Joe Biden’s latest health scare has sparked a reckoning—and it’s raising big questions about what happens when compassion clashes with a potential cover-up. Also, have we all forgotten something about Tom Cruise... AKA the Last Real Movie Star? We're here to remind you. And in today’s group chat — the woman with heels in her tote, the couple not speaking at dinner, the Strava-obsessed show-off... Be honest. Which woman did you swear you’d never become? Put your best listening ears on because Mia, Jessie and Holly unpack all this—and a whole lot more—on today's show.

Is it fair to want your significant other to 'light up with excitement when you get home'? A seemingly innocent statement from an Australian podcast has unleashed fierce debate online - Mia, Jessie and Holly unpack. Plus, Australian Fashion Week has just wrapped and gosh weren't the designs gorgeous. Just kidding, we have no idea what was actually showcased, but we can offer a detailed explanation on all the influencer drama from behind the scenes. And finally, Taylor Swift has had a week from hell. Between receiving a subpoena, a possible friendship breakdown with Blake Lively and being dragged into a messy Hollywood court case, we're betting her publicist Tree Paine needs a day off.

A very famous woman has talked us through her boob job online, and... it’s spon con. Discount code and all. Is this really what we’re doing now?

The Internet has a new favourite insult: narcissist. But what does it actually mean—and if you’ve found yourself quietly Googling it… should you be worried? Mia, Jessie and Holly discuss on today's show. Plus, it’s one of the biggest celebrity trials in years, and the headlines are already dark. What’s going down in court with P Diddy—and which A-listers might be sweating right now? And, what's an acceptable level of hatred in marriage? One very impressive couple says it’s normal—and even healthy. We unpack the theory that suggests a modicum of dislike might just be the secret to lasting love.

Yes, it only lasts for 24 hours but this year, Mother's Day brought a stark realisation with it: an etiquette guide for the day is way overdue. And on today's ep, Mia, Jessie and Holly happily provide one. Plus, subpoenas and spirals. Taylor Swift has been dragged into the Justin Baldoni v Blake Lively lawsuit, but what does that actually mean? Our hosts break down the legal drama and what's truly at stake. Meanwhile, Justin Bieber's recent behaviour has fans worried. Is this what happens when fame finds you at 12, or is something else going on behind those worrying Instagram posts? And Nick Cave's phone-smashing concert policy. We explore the bizarre reality of performers facing audiences who prefer to film themselves over experiencing the show itself.

Outlouders, we have quite the little treat for your Sunday Special today. It’s been 18 months since Evelyn Jones burst onto our screens in Strife—fictional, yes, but her story couldn’t feel more real to the women who brought her to life. In this special episode of No Filter, host Jessie Stephens— one of Strife's writers and an Executive Editor on Mamamia—is joined by Mia Freedman, Asher Keddie (who plays Evelyn) and Bruna Papandrea (Executive Producer) to reflect on Season 1 and to give us a sneak peek at what’s to come in Season 2. Mia's memoir Work, Strife, Balance inspired the hit Binge series and together, these powerhouse creatives, open up about what it means to be a woman in the media and entertainment industry today—the competition, the comparisons, the fear of cancellation, and the constant balancing act between public and private life. And of course, they talk about ambition: what it costs, why it matters, and how the world still struggles when women dare to want more. Season 2 of Strife is streaming on Binge now.

Today, we're joined by 5 x logie winner and one of Australia's most beloved actresses, Asher Keddie. Asher is usually more reserved when it comes to her private life but it was really refreshing to hear her say that she is feeling more and more comfortable actually speaking about herself and what her motivations and ambitions are, rather than just about the characters she plays. Asher has a reputation of playing complex and layered, strong female characters in shows like ‘Offspring’, ‘Nine Perfect Strangers’ and she’s now back as Evelyn Jones in Season 2 of ‘Strife’, a series inspired by Mia Freedman's memoir Work, Strife, Balance. The show delves into the life of a modern woman juggling the demands of career, motherhood, and personal identity in the digital age. We’ve had quite a lot of conversations on the podcast about the expectations of us to ‘do it all’ and make it look easy and we wanted to speak with Asher today about motherhood and the complexities of juggling her career alongside family life. We spoke about: The ‘actual’ story of how Asher got into acting (and it’s not the narrative that’s circulated) Why Asher chose to stay acting in Australia rather than going to Hollywood or NY The ‘care less’ factor you gain as you get a bit older and feel more confident What drew Asher to Strife Dealing with rejection Whether the ‘expiration date’ of women is shifting Mum guilt and making work decisions with family in mind The evolution in her relationship in the last 14 years Season two of STRIFE is out now on Binge and it’s brilliant!

