Outlouders, remember when we all watched A Family Affair? Well today, Jessie wants to share a little treat with you all. The time she and Clare Stephens invited Zac Efron into the Cancelled courtroom. He may have soared into the hearts of millennials when starring in High School Musical, but this doesn’t mean we can overlook his many misadventures. Welcome to the Cancelled courtroom Mr Efron, there are no shirts allowed in here.Can Zac be let off free of charge because his eyes are too dreamy?

Is it getting hot in here... or is it just peri? We have a sexy little treat for you Outlouders and it's an episode all about sex. Overlooked, touched-out and too tired. That's how many MID women feel about sex. It's how Leslie Morgan felt, too. At 49, her marriage ended, and after not having sex for three years, she decided to change that. Over the next year, Leslie found five boyfriends and discovered her sexual self wasn't actually dead, she was just having a good lie down. In this MID interview, Holly Wainwright speaks to author and advocate Leslie Morgan, to discuss what women really mean when they say they no longer care about sex, why you should never cover your wrinkles to attract a younger man (if you want one) and how it feels to have the best sex of your life after 50.

Happy New Year Outlouders! It’s the first day of 2025, and that means it's time for Word Of The Year. If you're new here... welcome to the group and to one of our most anticipated episodes of the year. New Year's resolutions can be a bit drab, so instead, every year we choose a word to that helps us set an intention for the 12 months ahead. Word of the Year is more of a vibe that helps create a focus or filter for every moment and decision, big or small, that's to come. But before Holly, Jessie and Mia (plus Amelia and Em) share their words for 2025, they reflect on their choices for 2024. Did they live up to the words they chose, or better still... actually remember what they were? 👀 Support independent women's media Get your tickets to the Mamamia Out Loud Live 2025 All or Nothing Tour Presented By Nivea Cellular What To Listen To Next: Listen: The Breakup Text We Got This Week Listen: Get The F*ck Out Of Our Village (Please) Listen: The Trends We Want To Return (Or Die For Good) Listen: Jay-Z And An Audacious Family PR Strategy Listen: It's Time We Talked About 'That Guy' Connect your subscription to Apple Podcasts The End Bits: Sign up to the Mamamia Out Loud Newsletter for all our recommendations and behind-the-scenes content in one place.
