When Mia Freedman turned 50, she realised she’d accidentally become grout: the stuff between the tiles that nobody notices, holding everyone else together… while quietly falling apart. Grout is a living audio memoir about mid-life.A face she doesn’t recognise, a body that wants to be a circle, kids who need her less, parents who need her more and a new name she definitely didn’t ask for.  It’s funny, it’s poignant and it’s a mess. The prologue lands Tuesday 17 November, and new chapters drop as life keeps happening.  Follow Grout HERE to get the prologue in your feed as soon as it drops.  THE END BITSGrout is written and presented by Mia Freedman. Production by Monique Bowley.  Mixed by Jacob Round & Thom Lyon.

It’s one of the most famous psychology experiments in the world, and Keeshia Pettit has some news: almost everything we were taught about it might not be true. Netflix has rebuilt the Stanford Prison Experiment as a six-part reality show from the people behind Is It Cake? Keeshia watched every episode so she could deliver a verdict. Plus, the 1971 original as it’s rarely told: the guards who were coached, the press release that went out on day two and the prisoner who mostly wanted somewhere quiet to study. Also, Em Vernem and Amelia Lester work out who in the studio would make a terrifying guard, who would quietly lead the prisoner uprising and who would say pineapple first.

This morning Holly picked Amelia up at 5:30am with a coffee and a podcast already queued. Amelia learned that the subtext was ‘no talking until the sun comes up’. Russell Brand spent two decades doing a very convincing impression of a man who loved women. We unpack the Russell Brand verdict, the system that protected him and the women who waited two decades  to hear a court label him as guilty. Plus, Holly has the inside word on the James Bond shortlist which just grew by two names. One of them has Jessie threatening to flip a table. Also, David Jones has collapsed into administration after 188 years. We speak about what we love about department stores, why we think they’ve fallen and Jessie has some advice for anyone sitting on a gift card. And, Holly has found a rare, obsolete English word that she can’t stop saying. Amelia explains why last week’s US midterms might have earned it.

Our very own Amelia Lester joins The Quicky to unpack what it means for Trump’s final two years, from the Iran war to AI, and the voters who abandoned him. Plus, we meet the half-Aussie senator some are tipping as the Democrats’ best shot at the White House in 2028.

Yesterday was a big day in Australia. You may or may not have known that it was the Melbourne Cup and there's a specific link between King Charles and Bec Judd that has them not as worried about the interest rates rise as the rest of us. On Monday, author Craig Silvey was sentenced to seven months in prison. The same day, he published a 9,000-word ‘apology’ on Substack. We unpack what's in it, what's missing from it and how he was even able to publish it. Plus, last year we were all told to ‘Let Them’. Now, a character on Nobody Wants This says we should ‘Make Them’. We ask why men and women are given such different self-help advice.Also, Kim Kardashian's authorised biography is out, and Holly has a question: if someone wrote the story of your life, what would you make them take out?  If you have experienced sexual assault and are in need of support, please call 1800 RESPECT on 1800 737 732.

Nobody Wants This season 3 is here and it’s very, very good but once again, the show is being overshadowed by one of the lead’s marriage ‘problems’. Is a man complimenting another woman’s eyelashes a red flag, or does the internet need to calm down? Holly, Amelia and Keeshia unpack the latest controversial clip of Dax Shepard that split online commentators three ways. So how did America’s Sweetheart Kristen Bell end up in the internet’s favourite marriage to pick apart? Holly has a theory, and it goes all the way back to Cher.

Jennifer Lawrence has launched a hair care line called Mes°, and she’s told the world she wants to be a “sexy mum at drop off”. Amelia had to do some serious soul-searching to work out why she’s so furious about it. Jessie thinks we only have ourselves to blame, and Holly needs a word invented for one very specific feeling.Plus, how many tins of baked beans are in your pantry right now? Amelia found out who started the stockpiling panic and we explain why most of it can be ignored.Also, a husband-and-wife podcast, a portrait tattoo and an old clip that has aged very badly. Jessie explains the H3 cheating scandal to two people who have never heard of it.Plus Martha Stewart has issued a statement about her Halloween costume. It is not an apology. It’s so Martha.

Should you love your partner exactly as much as they love you? Holly, Jessie and Em can’t agree, and one of them has a bedtime ritual that might settle it. Then they name the famous couples who aren’t quite equally in love. All speculation of course. Tom and Zendaya, we're looking at you. Plus, it started with an Amazon dish rack and a broken wine glass, and ended with a 30-part TikTok series and nine million views. Em unpacks the New York roommate war the internet couldn’t stop picking sides on, and Holly reveals some of the wild stories of her old sharehouse. Also, Taylor Swift says Brad Paisley once released thousands of live crickets onto her tour bus. Jessie has questions about men and pranks. And, in this week’s reccos, a TV show that’s almost too obvious to recommend (but we couldn’t help ourselves), a book people keep thinking is full of typos and a hair product Em didn’t know she needed.We’re so excited to be selected for Apple Podcasts Creators We Love, which recognises people who are trailblazers and leaders in podcasting.
