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. Coming next week.

Outlouders, have a little listen to today's subscriber episode. Hear the full episode of Celebrities Look Emaciated And I Don’t Know What To Say at 5pm today. Not a subscriber? Get on it.

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.

Remember, this is just a little sneak peak.The full debrief drops for subscribers at 5pm.

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 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. What’s the latest with the Beckham family meltdown and what do leaked celebrity text messages tell us about our own group-chats?

Outlouders, have a little listen to today's subscriber episode. Listen to the full episode of A Royal Summer Update Of Very Big Feelings at 5pm today. Not a subscriber? Get on it.

Mia's firmly in charge on today's subscriber episode — and taking the Royals with her.

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.

We get into leaked photos, charity confusion, royal egos, sibling feuds, e-scooters on palace grounds and why being announced as “Duchess” when no one’s in the room might be… a choice.

It’s chaotic, deeply opinionated — and exactly why you’re here.

Remember, this is just a taste; an amuse bouche for podcast gourmets. The full auditory meal is coming in hot at 5pm for subscribers.

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. It’s fun, it’s a little bit weird, and it’s exactly what we’re into. Dive in, Outlouders — your algorithm will thank you.

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? Let us know by emailing [email protected].

Heated Rivalry is only the tip of a very sexy ice(hockey)berg. Straight women make up at least 60% of the audience of the booming MM (male to male) queer romance book market. Why? Holly Wainwright, Jessie Stephens and Emily Vernem unpack the theories behind the biggest TV hit of the Summer.  

Also, no, you're not imagining it. Every streaming show you watch is talking to you like you're a little bit... dumb. Matt Damon knows why. 

And, everyone has a venting friend. Sometimes, everyone is a venting friend. But now, 'venting' has been labelled toxic friendship behaviour. We want to know who we can vent to about that. 

Plus, our recommendations. Find them below.

Em recommends Chicago Fire the bingeable TV show that she's currently obsessed with.

Jessie recommends underpants. Yes, treat yourself to an underwear refresh. 

Holly recommends the movie Hamnet that was released in cinemas on January 15.

Outlouders, this is your sneak peek of today's subscriber episode. Listen to the full episode of Jessie's Twins Update & What We Really Did On Our Holidays at 5pm today. Not a subscriber? You know what to do.

So, Jessie Stephens is pregnant with twins and she just got some very inconvenient news. In this episode, Mia Freedman quizzes Jessie on that and all manner of babies' updates, from how much longer she has to go to why the twins already seem to love annoying their mum. 

Plus, what Jessie, Holly and Mia did on their holidays, which ranges from terrible hosting to absolutely nothing to sinking into a slow, dawning panic. 

And everything Mia Freedman read, watched and bought over the break. Have your notes app ready. 

This is just a taste, a little treat, if you will. The full feast lands at 5pm for subscribers.

The word "nuzzle" is being used and Victoria Beckham's humiliation is complete. Yes, we have an update on the devastating private family breakdown playing out in the most public of ways. Including: Why was Brooklyn Beckham's name trademarked to his mum? Why are wedding guests posting, and then deleting their recollections of 'that' dance? And what does the 'Atlantic Gap' have to do with all this? It's all here. 

Also, there have been four shark attacks in New South Wales in just 48 hours, with devastating repercussions. So, is it time Australia got better and louder about shark education?

And, do you have an age-gap friendship? Amelia Lester, Jessie Stephens and Holly Wainwright discuss an article that argues every 20-something woman needs a 40-something friend. What do both sides of that dynamic get out of those relationships? And why do they confuse everyone? 

Plus: The meaning behind Naomi Osaka's "catwalk" moment at the Australian Open. 

OH, and if you can't get enough Beckham news, Mia Freedman hosted a subscriber episode for Outlouders, and you can listen to it, here.

The full conversation is now live! Enjoy the taster? Listen to the full episode here.

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.

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"?

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, 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? 

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.
