Outlouders, enjoy this free taster of Jessie Stephens, Emily Vernem & Holly Wainwright on our subscriber-only episode. You can listen to the full conversation here: The Victoria Beckham C-word Investigation It's Tuesday, which means gossip we probably shouldn't be enjoying this much.There is a rumour that Taylor Swift invented her own award at the VMAs, then acted surprised when she won it. Wild if true. Em unpacks it for us and details what happens when Taylor and Charli XCX end up at the same show after writing diss tracks about each other. Plus, Holly details the joke that got comedian Katherine Ryan investigated by the BBC after two very influential viewers complained about what she called Victoria Beckham. Is it ever OK to call another woman the C-word? One of us has an answer involving a pub and a stranger who won't be barging into anyone again. And Jessie has the story of Orlando Bloom, real-life sisters Rooney and Kate Mara and a very awkward intimacy scene. Is it just acting, or has someone crossed a line?

A few weeks ago, Holly recommended an episode of Mamamia’s Gen X podcast, Unleashed, and we’re bringing it to the Outlouders feed. If you haven’t listened before, Unleashed is a podcast for Gen X women who need a laugh, a chat and sometimes a space for the harder parts of life. Unleashed co-host Dr Ginni Mansberg recently shared the deeply personal story of her mum’s decision to choose voluntary assisted dying. Ginni wanted to talk about what was happening with her family, but we wanted to give her the space to tell the story not just as a doctor, but most importantly, as a daughter. This is part one of a three-part series, beginning one month before Ginni’s mum’s death. Listen to part two and part three here. Please take care while listening. This episode discusses voluntary assisted dying, death and grief. If this conversation brought up hard feelings and you need some help, please call Lifeline here. In your ears today is Cath Mahoney, Bruna Papandrea and Ginni Mansberg Check out our Unleashed music playlist for some feel good throwbacks!

Taylor Swift is hanging out with her wedding guest Tom Cruise at a football game and we want to know who's got more to gain from those optics.  You've heard about the Hyrox athlete who, um, soiled herself mid comp but went on to win. There are lots of memes. But we’re asking a different question: would you do the same for the prize money of $21k? Today's a big day for Mia, as you'll hear as she struggles to get through our conversation about kids. And why did the advice to 'act like a drunk person falling downstairs' change Jessie's parenting? Plus Karl Stefanovic’s podcast is M.I.A and he and his business partner are in court.

We're being told AI could end humanity, which is a lot for a Monday. But don’t worry, Sydney Sweeney is here to tell us how much she loves sports!There’s a skit going viral about Harry and Meghan that has people divided on whether it’s a little bit funny or a little bit mean.An AI researcher quit his job last week and told us that the people building this stuff genuinely believe it could kill us all within the decade. Amelia explains what the whistleblowers are calling for and why "just regulate it" might not be the easy fix everyone assumes.Plus Holly's making the case for 'hopepunk' - why choosing hope right now might be the most rebellious thing you can do. Borrowing from Caitlin Moran and Nick Cave, we explore how you can actually change anything in a world this broken, and why giving up isn't an option.Also, Sydney Sweeney's new ad for a sports betting app has her straddling a basketball hoop naked, and it has united female athletes around the world.

Among the tributes to a legend, one Gloria Steinem quote is landing hard for a generation of millennial women. So, Holly wants to discuss, are we still “living the unlived lives of our mothers?” or do we now almost envy the lives they got to lead? Plus, Jessie wants to tell us about a $800 toothbrush with its own onboard camera and an AI opinion about your gums, and she is worryingly into it. And, Amelia has watched Netflix's new Raygun documentary and wants to know if you can actually have TOO much self belief?  Plus: The Australian sporting moment you can’t watch without crying.

Your house needs a “dirty zone”.  Which, let’s face it, is just as well.  Also, is there such a thing as living too long? Jessie Stephens wants to take on the longevity craze and unpack this dangerous idea, after seeing Lucinda Holdforth speak. Plus, Holly Wainwright blames Harry Styles for the fact that running has become the coolest hobby there is, Jessie has a theory about marathon runners and Em thinks there’s a very strict rule about how long they can wear their medals. And, a marathon (ouch) of recommendations, friends:  Em recommends a water filter jug from Kmart.  Jessie recommends A LOT — The Things We Never Say by Elizabeth Strout, The Traitors Australia, and Silk Pillowcases.

The Sydney Swans scandal has left fans devastated, but what does it mean for a club that built its identity around being progressive, inclusive and different from other sporting codes? Mia Freedman, Em Vernem and Amelia Lester unpack the fallout and why so many female fans feel betrayed by a team they thought was a safe place to belong. Plus, Harry and Meghan are moving back to the UK... but why? Our royal correspondent Holly Wainwright dials in to tell us what’s really behind their return, from family reconciliation to Meghan’s career and Harry’s relationship with his home country. And Nicole Kidman reveals she’s either at a small dinner party or a rave and honestly, we have questions. Buy tickets to The Spring Fling here.
