Mamamia Out Loud

After revealing she failed the bar exam, Kim Kardashian's new legal drama All's Fair has also been panned by critics as the worst TV show to ever exist. So, when you’re one of the most successful women in the world, what does it feel like to fail? And do we all need to embrace the humour in our own ‘flop’ eras? And, the New York Times asked a very simple question: Did women ruin the workplace? The Internet had a lot of thoughts, and we’re here to dissect them. Plus, can you be friends with someone who has a very different political view to you? For many young people, the answer is increasingly no. And, with celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence choosing to keep their politics to themselves, we unpack whether revealing your political leaning is becoming a no-go zone.

How do you tell your teenage influencer that their lucrative side-hustle is about to become illegal? On today's show Holly, Jessie and Em discuss the Aussie family of Youtubers who've decided to leave the country to beat the looming social media ban. Also, in this age of full disclosure, why is there one kind of sex that we absolutely do not talk about? And is that silence a mark of respect, or a doing disservice to long-term relationships? Plus, what is a Compliment Hour and why do I need a Rage Ritual? Em is sharing some trending life hacks for all of us. And Jessie has an update about her twins. Were her instincts spot on, or did she (and our tarot card reader) get some stuff wrong? Support independent women's media Recommendations Em is all about Chad Powers on Disney +.

So there's a young, handsome man who's suddenly all over our feeds. Some people say he's going to save America. Others say he's just a very good example of how charisma is the only thing that matters in a politician for the digital age. All we want to know about Zohran Mamdani is: What does he want from us? Also, Reese Witherspoon says the reason we're so bad at dating these days is because we're not watching rom-coms any more. Jessie, Amelia and Holly unpack some of the helpful dating tips they've got from rom-coms and ask: Were we really better at talking to each other in the Sweet Home Alabama era? And, 'smellmaxxing' and its unknowable limits. Now that your average 14-year-old boy has his own 'fragrance wardrobe' and we've all very much accepted that we stink, it was only a matter of time until there was a deodorant for everywhere, including 'down there'. But... do any of us remember what a human smells like any more? Support independent women's media What To Listen To Next: Listen to our latest episode: Uh Oh, Harry & Meghan.

The royal formerly known as "Prince" Andrew is only Andrew now. In what's being called 'the greatest crisis the royal family has faced in 100 years', the King has banished his brother after the distress and noise around his behaviour finally became too loud for even the insulated royals to ignore. So what now? Will it shut down critics and accusers, or just open the flood gates? Also, is it just plain embarrassing to admit to having a boyfriend now? The most viral essay of the past week says YES, so why's that? And: the politics of a pair of untethered breasts. Why Sydney Sweeney's new version of the naked dress has everyone confused.

Hey Outlouders! For this week's Sunday Special, we're dropping an exclusive episode of our sister podcast Well into your feed, featuring Australia's golden girl, Tammy Hembrow. Tune in for her first-ever detailed public discussion about her melanoma diagnosis... When you build your brand on the sun-kissed Gold Coast lifestyle, in some ways, the sun is your business partner. For global icon and fitness entrepreneur Tammy Hembrow, spending her life at the beach without ever wearing sunscreen was the norm. She thought she “never burned” and was convinced she was “immune” to the dangers of the sun. At 28, that all changed. A tiny, harmless-looking freckle on the back of her leg led to a shocking melanoma diagnosis. In this raw and honest interview, Tammy Hembrow sits down with Claire Murphy and shares her story of the skin cancer diagnosis that blindsided her. She reveals how she cancelled her skin check appointment "about five times" before her assistant finally made her go, the shock of learning the freckle was melanoma, and the surprising reality of the surgery that left a large "permanent reminder" on her leg. Tammy opens up about the "rebellious" teenage attitude that made her ignore her dad's advice, and her new perspective on tanning, and the message she’s desperate to share with the millions of young people who follow her. This is a powerful wake-up call about the real, and often hidden, dangers of Australia's sun-loving culture. Love what you hear?

It's news-free Friday so unpacking Buckingham Palace's announcement about Prince Andrew (let's make that just plain Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, shall we?) will have to wait until Monday when rest assured we'll be going in deep. In the meantime...Our Em’s had enough of men playing it cool. On today's episode of MMOL, she’s responding to the Outlouders feedback on her dating life and officially campaigning for less nonchalance and more chalant male energy — attentive, enthusiastic, maybe even a little whisper this keen. And things that have tickled our fancy. We’re rawdogging boredom, dissecting the rise of the Hybrid Rockstar (Hyrox, anyone?), and spotlighting the Halloween comment that officially finished us all off.

