The Barefoot Investor Is A Terrible Celebrity

    Scott Pape sold 1.2 million copies of his first book The Barefoot Investor and changed the lives of a million Australians.

    Robyn Lawley Is Taking On Victoria's Secret

    When you think of Victoria’s Secret what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Fake angel wings? Diamond encrusted bras? A whole lot of beautiful people dancing down a runway? For Aussie model Robyn Lawley, the first thing that comes to mind is that there's only one type of woman walking in the show. And she wants to change it. As a size 14-16 Robyn is classified as a plus-sized model. She was the first model over size 10 to be shot for Australian Vogue and US magazine Sports Illustrated. And that's why she's urging people to boycott the 2018 Victoria’s Secret show until they feature a range of body shapes that better reflect the real world. Click here to subscribe to No Filter.

    Serena Williams Wants You To Touch Yourself

    Serena Williams is one of the greatest athletes of all time. But in the 48 hours before Mia was due to sit down with her, the US Open happened, and Serena Williams was all over the news for all the wrong reasons. So we waited for her to cancel. But she didn’t. Instead, Serena Williams did what working women and working mothers do, she got on with it. She sucked up her personal feelings and met her commitments. In this very candid conversation with Mia, Serena talks about the first thing she did when she got off the court at the US Open, her involvement in the new Berlei breast cancer campaign - and the fact that she sings - and life with her one-year-old daughter, Olympia.

    Germaine Greer Won't Be Defined By Her Rape

    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...

    Kyl Myers Is Letting Her Child Choose Their Gender

    "Aw, are you having a boy or a girl?" It's what every parent-to-be is asked as soon as the lines appear on the pee stick. But Kyl Myers and her partner Brent are two of a growing number of parents who refused to answer that question and made the choice to raise their child as "gender creative". Kyl and Brent have never publicly disclosed the biological sex of their child Zoomer, and they don’t use the pronouns 'he' or 'she'. They intend to let Zoomer decide on what gender to identify as, if any, as they grow. So what’s it like raising a gender creative child? Why choose to do it? And what happens next?
