SUBS: Jessie's Crisis Of Ambition

What happens when the thing you love becomes the thing you do? In this raw and revealing episode, Mia and Holly give Jessie some straight-up advice about her crisis of ambition. Together, our hosts dive into the messy magic of turning creativity into a career — and what it costs when your joy becomes your job. Despite being at dramatically different life stages — one missing the drive that once defined her, another grappling with shifting responsibilities, and one reaping the rewards of some hard work paying off — they all come to the same eye-opening realisation: the goalposts never stop moving. Success isn’t static. And growth? It’s constant. Whether you’re chasing your next big break, questioning your direction, or wondering “what now?” after hitting a major milestone — this one’s for you, Outlouders.

Um, Who Are You Calling A Narcissist?

The Internet has a new favourite insult: narcissist. But what does it actually mean—and if you’ve found yourself quietly Googling it… should you be worried? Mia, Jessie and Holly discuss on today's show. Plus, it’s one of the biggest celebrity trials in years, and the headlines are already dark. What’s going down in court with P Diddy—and which A-listers might be sweating right now? And, what's an acceptable level of hatred in marriage? One very impressive couple says it’s normal—and even healthy. We unpack the theory that suggests a modicum of dislike might just be the secret to lasting love.

SUBS: Facebook User #60: Amelia Lester’s Wild Origin Story

Friend of the pod and accidental tech historian Amelia Lester is back — and this time, it's with an insider take on an event that's shaped history. Amelia was there when Facebook launched. At Harvard. With that Mark Zuckerberg. And claims the title of being the 60th person to ever sign up to what was then known as The Facebook. Jessie Stephens and Holly Wainwright sit down with Amelia to unpack how a girl from North Sydney ended up in the front row of the social media revolution — navigating post-9/11 America, the Ivy League, and a campus buzzing with the energy of something huge. She shares what young Zuck was really like, what no one knew back then, and how it felt to watch the internet change — from right inside the room where it all started. Buckle up, Outlouders. You’re about to hear Facebook's real origin story.

Blake, Justin & The Taylor Swift Defence

Yes, it only lasts for 24 hours but this year, Mother's Day brought a stark realisation with it: an etiquette guide for the day is way overdue. And on today's ep, Mia, Jessie and Holly happily provide one. Plus, subpoenas and spirals. Taylor Swift has been dragged into the Justin Baldoni v Blake Lively lawsuit, but what does that actually mean? Our hosts break down the legal drama and what's truly at stake. Meanwhile, Justin Bieber's recent behaviour has fans worried. Is this what happens when fame finds you at 12, or is something else going on behind those worrying Instagram posts? And Nick Cave's phone-smashing concert policy. We explore the bizarre reality of performers facing audiences who prefer to film themselves over experiencing the show itself.

SUNDAY SPECIAL: The Women Behind "Strife": Asher, Mia, Bruna & Jessie

Outlouders, we have quite the little treat for your Sunday Special today. It’s been 18 months since Evelyn Jones burst onto our screens in Strife—fictional, yes, but her story couldn’t feel more real to the women who brought her to life. In this special episode of No Filter, host Jessie Stephens— one of Strife's writers and an Executive Editor on Mamamia—is joined by Mia Freedman, Asher Keddie (who plays Evelyn) and Bruna Papandrea (Executive Producer) to reflect on Season 1 and to give us a sneak peek at what’s to come in Season 2. Mia's memoir Work, Strife, Balance inspired the hit Binge series and together, these powerhouse creatives, open up about what it means to be a woman in the media and entertainment industry today—the competition, the comparisons, the fear of cancellation, and the constant balancing act between public and private life. And of course, they talk about ambition: what it costs, why it matters, and how the world still struggles when women dare to want more. Season 2 of Strife is streaming on Binge now.

SUBS: What If True Love Never Finds You?

"Love is a certainty, not a possibility." Or... is it? On today's ep, Holly, Amelia Lester, and Em Vernem unpack a provocative piece by writer Anjana Krishna, who dares to ask: What if romantic love isn’t in the cards for everyone — including herself? From the perspectives of married, single, and 'living in sin', our hosts tackle the disquiet behind that question, the societal obsession with coupledom — and why single women are still being grilled at family dinners. Whatever love looks like to you and whether you’re married, flying solo, or somewhere in between, this episode might just be the liberating permission slip you didn’t know you needed.

WTF Just Happened? The Election, Prince Harry & Nagi

Did something big happen on the weekend? Well, yes, you could say that. Ah, but do you mean the historic election result that no-one saw coming? Prince Harry’s remarkably angry interview?

