Plus, Jessie unpacks the rise of the "thoughtfluencer" and how easy it is to appear to be an expert online. While it makes information a lot more accessible, we question if you can trust anything you’re reading.

Fri, 18 Sep 2026 - 1772 - A Big-Dog Podcast Fight & Mia Can’t Stop Crying
Taylor Swift is hanging out with her wedding guest Tom Cruise at a football game and we want to know who's got more to gain from those optics.
You've heard about the Hyrox athlete who, um, soiled herself mid comp but went on to win. There are lots of memes. But we’re asking a different question: would you do the same for the prize money of $21k?
Today's a big day for Mia, as you'll hear as she struggles to get through our conversation about kids. And why did the advice to 'act like a drunk person falling downstairs' change Jessie's parenting?
Plus Karl Stefanovic’s podcast is M.I.A and he and his business partner are in court. Mia has some thoughts about why running a media business is harder than it looks.

Wed, 16 Sep 2026 - 1770 - Sydney Sweeney Knows Exactly What She's Doing & The 'Paperclip' Theory
We're being told AI could end humanity, which is a lot for a Monday. But don’t worry, Sydney Sweeney is here to tell us how much she loves sports!
There’s a skit going viral about Harry and Meghan that has people divided on whether it’s a little bit funny or a little bit mean.
An AI researcher quit his job last week and told us that the people building this stuff genuinely believe it could kill us all within the decade. Amelia explains what the whistleblowers are calling for and why "just regulate it" might not be the easy fix everyone assumes.
Plus Holly's making the case for 'hopepunk' - why choosing hope right now might be the most rebellious thing you can do. Borrowing from Caitlin Moran and Nick Cave, we explore how you can actually change anything in a world this broken, and why giving up isn't an option.
Also, Sydney Sweeney's new ad for a sports betting app has her straddling a basketball hoop naked, and it has united female athletes around the world. They’re furious. We unpack why women in sport feel it’s pushed us backwards and whether the ad is doing exactly what it was designed to do.Get access to Very Peri, Mamamia's exclusive perimenopause series, for just $59. 25 world-leading experts, over 20 on-demand sessions, available now.

Mon, 14 Sep 2026 - 1769 - Why We All Quit Therapy & When The Internet Says ‘Leave Him’
Are Aussies anti bush? Not the former president, the bikini kind. A viral essay asked why nobody blinked when a writer wore hers to the beach, and Em wants to know whether Australia is culturally anti-bush while America is having a big bush renaissance (a bush-enaissance if you allow).
Would you post about it if your partner killed the family pet? A well-known content creator told her 1.8 million followers that her husband had killed the injured bird they were nursing back to health, and the internet unanimously said the same thing: leave him. But is it actually that simple, or is there a difference between the line you'd draw with your partner and the line you'd draw with a friend?
Plus, one of the biggest names on the internet has just quietly ended a show she's been running for 12 years, and Em thinks she's stopped too soon.
And therapy is over-rated! Why none of us are having it at the moment and what we’re doing instead.

Why would a woman about to go to jail invite a controversial documentary maker into her home for a month? Jessie unpacks the Elizabeth Holmes news.

Among the tributes to a legend, one Gloria Steinem quote is landing hard for a generation of millennial women. So, Holly wants to discuss, are we still “living the unlived lives of our mothers?” or do we now almost envy the lives they got to lead?
Plus, Jessie wants to tell us about a $800 toothbrush with its own onboard camera and an AI opinion about your gums, and she is worryingly into it.
And, Amelia has watched Netflix's new Raygun documentary and wants to know if you can actually have TOO much self belief?
Plus: The Australian sporting moment you can’t watch without crying. And, the much-discussed US murder trial of LIndsay Clancy has been declared a mistrial. What happens now?

Jai Arrow had just welcomed his daughter when he noticed something strange with his arm. Feminist icon Gloria Steinem has died, aged 92.THE END BITS:

Mon, 07 Sep 2026 - 1765 - NO FILTER: "I Went to a Really Dark Place": Jessie Stephens on the Six Months Nobody Saw
Jessie Stephens, co-host of Mamamia Out Loud and bestselling author, sits down with Kate Langbroek for a completely candid conversation about the last six months of her life. Ten weeks early, on the day she finished up for maternity leave, Jessie gave birth to twins Margot and Harry, while at home raising her toddler daughter, Luna.
Jessie opens up about something she's never spoken about publicly before, a moment in NICU when she found herself in what she describes as "a really dark place." She also talks about growing up an identical twin, falling for her now husband Luca while they worked together, and building a marriage and family and a career when it's all intertwined.
Jessie will be back on Mamamia Out Loud in September.

Fri, 04 Sep 2026 - 1763 - The Lindsay Clancy Frenzy & Holly’s Surprising Harry Take
Outside a Massachusetts courtroom, women have travelled across the country to hold signs that read "she needed help". Jessie Stephens unpacks forensic fandom — the internet's habit of working a real trial as if it’s a season of Lost — and why those signs might not be about Lindsay Clancy at all.
Plus, Holly Wainwright is back from holidaying in Harry and Meghan’s new home and has a surprising (for her) new take.
Also, Married at First Sight is reportedly going sober, drastically cutting its alcohol rules after a series of scandals. Jessie has thoughts about whether a show built on a hand grenade survives without one.
And, Olivia Rodrigo is our crush and pin-up in a week when we need heroes, and why men are cutting off their eyelashes for a really dumb reason.

Plus, would you have a baby for $75,000? Singapore is offering new parents a huge cash incentive to tackle its declining birth rate.
And is the humble ‘pop-in’ officially cancelled? Is turning up at someone’s house unannounced rude or even, controversial?

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 - 1758 - The Swans Aftermath Unpacked & WTF Harry And Meghan?
The Sydney Swans scandal has left fans devastated, but what does it mean for a club that built its identity around being progressive, inclusive and different from other sporting codes? Mia Freedman, Em Vernem and Amelia Lester unpack the fallout and why so many female fans feel betrayed by a team they thought was a safe place to belong.
Plus, Harry and Meghan are moving back to the UK... but why? Our royal correspondent Holly Wainwright dials in to tell us what’s really behind their return, from family reconciliation to Meghan’s career and Harry’s relationship with his home country.
And Nicole Kidman reveals she’s either at a small dinner party or a rave and honestly, we have questions.

Would you go topless in front of your dad? Mia Freedman puts the question to Outlouders after one Sports Illustrated model — and Baywatch reboot star — does exactly that on a family holiday, and the internet has a lot to say.
Plus, Amelia Lester unpacks the celebrity couple everyone's obsessed with right now, and asks why some couples radiate real chemistry while others can't fake it no matter how much red-carpet PDA they throw at us.
Also, Emily Vernem is skipping the cleanse and doing a clog instead — she'll explain exactly what that means.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the youngest woman in Congress. And Trump is terrified of her. 'I never thought I'd freeze my eggs. But here I am, crying in my kitchen with a needle in my hand.' Another of Brad Pitt's children has filed to drop the Pitt name. Angelina Jolie's response says it all. This week, two daughters have dropped their famous fathers' last names.

The Kardashians throw parties like it's their job, but Kylie Jenner's 29th birthday party looked like it came straight out of a 9-year-old's dreams — except with latex included.
Martha Stewart, 82, has decided she has nothing left to lose — and she's just dropped a dinner-party detail about Meghan Markle that's sent Meghan's camp into full, frantic damage control.
Plus, Holly delivers the verdict on Ted Lasso's return — and it is not good news for anyone hoping for a season 1 comeback.

