Outlouders, welcome to the third and final instalment of our Summer Book Club where we’re going out strong.

It’s the second episode of our Summer Book Club and this time, we’re diving headfirst into Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry. So then, it was the book that promised joy, mess, meaning and maybe a mild existential spiral — did it deliver?

It’s hot and everyone’s slightly unhinged, so what better time to kick off the Mamamia Out Loud Summer Book Club than with the only novel bold enough to ask: What if you left your family for a road trip and reinvented yourself... in a motel off the freeway? In the first of our Summer Book Club episodes, Em, Jessie and Holly dive into Miranda July’s All Fours, a book that is part midlife crisis, part erotic fever dream and part existential stand-up comedy routine. Em, Jessie and Holly discuss female desire, boredom, creativity and how it’s somehow both deeply relatable and utterly chaotic to want to start afresh on a whim. If you’ve ever: Sat in your car for an five extra minutes just to avoid your family Fantasised about a new life in a different country Or simply wondered, 'What if?' Then yes, this episode of Summer Book Club is for you.Summer Book Club Episode 2 drops December 28 when we'll be discussing the Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry.

In this edition of the Summer History Reading Book Club, Charlie Higson is on a witch hunt.As a woman, if you lived in Scotland in the 1500s, there was a very good chance that you, or someone you knew, would be tried as a witch. Witch hunts ripped through the country for over 150 years, with at least 4,000 accused, and many women's fates sealed by a grizzly execution of strangulation, followed by burning.In their book How to Kill A Witch: A Guide For The Patriarchy writers and podcasters Claire Mitchell, KC, and Zoe Venditozzi, have delved deeply into just why the trials exploded in Scotland to such a degree and with wit, and a sense of outrage, they attempt to inhabit the minds of the, often male, persecutors, revealing the inner workings of exactly why the Patriarchy went to such extraordinary lengths to silence women.

Angela Foster brings practical tips and wisdom to our understanding of the spirits of earth, water, air and fire from Chapter 1 & 2 of Nature Spirits by Rudolf Steiner. She invites us to be active in our striving for perception of these beings, while at the same time asking us to slow down and take a moment to be still and perceive the spiritual realm right beyond the physically perceptible world we live in. Her down to earth advice and deep understanding of Steiner's worldview brings us closer to understanding these elemental beings and their relationships with each other and human beings. Angela and I know that in our time, we can't do this work alone. Thanks for joining us and tuning in! Message your questions and thoughts to my Instagram @laura_scappaticciFind out more about Angela's Six Basic Exercises group at this link.

In this episode of the Summer Reading Book Club, Charlie Higson is looking at a book which explores art history in a unique way.It's called the History of Art in One Sentence: 500 years of art - but funny, written by Verity Babbs. Verity has carved out her own cultural space as an art historian, comedian and presenter. To quote from her website, Verity's work focuses on making the art world more accessible and bringing laughter into cultural spaces. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this edition of Charlie Higson's Summer Reading History Book Club, he looks at the history between England and India.Before the East India Company and before the British Empire, England was an unimportant backwater. Seeking better fortunes, 16th and 17th century merchants ventured to the empire of the mighty Mughals, attempting to sell coarse woollen broadcloth that nobody really wanted.It was a land ruled from the palatial towers by women – the formidable Empress Nur Jahan Begim, the enterprising Queen Mother Maryam al-Zamani, and the intrepid Princess Jahanara Begim. Their collision of worlds helped connect East and West, launching a tempestuous period of globalisation spanning from the Chinese opium trade to the slave trade in the Americas.Joining Charlie to explain this fascinating story is Dr Lubaaba Al-Azami, whose book 'Travellers in the Golden Realm' traces the origins of a relationship between two nations – one outsider and one superpower – whose cultures remain inextricably linked to this day. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Joining Charlie Higson on this edition of the Summer Reading History Book Club is comedian, musician and writer, Al Murray.As well as being the man behind the Pub Landlord, Al is also able, in his own words, to 'bang on' about his love of World War II history for a long time. Which suits us just fine. Al is the author of Watching War Films With My Dad, Command: How the Allies Learned to Win the Second World War, Arnhem, Black Tuesday and Victory '45 - The End Of The War in Eight Surrenders, co-written with his We Have Ways podcast co-host, James Holland.

In this powerful and heartfelt message, Pastor Bruce Aubrey brings a timely word to Star Point Church, exploring the inseparable connection between truth and love through the lens of 2 John. As part of the church's “Summer Book Club” series, Aubrey dives deep into the rich theology of this brief New Testament letter, calling believers to walk faithfully in the truth of God's Word while loving one another with sincerity and obedience. Rooted in the unchanging gospel, this sermon emphasizes the reliability of Scripture, the person of Jesus Christ, and the need for discernment in an age of deception. Pastor Aubrey reminds us that truth without love becomes harsh, and love without truth becomes hollow—but together, they reflect the very heart of God. Whether you're new to the Bible or seasoned in your faith, this message invites you to live more deeply in the grace, truth, and love of Christ.
