‘Maybe you’re not actually trying’. It’s a Substack post that stopped us in our tracks this week, and it’s reframed everything we thought we knew about energy and effort. Mia has just one question that can determine your personality type. Also, can we be saved from 'brain rot'? There are a handful of ways to ‘unrot your brain’ and Jessie is itching to put them to the test. And our recommendations, including a book that is sure to lift you out of a reading slump, a sparkly newsletter to feed your soul, and some brilliant Aussie fiction which Holly loved. Plus, we get a little teary in the studio as Mia shares some personal news.

Sure, she's got great jeans—but actress Sydney Sweeney's latest American Eagle ad has sparked an internet storm involving Nazis, eugenics, and, yes, denim. Mia, Jessie and Holly break down the very weird week Sydney's had and ask: WTAF is going on? Also today: The Aussie Government wants to ban YouTube for under-16s—and even The Wiggles are weighing in. Is it a smart move or a total tech overstep? Scurrilous gossip: Katy Perry is dating a former PM and Pamela Anderson has soft-launched a new man who just happens to be a film star with a tragic past. Two things can be true? We hope so. And we’re introducing you to FAFO—the punk rock cousin of 'Let Them'—and why it might just be your new life motto.

Gwyneth Paltrow has had a big week, and coincidentally, so has Holly. As the new spokesperson for Astronomer, Gwynnie's made waves with a new ad, as well as a surprising body part of hers that's got some recent recognition. Plus, a women-only only app by the name of Tea is causing quite the stir in the dating world. But is it a necessary tool for women or opening an uncomfortable conversation about privacy and anonymity? And, Australia was arguing this weekend about what is actually the hottest Australian song of all time. Mia, Jessie and Holly come prepared with their top 5—as well as some constructive criticism for the list (and each other).

In breaking news, Netflix has released their viewing figures for the shows people are watching and more importantly not watching. And sadly for Holly, With Love, Meghan didn't fare so well—but was it still a success? Plus, Australia is re-learning how to deal with a political leader who is *checks notes* a woman. This week's conundrum is how much detail the people are entitled to know about her and her past. But it might just be the commentary that's problematic. And, Jessica Biel's back broke the internet.

The Coldplay affair has united every corner of the internet. But there's more to the story then meets the eye with strangers profiting, fake statements, and AI generated content. Mia's feeling conflicted to say the least, and she needs to talk about it. And newsflash: Holly's back from her European Grand Tour—and just in the nick of time. An exclusive look at Gwyneth Paltrow: The Biography has dropped with strange details about her early life and career that our Gwyneth correspondent is desperate to fill us in on. Plus, main character energy is ruining our public spaces. People are pooing in public pools and Jessie is demanding more information about it while Holly reports on her firsthand experience with over-tourism in 2025—and how this might all be our new norm.

Nobody has a personality anymore. At least, that's what Em Vernem thinks, and she's not alone. In writer Freya India's Substack Girls, India critiques the diagnostic lense through which we see the world, and it's seriously blown our minds. The Salt Path, a heartbreaking 2018 memoir adapted into a hugely successful movie and marketed as 'unflinchingly true', is making headlines this week. Because the truth seems to have been stretched. So what's with memoirs where 'recollections may vary'? And does it really matter? Plus, Jessie has some heartbreaking news she wants to share. And our recommendations, including the show that held Mia's attention for 10 hours, a stunning novel by a NYT bestseller, and an action movie Em thinks everyone should watch. Recommendations Mia recommends Too Much and Drive to Survive on Netflix. Jessie recommends The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah. Em recommends Head of State on Amazon Prime Video.

There’s a distinct true crime spin on MMOL today. The Outback Killer Bradley Murdoch has died, and after 24 years, he’s taking his secrets to the grave with him. Plus, are we normalising meanness? With shows that scratch our hate-watch itch, Mia, Amelia and Jessie talk about why we're clocking up so much time in front of something we actively dislike. And Jeffrey Epstein’s name is back in the news and being said in the same breath as Donald Trump, missing files, and the unanswered questions that are turning us into conspiracy theorists. It’s all going on, Outlouders. You know what to do

She was the voice of a generation, then she vanished. Now Lena Dunham is back with a Netflix romcom—but where has she been? The creator of Girls disappeared from the spotlight for years, and the story behind her absence is almost more compelling than her comeback. So why did the woman who defined millennial womanhood step away? Mia, Jessie and Amelia Lester discuss on today's show. And if you've been posting less and scrolling more, you're not alone. Women everywhere are retreating from social media, choosing to lurk rather than share. We're exploring why we're all heading towards posting zero—and what it means for how we connect. Plus, scurrilous (royal) gossip: King Charles and Prince Harry's aides held a secret meeting, and everyone's speculating about what went down. Are the palace walls finally cracking?

So today, shorties Mia and Jessie are joined by taller girl Amelia Lester and Mamamia's even taller Deputy Editor Stacey Hicks, to figure out who’s got it worse. Also, why do we need to be so efficient all the darn time? Micro-efficiencies are the new craze and with their increase, it’s our chance to rest our decision-making brains.

