Meghan & The LA Fires Blame Game
Celebrities are being scolded over their California wildfire tears, and that sound you hear is the eerily familiar blame game playing out across the devastation. We unpack the story you're seeing everywhere. And, why we love to argue about Australia’s most popular summer accessory — the beach cabana. Naturally, we have some strong opinions and as ever, they're loosely held. Plus, With Love, Meghan.

SUNDAY SPECIAL: Paulina Porizkova: The Supermodel Who Dared To Grow Old On Instagram
Outlouders, do you remember Holly and Mia's obsession with the TV show In Vogue: The 90s? We have a little treat for you today... and it's a conversation that Mia had supermodel Paulina Porizkova on No Filter. For many years Paulina Porizkova was the most recognised face in fashion & beauty - from her iconic Sports Illustrated cover to being the face of Estee Lauder. When she married rock star Ric Ocastek from the iconic band, The Cars. From the outside looking in, it seemed like she was living the dream. To look at her, she really did seem like the woman who had it all. But while Paulina was as visible as you could be…she didn’t feel like she was being heard. Not by the photographers and fashion people, not by producers and directors, and not by her husband, Ric. But then, during COVID, she became known to a whole new generation of women for an unlikely reason…crying on Instagram. And as you’re about to hear - Paulina had a lot of really good reasons to cry. (But, she also gets the last laugh). When Paulina hit her low point, she shared her grief and pain - and tears - with Instagram. As you’ll hear, Paulina had a lot of reasons to cry (and a lot of new reasons to laugh).
