It's a celebration of hot wives, sex tips only for married women, natural contraception and “nap time friendly careers”. Welcome to the new movement of ‘Conservative Cosmo’ media brands. We explain the emergence of Evie and why we're seeing a growth in conservative women's mags right now.

Plus, we share our recommendations including a very funny TV show, an instant Australian classic and the most perfect audiobook experience imaginable.

And, Jessie's very terrible week, Brent is cutting Holly's grass and Mia met her people. It's best and worst.

Also... we share some unsolicited wombat facts.