Outlouders, enjoy this free taster of Mia Freedman, Holly Wainwright & Emily Vernem on our subscriber-only episode. You can listen to the full conversation here: "Emma Grede Disease" & The Trap For Female Founders
There's finally a name for the "Emma Grede-ification" of female founders, and it's "Emma Grede Disease" — the expectation that women don't just run a business, they have to perform running one. Private jets. Book deals. A personal brand polished to a mirror shine.
Holly has a theory on who's actually earned that aesthetic — and who's skipping straight to the penthouse without building the fifteen years underneath it.
Plus, why this persona has never quite worked in Australia.

And, Rachel Cusk's new novel reads suspiciously like the life of her friend Natalie Portman — and neither of them is commenting.
The theme remained the same: nobody asked for any of this.

Australia has lost four women and girls this week, allegedly at the hands of men. The actions of one judge have given us a tiny glimmer of hope.

Outlouders, enjoy this free taster of Mia Freedman, Holly Wainwright & Emily Vernem on our subscriber-only episode. You can listen to the full conversation here: Goodbye Sam, WTF Charlize & One Very Messy Celebrity Split
Like many Outlouders, we were shocked and saddened by the sudden passing of beloved Kiwi-Aussie movie star Sam Neill. We reflect on the loss, his career, and how he effortlessly won over a whole new generation.
Plus, images of Charlize Theron on the red carpet of a premiere in Paris prompted an immediate, collective response. It has sparked a necessary conversation about body dysmorphia in midlife, shifting beauty standards, and why remaining youthfully thin into your 50s has become the ultimate high-status trap.
And, the celebrity breakup that has us absolutely reeling: Jack Antonoff and Margaret Qualley are officially over. How does a relationship fall apart just six weeks after a highly publicised podcast tour declaring your marriage your absolute safe space? We unpack the rumours of a messy co-star affair, the volatile reality behind the scenes, and why it is so much harder to delete a love song than an Instagram post.

So Out Loud host Clare Stephens has had her baby boy, and no, she didn’t take up any of Em’s name suggestions but yes, she has called into the show from the hospital with a birth update.
Also, for a while there they were Australia’s Beckhams. Now the next generation of Hewitts - Lleyton and Bec’s kids - are… playing at Wimbledon?
Lena Dunham has shaken off Famesickess to master the comeback. But what does that have to do with Jack Antonoff’s recent split?
Where is Taylor’s wedding dress? There’s a theory, and it’s around the number 13. Also, the silliest husband in the world did not RSVP to his family invite.
People are paying to get together and… do absolutely nothing.
And, yes, Prince Harry went over to his Dad’s for a historic cup of tea..

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 - 1729 - SUBS FREE TASTER: Harry’s Trauma Response & Breastfeeding At 49
Outlouders, enjoy this free taster of Mia Freedman, Holly Wainwright & Emily Vernem on our subscriber-only episode. You can listen to the full conversation here: Harry’s Trauma Response & Breastfeeding At 49
It is a big day of scurrilous gossip on today's subscriber episode as Mia, Holly, and Em try to understand why our favourite celebrities simply refuse to stop doing things.
First up, as Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wrap up their honeymoon, the media has pivot-scrolled to their massive, allegedly 40-page prenup. We unpack the rumoured 40-page blueprint designed to bulletproof Taylor's multi-billion dollar empire, and why young couples are suddenly completely obsessed with the "postnup."
Plus, the absolute storm of chaos surrounding Prince Harry's trip to London has just taken its messiest turn yet with a brutal, peak-petty Buckingham Palace RSVP rejection that has us questioning what is really going on behind the scenes.
And, Australian actress Melissa George just dropped a surprise photo casually breastfeeding her newborn child at a Paris cafe at 49 years old. We discuss.

If you’re looking for the Taylor wedding debrief you’re in the wrong place. That’s in the special Emergency episode we dropped this morning, so scroll back, or click here.
Here, we unpack Prince William’s appearance on a very brotherly podcast, and Harry’s latest U-turn on his trip home.
Also - is 18 too young to carry a nation’s football hopes? Protective mums and former footballers say yes. Lucas Herrington says no.
And, Albo made a mess of a classic gotcha game while trying to stay relevant on a podcast. Kylie Minogue isn’t always the answer.

Mon, 06 Jul 2026 - 1727 - Emergency Meeting: Taylor Wedding Debrief With Holly & Mia
The wedding has happened!! ...Or did it happen weeks ago?
Holly and Mia sit down for an emergency meeting to unpack the biggest celebrity wedding in years: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
From the guest list of 1,000 to the very short list of people who weren't invited (and why) The Madison Square Garden of it all, the NDAs and wedding favours. And when are we finally going to see the dress? Mia has a theory - and it's a good one.
They also discuss the couple's huge charitable donations, the carefully controlled rollout, and why Taylor remains the undisputed master of giving us just enough.
Because beneath all the celebrity spectacle, the secrecy and the hype, this really is a love story.
All that and more in this emergency episode.What To Listen To Next:

Em grew up watching this woman live her life online - and now she’s gone. Why and how and what does it mean?
Is it okay for older women to “perve” at younger men? One writer says yes, and also that there needs to be a new name for it.Also, what people in the front row and concerts are really doing in their pants and why pop stars have had enough of it.
Clare has a message for Outlouders on her last show before her baby boy arrives. And it made her cry a little bit. Holly has a very, very weird little show for you, and Em wants you to get behind the return of the dragons.

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 - 1724 - FREE SUBS TASTER: “Emotional Blackmail” An Update On Harry’s Visit Home
Outlouders, enjoy this free taster of Mia Freedman, Holly Wainwright & Emily Vernem on our subscriber-only episode. You can listen to the full conversation: “Emotional Blackmail” An Update On Harry’s Visit Home
The royal reunion we've all been following might not happen after all.
Prince Harry and Meghan were reportedly planning to bring the kids to the UK for the first time in four years, but now the trip is in doubt after Harry's request for police protection was denied. Is this the latest chapter in the royal rift, or a completely reasonable decision from parents trying to protect their children?
Plus, Alex Cooper has finally responded to the allegations surrounding her media company, Unwell. It raises a familiar question: when the controversy centres on a man, why does the woman so often end up carrying the public fallout?
And Mia Freedman has some hard-earned advice for Alex about surviving life as a woman running a media company.

Friends, did you wake up to the news that Today host Karl Stefanovic had been sacked from Nine?SAME.
And was our group chat pinging? OF COURSE.
Which can only mean one thing, Outlouders. An emergency meeting just had to happen.

Look at why that interview on Karl's podcast with Far Right UK activist Tommy Robinson was the final straw for Nine.Ask if a 'canceled' host can still win a Logie?
Examine the rise of the Independent Bro-Empire.
What do you think, Outlouders? Has Karl played this perfectly? Or is this a spectacular own goal? Let us know your thoughts in the Outlouders Facebook Group.

Wed, 10 Jun 2026 - 1710 - LITTLE TREAT: What We Wish We'd Never Written On The Internet
Outlouders, we’ve unlocked an exclusive subscriber episode for your long weekend listening pleasure. You're welcome.
Remember when oversharing on the internet was a thing?
The era of the ‘personal essay’ was a time when people poured their messy insides out for the world to read. Except now those stories are frozen in time. Forever. And the oversharing hangover is real.
SUBSCRIBE to Mamamia and never miss a word of Out Loud. Plus get access to every story and our exercise app, MOVE.
Mia, Holly and Em are unpacking the sometimes brutal backlash of ‘going viral’ over a deeply personal moment and the slightly awkward nightmare of your family and friends reading about your business online.
So, is the personal essay dead – or have we all just moved to Substack? And, should some of those literal journal entries actually just stay in the drafts? Mia has thoughts.

