    BROOKLYN BECKHAM EMERGENCY MEETING: DROPPING AT 5PM TODAY
    Jan 20 2026
    Outlouders, Brooklyn Beckham went nuclear on his Instagram stories this morning so, gather around because this is your sneak peek of the emergency podcast meeting Mia Freedman instantly called for subscribers. It was 6am. We had not had coffee. We have literally just stopped recording and are sprinting this straight to you because at 5pm today the entire subscriber episode drops. No waiting. No edging. Full chaos. Jessie Stephens and Holly Wainwright join Mia because they are deep in the whole sad, sorry saga of the Beckham/Peltz family drama: big opinions, unexpected detours, emotional whiplash and at least one moment where someone says, “Should we cut this?” (We did not.) This is a taste. The full feast lands at 5pm for subscribers.SUBSCRIBE TO LISTEN TO THE FULL CONVERSATION: Support independent women's media What To Listen To Next: Listen to our latest episode: A Spectacular Writers' Festival Collapse & The Jennifer Lawrence Dog DramaListen: Why Mia Really Left...

  • The Superstar Podcaster Who’s Been ‘Red-Pilled’ & Was JLo Really That Rude?

    The Superstar Podcaster Who’s Been ‘Red-Pilled’ & Was JLo Really That Rude?
    Jan 19 2026
    One of the most listened to men in the world is being accused of 'red-pilling' his audience. But what is that, and has it happened to Steven Bartlett of Diary of a CEO? Our (literal) foreign policy expert Amelia Lester is back and we have questions for her about Greenland. Namely, where is it? Why does Trump want it? And what happens if he gets it? Also, JLo has been accused of being rude when she didn't say "Hi" to the Glambot Guy on the red carpet at the Golden Globes last week. We all love stories of snooty celebrities but is this just an extension of telling women to "Smile"? Plus, on your Instagram it's 2016. So why are we so attracted to recent nostalgia, and what are the tell-tale signs that a pic was taken the year the whole world lurched towards the flaming bin? All that and other excellent stuff too on today's Mamamia Out Loud with Holly Wainwright, Jessie Stephens and Amelia Lester.

  • We’ve Entered The Year Of Friction-maxxing

    We’ve Entered The Year Of Friction-maxxing
    Jan 15 2026
    Could you have guests over without cleaning all the way up? What about turning off the GPS when you're driving? How about not tracking your kids and partner, no matter what? This year, it's all about friction-maxxing. Learning to live without a few of the conveniences that have become crutches, all in the pursuit of becoming - no big deal - more human. Em is horrified and Jessie is inspired by this essay in The Cut by Kathryn Jezer-Morton. Also, Holly's favourite Dax Shepard says that he will pay for his daughter to freeze her eggs when she turns 18. Is this genius, generous parenting, or snow-plough dadding in action? And, is everyone brushing their faces now? Plus, our recommendations include something glowy for your face, the best coffee pot in the world, and a book Jessie cannot stop thinking about. SUBSCRIBE here: Support independent women's media Recommendations Em recommends a Moka Coffee Pot Jessie recommends Heart the Lover by Lily King. Holly recommends the L’Oreal Lumi Glotion.