There are some things that just shouldn't go up a vagina. And no, we’re not just talking deodorants and douches. OF COURSE WE’RE NOT.

Following her Blue Origin space flight fiasco and controversial tour launch, Mia, Jessie and Holly dive into the brutal world of pop star reinvention. And, it's our recommendations.

The world’s true crime podcasters, novelists and documentary makers are all camped out in a small town in Victoria, transfixed by a woman called Erin Patterson. The 'mushroom murders' are all we can talk about. Glennon Doyle can do hard things. But this week, the iconic writer was forced off one of the world’s biggest stages. Why?

Did something big happen on the weekend? Well, yes, you could say that. Ah, but do you mean the historic election result that no-one saw coming? Prince Harry’s remarkably angry interview? Or, perhaps, the online food fight between Nagi Maehashi of Recipe Tin Eats fame and Brooke Bellamy of Brooki's Bakery? SO. MUCH. TO. CHOOSE. FROM.

There’s a four-letter word taking over the internet — it rhymes with munt — and let’s just say it’s dividing the group chat. We’re diving in, side-eyes and all. Then, has personal style officially left the building? Mia and Jessie are joined by Em Vernem to break down the four forces that have turned fashion into chaos.

Michelle Obama has spoken—and she’s not here to please everyone. The former First Lady revealed what it really took to skip Donald Trump’s inauguration, and why sometimes, disappointing people is exactly the right move. Mia, Jessie and Holly explore Michelle's decision and the role of women as 'shock absorbers'. Also, can kids read minds? The hit podcast The Telepathy Tapes thinks so. But the science behind it is looking more complicated. We discuss. Plus, Meghan Markle has shared a surprising part of her bedtime routine—except it’s not for her, won’t be used for years (if ever), and contains a whole lot of admin. And Gwyneth Paltrow is back in the headlines with a twist no one saw coming: she’s eating carbs again. But do we really need to know every time a celebrity changes their lunch order?

But she’s never been on MID. Until now. In this episode, Holly kicks off Season Five with someone who knows her well, and who’s read something very personal—her brand new book, He Would Never.

For one - the teenage girls we were in the 90s are very different than the teenage girls of today. This episode is about writing and ambition. Confidence and self-doubt. Teenage daughters and their teenage selves. It’s a conversation between two women the same age, but at different parenting stages.

Teenage daughters and their teenage selves. It’s a conversation between two women the same age, but at different parenting stages. At the end of this episode, Holly has a very special gift for you - so stick around, you don't want to miss it. You can pre order Holly's book He Would Never here.

When Mamamia co-founder Mia Freedman first hired Jessie Stephens to write for her, she had no idea she had also just hired her eldest son's future wife, and the mother of her first grandchild. That was 10 years ago. Since then, Mia and Jessie have gone on to sit opposite each other as two of the co-hosts of the Mamamia Out Loud podcast and have recently wrapped production on the second season of Strife, the TV drama loosely based on Mia’s memoir, on which Jessie worked as a co-producer and writer and Mia as an executive producer. The mother and daughter-in-law duo sat down with Sarrah in the Something To Talk About studio for their first-ever interview together to talk all things work and family - and whether truth really is stranger than fiction. Strife season two will premiere on BINGE May 8. Watch the full episode with Mia and Jessie here. Something To Talk About is a podcast by Stellar, hosted by Sarrah Le Marquand Find more from Stellar via Instagram @stellarmag or stellarmag.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What happens when a person becomes the brand? Influencer Remi Bader is facing backlash for a personal transformation—and her followers aren’t happy they weren’t part of the journey. We unpack the online pushback and ask: does she actually owe anyone an explanation? Plus, Pope Francis passed away this week. What happens now? We take you inside the mysterious, centuries-old process of choosing the next Pope. Also, with just 10 days until the Australian election, a major issue is being overlooked. In a week filled with devastating headlines about violence against women, we’re asking: what do we really expect from the leaders of our country?

