    The Mushroom Trial Details We Can't Stop Thinking About
    May 7 2025

    The world’s true crime podcasters, novelists and documentary makers are all camped out in a small town in Victoria, transfixed by a woman called Erin Patterson. The 'mushroom murders' are all we can talk about.

    Glennon Doyle can do hard things. But this week, the iconic writer was forced off one of the world’s biggest stages. Why?

    Plus, welcome to the age of the 'quiet wedding proposal' — and why Jessie thinks the new trend might finally see Holly married off to her elderly boyfriend.

    WTF Just Happened? The Election, Prince Harry & Nagi
    May 5 2025

    Did something big happen on the weekend? Well, yes, you could say that.

    SO. MUCH. TO. CHOOSE. FROM.

    Welcome, Outlouders to this packed Monday episode of Mamamia Out Loud where Mia, Jessie and Holly debrief on all the news (and yeah, scurrilous gossip), anyone could ever wish for.

    Uh Oh. The Most Low Status Way To Dress
    May 2 2025
    There’s a four-letter word taking over the internet — it rhymes with munt — and let’s just say it’s dividing the group chat. We’re diving in, side-eyes and all. Then, has personal style officially left the building? Mia and Jessie are joined by Em Vernem to break down the four forces that have turned fashion into chaos. Plus, our recommendations: the show you’ll binge in a day, the book every Outlouder needs to read, and the one thing guaranteed to scare the crap out of you.

  • Meghan's Bedtime Routine Is A Lot

    Meghan's Bedtime Routine Is A Lot
    Apr 30 2025
    Michelle Obama has spoken—and she’s not here to please everyone. The former First Lady revealed what it really took to skip Donald Trump’s inauguration, and why sometimes, disappointing people is exactly the right move. Mia, Jessie and Holly explore Michelle's decision and the role of women as 'shock absorbers'. Also, can kids read minds? The hit podcast The Telepathy Tapes thinks so. But the science behind it is looking more complicated. We discuss. Plus, Meghan Markle has shared a surprising part of her bedtime routine—except it’s not for her, won’t be used for years (if ever), and contains a whole lot of admin. And Gwyneth Paltrow is back in the headlines with a twist no one saw coming: she’s eating carbs again. But do we really need to know every time a celebrity changes their lunch order? Yep, our hosts have thoughts on this...

    We're Fighting About Being Ugly
    Apr 28 2025
    When you fall for someone else on national television, is there a right way to break the news to your partner? On today's show, we dive deep into the tangled breakup of Jojo Siwa and Aussie Kath Ebbs — and yep, it’s messier than you think. Also, the final leaders’ debate served up a baffling convo about eggs, a full-blown culture war, and plenty of secondhand embarrassment. And finally, we're at home with the deeply calm and zen-like Clooneys. George and Amal never argue apparently but is this really something to aspire to in a marriage? We’re unpacking everything they're missing out on when there's no argy-bargy and reveal what couples actually fight about.

  • SUNDAY SPECIAL: Mia, Holly & The Attack On Teenage Girls

    SUNDAY SPECIAL: Mia, Holly & The Attack On Teenage Girls
    Apr 26 2025

    Today's Sunday Special is one we think you're going to love.

    Mia Freedman has been in countless conversations with Holly Wainwright—on mics, off mics, in meetings, in texts. But she’s never been on MID. Until now.

    In this episode, Holly kicks off Season Five with someone who knows her well, and who’s read something very personal—her brand new book, He Would Never.

    It’s a story about the limits and power of female friendships, narcissistic love, and the tricky transitions from girlhood to teenagehood. And Mia had thoughts. Lots of them. For one - the teenage girls we were in the 90s are very different than the teenage girls of today.

    This episode is about writing and ambition. Confidence and self-doubt. Teenage daughters and their teenage selves. It’s a conversation between two women the same age, but at different parenting stages.

    At the end of this episode, Holly has a very special gift for you - so stick around, you don't want to miss it.

    You can pre order Holly's book He Would Never here. And it's available in all good book stores from April 29th
