We’ve unofficially made 2013 the year of the Podcast.
Every week, Mamamia Publisher Mia Freedman and Managing Editor Jamila Rizvi will be sitting down to talk about – well, whatever is going on really.
In the very first podcast a few weeks ago, the two of them managed to talk for 20 minutes about drugs in sport. Which is remarkable considering Mia’s well-known disinterest for all things sporty.
The second time round, they spoke about: Lena Dunham’s character being branded as ‘too ugly’ to sleep with her hot co-star, what goes on behind the scenes on the Today Show, post-traumatic stress disorder after birth and the website that hooks uni students up with rich guys to pay for their education.
This week they’re discussing Perez Hilton’s baby announcement, Seth MacFarlane hosting the Oscars, childhood obesity and Kirstie Clements speaking out about what goes on in the world of high end fashion and modelling.
Enjoy it!

Hi Ladies,
I really enjoy listening to you both. Some issues I'd love to hear you discuss include:
Education - funding, priorities, the growing gap between private and state, making an ideological versus personal circumstances choice.
Asylum Seeker dialogue - how did we get here and how can we change it!
Taylor Swifts swipe at Fey and Poehler
Thanks!!
Love the podcast guys - keep 'em coming.
Like others - I concur, iTunes availability would be fab. The only other hopefully constructive piece of feedback I had was that a lot of the content over the three podcasts is word for work the same as the posts they are referring to. As someone who reads the posts this made the listening experience a bit repetitive. Perhaps you could focus on people's comments and the conversations that ensue after a post (acknowledging that you do need to intro a topic to give background).
Sorry it rained on you in Melbourne - very unlucky, we've had such a hot Summer.
