It was Monday. 6pm. I was in my car, sitting in city traffic, tuned in to the right radio station. Commercial… news… commercial… song… some other people talking…. bit of static… wait, wait – there it was – MAMAMIA! ON THE RADIO!
“I. AM. FAMOUS!!!” was all I wrote in the group text that went to my nearest and dearest. Because I WORK at Mamamia and Mamamia has a RADIO SHOW and therefore I am PRETTY MUCH GAGA.
Anyway – sorry for all the capital letters, but they really are the best way to reflect the level of excitement currently in the office. You can tune in at 6pm every weeknight on the Today network. Already, our fab hosts Em Rusciano and Dave Thornton, have spoken about everything from the rower with a boner (that wasn’t actually a boner – read the update HERE) to emotionally abusive men and how 50 Shades could be responsible for some very bad (non-sexual) things.
As Mia always says about Mamamia: light and shade, people. Women are complex and varied human beings and so is our conversation.
Here’s a sneak peek of the show:
Here’s everything else that’s been happening in the office this week…
If you can’t get enough of our social media, then you can follow us on Twitter: @mamamia @miafreedman or Instagram (go to the app store and download it to your phone): @mamamiaaus @miafreedman
AND ALSO: Mia is starting a new thing whereby you can ask her a question any time on Open Post or on Twitter under the hashtag #askmia.
She promises to answer as many as she can as often as she can. This will be ongoing, not just today.
What else is on my mind (OMM)? The sailing. I am a sailor (in that I know a lot of people with boats and occasionally I climb aboard and attempt to have a nice time without accidentally sinking the boat and/or drowning). I’m so excited to see our Australians doing so well in what’s generally considered the most boring sport to watch since golf made it onto our television screens.
How’s your week going? What’s on your mind?

OMM -
Work, will it ever get any better or am I just flogging a dead horse? Am I being a drama queen and getting myself so worked up about how much I dislike my job, only to come to work and realise it is not so bad. Do my bosses really think I am doing as well as they say I am?? Is going back to a city job, monday - friday with a 35K pay drop worth it, or should I stick it out?
Babies - My partner and I have babies on the mind, big time! I have been ready for a long time, and would give him a baby tomorrow if I could, but should we wait until we are in a bigger house and a little more financially stable. Is there ever a 'right' time to have a baby, or will we just work our life around it and make it work? ... also wish that little voice in the back of my head saying what if you can't fall pregnant naturally would go away, I know far too many young girls having to go through IVF at the moment, it scares me!
Partner - what a gem he is, everything I wished for and more. Although we have our moments, sometimes I just look at him when he is snoozing peacefully next to me and think WOW I did well. Almost feel a little guilty for being so happy and in love..... :)
