    The Spectacle Of Zelenskyy & Oscars' Outcasts
    Mar 3 2025
    If you haven’t watched it, you’ve heard about it, if you haven’t heard about it, you felt it in the force on Saturday morning. Yes, we’re sitting down to unpack the viral moments from THAT oval office press conference, with US president Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Plus, why everyone, from reality TV stars to beleaguered celebrities are “speaking their truth” right now. We're asking them to please... stop. And, it’s Oscars' Day. From the drama around the film Emilia Pérez, and why it's lead actress Karla Sofía Gascón ditched the red carpet, to whether or not The Brutalist deserves to win an Oscar... when they admit to using AI. We're unpacking the controversies that led us to this year's red carpet.

  • SUNDAY SPECIAL: Meet The Anonymous Host Of Casefile

    SUNDAY SPECIAL: Meet The Anonymous Host Of Casefile
    Mar 1 2025

    Outlouders, prepare yourselves! We've witnessed something rare and spectacular – Jessie Stephens in full fan-girl mode. We're talking wide-eyed, can't-form-proper-sentences, borderline embarrassing levels of excitement.

    The cause of this meltdown? None other than the elusive figure behind one of Australia's most successful podcasts – Casefile's mysterious 'Casey' – who recently graced True Crime Conversations with his presence.

    To the true crime community, he's podcast royalty. A voice that has guided millions through some of history's darkest moments, all while maintaining his own anonymity. Some call him 'Casey', others 'that Casefile bloke', but nobody calls him by his real name... because nobody knows it!

    In this fascinating conversation with our own Gemma Bath, the man behind the microphone reveals:

    • Why he's kept his identity tucked away safer than evidence in a cold case
    • The unexpected origin story of how Casefile became a global phenomenon
    • His behind-the-scenes creative process (spoiler: it's meticulous)
    • Which cases have left the deepest psychological fingerprints on him

  • The New Things People Are Saying During Sex

    The New Things People Are Saying During Sex
    Feb 28 2025
    Outlouders, have you ever wondered what people who don't swear say during sex? Clean dirty talk, if you will. Wonder no more, friends, for we have a list of the most popular phrases to utter mid sexy time if you're not a potty mouth.They're... interesting. And, remember when AI was just a plot device in sci-fi movies with questionable fashion choices? Surprise. Now, the robots have infiltrated every corner of our existence – from grading kids' homework to diagnosing that weird rash you definitely didn't Google at 3am. But as our digital assistants get chattier than our actual colleagues, Jessie's been pondering: are we trading meaningful human connections for the convenience of having a cyber servant handle our admin? And what happens to our relationships when we'd rather text a chatbot than our actual friends? Brace yourselves for Jessie's hot take that might have you side-eyeing your smart speaker. Plus, Mia's new shoes, a beauty product you need to hear about, and the holy grail for picky eaters. And finally, our Best & Worsts of the week include: talking politicians, a boyfriend emergency, and one of us behaving so poorly she's claiming the official title of a "right cow". Moo.

    Ugly Female Friendships & A New Red Carpet Theory
    Feb 26 2025
    Does it matter who a politician is married to? From Peter Dutton and Anthony Albanese to defacto US president Elon Musk, we discuss what your partner says about you. Plus, Season 3 of The White Lotus has given us a new iconic female friendship group. Why Laurie, Jaclyn and Kate’s glossy toxic dynamic is cringingly familiar. And, with the end of awards season in sight, what do we really mean when we say we’re “worried” about the size of the women on the Hollywood red carpet?

  • Finally, The Person Missing From The Ruby Franke Story

    Finally, The Person Missing From The Ruby Franke Story
    Feb 24 2025
    Ruby Franke, the family vlogger mum, is behind bars for child abuse -- but what about her husband Kevin? We dive into the forgotten family member in this disturbing story and ask whether this case should make us rethink how we share our children's lives online. Plus, from Meghan Markle's vision board to the surge in The White Lotus hotel bookings, why is everyone suddenly feeling aspirational? And, everyone’s lonely, but no-one wants to make plans. Why we’re in the Year of the Flake - unless you’re Mia Freedman who's top of the leaderboard for mastering the pre-flake.

    • The Sibling Estrangement Story We Can't Stop Thinking About

      The Sibling Estrangement Story We Can't Stop Thinking About
      Feb 21 2025
      A very public sibling feud sent Mia down a rabbit hole — and we needed to unpack it. From empire control to public fallouts, we dive into the dramatic Murdoch family saga that's playing out in public. Plus, we explore a growing trend — sibling therapy. With family relationships becoming increasingly complex, should more siblings be heading to the therapist's couch together? Also, we have our recommendations for your weekend. Something a bit sexy, something a bit controversial and the book Amelia Lester can’t stop talking about. And... our best and worst of the week. From an embarrassing moment, one of us thinks she’s beautiful and the jeans that transformed a wardrobe.

    • A Forensic Analysis of Meghan Markle’s Announcement

      A Forensic Analysis of Meghan Markle’s Announcement
      Feb 19 2025
      After trademark troubles and delays with her original brand, our favourite ex-royal is giving it another go. Meghan Markle's new Instagram teaser still gives us those dreamy Montecito mansion vibes, but now with a different name and (presumably) fewer jams. Is this a strategic pivot or damage control? Either way, we're here for it. Plus, Elon Musk brought his kids to the White House, and it's giving major "bring your kids to work day" energy... except when your dad is the world's richest man and he's accused by some as using you as a prop in his latest political statement. We unpack the ethics of it all. And finally, forget everything you thought you knew about modern relationships because apparently open marriages are OUT and good old-fashioned affairs are IN. We dive into the essay that's got everyone clutching their pearls and asking: did we overthink this whole ethical non-monogamy thing?
