    SUBS: Goodbye Sam, WTF Charlize & One Very Messy Celebrity Split

    Like many Outlouders, we were shocked and saddened by the sudden passing of beloved Kiwi-Aussie movie star Sam Neill. We reflect on the loss, his career, and how he effortlessly won over a whole new generation. Plus, images of Charlize Theron on the red carpet of a premiere in Paris prompted an immediate, collective response. It has sparked a necessary conversation about body dysmorphia in midlife, shifting beauty standards, and why remaining youthfully thin into your 50s has become the ultimate high-status trap. And, the celebrity breakup that has us absolutely reeling: Jack Antonoff and Margaret Qualley are officially over. How does a relationship fall apart just six weeks after a highly publicised podcast tour declaring your marriage your absolute safe space? We unpack the rumours of a messy co-star affair, the volatile reality behind the scenes, and why it is so much harder to delete a love song than an Instagram post.

    Lena’s Revenge, Harry’s Secret Tea & Clare Calls In

    So Out Loud host Clare Stephens has had her baby boy, and no, she didn’t take up any of Em’s name suggestions but yes, she has called into the show from the hospital with a birth update. Also, for a while there they were Australia’s Beckhams. Now the next generation of Hewitts - Lleyton and Bec’s kids - are… playing at Wimbledon?  Lena Dunham has shaken off Famesickess to master the comeback. But what does that have to do with Jack Antonoff’s recent split? Where is Taylor’s wedding dress? There’s a theory, and it’s around the number 13. Also, the silliest husband in the world did not RSVP to his family invite.  People are paying to get together and… do absolutely nothing.  And, yes, Prince Harry went over to his Dad’s for a historic cup of tea..  Get access to Very Peri, Mamamia's exclusive perimenopause series, for just $59. 25 world-leading experts, over 20 on-demand sessions, available now.

    SUBS: The Unseen Scar: An Honest Conversation About Coercive Control

    In this subscriber-exclusive episode, Mia Freedman and Amelia Lester have a deeply personal conversation about coercive control, emotional abuse and the kinds of controlling behaviours that can be almost impossible to recognise while you're living through them. Inspired by Mamamia's original series, The Unseen Scar, they ask a confronting question: what happens when the warning signs don't look like warning signs at all? They discuss how the seemingly small behaviours - tracking your location, controlling money, questioning what you wear, or disguising criticism as care - can slowly escalate into patterns of coercion and control. This is an honest, compassionate conversation about the unseen scars of emotional abuse and why recognising coercive control matters.
