    SUBSCRIBER: The Stories We’ve Been Busting To Unpack PART ONE

    Outlouders, we missed you more than Hugh Jackman missed being official. But guess what? We're BACK, and our self-imposed vow of silence has been forgotten as quickly as a New Year’s resolution. First up, we’re diving straight into the tea: Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster are officially "official," and we’re here to unpack the world’s least shocking confirmation. Love is in the air, and so are our opinions. Then there's the 2025 Golden Globes. From Demi Moore’s big win to Jessie’s psychic-level prediction skills, and Mia’s brutally honest fashion recap — it’s all the drama you need to feel like you were there (without the eight-hour prep time). And finally: “Let the little goblin live.” What does it mean? Is it deep? Is it dumb? Honestly, we’re not sure, but it’s very us. Listen to find out.

    Meghan & The LA Fires Blame Game

    Celebrities are being scolded over their California wildfire tears, and that sound you hear is the eerily familiar blame game playing out across the devastation. We unpack the story you're seeing everywhere.  And, why we love to argue about Australia’s most popular summer accessory — the beach cabana. Naturally, we have some strong opinions and as ever, they're loosely held.  Plus, With Love, Meghan. With the announcement of the the Duchess of Sussex's cooking show, is our wait for jam finally over?

    SUNDAY SPECIAL: Paulina Porizkova: The Supermodel Who Dared To Grow Old On Instagram

    Outlouders, do you remember Holly and Mia's obsession with the TV show In Vogue: The 90s?  We have a little treat for you today... and it's a conversation that Mia had supermodel Paulina Porizkova on No Filter.  For many years Paulina Porizkova was the most recognised face in fashion & beauty - from her iconic Sports Illustrated cover to being the face of Estee Lauder. When she married rock star Ric Ocastek from the iconic band, The Cars. From the outside looking in, it seemed like she was living the dream. To look at her, she really did seem like the woman who had it all. But while Paulina was as visible as you could be…she didn’t feel like she was being heard. Not by the photographers and fashion people, not by producers and directors, and not by her husband, Ric. But then, during COVID, she became known to a whole new generation of women for an unlikely reason…crying on Instagram. And as you’re about to hear - Paulina had a lot of really good reasons to cry. (But, she also gets the last laugh). When Paulina hit her low point, she shared her grief and pain - and tears - with Instagram. As you’ll hear, Paulina had a lot of reasons to cry (and a lot of new reasons to laugh).

    SUBSCRIBER: Is It Cheating If I…?

    What does micro-cheating actually look like? What lengths would you go to with digital sleuthing? What does it mean to like a photo? To leave a comment? To send a goodnight text? An “x” at the end?  In this episode, Holly, Mia and Jessie unpack what constitutes "cheating" and micro-cheating. Plus, whether sending reels and memes to another person while you're in a relationship is a no no.  What to listen to next:  Listen: The Breakup Text We Got This Week Listen: Em Rata And A Universal Truth About Divorce Listen: A Baby, A Cat And A Late Onset Psychopath Connect your subscription to Apple Podcasts  Sign up to the Mamamia Out Loud Newsletter for all our recommendations and behind-the-scenes content in one place.  GET IN TOUCH: Feedback?
