Mamamia #4

I’m of the belief that sibling names don’t have to match at all but perhaps I’m in the minority, however yes way too similar to Harry and Meghan I feel! Like I feel Margot will be getting called Meghan.
 
There seems to be a trend these days to pick old school and frankly unappealing names for your kids nobody’s used in years. I guess it makes a change from all the Avas, Graces, and Darcys. But choosing Luna for the first? Hell no - every dog at the dog park is called Luna. A couple I know have a Sid and a Mabel which I place in the same category as Harry and Margot. I have a Joanna, Hamish and Lachlan now in their 40s with names you never hear any more. Too conservative I guess.

Harry is supper common now. My kids have at minimum 4 in each of their school years . Margot definitely less common

I know a Harry and their mum had chosen the name since they were younger had their Harry in May 2018 just on the cusp of everyone naming their kid Harry - they were in hospital with their newborn a few days old when the wedding was being aired, we had a laugh at the time saying it will be the name for boys now
 
I agree the names don’t match. And Luna is not in my taste.
They are all Harry Potter characters I think.
Maybe the next child will be Severus?

Anyone notice how many times the spills Laura Bodnick says ‘yeahhhhhh’ in every episode! Once you notice you can’t un-notice it, drives me crazy

I love Laura though, I think she’s so professional and knowledgeable and really enjoy the spill.

On another note, I think I’ve mentioned before but how badly dressed do Amelia, Clare and Holly always look?! I know Clare is heavily pregnant but there’s no excuse for dirty trainers. It must be a pre requisite to work at mamamia that no one owns an iron and dresses like a scruff.

Holly looks ok to me. Amelia looks a bit off, like she tries but doesn’t quite get there. Clare doesn’t give a f about looking vaguely like she is at work to be honest

Mia is so annoying. Everything that comes out of her mouth is so irritating. I didn’t miss her and now she hosts the subscriber eps, some just her babbling away, like a diary entry she says. And she popped up on Unleashed. I thought she was the “Producer” of that show. And the way she tells listeners at the end of each episode “I love you” so syrupy and sickening. Of course you love them, they’re paying for you to make your house bigger and bigger. And she came up on my insta feed. Oh I’m back she says doing her try ons and instababble…scroll scroll scroll

The was a post today in the Outlouders FB group about Claire Murphy being made redundant. Claire shared the news on her IG today. There was lots of shock and support for Claire in the comments section earlier today.

I just went back to read more comments and the post has been now deleted.

That’s how Mamamia operate. They delete any even slightly negative comments. And don’t take constructive criticism on board. You can see it in their podcast reviews. Thankfully they can’t delete those

Nah I get the dirty delete on this one. I got made redundant last year and it’s absolutely brutal. Even if people were saying nice things, I wouldn’t want a group post going on about my situation. She might have asked for it to be deleted, because I sure as hell would

Interesting on Claire’s personal post the number of other redundancies mentioned plus potential others it sounds like. I’m not surprised the pods have all really dropped their standard/quality, is it the video now or just the lack of care interest from hosts/management. You beauty is particularly poor from what it was and maybe I’m not the target market of unleashed but even the ads alone don’t make it sound appealing.
Also to note they moved offices not so long ago maybe an overspend on the Fenton and Fenton designing……

Claire is very competent, I hope she goes on to bigger and better things. I agree, the quality of their podcasts has really slipped. If MM is losing money, it’s their own fault for going for shiny looking stuff over substance. What is with podcasts being filmed? They’re just a poor quality talk show now