Mon, 25 May 2026 - 1701 - SUNDAY SPECIAL: Unleashed. The Podcast For Women Who Need A Laugh.
Outlouders, today for a Sunday Special we're dropping an episode of our sister podcast Unleashed into your feed... It's a little bit rogue, just like us and we think you're going to love it. You're welcome.
Grace heard someone breaking into her apartment, grabbed a tennis racket, lowered her voice and screamed through the door in her mouth guard. It was not, in fact, a burglar. Mary has had it with people saying 'I Love You'. We disagree (and we love Mary, very much). Cath confesses that she dreads holidays since her divorce. Bruna lives with lupus and wakes up in pain every single day, and almost no one knows. And Grace had nits for four days and genuinely thought it was perimenopause. And the songs that changed us. Whether sitting on a school bus, lying in a delivery room, or chasing David Bowie down a street in New York, it's a lot. It's everything. It's Unleashed.
In your ears today: Grace Lam, Mary Coustas, Bruna Papandrea and Cath Mahoney.The End Bits:

Wed, 20 May 2026 - 1697 - Kylie Minogue & The 'Dog Years' Relationship Theory
The world has just discovered Delta Goodrem, and the world has questions.
The world also has some queries about what a 'two-bob watch' is, and why that term might be used about a disruptive passenger on an Aussie flight.
SUBSCRIBE here:Support independent women's media
Also, suddenly everything that is bad for us is good again. The culture would have us believe that smoking is back, red meat is a health food, partying til dawn is aspirational and tanning beds are a nice lie-down. So what’s all this nonsense about, and why the great wellness vibe shift?
And, Kylie Minogue got asked who the love of her life was. And her answer has given rise to a new dating theory - the 'Dog Years' relationship.
Oh, and… should you chuck out your toothbrush when you get sick? Amelia’s husband has thoughts.

If you, like us, are obsessed with Lena Dunham's latest book Famesick, we're here for you with this special episode. You're welcome.
The Girls creator who became the ‘voice of a generation’ is back with a second memoir and Mia, Holly, Amelia and Em are discussing why the world is finally ready to hear her side of the story. From the heights of toxic fame to the depths of chronic illness, her relationship with Jack Antonoff and highly publicised falling-out with showrunner Jenni Konner-we're unpacking it all.
Plus, did her parents save her from the darker side of fame or did they actually stop her from ever growing up? We have thoughts.
Whether you’re rewatching Girls for the tenth time or you’re reading her memoir like a novel, this is the conversation you’ve been waiting for.

Wed, 13 May 2026 - 1692 - How To Be Liked By Absolutely Everyone
Popular culture has decided that men wearing ‘slutty little shorts’ might be the only way to combat global anxiety. From Harry Styles’ new video to Taron Egerton’s psycho dance to the $120 million ad starring Chalamet & Bunny, we’re not mad, just curious.
Speaking of anxiety, a political earthquake just hit regional Australia, and every sitting politician is currently doing a little nervous wee. Yes, we’re unpacking the 30-year-coming rise of Pauline Hanson’s One Nation.
Support independent women's media - SUBSCRIBE HERESome people think a 30-minute journey only takes 15, and it turns out there is a very specific name for people who live with this brand of chaos: ‘time optimists’. Holly and Clare identify, but is being a ‘time optimist’ a sign of a positive outlook or are you just, as punctual Amelia hints, just a lil’ bit selfish?
And: People who are liked by everyone are all good at one specific thing. Here’s how to fake it.

