Mamamia Out Loud
Mamamia Podcasts
<p>Australia's #1 podcast for women is where smart women come for good conversation — with an occasional side serve of chaos. Covering news, pop culture and big ideas, plus the small stuff that matters, Mamamia Out Loud is hosted by journalists and authors Mia Freedman, Jessie Stephens and Holly Wainwright. It's your daily dose of conversation that's like catching up with your best, funniest and sharpest friends in the group chat, offering conversation at its most addictive.</p>
- 53 minutes 38 secondsWhat We Did Before 9am
The Oscars is two days away, and while experts predict with data, Mamamia Out Loud predicts with vibes. From naked afterparty guests to the high-stakes battle between Michael B. Jordan and Timothée Chalamet, Holly Wainwright, Clare Stephens, and Em Vernem are placing their bets and asking an important industry question - will Lewis Hamilton use this as a moment for a Kim K hard launch?
Plus, the "boyboss" era is over and crying at work is officially encouraged, which is lucky. Emily shares her first Mamamia cry while Holly would still rather die than leak from the eyes. Is crying now a valid form of corporate communication, or just a sign that your workplace is the problem?
Also, are you treating your morning like an “Opening Shift”? The theory leans into a morning that’s all about setting up for the day. Em’s into it, with her early-morning doomscroll and home-brewed coffee under her belt. Clare has a toddler, so her morning’s are… enough said, and Holly has left that chaos era behind. But the question remains - is the snooze button your friend or your enemy?
Plus, the allure of the bald man and the happiest place on the Internet that celebrates them. And… recommendations:
Em recommends How to get to heaven from Belfast on Netflix.
Clare recommends The Death of Us by Abigail Dean
Holly recommends Harry Styles. One night in Manchester on Netflix.

13 March 2026, 5:30 am - 37 minutes 30 secondsA Lil' Treat: Jessie’s Ready To Tell Her Twin Birth Story
Outlouders, your usual Friday dose of Mamamia Out Loud will drop this afternoon but for now, here's a lil' treat from us to you. Enjoy.
She’s 10 days on. She’s splitting her time and her heart between home and hospital, and she wants to share her story with you, Outlouders.Our beloved co-host Jessie Stephens gave birth to her boy-girl twins last week, earlier than hoped, and became a mum all over again. There will be so many of you who’ll relate to this story of terror-tinged joy, who will recognise the awe and exhaustion in Jessie’s voice, and who will want to send her so much love as she and her little family find their way through a new normal.
Jessie’s rock, her twin sister Clare Stephens as well as Emily Vernem and Holly Wainwright are asking the questions:. How much time did she get “off” before the babies came? What was the first thing that happened when they did? How is Luna? How is Luca? Can she finally eat chocolate again? And how is she staying sane and hopeful? A very special episode.

12 March 2026, 11:48 pm - 2 minutes 20 secondsFREE SUBS TASTER: Mia, Female Friendships & The '3-Word Rule'
Mia is late to the party. Despite “Let Them” being (one of) her Words Of The Year last year, she is finally listening to the Mel Robbins audio book — and she has thoughts.
In this episode, Mia and Amelia unpack the complicated art of female friendships. From the 'scatterings' of marriage and kids to the isolation of running a business, is the secret to staying connected actually just... loosening your grip?
But, while Mia is feeling a “massive unclenching”, Amelia is asking whether 'let them' is just a fancy way of being a passive friend?
Plus, the '3-Word Rule' that might actually save your friendship.

12 March 2026, 1:12 am - 51 minutes 23 secondsA Reluctant Pregnancy Announcement On Live TV
This morning we got a great example of a sensitive, complicated pregnancy announcement in a surprising place. Today Show host Sarah Abo and her offsider, one Karl Stefanovic, shared stories of miscarriage and fertility struggles that you just would not have heard on mainstream morning telly a few years back. So we’re unpacking the politics of public pregnancy news in 2026.
Plus, Gwyneth Paltrow is selling her stuff and we want to bid. Meghan Markle is coming to do a fancy retreat in Australia and we want to go. And Kyle Sandilands says he did nothing wrong and we want to know what’s really going on over at ARN.
And, Gen Z men are more likely to believe a wife should "obey" her husband than their fathers ever were. It’s a grim stat, but Amelia, Holly and Clare have some suggestions about how to make equal partnerships more appealing to young men, including something called “choreplay”.
Plus, the world’s most popular p*rn site has officially blocked Australia. Of course, just like the men in your life, none of us would know anything about that.
Also, we have an update on the seven Iranian soccer players granted asylum on our shores.

10 March 2026, 2:53 am - 47 minutes 23 secondsBeckham, Meghan & Jessie's Hospital Voice Note
The Iranian women’s team has been in Australia playing in the AFC Asian Cup and displaying extraordinary bravery in the face of significant pressure from their home country’s regime. Why have they been criticised and what might happen next?
Plus, the Kyle and Jackie O “divorce” has entered its ‘it’s complicated’ era, and Jackie is finally setting the record straight on those quitting stories. There are reports her next gig might have something to do with Meghan Markle, with the Duchess heading to Sydney for some high-profile speaking gigs which are definitely not a royal tour. But hold on, last time Meghan was here, didn’t she hate it?
In other business, Daryl Hannah is calling out the "crazy ex-girlfriend" trope in the new JFK Jr. series, Love Story, and it’s making us rethink our weekend binge-watch. And David and Victoria Beckham are posting "earnest" birthday tributes to Brooklyn, completely ignoring his legal threats to leave him blocked. Is this a sweet parental olive branch, or does someone need to confiscate Vicky’s phone?
And Timothée Chalamet might have just lost himself an Oscar and it’s Harry Styles week all over the world. It’s unlikely those things are related but you never do know.