Sexuopharmaceuticals. Yes, we had to sound it out too. But behind the tongue-twister is a study that confirms what many couples already know: vaginal dryness + erectile dysfunction = not exactly a recipe for romance. But is that pill really the answer? We unpack the not-so-sexy science that says that sexuopharmaceuticals like Viagra are putting some men out of sync with their female partners. And, C-sections are on the rise—and Amelia, Jessie and Mia have thoughts. Is it a medical trend, a feminist power move, or just the new default setting for birth? Plus, gossip alert: Jennifer Aniston’s rumoured new boyfriend has people talking, Bec Judd’s spilling the tea on her cosmetic tweaks, and Mia throws a surprise question at Jessie and Amelia that stops them in their tracks. And finally, are we witnessing the slow death of university? Parents are being told to stop pushing uni on their kids but what does that mean for jobs, knowledge, expertise? We discuss.

Aidan's throwing rocks at windows (literally), Miranda's found love again, and Charlotte's trying to keep it together — we're halfway through And Just Like That Season 3 and we have SO many feelings. In this bonus episode, we're serving up all our thoughts on the season so far. What's the deal with Carrie and Aidan's messy situationship? Is LTW about to cross a line with her hot editor?

You're a bitch and that's why we lack community. A brutal essay has exposed how we've all become selfish in the name of self-care, and some of us are feeling a little bit attacked. Mia, Jessie and Em Vernem discuss the idea of the small favour economy and why asking your friend for a rise to the airport is more valuable than you realise. Plus, is anyone else feeling increasingly tricked by artificial intelligence? You're not alone. We tell you the sneaky ways even real estate agents are using AI for marketing tactics. And Em Vernem shares her own hilarious experience of being fooled by AI. Also, it's time to 'lock in' and 'crash out'. We explain the new vocab you're about to see everywhere.

Between 27 dresses, 'something borrowed' from the Blue Origin space flight and Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's 200+ closest friends, there's a BIG post wedding debrief needed. They weren't invited but that didn't stop Mia, Jessie and Em V giving full wedding guest vibes on the three-day Venetian extravaganza. And, the Liberal Party is in a world of pain with plenty of suggestions on how to fix it. We weigh into the quota debate that's been raging for more than 30 years. Plus, dating apps are having a tough 2025, and no, people aren't more in love than they were in the past. So, where are the hopeful lovebirds placing their efforts?

What better way to start the weekend than with this episode of Parenting Out Loud? Because if parents are thinking about it, we're talking about it. On the show today, Jessie Stephens and Amelia Lester are joined by friend of the pod, and Mamamia's Deputy Editor, Stacey Hicks, to chat all things:

The most inflammatory podcast of the year just dropped, and guess what? It looks like feminists have a lot to answer for. Mia, Jessie and Holly discuss the furore on today's show. Also, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s recent outfits have started a conversation about ‘date night dressing’, and whether we should take a page out of their very fancy book. Plus, Jessie would like to make it clear that her puffy face is no one's business. The internet is OBSESSED with ‘lowering cortisol’, but do we all just need to touch some grass instead? And our recommendations of the week, including a new season of Mia’s favourite Netflix documentary, Holly’s book of the week, and Jessie’s very exciting sister news.

Jameela Jamil is breaking up with women journalists via Substack. After too many burnouts and betrayals, the actress and activist is done. But is this really the group chat exit we think it is? Mia, Jessie and Holly have thoughts. Plus, there's a mahoosive marriage taking place in Venice this week and friends, people are protesting. It's Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez whose nuptials are getting flack and their wedding extravaganza is everything you’d expect: 27 dresses, three days of events, multiple protests, and a juicy affair that started it all. We've got the full rundown — from the super yacht to the guest list. Also on today’s show: you've heard of 'Let Them' and if you came to our live show, you might have heard our blunt alternative. But what about... 'Who says?' Who says you can’t wear that crop top? Who says those pants aren’t it? (Well, Mia... apparently. But ignore that.)

Saturday treat time, Outlouders. A brand new episode of Parenting Out Loud just landed, and we’re dropping it here for you to enjoy too. In this episode, Jessie Stephens and Amelia Lester dive into:

Sarah Jessica Parker has spent decades as Carrie Bradshaw, but here’s the twist: she’s never actually watched herself do any of it. Not the sex, not the shopping, not even the typing. So is it the ultimate act of self-care, or just a lil bit lazy? Plus, everyone’s talking about texting less—until they’re the ones left on read. We unpack the modern crisis of communication overload, from parenting to work to friendships, and why it’s never as simple as just putting your phone down. If you thought podcasts were just for your ears, think again. Vodcasts are taking over and we feel… conflicted about it. Are you sick of our faces yet? We certainly are. And our recommendations, including a documentary on Jessie’s roman empire, Holly’s 1923 binge, and Mia’s new comfort TV show.

There's a standout star on Duchess Meghan’s latest long-form interview, but surprise... it's not Megs. Enter one Emma Grede: Skims co-founder, Shark Tank guest judge, and the new archetype of the modern girl boss. While Meghan’s business advice is a little on the fluffy side, Emma’s empire—from shapewear to podcasts to philanthropic pledges—has Mia exhausted. Meanwhile, Holly is bringing Etsy witches back with a dark update. What happens when your Etsy witch dies mid-spell? It happened and the buyer of this magical intervention isn't happy. Plus, someone returns from therapy with two anxiety hacks that might just change your life... or at least put your performance anxiety on hiatus for a while.

Questions from the weekend: What's an 11A? Why is America protesting kings? And what took Sir David Beckham so long? Mia, Jessie, and Em Vernem are here with the answers. Plus, Sabrina Carpenter drops her new album cover—and the internet loses its mind. Is it DV glamour porn? Subversive satire? Or just a PR play we’ve seen before?