Are celebrities oversharing about their splits? Nicole Kidman's keeping it classic - sending us subliminal messages through clothes (see: revenge dress). Lily Allen is being extremely 2025 by putting her Notes-app confessions to music. But why are we being kept so clearly in the loop of some very private business? Welcome to a slightly unhinged conspiracy theory about the strategic advantage of spilling divorce tea and yes, it involves real estate. Also, is cutting out friendships the ultimate life hack? Some of the trad wives certainly think so, saying they've given birth to and married the only friends they need. And there are some Australian workplaces having some particularly awkward meetings today - the schools that set the wrong subject for the HSC exam, and... the BOM. What colour is drizzle, anyway? Plus, some scurrilous gossip about a chaotic new couple. On today's show, Jessie Stephens, Holly Wainwright and Amelia Lester unpack it all.

Season 2 of Nobody Wants This has finally dropped — but one of our hosts is far too distracted by Kristen Bell’s latest Instagram post to care.

Lily Allen’s new album is a gloriously messy post-divorce confessional — a world away from the Gwyneth Paltrow school of conscious uncoupling.

So, Amelia Lester and Claire Murphy join our royal correspondent Holly Wainwright to try understand - why now? Plus, does high fashion actually hate women? From a dress that looks more like a cocoon, to an ensemble that includes a mask covering Kim Kardashian's entire face and a corset so tight your body actually spills out of it, it begs the question, who exactly is buying it?

Victoria Beckham’s new docu-series has landed, and while it teases bombshells, it mostly confirms what we thought we already knew. Amelia, Jessie and Holly dive into the nostalgia, the PR spin, and what we really learnt that made watching so uncomfortable.. Plus, Princess Kate Middleton has published an essay underlining our worst fears, that mobile phones are bad for us. But this isn't exactly new information, so why has it ruffled our feathers so much? Plus, comedian Julia Morris is calling for women-only seating on flights. Is it about safety, comfort—or something bigger? We open up the debate. And in the ‘things we didn’t expect to care about’ category: why not making your bed might actually be good for you, Jessie learns dust mites are not, in fact, akin to butterflies plus, the pelvic floor tip that’s weirdly simple—and weirdly effective.

There's a new celebrity boyfriend doing the rounds and everyone from Jennifer Aniston to Princess Martha Louise of Norway (a royal rebel if ever there was one) are here to confirm that the spiritual-softboi era is officially here. Holly has a precise theory as to why. And Jessie poses a provocative question to both Holly and Mamamia's Editor, Stacey Hicks: is anti-natalism (aka choosing not to have kids for ethical reasons) gaining traction for a reason? Plus, we've had 'job hopping' and 'quiet quitting' but it's 'job hugging' that's the latest workplace trend — and no, it's not as cosy as it sounds.

If we could give Jennifer Lopez one tip: not every ex needs a friendship arc. Looking at you, Ben Affleck. Some things — like red carpets and rekindled flings — are better left in the early 2000s.

Jessie’s been deep in internet sleuth mode and she’s ready to explain why the Swiftie outrage might actually be legit. And finally: WTF is klarnamaxxing?

Hey Outlouders! For this week's Sunday special, we're dropping an episode of our sister podcast Well into your feed - because we know you'll love this conversation as much as we do. We're talking all things peri and menopause. Does your endometriosis put you at a higher risk of early menopause? Did a pig castrator really perform the first-ever C-section? And if you've had a hysterectomy, do you still need to see a gynaecologist? On this episode of Well Claire Murphy chats to Professor Susan Davis, a founder of Jean Hailes for Women's Health and past president of the Australasian Menopause Society, to find out what's fact and what's fiction when it comes to the science of perimenopause. They unravel common myths, including “disappearing labia” and talk about why some things you're being sold on social media - like weighted vests and special supplements - may not be as miraculous as they might seem. Plus, talk about the latest research on delaying the onset of menopause and why it might not be a good idea for everybody. THE END BITS All your health information is in the Well Hub.