Welcome back to MID Season Five...We have a very special guest. Mia Freedman has been in countless conversations with Holly Wainwright—on mics, off mics, in meetings, in texts. But she’s never been on MID. Until now. In this episode, Holly kicks off Season Five with someone who knows her well, and who’s read something very personal—her brand new book, He Would Never.

Happy Monday, Outlouders — we’ve got a juicy little treat for you. Usually reserved for subscribers, we’re dropping this one into your feed because… well, you deserve it. As the seasons change, so apparently must our entire wardrobes. Again. It’s a lot. In this episode, Mia and Jessie are joined by the glorious Amelia Lester to unpack the pressure to be 'effortlessness'. We’re talking: The ‘I Woke Up Like This’ lie. Nope, your hair did not do that on its own. Why pretending not to try is somehow the most work of all How the effortless aesthetic has crept into fashion, parenting, relationships, work… you name it, it's got to be without a hint of trying. It’s a full-time job to look like you’re not working at anything. And we’re officially over it.

This is an episode about an epic friendship between two women. It transcends marriages, divorce, miscarriage and sex and ends in the most poignant, tragic, beautiful way. When Molly was 41, she was given a life-changing diagnosis. And instead of living out the life she'd built with her husband, she left their 15-year marriage to go and have hot sex with strangers. Dozens of them. And her friend Nikki... what was she to do? Judge her? Encourage her? Support her? Well, they started a podcast together, called Dying For Sex. In this episode, Mia Freedman sits down with Nikki Boyer, actress and podcast host, to discuss her lifelong friendship with Molly, some hilarious sex stories and what happens when you lose your best friend.

'Not quite right' seems to be the feedback for today. Why have six women gone to space in full glam for *checks notes* 11 minutes, only to return to earth and kiss the ground? Side note, why are Kris Jenner and Khloe Kardashian giving interviews about it? We don't remember this episode of The Simpsons. Similarly, why are our politicians dropping diss tracks and is this the new form that election campaigns should take from now on? Can the 2025-2026 budget be released via SoundCloud too? Finally, given the long weekend, we thought we'd leave you with some bonus reccos as a little treat.

An ageing Gen-X bad boy and a queer 21-year-old multi-millionairess locked in a house together. What could possibly go wrong? Quite a lot actually. Many thoughts. We discuss what happened with Jojo Siwa and Mickey Rourke on Celebrity Big Brother. Plus, there were lots of cool people in the desert this weekend, paying $20 AUD for a 'super duper' shower. That's right, it's Coachella season. As always, the fashion is arguably the main festival headliner, and hosts Holly Wainwright, friend of the pod Em Vernem and the legend that is Clare Stephens, define the different levels of cool within this influencer world. And, relationships. What do the top five percent of them have in common and why is it so horrifying to Em? Group therapy is in session.

We discuss a new book that's changing the way we see what's wrong with us.

Old friends. After a spotlight was cast upon the female friendship dynamic in The White Lotus Season 3, we have some thoughts. Are old friendships toxic, or are their sometimes fraught, no BS nature the very thing that makes them the most valuable? Plus, what makes a politician? When Peter Dutton received troubling news minutes before the first Australian Leaders debate, a subsequent discussion emerged. When does a personal crisis trump the requirements of a role and exactly what does it take to be a leader? Finally, astroturfing. No, this doesn't relate to Holly's garden but the manufacturing of public smear campaigns against celebrities, disguised as organic content. Holly, Jessie and friend of the pod Amelia Lester discuss the internet's latest celebrity victim – and what's behind her takedown.

