Outlouders, enjoy this free taster of Mia Freedman, Holly Wainwright & Emily Vernem on our subscriber-only episode. You can listen to the full conversation here: Goodbye Sam, WTF Charlize & One Very Messy Celebrity Split

Like many Outlouders, we were shocked and saddened by the sudden passing of beloved Kiwi-Aussie movie star Sam Neill. We reflect on the loss, his career, and how he effortlessly won over a whole new generation.

Plus, images of Charlize Theron on the red carpet of a premiere in Paris prompted an immediate, collective response. It has sparked a necessary conversation about body dysmorphia in midlife, shifting beauty standards, and why remaining youthfully thin into your 50s has become the ultimate high-status trap.

And, the celebrity breakup that has us absolutely reeling: Jack Antonoff and Margaret Qualley are officially over. How does a relationship fall apart just six weeks after a highly publicised podcast tour declaring your marriage your absolute safe space? We unpack the rumours of a messy co-star affair, the volatile reality behind the scenes, and why it is so much harder to delete a love song than an Instagram post.
