We spoke to some bloody amazing women on our Mamamia podcasts in 2016.

Eight million downloads later, it’s safe to say it’s been a pretty good year for the Mamamia Podcast Network.

We were nominated for ‘Best Podcast’ at the Publish Awards and four of our humble podcasts (The Binge, Nitty Gritty Comittee, Mamamia Out Loud and I Don’t Know How She Does It) made iTunes’ ‘Best of 2016’ list.

We welcomed incredible guests like Leigh Sales, Carrie Bickmore, Annabel Crabb, Zoe Foster Blake, Senator Penny Wong, Turia Pitt, Lisa Wilkinson and Nigella Lawson, who made us laugh, cry, think and act.
