    Microefficiencies & The Politics Of A Mean Group Chat
    Jul 11 2025
    The world is not made for me. The very melodramatic Substack that describes every short girl’s problems. So today, shorties Mia and Jessie are joined by taller girl Amelia Lester and Mamamia's even taller Deputy Editor Stacey Hicks, to figure out who’s got it worse. Also, why do we need to be so efficient all the darn time? Micro-efficiencies are the new craze and with their increase, it’s our chance to rest our decision-making brains. Plus, in this auditory medium, we present an optical illusion. Blame Jessie. If you'd like to see how high you are on the vision leaderboard, the illusions will be on our Instagram. And of course, recommendations: a trip to the cinema, a very fancy kitchen gadget, and a fascinating documentary. Recommendations Mia recommends The Ninja Slushi Jessie recommends The Settlers on ABC iview Amelia recommends The Materialists in cinemas What To Listen To Next: Listen to our latest episode: Should Your Family Divorce Your Ex Too?Listen: The Sex Chat No Woman Wants To HaveListen: WTF is Going On In America Right Now?Listen: Please Remove Me From Your Micro DramaListen: BONUS: Our Honest Thoughts About 'And Just Like That' Season ThreeListen: You're A Bitch And That's Why We Lack CommunityListen: When Your Family Is the ProblemParenting Out Loud: Dr Becky's DFK Theory & The Great Trampoline DebateConnect your subscription to Apple Podcasts Watch Mamamia Out Loud: Mamamia Out Loud on YouTube What to read: The essential items every tall girl should own, according to Those Two Girls' Lise and Sarah.'Men made dating difficult, not my height.

    The Sex Chat No Woman Wants To Have
    Jul 9 2025
    Sexuopharmaceuticals. Yes, we had to sound it out too. But behind the tongue-twister is a study that confirms what many couples already know: vaginal dryness + erectile dysfunction = not exactly a recipe for romance. But is that pill really the answer? We unpack the not-so-sexy science that says that sexuopharmaceuticals like Viagra are putting some men out of sync with their female partners. And, C-sections are on the rise—and Amelia, Jessie and Mia have thoughts. Is it a medical trend, a feminist power move, or just the new default setting for birth? Plus, gossip alert: Jennifer Aniston’s rumoured new boyfriend has people talking, Bec Judd’s spilling the tea on her cosmetic tweaks, and Mia throws a surprise question at Jessie and Amelia that stops them in their tracks. And finally, are we witnessing the slow death of university? Parents are being told to stop pushing uni on their kids but what does that mean for jobs, knowledge, expertise? We discuss.

    In case you missed it, the US passed One Big Beautiful Bill on Friday. But what does it all mean — for Australia and the world? We need all the explanations. Fortunately, our US correspondent Amelia Lester joins Mia, Jessie and Em V to unpack Trump's latest 'feat'. And, our favourite astronaut Katy Perry has announced a new way to separate. Move over 'conscious uncoupling' because you've just been dethroned. Plus, Princess Treatment. What is it and what do women have to do to get it? Surprisingly, it takes more effort than you might think to achieve this most royal of treatments.
