Generation Cancel: Why no one can commit anymore. 06/17/2015

Women's Voices Are The Worst. Apparently. 06/10/2015

Women's Voices Are The Worst. Apparently. Are you a woman? Do you have a voice? You're probably doing it wrong. From uptalking to vocal fry to missing out on being hired for jobs, why do we judge women on the pitch of their voice? Plus, would you let your partner take your name? Would you cuddle a stranger? And why parents need to calm down about babies on flights. /episode/index/show/mamamia/id/3607056

Sex, Mental Illness and The Bachelor. 06/03/2015

Sex, Mental Illness and The Bachelor. There's a man in the studio. Osher Gunsberg, host of The Bachelor, is our special guest.

We call bullshit on everything 05/13/2015

We meet a meditating mother, and ask Masterchef to stop messing with the classics. Finally, we say goodbye to one of the founding members of the podcast team.

Gen Y are the most selfish generation of all. 04/01/2015

We are all bad feminists. Are you a shit feminist? Us too. It's ok. The theory that being a bad feminist is a really good thing.

The one where Jamila brushed us off. 03/04/2015

Some people never masturbate. True story. 02/11/2015

Some people never masturbate. True story. As this weekend's release of the steamiest movie of the year looms, not everyone is rushing out to buy a ticket. With calls to boycott the movie for "glorifying" violence against women, we ask; why is there such a real-life response to this fictional story? /episode/index/show/mamamia/id/3357858

Rebel Wilson lies about her age. So do we. 02/04/2015

Also, it's Rebel Wilson's birthday but her actual real-life age is a mystery. Why are we so scared of getting older? Mia had a conversation about the pill with both her mother and her 9 year old daughter...but for good reason. And there's a new food movement that is the polar opposite of Pete Evans. /episode/index/show/mamamia/id/3342229

Sam Armytage: The Swimsuit Edition 01/29/2015

Jen Aniston holds a masterclass in how to deal with your ex, one woman has gone to drastic lengths to get out of a date, and not everyone is happy about the Taylor Swift campaign for the Hottest 100. Finally; we ask the question that's divided the office: can you wee in front of your friends? /episode/index/show/mamamia/id/3312667