AUTO GENERATED TRANSCRIPT:Speaker 1: Hello and welcome to Mamma Mia out Loud. It's what women are actually talking about on Wednesday, sixth of May. I'm Holly Wainwright and the first thing I'm going to do, the first order of business, very simple out louder is if you love your show, please vote for us in the upcoming Australian Audio Awards as a People's Choice category. It's really straightforward. We're going to put a link in the show notes, We're probably going to put it on social We're going to put it everywhere. We would love your support to help us get there. That is the end of my manifesto for the day.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I just would like to say as a lazy girl that there are all these things to fill out.
Speaker 3: You only have to fill us out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't have to do everything is just tick Mama Mia out Loud.
Speaker 3: So important for the lazy girls out there, and as as a bossy girl, I just concur with Holly. I know you can make that ask of people, and I think that's a great step towards greet our self assertive.
Speaker 1: I'm growing, I'm growing, Amelia Growing. I'm Amelia Lester and I'm Claire Stephen and here's what's made our agenda for today. So now that it's all over and many damning text messages scatter the ruins of what was the biggest celebrity story for a couple of years, Just who did win in the whole? Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni court case drama.
Speaker 3: Plus Cameron Diaz is a mother again at fifty three, and Holly has some thoughts.
Speaker 2: And veteran broadcaster James Valentine filmed the last year of his life for the ABC, and between a living wake and his openness around voluntary assisted dying, he's opened a conversation around what it means to die a good death.
Speaker 1: But first, Amelia Lester, the Mecgala.
Speaker 3: Did it feel different this year? A lot of people said that it did. Amy Odell, a fashion writer, wrote in her background newsletter that the Metgala was all money, no soul, and she wasn't alone in this criticism. Basically, people are saying that because Jeff Bezos and his wife Lauren Sanchez Bezos sponsored the event, it just started to feel a little craven, a little gross, and less fun than it used to be. So there were a lot of protests in New York. In the lead up to the event, they were all centered around Amazon's labor practices, its environmental damage. And then there are those who say, no, that's not true. The mech color's always been about rich people giving their money towards a good cause, which is the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute. And look, they did raise a lot of money on Monday night. The Bezos has bought the event for about ten million dollars, but then the event itself raised about forty one million. This is US dollars, which is a lot for this event. It's apparently kind of record breaking. So are we just complaining about nothing, Holly? Do you feel like celebrities stayed away? Did they agree that this was a sort of off event this year?
Speaker 1: So I'm going to give you a list of the celebrities who people say boycotted, because none of the people so far who everyone is saying has boycott had actually verbalized that they were boycott.
Speaker 3: Well, we are boycotted, which we just had to take a stand because.
Speaker 1: I do feel a little bit like what soul when you said it's all money those salt like, I do feel a bit that I don't think this is the first year. It has been pointed out in the culture, particularly since trump Ism and all those things, that this feels very hunger games. Yes, yes, and I know although there's a more direct link here, you know, with the Bezos is buying it. I do feel like Jeff sort of bought it for Lauren as a gift, which is a nice gift. Nice, but it feels more avert. So anyway, let's look at this because when I was watching it on Tuesday and then I did a subscriber episode with me as straight afterwards, I was like, well, all the celebrities are there, like Beyonce's there. All the famous people I was expecting to be there were there.
Speaker 2: Well, actually a lot of famous feom we didn't expect to be there were there.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And then it was pointed out to me who was not Billie Eilish. Now that tracks because she doesn't like billionaires, and she remembers she gave a speech a while ago where she said, you lot give more of your money away. So I don't think she would have been either welcome or willing to go, because Jeff might have worried that she was going to shake him down in the bathroom to share more of his money. Zoe Saldana, she is somebody who is usually there. She was not there. She is almost as rich as the billionaires. She is an unbelievably well paid actress because of her Marvel and Avatar connections. So Zoe's at home count of dollars. Olivia Rodrigo that tracks too. She is political, That would not be surprising. She's in the middle of an album promo, so you might have usually expected her to be there. Lady Gaga an interesting one because she could have been expected to be there because she's in The Devil Wears prior of Too and the rest of the Well. Meryl wasn't there, but Meryl never goes, so that's not surprising. But Anne Hath the way Emily Blunt Stanley Tucci were all there.
Speaker 2: Stanley Tucci with Emily blount sister, it's always fun.
Speaker 1: So maybe Gaga, but also she's kind of said lately that she's going to focus on promoting things she wants to promote rather than just being around. Lewis Hamilton come on, like he's literally dating Kim Kardashian, who's extremely bezos adjacent. I don't think that was a political.
Speaker 3: Let's get to the big guns. Some were missing, right, some who we might have realized. Sarah Jessica Parker.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so, Sarah Jessica I reckon. That is probably I would say that's almost definitely a boycott. But she went to support Anna at a dinner, but she didn't.
Speaker 3: Go to the There was a dinner on the weekend before the gala. It probably would have been more fun.
Speaker 1: Anyways, she said anything, No, she hasn't, but she I think she was in support of the New New York mayor. Right, And obviously he didn't go, but then I wouldn't have expected him to go, and he did post about it. They posted a series of let's sell a the real heroes of fashion and you know, celebrated workers behind the scenes and particular designers and things. So yes, so Sarah Jessica Parker I reckon could be a boycott. But then they're saying, you know, j Lo, I don't think Jalo was boycotting. I just think she's tired.
Speaker 3: Harry Styles.
Speaker 1: Harry Styles is in the middle of record of rehearsing for his tour. He's in a studio in bethnal Green running through it. Not that I've been stalking him. Justin Bieber, he's just done Coachella. Boy needs to lie down. Miley Taylor Swift, she never goes, and I don't think she's so. I think that some of the boycott cots are not boy I.
Speaker 3: Think that's right. But it's interesting that some of the tech billionaires it clearly got to them a little bit. So it's interesting that Jeff did not walk the red carpet with Lauren. That's very unusual. They do everything together. We've learned this from various pieces about them and Lauren's dress being very boring. Do we think that was intentional.
Speaker 1: A little bit understated for Lauren, Yeah, but I think it was had a very specific art reference. It was the same dress as someone called Madame X and it's like scandalous women.
Speaker 3: Yep. It's interesting though, because Jeff did walk the carpet in twenty thirteen when Amazon sponsored the event. There was no outrage back then when Amazon sponsored the event and he walked with Mackenzie then Mackenzie Bezos his wife at the time. Mark Zuckerberg also made his Met Gala debut with his wife, Priscilla Chan, and they also didn't walk the red carpet, which I thought was interesting because it's kind of like, well, you want to be at the glamorous event, but you don't want the attention of being there.
Speaker 1: Do you think they might have been encouraged not to.
Speaker 3: I don't think anyone encourages Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos to do anything would have worked exactly. But there were some tech willionaires who did walk the carpet. Google founder Sergei Brinn. He showed up on the red carpet with his girlfriend. Her name is Gaylyn Gilbert Soto. The New York Times describes her as a con conservative gut health influencer.
Speaker 1: That is one of the six job title Claire.
Speaker 3: Do you think that there's something inherently conservative about gut health?
Speaker 2: Yeah, because gut health is very don't take antibiotics and don't take antibiotics is very That's what it's.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, which used to be a sort of crunchy hippie vibe, but these days has come back around it.
Speaker 3: I thought it was just you know, drink your com your chart, but no, it means it can.
Speaker 2: Be very I feel like there's it's a short road from like gut health gut health to to anti vacs. Don't ever give your children antibiotics with my sour crow.
Speaker 3: And of course I'm AROUNDA was there. I just have to add she was there with Snapchat founder Evanstein on the carpet, of course.
Speaker 1: Possibly the biggest gun that I haven't mentioned though, is Zendaya. She does always go. Usually she didn't go, and that read like a boycott. And some people are saying, if your boycotting, say you're boycotting. I don't think so necessarily. You don't want to necessarily make everything about your politics. But I just have one question. I think that big charity galas of all types have always been, have always reflected the moment therein and they've always been a path to accessing status in a particular society. Watch the Gilded Age, It's all about that.
Speaker 3: And Nixon notably said that she thought it was great that the mayor didn't go.
Speaker 1: Yes, but like you know, you're reflecting the time. So you're going a big gala ball is the way you get all the fancy people together. This being a tech bro billionaire ball is very reflective of the moment we're living in, right, So is it surprising in any way in the nineteen eighties New York society. It was all about glitz and flash and Donald Trump, and now we're like again, I don't know. I kind of feel like, what did we expect to happen?
Speaker 3: No, that's right, But I think that the group that people are most angry at it's not the people who went in their pretty dresses. It's not the people who didn't go and stay quiet about it. It's the people who went but then tried to have their cake and eat it too. See.
Speaker 2: I'm not as frustrated about this because Sarah Paulson is getting a hole at a crap because she wore a dress that then and then had a blindfold that was a dollar bill, and it was people like it's making a statement about about like eating the rich.
Speaker 3: Well, she herself said that it was a statement about the one.
Speaker 2: Besides yes, and and I thought that was like a far swing. But the dress is actually called like the one percent by the artist, the designer who designed it, and the mask was called blinded by Money, and it was a statement on greed and corruption that comes with extreme power. I think it's a little bit unfair to look at her and say, well, you've got a net worth of twelve million dollars at which how does anyone calculate anyone's net worth on the internet? But you have a net worth of that you're at this event, how dare you then make a protest when it's like, well, isn't that exactly how how you do it?
Speaker 3: Don't you go in? And well, people do have a history of using that platform. So Alexandra Ocazio Cortez, who is a Democratic congresswoman from New York, famously wore a dress on the Megala red carpet a couple of years ago which said tax the rich. But people actually have the same criticism for her. To your point, Holly, the met Gala in some corners has always been seen as a kind of repulsive show of excess and decadence, and she got a lot of aoc got a lot of flak for even attending the event back then, reading the canapasey while saying.
Speaker 1: You guys are discussing while Charlie free directions.
Speaker 2: But if you're not there, you don't have a microphone to say anything about the event, do you know? Well, I guess you do. I guess like Vende could opposed to something on Instagram.
Speaker 3: If you want Zendaya not going definitely took the air out of the room when that announcement came out, And I guess it wasn't an announcement so much as a news update. Everyone kind of went, that's big. When Zendeia's not there, it's big.
Speaker 2: Because she's always one of the coolest on the carpet. Does something really original, remember that, like bloody light up dress and she.
Speaker 3: Oh, but there was a bathroom selfie. Some things always stay the same, right, and you saw this by Yes, it's always an iconic bathroom selfie. It's always the thing you want to look for. And there was an amazing one that had you know, the Margo Robbie all the people in it. But one of the things that was most striking about that And so I saw that in the wild last night and I was like, why is there an exceptionally beautiful woman in the middle of that who is wearing a quarter zip sweatshirt? I was like, was she at that party?
Speaker 1: And then it's having a lot of headlines today because she is actually a very famous model.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I actually love the story behind this. Her name is Bavitha Mandava and she that what she wore was a quarterzip jumper essentially and what looked like jeans. It turns out they weren't just any jeans. The jeans were made with silk muslin and had a blue denim effect. My jeans today have a blue denim effect. And it's a very important iconic look because she opened Chanell's show in December, which was on the New York City Subway, wearing essentially that outfit, and the fashion world lost their mind. That show was like considered extremely groundbreaking, and she was the first Indian model to open a Chanel show and she is now the first South Asian ambassador for Chanel. And incidentally, did you notice that Margot Robbie, who was also Chanel ambassador, It was right next to her in that photo. So Chanell must have been just so happy about the whole thing.
Speaker 1: I know, but it just she just looked so out of place.
Speaker 3: But that's what made it so good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I was like wandered into the shop. But she also read all about it and I was amazing. Yet she didn't have to have a bubble machine boobs.
Speaker 3: And then that look that she wore on the Chanel catwalk was actually a nod in turn to how she was discovered. I love this so much. She was a grad student m YU and she was discovered on the New York City subway waiting for a train. One would imagine probably wearing a similar outfit to the one she is now wearing in a much more fabulous incarnation at the metgala.
Speaker 1: But you were obsessed with another red carpet walk.
Speaker 2: Yes, because I am a basic bitch. If, like I swear, if there was like a thermometer for like, what's what does the basic bitch think about anything that's happening in the world right now? It comes over me and it's like bing bing bing bing bing because I saw the red carpet photos of Hugh Jackman in Suton Foster and I think I was sitting opposite you and Holly and I.
Speaker 3: Said, oh oh, was like I don't and I'm like, howm my.
Speaker 1: Here has it been?
Speaker 3: Now? Not that many at least well he was.
Speaker 2: Hugh Jackman was on the Red carpet with Debory Furnace in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 3: My group chats are very divided on this. Some love the two of them together and some are talking about deb Prowley.
Speaker 1: Do you have to not debut your relationship after a divorce five years, ten years? What do we want?
Speaker 2: There are no rules, but I am allowed to go oh poor deb Oh, no, I hate that I am allowed. And then the tabloids, because again I'm a basic bitch. The tabloids were like, hey, basic bitches, We've made up a story for you. So there are sources in Inverata commas who say that Debrale Furnace was a huge fan of the event and the decision to bring Sutton Foster was a final blow to deb And what I didn't realize when I went really deep on this was some Foster's wearing a ring, like they think that you proposed in January and they think they're going to have some trend in your wedding.
Speaker 1: And is that all are not allowed? He's not allowed to marry again, not ever, not ever.
Speaker 3: I I don't know about that.
Speaker 1: How do you know that, Deborah Lee Furness. This is what I don't like about this narrative is it victimizes a woman who maybe is totally done with that, you know what I mean. She obviously she made up some statements that made it clear she was not happy when that relationship broke down, But again three years ago, so now she might be living her absolute best life. Thank god I don't have to go to the met gala with that guy.
Speaker 3: She disagrees politically too. We don't know anything about it, like she was kind of famously a conservative political voice because he is the godparent of Rupert Murdock and Wendy Dang's children. Also, he's very close with Avanka Trump. So no one was surprised to see Hugh at the s

