Since September, Australia has experienced the worst bushfires in our history. The conditions have been described as “apocalyptic” and likened to “an atomic bomb” as fires continue to burn in every state and territory in the country.

On New Year’s Eve tens of thousands of Australians found themselves trapped by fire with no power or mobile phone service. We speak to Mamamia’s Editor, Clare Stephens, who was one of them. 

The loss of homes, business, wildlife and, at last count, 23 lives, is being mourned all over the world. In this special episode of Mamamia Out Loud, Holly Wainwright, Mia Freedman and Jessie Stephens discuss what’s happened, why such fury is being directed at our Prime Minister and perhaps most importantly, what can be done to help.

Taylor Swift & The Birthday Card Relationship Test

Subscribe to Mamamia

It’s been a rollercoaster week for Australian women with an outcry about our safety after the Westfield Bondi Junction tragedy was paired with the relief after the long-awaited verdict, the Bruce Lehrmann defamation case. We unpack.

Plus, is it hot in here? Why so many women are deep in romantasy novels involving faeries (yep... that's how the books are spelling it) and some very sexy scenes. Claire Murphy shares a sultry taste of what you're missing out on.

And, Em Ratajkowski is empowering women to change the narrative of divorce, by turning their engagement rings into a new piece of jewellery. So who does the jewellery "belongs to" and what other women have done post divorce?

The End Bits: 
Listen to the latest episode: Honestly, The Times We've Considered Leaving The Podcast
Read: 35 women on what they did with their rings after their divorce.
Read: ‘I just read Fourth Wing and now I understand why everyone is obsessed.’
Read: 'I was in a reading slump. One author turned it all around.'
Read Elfy's article: Presenting schizophrenia as though it satisfies our questions is deeply stigmatising
Read: Justice Lee finds Bruce Lehrmann raped Brittany Higgins.

Yes, We're Reading 'Fairy Smut' Out Loud

Subscribe to Mamamia

Australians are grieving the unthinkable acts that took place at Westfield Bondi Junction over the weekend. We discuss why this feels so close to home for so many of us. 

Plus, the verdict's in for Bruce Lehrmann's defamation case. But what's really at the heart of today's news is the ongoing pursuit of justice for Lisa Wilkinson and Brittany Higgins.

And, on a lighter note, Clare Stephens has gone deep into the chaotic rebranding of former Dance Moms star Jojo Siwa, or rather the "CFO of gay pop". Confused? Don't worry we'll fill you in.

The End Bits: 
Listen to last week's episode: The Best Career Advice We’ve Ever Received
Read Mia's article: This feels very, very close. Because it is.
Read: So this was an attack on women.
Read: The latest updates on the Bondi Junction Westfield attack.
