  • An Urgent Theory About Kim Kardashian & Lewis Hamilton

    An Urgent Theory About Kim Kardashian & Lewis Hamilton
    Feb 4 2026
    Why did the news about Kim Kardashian’s new boyfriend make Em Vernem cry? The F1 fans of Out Loud have a lot of big feelings about Kim and Lewis Hamilton’s romantic weekend in London and Paris, and the reason is... baffling. Plus, a former Neighbours star is now a big deal in populist Right politics, globally. Yes, Holly Valance is busy trying to get Pauline Hanson elected, just as she’s trying to get Nigel Farage elected in the UK and threw a massive fundraiser for Trump in 2024. So, is Valance’s One Nation re-record of Kiss Kiss silly, or scary? And.. Is it always better to be right? Holly Wainwright, Jessie Stephens and Em wrestle with the dichotomy of caring about facts and caring about being an infuriating over-corrector. Oh, and we found out the truth about Chappell Roan’s nipples. You. Are. Welcome.

  • FREE SUBS TASTER: Scurrilous Gossip - Karl Stefanovic, Melania Trump & Sydney Sweeney, Oh My

    FREE SUBS TASTER: Scurrilous Gossip - Karl Stefanovic, Melania Trump & Sydney Sweeney, Oh My
    Feb 3 2026
    Outlouders, enjoy this free taste of Mia in full flight on today's subscriber episode. Listen to the complete episode of Scurrilous Gossip - Karl Stefanovic, Melania Trump & Sydney Sweeney, oh my at 5pm today. Not a subscriber? This is where all that can change. 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"? Remember, this is just a little subs snackette. The full debrief drops for subscribers at 5pm.