It's all Harry Styles’ fault that the 'taxi cab theory' is everywhere you look. His engagement has everyone debating whether finding 'the one' is a matter of fate, or as Sex And The City’s Miranda Hobbes told us, all about timing? We do not agree.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is officially massive. So, is it good? Why did it almost make Amelia Lester cry and why do some Americans just not 'get' our Aussie love interest Patrick Brammall?

AUTO GENERATED TRANSCRIPT:
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Mama Mia. Out loud, It's what women are actually talking about on Monday, May the fourth. I'm Hollywayen right, I'm Clays Stephen, I'm Amelia Lester, and here's what's on our agenda for today. The taxiicab relationship theory gets an update thanks to my close personal friend Harry Styles.Speaker 2: Plus dispatches from the Worst Dressed list ahead of the met Gala tomorrow, and a lister shares what it was like to be mocked over her fashion choices for a decade.
Speaker 3: And the Devil West product is absolutely everywhere right now, so we unpack why, and we also talk about the fact that Meryl Streep, who must be the most celebrated actress of all time, apparently didn't discover her worth until she was fifty six.
Speaker 1: In case she missed it, though out loud as speaking of knowing your worth, we are pulling on our big girl pants and asking you for a favor.
Speaker 3: You have to know, if you're listening to this, that Holly is so uncomfortable right now to just go with us.
Speaker 1: To still like asking for this. I don't like asking, okay, But there's this thing called the Australian Audio Awards. It's like like the Oscars or the Emmys of the logos, except it's not but for people who speak into microphones like us, right, and we're up for some awards this year and we need your help to win them. So if you love love, love out loud, and we know that lots of out louders do, and you listen all the time, and you think you know what those those women need. They need some public accolades, Yeah, some affirmation.
Speaker 2: Think you think you know what I'd like to see. I'd like to see them dress up in some frocks, you get on a stage and make a speech.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but particularly you class evens, I would like to see you do that. The very pregnantness you will be when this event occurs, very high heel, great, and you're in your flop here you keep telling us, so maybe you'll be really indiscreet and just get up there and say something rude. Yeah, anyway, we digress. Tell the out louders how they can help.
Speaker 2: Okay, So basically these Audio Awards, you go there's a link that will put in the show notes and you can vote for There's two things and sorry, you can vote anyway that you got.
Speaker 1: We're not voting, you know, we've got suggestions.
Speaker 2: In our interests. We like you to vote for best Podcast Producer Ruth to Vine, Mummy are Out Loud, and Best Society and Culture Podcast Mummy.
Speaker 4: Because we are society high society, and we are very we're so cultured.
Speaker 2: And we do. The thing is we pretend to be cool, but we really like awards.
Speaker 4: And I think that's what people think of when they think of you and me. They're just like, we're.
Speaker 1: Too cool for school.
Speaker 2: And meanwhile we're like, we rely on achievement for something. But it would be funny. I think. So the podcast Awards the end of this month, right the twenty eight. I believe I would like to win this award. While Jesse's on Matt lead, I think.
Speaker 1: You want to just wade right into that weird Steven's Sister dynamic. Just get into the weird Twin stuff. Come in and help. I think there's a people's choice too, So anyway, like just vote for us, vote for wherever you get to vote for us, and we would love it. We can't bribe you with anything except our affection. Yeah, yeah, anyway, shall we get on with the friends over to you, Amelia Lester, I'm up.
Speaker 3: Well, it's been hard to escape the Devil Wears prior to of, like, really has it has been everywhere?
Speaker 4: I kind of felt like bullied into going to see it.
Speaker 1: I feel like Merril's chasing us down with that red pitchfork. She's like, literally, go theater on and look.
Speaker 4: It's done really well.
Speaker 3: It's done better than anyone expected at the box office over the weekend. I'm going to tell you what the critics said. They basically liked it, and then I want to know what you thought, Holly Claire. I know you haven't seen it yet. Yeah, the critics praised it. They said it was glamorous, they said it was wishy, They said it was the fun we need right now. They called it a millennial nostalgia bath. I love a millennial nostalgia brath. Look, some did question the whole premise of updating a movie that came out twenty years ago. Someone wrote it's less a follow up than a tribute at the satire apparently didn't bite so hard.
Speaker 4: Holy. What I want to know.
Speaker 3: Is did this movie live up to the marketing height machine for you?
Speaker 1: I don't want to be a debbie down of it. No, I went to see it with my sixteen year old daughter, and that was really interesting because the absolute enormous generation gap there in terms of so this is a magazine. Once upon a time, magazine editors were considered very important and influential. She's like, this was a job everybody wanted. That was a lot of groundwork being laid there with my daughter. And look, I'm not allergic to a nostalgia bath. I like that. I mean I back in the day, I was first in line for the Sex and the City movie like I was.
Speaker 4: And the vibes were similar.
Speaker 1: And even though as we know, that run of movies ended up disappointing us bitterly, in that first movie, I remember the excitement of seeing those women on screen again and being in the movie theater and seeing them walk down the street and like the audience was kind of like, yeah, there's a girl, and we're back in that world. And I think the Devil Wears Prada nostalgia is similar in that these were great characters who've entered, you know, our culture in lots of different ways. Miranda Priestley and Andy Sex and Emily Blunt's character Emily is just heaven. So I understand that wanting to jump back into that, but they've had to give it quite a cynical update to reflect where media culture is now, and so it ends up to me feeling like quite a negative, like it's not and to be honest, the Sex and the City movie was a bit like this too. I remember they were grappling at the time of the financial crisis and so they were like, this cushion costs two hundred and fifty dollars, and lots of the critics were like, who are these women and why are they spending that money? And this feels a bit like that, and that we're supposed to all be lolling and laughing along while they're telling us our media has been hollowed out, billionaires run everything.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Am I being a bit too cynical? No?
Speaker 4: I think you're right.
Speaker 3: When I went to see it, I went to see it with two friends and they both turned to me at the end and said, are you all right? Because I kind of feel on the verge of tears and didn't Nicki Gammel, Yes.
Speaker 1: I saw a review from Nicki Gammel in The Australian where she said, she cried, And she didn't cry because the plot line was really touching it. She cried because of what it was saying. Yea journalism, which is obviously not everybody's industry and they don't care. But if it is yours, you have this kind of affection for it, and this does not dress that up.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 3: And what's interesting is Lauren Weisberger, who wrote who wrote the book, The Devil was Prida a piece for Vogue dot Com on the occasion of this movie coming out about what her life has been like after that book came out. Now, that book was not seen particularly favorably when it came out. People criticize the bad writing. It was kind of seen as a little bit mean, a little bit throwaway, and then that first movie kind of gave the book a bit more of a sheene than it had on first publication. Now, Lauren Weisberger has done great for herself. She apparently announces in this article that she now lives on a boat in a remote part of the Bahamas, which is good for me. Absolutely sounds difficult to get your mail there, but other than that sounds delightful. But her article reminded me that her book was first and foremost about a bad boss. Yes, that's what people loved about it because everyone, practically everyone has been in a work situation where they felt oppressed underappreciated, and everyone could relate to that kind of idea that when you're young, you want to make your mark on the world, but older people kind of are trying to push you down, or that's what it feels like. So everyone knows what it feels like to be young and underappreciated, but the new movie is so far removed from that idea of bad bosses and bad workplaces as it feels alien to.
