We need to talk about Comey. James Comey, that is. The former head of the FBI gave a testimony at the end of last week that had everyone forgetting about Covefe and asking what the hell was going on. Is this the beginning of the end for Trump? The end of the beginning? Or just no big deal? Amelia has the answers. Plus, if you are considering building a bunker in your backyard, Mia has the perfect book that will distract you. 

Join Mia Freedman and Washington-based journalist Amelia Lester as they discuss the latest in politics and pop culture, and tell each other (and you) that it is going to be okay...

What The Comey Just Happened

Subscribe to Mamamia

Australians woke up on Saturday morning to the news that the US Supreme Court had voted to overturn the constitutional right for American women to access abortion. Amelia Lester is an Australian journalist living in Washington D.C, she joins us to help unpack what’s happening on the ground over in the U.S.

Plus, a few weeks ago, we had a vibrator dilemma that broke the Internet. Now, there’s another one…

And we’ve got our Jessie back at last. So, what DID she do on her holidays, how much do cocktails cost after inflation? And what does she want you to know about what it's really like traveling in a post-Covid world?

Bonus: Amelia & Mia On WTF American Women Do Now

What's a soft voter? Are there any election policies centered around women? If I care about the environment, who should I vote for? How many of us are early voting, and how will that impact getting a result on election day?

Hosts: Mia Freedman & Holly Wainwright
