First 90 secondsHolly Wainwright· Host0:00
[upbeat music] Hello, and welcome to Mamamia Out Loud. It's what women are talking about on Monday, the 25th of May. I'm Holly Wainwright.
Claire Stephens· Host0:09
I'm Claire Stephens.
Amelia Lester· Host0:10
I'm Amelia Lester.
Claire Stephens· Host0:12
And- We had a big weekend, didn't we? Holly, we did. We, um, were keeping some pretty, uh, pretty incredible company over the weekend.
Holly Wainwright· Host0:21
You had lunch on Friday with Jacinda Ardern.
Claire Stephens· Host0:23
Yeah.
Amelia Lester· Host0:23
Can you tell me everything?
Claire Stephens· Host0:24
Yeah. So, um, so we'll go chronologically, 'cause Holly's is more exciting, but, um, but mine did happen earlier in the day. [laughs] So, uh, on Friday, I was at a lunch for my wonderful publisher, Allen & Unwin, because the author Lily King, who wrote Heart the Lover, which a lot of Out Louders, um, have read, because I think Jess and I both recommended it to death. Um, so she was in Australia for Sydney Writers' Festival, and it was a lunch for her, and Jacinda Ardern is a fan of Lily King.
Amelia Lester· Host0:53
Oh, wow.
Claire Stephens· Host0:54
So she just happened to be at this lunch. But I said to her, like, "I'm pregnant and I'm in my sloppy era."
Amelia Lester· Host1:00
You probably didn't need to tell her that.
Claire Stephens· Host1:01
I know. [laughs] She's like, "Honey, I can see." But I was like, "I can't believe you ran a country when you were this."
Amelia Lester· Host1:07
What did she say?
Claire Stephens· Host1:08
She said, she was like, "Well, you wouldn't do it if you didn't have to."
Holly Wainwright· Host1:11
[laughs] Well, I know how Holly met her, because I went to see Holly interview Jacinda Ardern.
Claire Stephens· Host1:15
Holly, I've stolen everything. I interviewed Jacinda on Friday night at the Town Hall, Sydney Town Hall. It was, it was great. I was really nervous, really nervous, 'cause this is the thing, right? We're Jacinda fan girls. I'm on the record as being a Jacinda fan girl. Not everybody is. In
