Outlouders, gather 'round. Mia Freedman is back in the studio with Holly Wainwright and Em Vernem, with a few pieces of scurrilous gossip she’s dying to unpack. First up, the breakfast TV king himself. Karl Stefanovic is launching a podcast, and Mia has thoughts on what exactly this means.  Plus, we need to talk about Sydney Sweeney’s new lingerie brand, Syrn. (It’s pronounced 'Siren'... apparently). We deep-dive into that viral Hollywood sign video and ask: Is this actually a new era of 'post-feminist' empowerment, or are we just being sold the same old story in better lighting? And, there’s a new documentary about Melania Trump. The team investigates the very curious reports of seat-filling incentives to make the film’s launch look like a hit. So, is anyone actually watching it, or is it all just "fake news"?

If a man breaks up with a 30-something woman who wants a child, is he guilty of more than changing his mind? Inspired by a viral column from the weekend, we explain the phenomena of the  ‘fertility vampire’. Also, you might have seen the disturbing photos of the man once known as Prince Andrew kneeling over a woman. They are just a few of the thousands and thousands of images released in this weekend’s drop from the Epstein Files. So what are they, what else is in there, and what might happen next? Are Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi “affair baiting” on the press tour for Wuthering Heights? And is that… okay?  Plus, Kim Kardashian has finally told us exactly why Harry and Meghan wanted those pictures taken off their socials and Karl Stefanovic is cutting our grass. Jessie Stephens, Emily Vernem and Holly Wainwright unpack all that and why an Outlouder has shattered Holly’s family dreams.    Read Charlotte Ree's article here:He told me not to freeze my eggs.

You probably should be burping your house: every morning, every evening and whenever you get the urge throughout the day, tbh. Jessie Stephens explains to Emily Vernem and Holly Wainwright why not doing that is… a lil bit gross.  And while we’re hygiene-sharing, Em has a question for the group: How many pairs of underwear do you take if you are going away for a weekend? Holly thought she knew the answer to this question, but she’s definitely wrong.  Also, how many risks are parents allowed to take? We’re talking about Alex Honnold and Sanni McCandless - the man who just climbed a skyscraper with no ropes, net or parachute, and the mother of his little kids who watched him do it. Is it okay to just… carry on regardless with your passions, however isolating or deadly they are, once you have kids?  Plus: Be more “vegan + bacon”. Why that’s not an oxymoron, but a philosophy to live by in 2026.  Oh, and recommendations. Which this week include:Emily’s underwear edit - including Nala (the sexiest Aussie pants) and many more.  Holly’s enthusiasm for Oscar-nommed Marty Supreme, in cinemas now, and a high-brow discussion about Timothée's bottom.  And Jessie is watching The Pitt, Season Two, on HBO Max.  Urgent addition! Mia’s new baby, a show for Gen X women who want to laugh - Unleashed.

Mia’s back in charge of today’s subscriber episode - and she’s brought Amelia Lester into the studio to talk about something we’re technically not supposed to notice. We’re currently living through the ‘weight loss injections and plastic surgery’ era and frankly, things are getting complicated. In this candid, subscriber-only episode, Mia and Amelia deep dive into why so many people in Hollywood - and even some of our friend groups - are suddenly looking unrecognisable and just a little bit AI.  In this episode, they unpack the alarming “thinspo” trend and also ask the question no one wants to answer: when did looking like a real human being become a radical act? It’s the conversation Mia’s been wanting to have for a long time, but one that feels increasingly like it’s off limits. It’s raw, slightly uncomfortable and exactly why you’re here. We’re giving away a Your Reformer Pilates bed (worth $3,400).

What is happening in Minneapolis and why is it being called a “watershed” moment for Trump’s America? Sorry, Amelia Lester, you are not getting a week off from explaining something distressing happening in the USA. And, while we’re at it, what is with the Melania documentary, and why is it opening in cinemas in Australia this week?How are you meant to behave when your relationship ends in a very public mess not of your choosing? Hide away and lick your wounds? Spill every ugly detail in 25 Instagram stories? 2026 has other ideas and we have a new playbook for “wronged wife”, thanks to Australian former ’WAG’ Jules Neale.  Also, Amelia, Jessie Stephens and Holly Wainwright consider whether Coco Gauff should have been allowed to have a tennis tantrum in peace.

Holly and Jessie join her to dissect the Sussexes’ messy summer of rebrands, resignations and 'philanthropy', and ask the question no one in Montecito wants to answer: can you be famous and furious about fame? Half-in, half-out? Not in this economy.

Are you one productivity hack away from finally nailing your life? We’ve got you. In this ‘special little treat’ episode (IT'S A DOUBLE EP, OUTLOUDERS 💃) Amelia Lester, Jessie Stephens, and Claire Murphy dive deep into the doable productivity hacks that might actually transform your working life - from the mental clarity of 'hard pants' to why Taylor Swift treats her energy like a luxury item. Then, keep your listening ears turned on for the next part of this banger of a double EP as Em Vernem joins Claire and Jessie to carry on the conversation. Our trio bring you the delightfully unhinged content you didn’t know you needed by dissecting the niche social media rabbit holes we go down late at night.  From 'Hot Dudes Reading' to 'Girls Carrying Shit' or the oddly soothing world of 'Rate My Spoon' (it’s a thing, promise), we’re celebrating the corners of the internet that keep us scrolling long after we should have been asleep.

Outlouders, welcome to the third and final instalment of our Summer Book Club where we’re going out strong. 🔥 Em Vernem, Jessie Stephens and Holly Wainwright dissect Melaleuca by Angie Faye Martin — the Australian debut crime novel we did not see coming and now can’t stop thinking about. This episode has it all: small-town secrets, outback noir vibes, corrupt cops, missing women, a brilliant Indigenous protagonist, and a twist that genuinely divided the hosts. We talk sense of place, why crime novels are such powerful social mirrors, and yes — the chickens. (You’ll understand.) ⚠️ Full spoilers ahead — this one’s for listeners who’ve read the book and are ready to argue lovingly about pacing, plausibility and that ending. Plus: why we’re thrilled Angie Faye Martin is writing a sequel and why Renee Taylor is a protagonist we want to follow anywhere. 📚 Outlouders, we know how many of you love these special episodes so... would you like us to keep the MMOL Book Club going?

🚨 Outlouders, it's another code red. We woke up to the news that private text messages between Blake Lively and Taylor Swift have been made public as part of the ongoing legal case between Lively and Justin Baldoni. Mia has a lot of thoughts about them — and female friendship, in particular — which she needs to work through. This is where you come in, Outlouders. Welcome. Because female friendship is where we do our best emotional work — and sometimes our messiest. It’s the place where conflict isn’t a dealbreaker, it’s a test of how much you care. Where you have the awkward conversation, say the uncomfortable thing, and stay in the room because walking away would be easier but wrong. Today, Mia's talking about what it actually takes to hold onto the women you love, even when it’s tense, complicated... and a little bit cringe. Our regular subscriber episode Jessie's Twins Update & What We Really Did Over The Holidays with Mia, Jessie and Holly drops this afternoon at 5pm but for now, get a little bit of extra Mia goodness in your ears.  We’re giving away a Your Reformer Pilates bed (worth $3,400). And the good news is — as a subscriber, you're already in the running to win. 🎉 What To Listen To Next:  Listen to our latest episode: Brooklyn Beckham, That ‘Inappropriate’ Dance & The Downfall Of A Family Brand Listen: Brooklyn Beckham Goes Nuclear: An Emergency Meeting Listen: The Superstar Podcaster Who’s Been ‘Red-Pilled’ & Was JLo Really That Rude?