Breast Pump Ban: It may sound like a headline from another era — but it happened to Dr Elise Turner this week in Melbourne when the mum of twins was told to leave an airport lounge for daring to express milk for her babies. But there’s one crucial detail that most of us missed and which Mia, Jessie and Amelia needed to dig deep into on today's show. And, an update on Bruce Willis’ condition from his wife in her confronting new memoir that hits home for anyone touched by dementia. Jessie shares her personal experience and unpacks the backlash Emma Heming Willis is getting online for the decisions she's making on behalf of her celebrity husband. Plus, Births, Deaths & Marriages. Mia’s got a new segment and a lot to say. From celebrity babies to red carpet chaos, she’s tying it all together… loosely, but entertainingly. Is it an excuse to (scurrilously) gossip about celebrities? Absolutely it is. Does she seamlessly segue into a controversial red carpet analysis? Of course she does. We also cover Trump: The Dibber Dobber and the 17 household habits that will clear mental clutter as much as they will your kitchen bench tops. Light and shade, friends. Light and shade.

But, if you like it (how could you not) make sure to keep listening in the Parenting Out Loud feed where eps will continue to drop EVERY. SATURDAY.

Plus, tracking apps are everywhere, but do children have a right to privacy and what are they actually teaching our kids? And, there’s a case to be made for having kids younger. We’re not going to make that case, but we’re certainly going to talk about it. And why Anne Hathaway is proving again and again that she's THE gentle parent. Settle in and welcome to the group chat you won't want to mute. Plus, it’s our recommendations:

Three Out Loud hosts, one tarot card reader, and our unfiltered reactions. What could go wrong? Outlouders, this is an episode we have been looking forward to. Also, we’re not just reading our futures — Holly unpacks the vulnerable and heartfelt revelations in Liz Gilbert’s new book, including her self-proclaimed 'love addiction'. So why does Jessie find some of her observations feel kind of familiar? The wild but true high school catfish doco that floored Jessie; Holly and her good friend Meghan enjoy a taste of Spain; plus some X-rated bread making.

And, welcome to The Great Lock In. It's your chance to put the last remaining months before the New Year to good use. But a certain Stacey Hicks confesses she would much prefer to Lock Out instead. So, why do all our goals suddenly feel urgent, and what's a lazy gewl to do when everyone's obsessed with self-optimisation?

Outlouders, it's that time of the week again. Parenting Out Loud is back in your ears to start your weekend right. Each week, Monique Bowley, Amelia Lester and Stacey Hicks unpack the zeitgeist through the unique lens of being a parent. On today's show: Father’s Day is tomorrow and there's been a distinct shift in its marketing. Amelia unpacks what’s changed and why. Bluey: adorable? Absolutely. But is this the kids' TV show that's also making us feel… bad? Welcome to the Bluey Inadequacy Complex. Monz explains all. Plus, ❤️

It all started with a Google Doc. Half of you—like Holly—are going to love it. The other half? Yeah, maybe not so much. But stick with us, because this isn’t just admin—it’s a document your loved ones will thank you for one day. We've made it easy for you by including a link to it below. Download or... ignore. And, Amelia’s latest internet obsession takes us deep into the world of weddings of the super rich. Think: Croesus, filthy rich, LOADED. Yes, we're saying hello to Becca Bloom and discussing the rise of Rich-Tok. What does a 'status wedding' actually cost—and why can’t we look away? Plus, your weekly reccos:

For 48 hours, the internet swore Donald Trump was dead. He’s not—but the rumours about the President's health aren’t going anywhere. Amelia’s got three clues to explain why this is one conspiracy that just won't die. Then, why are we all so bloody rude? A new report shows retail workers are copping it worse than ever, and we’ve got a theory. And, the Balmoral Test: the royals’ bizarre initiation ritual for new family members.

Donald Trump, the world’s “greatest dealmaker” (his words), has somehow managed to walk away from Vladimir Putin with... not a lot so far in his bid to end the war in Ukraine. And that's despite Melania's handwritten 'letter of peace' to the Russian leader. Then there's a red carpet cameo and a secret backseat meeting. Amelia Lester is here to explain all. Plus, comedian Matt Rife has been cancelled… again. This time, it’s thanks to an e.l.f. cosmetics ad campaign that proves there is such a thing as bad publicity. And Taylor and Travis: he plays the role of the goofy himbo, she’s the sensible mastermind. Their New Heights interview has us asking—should you always be the smarter one in your relationship?
