    Sydney Sweeney Knows Exactly What She's Doing & The 'Paperclip' Theory

    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. They’re furious. We unpack why women in sport feel it’s pushed us backwards and whether the ad is doing exactly what it was designed to do.

    Why We All Quit Therapy & When The Internet Says ‘Leave Him’

    Are Aussies anti bush? Not the former president, the bikini kind. A viral essay asked why nobody blinked when a writer wore hers to the beach, and Em wants to know whether Australia is culturally anti-bush while America is having a big bush renaissance (a bush-enaissance if you allow). Would you post about it if your partner killed the family pet? A well-known content creator told her 1.8 million followers that her husband had killed the injured bird they were nursing back to health, and the internet unanimously said the same thing: leave him. But is it actually that simple, or is there a difference between the line you'd draw with your partner and the line you'd draw with a friend? Plus, one of the biggest names on the internet has just quietly ended a show she's been running for 12 years, and Em thinks she's stopped too soon. And therapy is over-rated! Why none of us are having it at the moment and what we’re doing instead.

    NO FILTER: "I Went to a Really Dark Place": Jessie Stephens on the Six Months Nobody Saw

    Jessie Stephens, co-host of Mamamia Out Loud and bestselling author, sits down with Kate Langbroek for a completely candid conversation about the last six months of her life. Ten weeks early, on the day she finished up for maternity leave, Jessie gave birth to twins Margot and Harry, while at home raising her toddler daughter, Luna. Jessie opens up about something she's never spoken about publicly before, a moment in NICU when she found herself in what she describes as "a really dark place." She also talks about growing up an identical twin, falling for her now husband Luca while they worked together, and building a marriage and family and a career when it's all intertwined. Jessie will be back on Mamamia Out Loud in September. Want to listen before everyone else?

    Your House Needs A Dirty Zone & Everything That Got Jessie Stephens Through Mat Leave

    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. Also Love Island. Holly recommends My Brilliant Career on Netflix. Keen for more?

    The Lindsay Clancy Frenzy & Holly’s Surprising Harry Take

    Outside a Massachusetts courtroom, women have travelled across the country to hold signs that read "she needed help". Jessie Stephens unpacks forensic fandom — the internet's habit of working a real trial as if it’s a season of Lost — and why those signs might not be about Lindsay Clancy at all. Plus, Holly Wainwright is back from holidaying in Harry and Meghan’s new home and has a surprising (for her) new take. Also, Married at First Sight is reportedly going sober, drastically cutting its alcohol rules after a series of scandals. Jessie has thoughts about whether a show built on a hand grenade survives without one. And, Olivia Rodrigo is our crush and pin-up in a week when we need heroes, and why men are cutting off their eyelashes for a really dumb reason.

    The ‘Freezer Spell’ Trend & A Lethal Sex Act

    It took $18 billion to get kids off instagram. Meta has agreed to pay the landmark sum to make social media safer. Mia breaks down what’s actually changing, whether it will actually help, or whether we’re all too addicted. Plus, Mia and Nicole Kidman have something surprisingly specific in common. There’s a “freezer spell” trend taking over group chats, is it setting a boundary… or just a very cold way of avoiding a difficult conversation? A tragic death has prompted a deeply uncomfortable conversation about sex, consent and what young people now consider normal. Amelia looks at why sexual choking has become so widespread among young people and why experts say that consenting to something doesn’t necessarily make it safe.
