    The Missing Minute & The Missing Body
    Jul 16 2025
    There’s a distinct true crime spin on MMOL today. The Outback Killer Bradley Murdoch has died, and after 24 years, he’s taking his secrets to the grave with him. Plus, are we normalising meanness? With shows that scratch our hate-watch itch, Mia, Amelia and Jessie talk about why we're clocking up so much time in front of something we actively dislike. And Jeffrey Epstein’s name is back in the news and being said in the same breath as Donald Trump, missing files, and the unanswered questions that are turning us into conspiracy theorists. It’s all going on, Outlouders.

  • Are We Done Being Bitchy About Lena Dunham?

    Are We Done Being Bitchy About Lena Dunham?
    Jul 14 2025
    She was the voice of a generation, then she vanished. Now Lena Dunham is back with a Netflix romcom—but where has she been? The creator of Girls disappeared from the spotlight for years, and the story behind her absence is almost more compelling than her comeback. So why did the woman who defined millennial womanhood step away? Mia, Jessie and Amelia Lester discuss on today's show. And if you've been posting less and scrolling more, you're not alone. Women everywhere are retreating from social media, choosing to lurk rather than share. We're exploring why we're all heading towards posting zero—and what it means for how we connect. Plus, scurrilous (royal) gossip: King Charles and Prince Harry's aides held a secret meeting, and everyone's speculating about what went down. Are the palace walls finally cracking?

  • Microefficiencies & The Politics Of A Mean Group Chat

    Microefficiencies & The Politics Of A Mean Group Chat
    Jul 11 2025
    The world is not made for me. The very melodramatic Substack that describes every short girl’s problems. So today, shorties Mia and Jessie are joined by taller girl Amelia Lester and Mamamia's even taller Deputy Editor Stacey Hicks, to figure out who’s got it worse. Also, why do we need to be so efficient all the darn time? Micro-efficiencies are the new craze and with their increase, it’s our chance to rest our decision-making brains. Plus, in this auditory medium, we present an optical illusion. Blame Jessie. If you'd like to see how high you are on the vision leaderboard, the illusions will be on our Instagram. And of course, recommendations: a trip to the cinema, a very fancy kitchen gadget, and a fascinating documentary. Recommendations Mia recommends The Ninja Slushi Jessie recommends The Settlers on ABC iview Amelia recommends The Materialists in cinemas What To Listen To Next: Listen to our latest episode: Should Your Family Divorce Your Ex Too?Listen: The Sex Chat No Woman Wants To HaveListen: WTF is Going On In America Right Now?Listen: Please Remove Me From Your Micro DramaListen: BONUS: Our Honest Thoughts About 'And Just Like That' Season ThreeListen: You're A Bitch And That's Why We Lack CommunityListen: When Your Family Is the ProblemParenting Out Loud: Dr Becky's DFK Theory & The Great Trampoline DebateConnect your subscription to Apple Podcasts Watch Mamamia Out Loud: Mamamia Out Loud on YouTube What to read: The essential items every tall girl should own, according to Those Two Girls' Lise and Sarah.'Men made dating difficult, not my height.