Speaker 1: It's also funny because the bad Boss, Miranda Priestley, obviously became a cultural hero, so much so that Anna Wintour, who she's famously based on, kind of kept her distance very much from the first movie, but now is entirely in on it. She's appearing in all the promo. There's a lot of partnerships between Vogue and this movie, so she's accepted that. But there are a couple of nods in the movie to how times have changed in that now Miranda Priestley isn't allowed to just throw her coat at people anymore, and she has someone who sits next to on the meetings and says things like you can't say that all the time, as if there has been like a woke update, if you like. And that feels a bit funny, But you're right, it was everybody related to this idea that these people are monsters like glamour.
Speaker 6: Like.
Speaker 1: The idea was that, you know, the Miranda Priestley was kind of a glamorous monster who you got to see a little bit of the humanity of. But by this movie, we're all supposed to be rooting for her, unquestionably.
Speaker 2: Because I think even if that was the kind of premise of the book, in the first movie, you're very much you're looking at Miranda Priestley, but you're also it's obvious that she's an icon and that it's Andy's character arc to kind of fight against that, not that there's something inherently wrong with Miranda. So so I'm interested to see in the second in the second one, whether, yeah, what the stakes are then if there's none of that tension. But as much as you say it was depressing, am I like because I'm going to go see it. I like a film that isn't good.
Speaker 1: I don't know what you mean, but for me it felt and look, I'm not no spoilers here. And you do get lots of fashion montages, you get lots of a fashion show montages. You get you know, they're walking in a different coat every two minutes, there's music, there's celebrities everywhere like this. It delivers all that, okay, but it just for me, it felt kind of a bit empty. And basically the steaks are which billionaire is going to get to own this business? Which was kind of the stakes the first time around two is like will Miranda get to keep a job? And it kind of feels like I don't know if I care about that. But Patrick Brammel, isn't it Remember last Wednesday we were all giddy on the show because he was here and we bumped into him in the offices. He wasn't here to see us, sadly, he was here to be interviewed by the amazing Kate Langbrook for No Filter, and that episode's out today.
Speaker 2: I have purely been absorbed being vibes so far online and I think you guys are pretty spot on with the vibe of people. People I've seen they're like, yeah, yep, fun But Patrick Brammel. I'm obsessed. I'm obsessed with him and Harriet Dyer, who's his wife. They co wrote, co starred in Colin from Accounts, and now he's.
Speaker 4: Maybe one of the funniest TV shows ever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and now he's in a bloody Hollywood movie with Anne Hathaway. Is he hot? Is he car like? What's the what's the go? Is there? Is there?
Speaker 4: Bare? So I want to.
Speaker 3: Say the outset that I love Patrick Bramore and I think he's so good in this movie. And to me he was a highlight. He was he was just so he gets to play an Australian. So you might remember in the first movie, Andy Sack's love interest is also played by an Australian, Simon Baker, my personal friend has discussed on the show, but he has to put on an American accent, whereas in this one, in recognition of the fact that there are a lot of Australians in New York these days, he gets to play an Australian. So I loved it, But then I started to hear the rumors that his part has really been cut down. People observed that it felt a little underdeveloped, and I.
Speaker 4: Was surprised to read that.
Speaker 3: A lot of the reviews felt there was zero chemistry between him and Anne Hathaway. Oh.
Speaker 1: I didn't feel that necessarily, But what I did fit I knew that his part had been cut. And the reason I knew this is because when we first found out about Patrick Brammle, there lots of pap of him and Anne Hathwayne. She's wearing this particularly incredible sort of bluey purple sequin slithery dress that's just like oh, and she was like spinning around a lamp post and it looked like she was tipsy, and he was holding her back and this kind of stuff. That whole sequence is not in the film, so it obviously has been cut back a lot.
Speaker 3: Boy, I love your forensic knowledge of this so bad.
Speaker 1: I did spy on that. But I think one of the reasons why he plays such a small part because basically he's the love interesting Again, no spoilers about whether or not that works out, But this movie is about girl bosses. Even though girl bosses are out of fashion now, this movie is ultimately about that. It's about Andy's ambition, It's about Miranda's ambition. They sort of talk a lot about how much they love work, and they're the partners are all a bit beta and a bit like not relevant.
Speaker 3: Including by the way, Meryl Streeps, who was played by Kenneth Branner. Yes, and the reviews also commented that that didn't work for them either. So maybe just the writing around these boyfriends and husbands felt hollow because that's not where the interests lay.
Speaker 1: But isn't it funny because we used to critique girlfriend roles, you know in movies. We'd be like, oh, the so and so actress, she just has to play the girlfriend. Not no character development, right, no particular complex characteristics or backstory. They're just the girlfriend. And I feel like this and so maybe this is progress. This is one of those movies where there are just the boyfriend roles.
Speaker 4: So it's just like true sort of.
Speaker 1: Middle aged guy. Well, I don't know whether Patrick Brewmle will qualify as middle age whatever, like nice enough age appropriate guy of name recognition is in this person's life, but we don't really care about them.
Speaker 2: There is one person who is pretty convinced that there was chemistry between Anne Hathaway and Patrick Brammel, and it is Patrick Brammle's wife, Harriet Dyer. She I lulled so hard at this. She has uploaded this Instagram video where the caption is trust No One, and she is filming her TV as her daughter stands in front of it, and Patrick's on a red carpet and he is asked by the interviewer about Anne Hathaway, and he says, playing someone who falls in love with Anne Hathaway. Tough gig, tough gig, and he looks straight at the camera, and then the interviewer says, the world's most beautiful person according to People Magazine and everybody in here, and he says, and me too. Andy rewinds it and plays that again and then switches a camera to her and she's like what, And she's got her glasses on and just sitting at home, and then she interspersed it with all this footage of like when you propose to her their wedding.
Speaker 4: Apparently they got engaged five days after he proposed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yea, yeah, they got married five days up.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: It was like, so they've had this beautiful love story in him reading Newborn books and being miscored and hath the way talking about how gorgeous and joyful he is, and it's just so good But a great part that Amelia directed me to is that so ninety nine percent of the comments from Australians absolutely get it. That they're like, yeah, this is funny because like whose husband ends.
Speaker 4: Up in Hollywood?
Speaker 2: Blod faster. But there are a few Americans who are like, oh no, this is this isn't right.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, there's a distinct portion of the comments that are like I don't understand what's happening here, or like check on your husband, or like just completely missing the point. And I have reason to believe, in part from the spelling of said comments that they may be from Americans. There's a suspicious lack of us in words like coloring. And that got me thinking as to why Patrick Bramle, who I thought worked so well in the movie, had evidently been cut down. And I wonder if it's just because he is allowed to play such a quintessentially Australian part in it. He is very laconic, he's very understated, he's got that very kind of irony seeped Australian wit about him, and maybe it just didn't play very well in a movie that's actually not very irony drench.
Speaker 1: That's true. I just have to mention one more thing, because I think Mia would throw something at my head if I didn't. Twenty years have passed between these movies. Tw