Meghan's Bedtime Routine Is A Lot

Michelle Obama has spoken—and she’s not here to please everyone. The former First Lady revealed what it really took to skip Donald Trump’s inauguration, and why sometimes, disappointing people is exactly the right move. Mia, Jessie and Holly explore Michelle's decision and the role of women as 'shock absorbers'. Also, can kids read minds? The hit podcast The Telepathy Tapes thinks so. But the science behind it is looking more complicated. We discuss. Plus, Meghan Markle has shared a surprising part of her bedtime routine—except it’s not for her, won’t be used for years (if ever), and contains a whole lot of admin. And Gwyneth Paltrow is back in the headlines with a twist no one saw coming: she’s eating carbs again. But do we really need to know every time a celebrity changes their lunch order?

When you fall for someone else on national television, is there a right way to break the news to your partner? On today's show, we dive deep into the tangled breakup of Jojo Siwa and Aussie Kath Ebbs — and yep, it’s messier than you think. Also, the final leaders’ debate served up a baffling convo about eggs, a full-blown culture war, and plenty of secondhand embarrassment. And finally, we're at home with the deeply calm and zen-like Clooneys. George and Amal never argue apparently but is this really something to aspire to in a marriage?

But she’s never been on MID. Until now. In this episode, Holly kicks off Season Five with someone who knows her well, and who’s read something very personal—her brand new book, He Would Never. It’s a story about the limits and power of female friendships, narcissistic love, and the tricky transitions from girlhood to teenagehood. And Mia had thoughts. Lots of them. For one - the teenage girls we were in the 90s are very different than the teenage girls of today. This episode is about writing and ambition. Confidence and self-doubt. Teenage daughters and their teenage selves. It’s a conversation between two women the same age, but at different parenting stages. At the end of this episode, Holly has a very special gift for you - so stick around, you don't want to miss it. You can pre order Holly's book He Would Never here.

The Influencer Who's Changed Too Much & Liz Hurley's Hard Launch

What happens when a person becomes the brand? Influencer Remi Bader is facing backlash for a personal transformation—and her followers aren’t happy they weren’t part of the journey. We unpack the online pushback and ask: does she actually owe anyone an explanation? Plus, Pope Francis passed away this week. What happens now? We take you inside the mysterious, centuries-old process of choosing the next Pope. Also, with just 10 days until the Australian election, a major issue is being overlooked. In a week filled with devastating headlines about violence against women, we’re asking: what do we really expect from the leaders of our country? And finally… Liz Hurley has gone public with a very unexpected new romance—and it’s giving a very specific energy. We’ve got thoughts. Lots of them.

SUBS: Katy Perry, Gayle King & THAT Blue Origin Space Flight

The girls' trip to space has landed, and boy, do we have questions. In today's episode, we unpack the 11-minute Blue Origin all-female space expedition that's been making headlines, and why it's left us feeling a little... gaslit. We're diving into everything from their sexy designer flight suits and testing out full glam makeup before launch, to kissing the earth on their return, plus all the backlash that followed.

Another Little Treat: The Tyranny Of Looking Like You Haven't Tried

Happy Monday, Outlouders — we’ve got a juicy little treat for you. Usually reserved for subscribers, we’re dropping this one into your feed because… well, you deserve it. As the seasons change, so apparently must our entire wardrobes. Again. It’s a lot. In this episode, Mia and Jessie are joined by the glorious Amelia Lester to unpack the pressure to be 'effortlessness'. We’re talking: The ‘I Woke Up Like This’ lie. Nope, your hair did not do that on its own. Why pretending not to try is somehow the most work of all How the effortless aesthetic has crept into fashion, parenting, relationships, work… you name it, it's got to be without a hint of trying. It’s a full-time job to look like you’re not working at anything. And we’re officially over it.

A Very 2025 Diss Track. No Notes.

'Not quite right' seems to be the feedback for today. Why have six women gone to space in full glam for *checks notes* 11 minutes, only to return to earth and kiss the ground? Side note, why are Kris Jenner and Khloe Kardashian giving interviews about it? We don't remember this episode of The Simpsons. Similarly, why are our politicians dropping diss tracks and is this the new form that election campaigns should take from now on? Can the 2025-2026 budget be released via SoundCloud too? Finally, given the long weekend, we thought we'd leave you with some bonus reccos as a little treat.

The "Ick" Of Old Friends & The Most Hated Woman On The Internet

Old friends. After a spotlight was cast upon the female friendship dynamic in The White Lotus Season 3, we have some thoughts. Are old friendships toxic, or are their sometimes fraught, no BS nature the very thing that makes them the most valuable? Plus, what makes a politician? When Peter Dutton received troubling news minutes before the first Australian Leaders debate, a subsequent discussion emerged. When does a personal crisis trump the requirements of a role and exactly what does it take to be a leader? Finally, astroturfing. No, this doesn't relate to Holly's garden but the manufacturing of public smear campaigns against celebrities, disguised as organic content. Holly, Jessie and friend of the pod Amelia Lester discuss the internet's latest celebrity victim – and what's behind her takedown.
