Mamamia Out Loud

LISTEN: Last week was World Menopause Day, and no one noticed.

Outlouders, enjoy this free taster of Mia Freedman on today's subscriber episode. Listen to the full conversation — 'Mia's Diary Note: Burnout & Bras & Books, Oh My!' — at 5 pm TODAY. What do you mean, you're not a subscriber yet? Solve that problem HERE.

Mia is deep in a nostalgia hole this week after bingeing the JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy series, Love Story. It turns out, seeing a world without DMs, TikTok trends, or the urge to live-stream your breakfast has her ready to trade her smartphone for a flip phone and some chic minimalism. Are we actually 'connected' or just... exhausted?

In this episode:


The 'Always On' Burnout: Mia gets real about the specific brand of fatigue that comes from being reachable 24/7. When did 'relaxing' become just another word for 'scrolling in a different room'?
The Content Trap: Why are we obsessed with turning every family moment into a production for the group chat? Mia asks if it’s possible to just exist — without looking for the best lighting.

Mia's Reccos
The retro chocolate bar making a comeback in Mia’s pantry.
The sports bra finally doing the literal heavy lifting.
The memoir sparking a heated debate: is supporting your partner’s career a romantic gesture or a professional death wish?

Remember, this is your free sample of today's subs episode. The full debrief drops for subscribers at 5pm.

FREE SUBS TASTER: Mia's Diary Note: Burnout & Bras & Books, Oh My!

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/fd9d5b7c-6a4e-41d4-8bba-b40c003ae352/transcript

Celebrity gossip lip-readers have changed the game. Because of them we know Timothée Chalamet hated the Oscars, King Charles says F and Prince William had no time for 'Andrew’s' apology. So is that ‘zero privacy’ development fair play? And what DID Timmy say to his sister about Kylie Jenner? 

In other scurrilous gossip, we’re meant to think that Nicole Kidman has a new friends-to-lovers boyfriend, and that Keith Urban is 'reeling'. Hmmm.

Plus, peptides are the new cottage cheese, in demand from both older women and teenage boys. Except, unregulated, they can be rather more dangerous than a protein-heavy snack. So what the hell is a peptide, and how worried should we be about influencers spruiking them? (Hint: Very)

'Our' Queen Mary is touring Australia and once upon a time, that would have guaranteed tabloid mayhem. These days everything is… quieter. Is that because a midlife Queen is less enticing to the attention economy than the Carrie-esque lure of the princess fairytale? 

Plus, Ethan Hawke has the best advice for those suffering from unrequited love. Yes, some ageing Gen X heartthrobs are still the real deal.

Scurrilous Lip-Reading Gossip & WTF Is 'Peptide Maxxing'?

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/2506ea07-fd0f-4701-b40b-b40c003ad6dc/transcript

Outlouders, enjoy this free taster of Mia Freedman on today's subscriber episode. Listen to the full conversation —  'Are Flaps In Or Out?' Mia's Rogue Oscars Fashion Feedback — at 5 pm TODAY. What do you mean, you're not a subscriber yet? Solve that problem HERE.

The biggest night in Hollywood has come and gone, and while the show itself was - dare we say - a bit of a snooze, the fashion gave us plenty to talk about.

In this exclusive subscriber episode, Mia Freedman and Em Vernem dive into this year’s Oscars fashion. From Demi Moore’s bird/snake vibe to Rose Byrne’s head to toe perfection, Mia has feedback. So, did the celebs play it too safe on the red carpet?

Also, while Em was focused on the outfits alone, Mia was too distracted by the bodies in them and how different the red carpet looks in 2026.  

Plus, from Gwyneth Paltrow’s glittery ‘naked’ pants to Jeff Goldblum’s wife Emilie Livingston’s high-cut pantless look, they unpack the 'front flap' debate that has Mia questioning everything. 

Sit back and enjoy their unfiltered thoughts about their favourite and not-so favourite Oscars looks.

Remember, this is your free sample of today's subs episode. The full debrief drops for subscribers at 5pm.
