Dutton's episode was bland as hell. He sucks.
I’m sure Mia was hoping for something controversial, that would go viral but got nothing out of it. Sucked in mate
CBF listening to either
Anyone read this?

Mamamia twins part ways
It's no secret in our industry that Mia Freedman, the founder of 'women's network' Mamamia, commands almost cult-like loyalty among her (mostly) female staff.
So we were shocked to learn one of her most loyal acolytes, one-time executive editor and podcaster Clare Stephens, resigned in January after nearly a decade.
Clare wasn't just a long-serving foot soldier in Freedman's media empire; she was a powerful figure in the newsroom and central to the Mamamia brand as one half of 'The Twins', alongside her sister, Jessie Stephens, with whom she shared a newsroom, career and job title. (Apparently a womb wasn't enough.)
Her reason for leaving?
Apparently Clare wants to forge her own path as a solo media personality separate to Mia and her twin sister. She's already done a very Mamamia-y piece for Sydney's Morning Herald newssheet about what a bad egg Ben Cousins is.
And she has a book coming out called The Worst Thing I've Ever Done which is, er, all about fictional women at a fictional women's media company. Fancy that!
The story follows a female journalist whose life is turned upside down after she 'unexpectedly outrages' a high-profile interviewee, leading to a social media pile-on.
Hmm... sounds familiar?
Wait, so is she writing a book about that time Mia acted like an absolute c*nt to Roxanne Gay?! Because I don’t think anyone would have described that behaviour as ‘unexpectedly outraging’, Mia treated Roxanne terribly and people on social media understandably shared their thoughts on what a fuckhead Mia is.
I just saved her needing to write the book I guess lol.

Truer words have never been spoken
Sorry but Mishel Laurie is worse, why is she always horrible to other women in media, remember when she had a go at Em Rusciano, I don't particularly like Mia, but Mishel is toxic
I had a look at Meshel and her face is bizarre. It’s her voice but not her face. And she looks like she’s put the weight back on. Which happens I know.
Twin sis defending the rumors against someone with the same name at her Mum, which is so weird
I decided to listen to the Biz episode where Mia talks about her redundancy. Has anyone else listened yet? I need a good snark session.
‘My redundancy was the best thing ever (but also I secured a year’s salary pay out).’
I mean, good on her, but so unrelatable!!!

And the fact that they had a typo on their merch, when literally everyone on staff is either a writer or an editor. Wtf
'Writer' 'editor'
They aren’t going to like this one bit. It’s delightfully scathing.
The hypocrisy of them saying they're wanting to make the world a better places for girls when they underpay their staff who are mostly women.
I live for articles like this