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 - 1684 - The Family Ritual That Has Us Divided
It’s a public holiday Monday for some, but because we love you, we’re not leaving you high and dry. We’ve picked a conversation straight from the Outlouders Facebook group that had everyone unpacking their own family dynamics: the dreaded – or in some cases beloved – family group chat.
Holly, Clare and Em are diving into a dilemma from an Outlouder who has implemented a ‘new regime’ called The Sunday Roast. The rules? Every Sunday, every family member must text their weekly highs and lows along with three photos. No explanations needed, but follow-up questions are mandatory.
So, is this a beautiful way to keep the family connected, or an administrative nightmare that makes you want to tap out?
Plus, we have some bonus reccos and things we can't stop thinking about including micro-holidays, ‘Monthly 10s’ by Julianna Salguero and Nagi’s Miso Eggplant recipe. You’re welcome.

Sun, 26 Apr 2026 - 1683 - The Most Brutally Honest Questionnaire We've Ever Seen
It took the deliciously unhinged creative genius of Miranda July to invent a dating questionnaire that asks the questions no one else is brave enough to ask. Forget your height or if you like 'long walks on the beach'; Em is looking at the prompts that actually reveal your soul, like a photo of your bookshelves, your messy bed, or a screenshot of your ex describing you via text. So, what would you ask, to really get to know someone? And is the secret to finding love just showing someone the inside of your fridge?
There’s a name for that 'meh' feeling you have after a day at work: Office air. Thanks to a smart TikTok creator, Clare has finally figured out why we all look like 'sick Victorian children' by the time the clock strikes five.
Meanwhile, Nicole Kidman is currently on a promo circuit, but she isn't talking about her latest film. Instead, she’s opening up about her desire to become a death doula after the devastating loss of her mother. So Holly’s asking: What is a death doula? Why don’t work and caring and basically, life, stop for you to deal with losing a loved one? And how do we get better at understanding that the loss of a parent - even at an age deemed ‘appropriate’ - is often completely unmooring.
And finally, according to Vogue, nobody’s getting their nails done any more.

Fri, 24 Apr 2026 - 1682 - When A Crappy Husband Makes A Great TV Show
First, a rundown of the scurrilous gossip you missed while you were actually working: Sydney Sweeney’s cameo’s been cut from The Devil Wears Prada 2, Harry Styles is either engaged or ring-baiting us and Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton have hard-launched with a pap-frolic.
In other business, why is Reese Witherspoon suddenly telling all her followers to use AI? Is this a genuine attempt to close the gender tech-gap, or is Reese just the friendliest face the robots could recruit to crack Gen X?
In other business, we might be witnessing the most effective character-assassination comeback in history. While Lily Allen is currently touring an album that provides a literal receipt-by-receipt rundown of her marriage breakdown — complete with props explaining David Harbour’s alleged infidelity — her ex is busy being the most lovable man on TV in DTF St. Louis. Holly asks if playing someone lovable is the best way to rehabilitate an actor’s bad reputation? Let’s ask Noah Wyle and Adam Driver.
What can one of the world’s richest women (by marriage) tell us about happiness? No, please don’t throw your phone, Clare’s all ears for Lauren Sanchez Bezos’s gratitude tips.
And finally, we need to talk about the absolute tailspin that occurs when a Gen Z coworker compliments an older coworker’s outfit. Is it genuine praise, or a calculated power move? Amelia’s diving into millennial fashion anxiety and why a simple 'I love your jeans' can feel like a personal attack.

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 - 1681 - Your Boss's Unpopular Opinion & It's Taurus Season
Madonna crashed Sabrina Carpenter’s Coachella stage and it took the crowd a minute to realise they were in the presence of an(other) icon. Luckily, Madge had a bonus skill up her sleeve: An astrology lecture about Taurus season.
Holly Wainwright brings a few little nuggets that slipped out of Meghan Duchess’s fancy Sydney event on the weekend, including a new theme song.
Also, Kardashian whisperer and multi-millionaire businesswoman Emma Grede says remote work is a 'career killer' for women. She reckons if you aren’t seen, you aren’t getting promoted. Is flexibility actually costing women their next big move, or allowing women to do their dream jobs in the first place? Amelia Lester has a story about the presentee boss from hell.
In other business, we’re diving into the dark world of 'looksmaxxing' after an influencer’s viral breakdown. From 'bone-smashing' to dangerous supplements, why are young men falling for a happiness formula that clearly isn't working?
And the debate that won't die: Should teachers be banned from social media? Over the weekend a viral post asking whether educators should also be influencers has taken over Clare Stephens's algorithm.

