Oops, Barnaby Joyce has done it again. He’s played with our hearts. He got lost in the game. The member for New England has raised the issue of a ‘grey area’ over whether or not he's the biological father of his girlfriends baby. We hope someone is telling Vicki to run for the hills. Plus, Frances McDormand made a kick-ass speech at the Oscars this week, but what the hell was she talking about when she said inclusion rider? And what the heck do you do if you are being gaslighted at work? THE END...

If you're single get your backside up to the Northern Territory, because it's a bit of a blokefest right now. It's a serious problem, but not nearly as serious as the fact we are ALL destroying avocados by being a bit too touchy-feely in our ongoing quest for the perfect av. Plus, a list of dinner party dos and don'ts that isolates anyone who's vegan, and a listener dilemma that has Mia thinking back to her treacherous single days.

Outlouders, you may have heard we have a new Deputy Prime Minister. It’s a big deal. But are the opinions he held 20 years ago still relevant?

Hands up if you wish life came with a "no chat" button? Is that all hands up we see? Yeah, thought so. This week Leigh and Rach are calling for rideshare apps to come with an option to request "no small talk." Plus, we need to talk about the barney going on between Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker because, as Mia says, people can have disagreements but it doesn’t mean women can’t work together. And if you're single, you're most definitely happier and healthier than everyone else. So happy V...

Outlouders, it’s been the biggest kept secret in the New England electorate, and now we know that Barnaby Joyce is expecting a child with his former-staffer.

Outlouders, did you know that when it comes to modern dating you aren’t supposed to give someone your surname until things get serious? Yeah, we didn’t know that either…#uncool.

Outlouders - is it just us or is everyone feeling a bit woo-woo by this time of year? If you are nodding - then we have some good news for you. The non zero day could change your life. Or make you really annoyed. Plus, you may have noticed ... It's tennis time.

And can someone please explain Ashy Bi...

Here at Mamamia Out Loud we wondered how we should talk about the devastating suicide of 14-year-old Dolly Everett. Would we be invading the families privacy? What could we add to the conversation? How could we make a difference? But we realised when tragedies happen you need to talk about them. To process them, to shed light on them and to try to prevent them from happening again. To do this we rang friend of the show Rebecca Sparrow, a woman who talks to teenage girls for a living to learn mor...

We're baaacckkk. Happy 2018 Outlouders. What a year we are going to have. First things first though...we need to discuss the Golden Globes.

We began the year watching a man who has been accused of sexual assault by no fewer than 13 women being sworn in as the 45th President of the United States. We’ve ended in the middle of an earth-shifting #metoo movement, which has seen powerful men stripped of their untouchable status along with their honours and sometimes, their livelihoods. Rachel and Holly are joined by the face of our local #metoo movement, journalist, activist and feminist Tracey Spicer to talk about how 2017 became the yea...

2017 was the year Australia finally decided it was time to make it legal for same sex couples to marry and to say it’s been a long journey is an understatement. Placed in the “too hard” basket by both Labour and the Coalition for too long, we began it might not ever happen. What followed was possibly even more controversial - a non-binding postal vote. But, we got there in the end and just this month the first same sex couple got married. The former Prime Minister Tony Abbott was the leading fac...

Also, if you're wondering whether to break up or stay together these holidays - the answer could lie in a loaf of bread. And does Matt Damon need to just stop talking? Or is it impossible to say the right thing at this moment of Reckoning. And lastly, there's a very smart reason why one of the world's most powerful women...