On Out Loud today, we examine the gift that's just dropped in the form of an illuminating new profile on Holly's 'close personal friend' Gwyneth Paltrow. We unpack what Gwynnie reveals about being a female mogul/movie star/sex symbol/cultural icon in 2025. Also, the new Snow White remake with everything – a half a billion dollar budget, feuding co-stars, a hot mess of a press tour – and a casting backlash which feels eerily similar to last year's The Little Mermaid. Plus, the teeth we can't stop talking about: How The White Lotus actress Aimee Lou Wood has chosen to set herself apart by rejecting the face of the celebrity masses.

It was International Women's Day over the weekend and Robbie Katter had some interesting thoughts about the celebration. We unpack his feedback as well as discuss some new research about the split of domestic chores. Plus, we ask the question: what are the unusual things your partner does to 'help' when you're expecting guests? Also, why after a weekend of digesting With Love, Meghan — and some quickles sprinkled with flowers — it’s clear that the royal family made a big mistake. We explain why. And, can someone please explain what SNARF is? We hate to break it to you, but it’s all over your phone and might be the reason you're utterly exhausted.

Hoarding, throwing, selling and Swedish death cleaning—we’re talking about 'stuff' and why what to do with it (or what we don't) goes far deeper than just clearing clutter. In this episode, we discuss why you either love having lots of things around you or not and the reasons why many people (particularly parents) hold onto random objects. We unpack the psychology behind our attachment to certain things and explore how your relationship with stuff can reflect your upbringing. Plus, why has minimalism suddenly become so popular? There's also our recommendations including Oscar movies, prize-winning books and a new makeup hack. Plus, we wrap up the week with out Best & Worst including fashion disasters and a flat phone battery in human form.

Candle-making, flower sprinkles, bee voices and that damned jam we've been waiting for. With Love, Meghan is officially out (and no, Holly can't contain her excitement. We share our honest thoughts on Meghan Markle's (or should we say Meghan Sussex's?) brand-new Netflix home. Plus, a high school has banned mirrors in the kids’ bathrooms. We discuss whether or not that ban should be extended... to the world. And, there’s a cloud hanging over the latest season of Married At First Sight and it’s in the shape of domestic violence. We discuss the ethics of what's going down in front of the camera as well as what's happening behind the scenes of Australia's most watched show.

If you haven’t watched it, you’ve heard about it, if you haven’t heard about it, you felt it in the force on Saturday morning. Yes, we’re sitting down to unpack the viral moments from THAT oval office press conference, with US president Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Plus, why everyone, from reality TV stars to beleaguered celebrities are “speaking their truth” right now. We're asking them to please... stop. And, it’s Oscars' Day. From the drama around the film Emilia Pérez, and why it's lead actress Karla Sofía Gascón ditched the red carpet, to whether or not The Brutalist deserves to win an Oscar... when they admit to using AI.

Outlouders, have you ever wondered what people who don't swear say during sex? Clean dirty talk, if you will. Wonder no more, friends, for we have a list of the most popular phrases to utter mid sexy time if you're not a potty mouth.They're... interesting. And, remember when AI was just a plot device in sci-fi movies with questionable fashion choices? Surprise. Now, the robots have infiltrated every corner of our existence – from grading kids' homework to diagnosing that weird rash you definitely didn't Google at 3am. But as our digital assistants get chattier than our actual colleagues, Jessie's been pondering: are we trading meaningful human connections for the convenience of having a cyber servant handle our admin? And what happens to our relationships when we'd rather text a chatbot than our actual friends? Brace yourselves for Jessie's hot take that might have you side-eyeing your smart speaker. Plus, Mia's new shoes, a beauty product you need to hear about, and the holy grail for picky eaters. And finally, our Best & Worsts of the week include: talking politicians, a boyfriend emergency, and one of us behaving so poorly she's claiming the official title of a "right cow". Moo.

Ruby Franke, the family vlogger mum, is behind bars for child abuse -- but what about her husband Kevin? We dive into the forgotten family member in this disturbing story and ask whether this case should make us rethink how we share our children's lives online. Plus, from Meghan Markle's vision board to the surge in The White Lotus hotel bookings, why is everyone suddenly feeling aspirational? And, everyone’s lonely, but no-one wants to make plans. Why we’re in the Year of the Flake - unless you’re Mia Freedman who's top of the leaderboard for mastering the pre-flake.