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 - 1680 - A Fight About Who’s Allowed To Have A Crush
Is having a crush the secret to a happy relationship, or the gateway drug to a ruinous affair? We can’t agree. Meanwhile, comedian Nikki Glaser says that sexual cheating is a turn-on and emotional cheating is a no-no. Who’s right, who’s deluded, and who should just be single, according to Emily Vernem?
Plus, enthusiasm for hobbies is at an-all time high, but why does it feel like men get all the good ones, while women get the leftovers of leisure? Holly Wainwright talks about her life-changing gardening habit, but acknowledges it’s first to go when life gets busy. So what’s an untouchable 'Sovereign Hobby', and how do we get one?
And, there is an unofficial list of things women do to look like they have their shit together, and it involves everything from keeping whites white, to having enough coathangers, to knowing what stock is. Clare Stephens just wishes she could remember the snacks.
TV RECCOS SPECIAL
Clare’s watching: DTF St. Louison HBO Max. A dark, nonlinear comedy about a love triangle, a dating app for married people, and David Harbour being incredibly likable. Holly’s watching: Riot Women on SBS. Created by Happy Valley’s Sally Wainwright, it’s a brilliant look at five middle-aged women who decide to form a punk band. Em’s watching: Margo’s Got Money Troubleson Apple TV. Starring Elle Fanning, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Nick Offerman, it’s the story of a college dropout navigating new motherhood and mounting bills.SUBSCRIPTION GIVEAWAY:Win a $2,000 Bed Threads voucher.

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 - 1679 - A Podcast Feud & Hanging Out With Prince Harry
So the ‘royal tour that isn’t’ is in full swing and we have an insider call from Melbourne. Our friend Amy Clark was hanging out with Harry at a men's mental health event this morning, and tells us everything, including which Australian celebrities upstaged the Duke/Prince. But as Harry and Meghan’s itinerary unfurls, Holly Wainwright asks: Is it ballsy or cheeky to be pulling off exactly the kind of tour once reserved for active, working royals?
Plus, as Susan Coyle becomes Australia’s first female Army Chief, the celebrations are almost being drowned out by the sexist trolling. The swampy internet discourse feels gutting for every woman who has ever worked her way to the top only to be met with a chorus of 'DEI hire'. Amelia Lester is unpacking: Should women just ignore the trolling these wins attract, or does that leave us living in a fake reality?
And, 'hey, girl'. Clare Stephens has researched to PhD level the 'Alex vs. Alix' podcast feud. We’ve got Alex Cooper (the Call Her Daddy mogul) and Alix Earle (the Hot Mess creator) throwing passive-aggressive shade over TikTok about 'fake drama' and 'rock bottom' content. Is it a manufactured publicity stunt for an upcoming interview? Or is there genuine jealousy over a Super Bowl commercial and (gosh) Adam Sandler cameos?
Meanwhile, over in Scurrilous Gossip, JLo is reportedly hooking up with Ted Lasso’s Roy Kent (aka Brett Goldstein), and we are invested. Apparently, he's the 'best kisser' she’s ever worked with, which is quite the claim. But is it real?

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 - 1678 - Famesickness & A Towel Debate That Split The Pod
It’s Harry and Meghan week in Australia, and we’re hoping for some big news in Jam World. A lot has changed since the last time they were here and Clare Stephens waited outside the Opera House to touch Prince Harry’s hand. So what can we expect from the royal-not-royal tour?
Bieberchellahas broken the internet and healed a lot of Millennial hearts. Between a $10 million pay check and a setlist that involved Justin dueting with his childhood self, Em Vernem is asking: Is this a profound moment of healing, or just a very expensive therapy session we were all forced to watch?
In other business, Melania Trump decided that this chaotic moment in world affairs was the right moment to make an unprompted address about her "friendship" with Jeffrey Epstein.
And Lena Dunham is releasing a memoir reflecting on fast fame. Her honesty about what peak spotlight did to her coupled with one of the world’s most profitable writers finally revealing her identity, Holly Wainwright is asking: If you could make the art and the money without the fame, why on earth would you choose to be known?
Oh, and as the Federal Government launches a campaign telling us all to do our bit for a potential fuel crisis, are you guilty of pantry-maxxing?

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 - 1677 - 'The Chatbot History That Ruined My Relationship’
You click on a link on your partner’s computer and all their unspoken doubts unspool: You have too many cats. You’re ‘fragile’. And then there’s that 'attraction problem'. This is what happened in the viral story we’re unpacking from writer Lindsey Hall about reading her boyfriend’s ChatGPT thread. So, asks Clare, who betrayed who here? And what would you have done?
Also, is having a 'Signature' everything — from a drink to a restaurant to a gift to an outfit — a genius life hack, or just an excuse for us lazy girls?"
Plus, science has apparently discovered the exact dance moves that make a man 'sexy' to women, and Hamish & Andy have been putting it to the test. While an avatar might have the moves, Holly insists no man is actually a good dancer unless he’s Harry Styles or Bad Bunny.
And, Em tells us about the lipstick we’re all meant to be wearing right now, and, crucially, where we should put it.
SUBSCRIBE here: Support independent women's media
Recommendations

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 - 1676 - The Hollywood Star Who Hates Everyone
Will it be on June 13? Are the people already camping out at a particular Rhode Island resort? Will we even SEE any photos, or will they do a Tom-and-Zendaya? Yes, the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce wedding frenzy is building and Clare Stephens is sifting through the data to decide whether anyone, at all, knows what they’re talking about.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump is back to saying things that make us want to hide under our beds, but Amelia Lester’s found the perfect antidote to the chaos: 'Competency porn'. Whether it's the awe-inducing precision of the Artemis II astronauts or a nurse who is really, really good at their job, there is nothing more comforting right now than watching someone be genuinely competent at what they do. We’re asking: When the world feels like a dumpster fire, is watching collective brilliance the way to stay sane?
Also, Succession star Brian Cox spent his weekend unloading some very unfiltered (and very unflattering) opinions on everyone from Margot Robbie to Johnny Depp. Holly Wainwright noticed that while Brian is being celebrated for his 'tell-it-like-it-is' attitude, women just… don’t do it.
In other business, we're diving into the 'chicken ick'. That sudden, soul-crushing moment where you can no longer look at a poultry breast without gagging.
And finally, Savannah Guthrie, an unimaginable loss and the quiet bravery of going back to work.

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 - 1675 - Even More Random Things We Deem Offensive
Outlouders. Since today isn't a regular kind of Monday, we’re dropping a little treat into your feed. Remember our 'Entirely Random List of Things We Deem Offensive'? Well, you loved it so much that we simply had to do part two.
Before Jessie Stephens headed off to have her twins, she sat down with Holly Wainwright and Claire Murphy to air out a fresh batch of petty grievances and 'no-justification-needed' things we find offensive.
From people who load their groceries onto the conveyor belt prematurely to aggressively long acrylic nails and GPS directions that tell you to 'head northeast', we are officially offended.
Plus, Jessie draws a line in the sand about 'fish that doesn't taste fishy' and Holly unpacks the one hill she will die on: avocado should never, ever be hot.
Join the conversation in the Outlouders Facebook group and let us know the one specific thing that you find just plain rude.

Sun, 05 Apr 2026 - 1674 - The One Number That Says Absolutely Everything About You
Yes, it’s Good Friday but we’re being bad and bringing you a show anyway. First point of business is Clare Stephens’ elitist Easter egg power ranking Do you agree with her controversial Number One?
Plus, we’re deep-diving into the Enneagram personality type obsession currently ruining our lives. It seems every A-lister and podcaster is sharing their 'number', so hold our beer. Holly is grumpy about being a 'Peacemaker' 9, Clare is proudly an 'Investigator' 5, and Emily Vernem is a Type 3 Achiever — which apparently means she’s one bad day away from becoming a psychopath. But are Enneagrams just star signs for the self-optimisation era?
Also, Em has a very strict list of things you must never do in the hour before a date (hint: checking social media is a dopamine-killing trap). From 'gambling with dairy' to the peril of last-minute eyebrow tints, we’re sharing chaotic pre-date disasters.
And, we’re asking the very important question: What would you queue for?
