Subscribe to Mamamia Outlouders, with the US presidential election this week, we thought it would be timely to share with you the time the Cancelled courtroom welcomed Donald John Trump, reality star, businessman, former president and current presidential candidate. Donald is no stranger to a real courtroom but today is all about his petty crimes including drinking 12 Diet Cokes a day, claiming bodies are like batteries, and not thinking through the logistics of a particular wall.  Now, if you genuinely tried to do a Cancelled episode about Mr Donald, you’d be going for a decade so instead the episode covers SOME of the bizarre moments you may have forgotten about. Plus, more lazy gewl stories.

Writer and activist, Africa Brooke, used to call people out on the internet all the time  because this is what the culture wars told her she needed to do.  Until one day - she suddenly stopped.  In 2021, Africa wrote an open letter and posted it online. She called it: “Why I’m Leaving the Cult of Wokeness” and it immediately went viral. The letter changed her life, but not in the way she expected it to.  So what did she write in that letter? And how did she become unafraid? Was she cancelled? In this bold and timely interview - Africa Brooke and Mia Freedman discuss the pressures, expectations and risks of living in the Age of Intolerance. You can find out more about Africa Brooke here. You can follow Africa on Instagram here. THE END BITS: Listen to the latest episode of Mamamia Out Loud Listen to more No Filter interviews here and follow us on Instagram here.

We unpack.  The Menendez brothers admitted killing their parents. Now they might be about to get out of jail. Here's why a TV show might be responsible for freeing them from a life behind bars.

And it reminds us of something we repeatedly choose to forget. We discuss Jackie O's viral and very vulnerable moment as the star confirms that proceeds from her memoir The Whole Truth will be donated to addiction treatment centre Odyssey House.  Plus, you’ve probably seen the clip of the Irish movie star Saoirse Ronan sitting on The Graham Norton Show couch, shutting everyone up with a truth bomb that resonated with women everywhere. But what wasn’t said?  And, screw getting a mentor, don’t dream big and really, really don’t trust your gut. The best career advice that’s exactly the opposite of all the stuff you’ve ever been told.            What To Listen To Next:  Listen to our latest episode: The Friends Who Don’t Make The Grid Listen: Polls, Vibes & Trump's Work Experience Day Listen: Raygun And Some Very Big Feelings Listen to No Filter: Jackie O On What She Wishes She'd Known About Divorce Listen to True Crime Conversations  Connect your subscription to Apple Podcasts  Sign up to the Mamamia Out Loud Newsletter for all our recommendations and behind-the-scenes content in one place.  Join the Month of MOVE Get $30 off a Mamamia subscription and get unlimited access to our feel-good exercise app. Head here to get a yearly subscription for just $39.  What to Read:  Read: With just 10 words, Saoirse Ronan silenced all the men on The Graham Norton Show.

Outlouders, Mia has a little treat for you today about one of our Roman Empires... Trad Wives.  Trad Wives like Hannah Neeleman and her Ballerina Farm empire have captured our imagination - and divided our opinions. They're an Instagram phenomenon using highly-produced content to promote traditional family values - specifically, the idea that women would be happier if they stayed home and served their husbands and children, trading in a life of career-focused grind for a life of content domesticity - and nobody sells this idea better than Hannah. Megan Agnew is a journalist for UK newspaper The Times. She managed to spend a day with Hannah, her husband Daniel and their eight children on the notoriously hard-to-penetrate Ballerina Farm. Megan saw behind the scenes but what she witnessed is very different to what we see on Instagram. Her article went viral and sparked a million think pieces and spurred some very strong reactions… including from the Neelemans themselves. So, what is behind the Trad Wife movement? Is it just harmless entrepreneurship, or is there a darker, more serious ideology beneath the surface? You can follow Megan Agnew here. You can listen to our episode with Tia Levings who barely escaped her Trad Wife life, here.
