A little bit gossip never hurt anybody… or so we tell ourselves. What we know gossip to be now, is very different from how it once was. From its old timey use during childbirth, to the more modern day concept of swapping secrets, and even its application as a tool for women’s safety, gossip has been through many, many phases. So how do we feel about gossip in 2024?

Whether it be after a night out, or after we’ve dropped the car off for a service, most of us have booked a lift from a stranger through an app like Uber or Didi. But what about letting our kids ride solo in an Uber? The ride share company has just announced it’ll start allowing teens to book a trip alone in select cities across the country. Should parents be worried about their safety? Or relieved they won’t need to ferry them from activity to activity. We ask a child safety expert all about it.  Click here to take the latest Mamamia survey and you’ll go in the running to win one of five $100 gift vouchers Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Share your story, feedback, or dilemma! Send us a voice note or email us at podcast@mamamia.com.au and one of our Podcast Producers will come back to you ASAP.

Egg donation is not a common practise here in Australia. Many women don't consider doing it unless they are specifically approached by someone they know to do so. So what would it take for you to donate your eggs to help a couple who haven't been able to conceive themselves? We speak to Stef, who has undergone the full process of egg donation to demystify what it takes to give the ultimate gift to a couple desperate to start a family. For more information on how to become an egg donor yourself, you can find details at IVF Australia.

Mamamia this episode is so disappointing... fear mongering. You should look into how hard it actually is under the law to get a warrant to track or listen to a person. Police can not just track their ex's. This was a horrible one sided podcast episode that doesn't focus on the need for these powers to actually protect the community. So disappointing.

Great episode! In addition I would have loved to hear more about other symptoms before or during menstruation. In particular mental challenges such as mood swings, irritability, anxiety, depression (PMS/PMDD), which are so common, but so little talked about.

I'm legally blind, thankfully my husband is my carrer, when we go into the public, we do get treated in a negative way by some people, we have dealt with prejudice, I agree, disabled people are treated differently, it's why I don't go out much, I used to love going out.

Much rather be back in the office. I like the clear separation between work and home life, being able to switch off for the day and head home.

My heart and an enormous amount of gratitude goes out to all our health care workers who have all the same fears we all have, yet front up each day and put themselves and loved ones at higher risk. What a huge amount of stress added to an already stressful job. You are doing an amazing job and I’m sure every Australian would agree. Thank you so very much.

A comment routinely rolled out is that we are only 1.3% of emissions so whatever we do has no effect anyway. This episode does not address how this.

episode 123, I understand what it's like to live on centerlink, I get a disability payment, it barely covers living costs, everything goes up, but the payment dosen't, would love to work, but it's hard when you're legally blind.

I listened to this with an open mind, however got no new answers. 'Shame, shame' is valid.

Major issue with the current news segment that's spliced in - I was listening the other week and without warning, and only a single day after the episode's release, there was explicit Game of Thrones spoiler. It might not matter to some but when someone is listening to an episode recorded in February there shouldn't be a current-time spoiler just added in without concern for listeners. Thanks for spoiling the Night King for me and no doubt others.

i wish your news section was not a 'smart' podcast because if we don't download each episode everyday day, wgen we catch up on the ones we missed, we then have to listen to the same news over and over.. its quite frustrating. plus I would rather catch up on old news that I missed!