9 March 2026, 5:30 am - 51 minutes 58 secondsHow To Talk To Absolutely Anyone
Mascara is over. Yes, it’s joined side parts as beauty cringe, according to the ghost lashes trend that Em Vernem has embraced. We’re unpacking: Are bare eyes cool or do they leave some of us looking like 'elderly babies'?
Plus, the fear of public speaking has morphed into something else: the fear of speaking in public, full stop. So why is small talk dying, and does it matter? We’re asking: Is a quick chat about the weather actually the secret to a happier life?
And, meet the internet’s new favorite literal girlboss — a 13-year-old skincare CEO who edits her COO mom’s 'cringe' captions. While Em feels like a failure by comparison, Holly Wainwright is fascinated by the 'corporatisation of kids' and brand-building curriculums. But is it smart? In an AI world, has 'building a business' become more important than actually knowing things?
In other business, Clare Stephens wants to know why the word 'matrescence' isn't in the dictionary yet?
And, of course, recommendations:
Holly recommends The Walkers podcast by Tortoise Media & The Observer — a wild investigation into the author of The Salt Path.
Emily recommends the book Half His Age by Jennette McCurdy.
Clare recommends Hometown Boys, a six-part investigative podcast from ABC’s Background Briefing.

Outlouders, enjoy this free taster of Mia Freedman on today's subscriber episode. Listen to the full conversation — Mia Enters The 'Working Mums' Chat— at 5 pm TODAY. What do you mean, you're not a subscriber yet? Solve that problem HERE.
When an Outlouder named Vanessa sent in a dilemma asking if she should quit her job, she did something risky: she name-checked Mia Freedman.
Vanessa has been a listener for seven years and has Mia’s voice on a loop in her head — the one that says women should always keep working to protect their super and their sanity. But with a second kid, a husband who has "signed a deal with the devil" for his career, and a workload that feels like a full-body squirm, Vanessa's wondering if it’s time to 'Nup' out of the workforce entirely.
On today’s subscriber episode, Mia is joined by Amelia Lester to unpack the 'breastfeeding brain trap', the 'childcare cheat code', Amelia's trailing wife era, the big career myth — and the cold, hard reality of the working-mother math.
Remember, this is your free sample of today's subs episode. The full debrief drops for subscribers at 5pm.

5 March 2026, 2:07 am - 52 minutes 54 secondsInside The Fight That Ended Kyle & Jackie O
Australia’s most profitable partnership is over. Kyle and Jackie O, commercial radio’s ratings juggernaut for 25 years now, have officially imploded, apparently over an on-air clash about… astrology.
Plus, Jim Carrey is in Paris looking different and people are convinced he’s been replaced by a sophisticated clone. Which is interesting, because when female movie stars ‘look different’, we just call them sad.
And, if you’ve ever been called "too much," a Harvard psychologist wants you to know that oversharing is actually your secret career superpower. Apparently, telling your colleagues about your therapy appointments or your colonoscopy makes you 85% more likable. So, when is "painful transparency" a shortcut to intimacy, and when is it a very awkward HR meeting?
As the conflict in Iran widens, why are we seeing headlines about influencers stranded in Dubai? Among the many people stranded in the “Influencer Capital of the World”, content creators are finding themselves citizen journalists in a territory targeted by missiles.

4 March 2026, 5:31 am - 2 minutes 40 secondsFREE SUBS TASTER: Love Story Part 2: Jackie O, The Kennedys & That Fight Scene
Outlouders, enjoy this free nibble of Mia Freedman. Listen to the full conversation — Love Story Part 2: Jackie O, The Kennedys & That Fight Scene— at 5 pm TODAY. What do you mean, you're not a subscriber yet? Solve that problem HERE.
Mia & Amelia are (still) obsessed with Carolyn Bessette Kennedy (CBK) so they’re back for Part 2 of their deep dive into the TV series Love Story.
From Naomi Watts’ depiction of real-life icon Jackie O to the complex roles of Darryl Hannah and the Kennedy matriarchs, they’re unpacking what it must have been like to marry into the complicated Kennedy family.
Plus, Mia and Amelia examine the toxic dynamics that defined the couple’s public life and break down that infamous Central Park fight scene. Was it a moment of passion, or was it "emotional dysregulation"?
They also discuss the poignant newsletter from the couple’s close friend Carole Radziwill, who explains why she refuses to watch the show and the unsettling question of whether why the dead are never allowed to rest in peace in the age of AI.
It’s a raw and slightly uncomfortable look at how we consume the tragedies of the past as modern entertainment.

3 March 2026, 2:24 am - 53 minutes 22 secondsUninvited Princesses & The Dating Story We're Yearning For
America and Israel have launched an attack on Iran, and while the world watches the fallout of "Epic Fury," we’re looking at what comes next. Our Amelia Lester, also an editor at Foreign Policy, is here to explain why the US acted without Congress, why Australia is one of the few Western voices in support, and whether this is the kind of international meddling Donald Trump promised to avoid?
Plus, Carolyn Bessette and JFK Jnr’s Love Story has triggered a wave of nostalgia for those who lived through the 90s, and 'fauxstalgia' for those who like to imagine a world that didn't involve an endless scroll. Clare Stephens wants to know what life was like when we lived with two hands, and not with one constantly on our phones.
And, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie have been snubbed, finding themselves uninvited from a major royal event. So are they being punished for the sins of their parents, or, Holly Wainwright wants to know, is this the beginning of William’s royal trim down?
Also, we’ve got the definitive list of songs NOT to listen to when you’re driving.
And… Bad Bunny, Harry Styles and the ridiculous joy of watching men dance.
