The best podcast episodes from 2025, curated for you.

Summer has a particular rhythm. Long drives. Early mornings before the heat kicks in. Dishes done slowly, windows open, headphones in. It's the season made for listening — and Mamamia has done the curating for you.

This summer, we're bringing together 100+ hours of the very best podcast episodes from 2025, pulled from across the Mamamia network and designed to slot neatly into your holiday life. Whether you're travelling, hosting, hiding from the sun or just enjoying the rare luxury of uninterrupted time, there's something here for every mood, moment and attention span.

Every morning The Quicky will be delivering fresh new headlines, while Australia's number one women's podcast Mamamia Out Loud will reflect on the year that was, and what 2026 will bring.

For those deep in binge mode, Watch Party is your essential companion, unpacking Emily in Paris episode by episode — from the fashion moments you loved to the styling choices you absolutely questioned. If celebrity news is your daily ritual, The Spill and Morning Tea are still delivering fresh headlines, entertainment deep dives and cultural conversation all summer long, because pop culture doesn't take a break just because you do.

If the new year has you thinking about a wardrobe and beauty reset, Nothing To Wear and You Beauty are dropping special summer episodes filled with practical style advice, sale strategies and trend predictions that feel achievable, not aspirational.

Parents navigating festive chaos will find comfort (and laughs) in Parenting Out Loud, while Everyone Has An Ex serves up its most unforgettable, dramatic and jaw-dropping real-life stories in a summer series that's impossible to stop listening to. True Crime Conversations is also an absolute must for all you true crime lovers.

For anyone wanting to feel better — physically and mentally — Well is your go-to for health information that actually makes sense. It breaks down everything from hormones to habits in a way that doesn't require a PhD, just curiosity.

And if you've ever wondered why the same arguments keep happening in relationships, This Is Why We Fight lets you be a fly on the wall in the therapy room, unpacking the real issues behind conflict between couples and family members, with insight that's as fascinating as it is reassuring.

For moments when the holidays feel a little overwhelming, But Are You Happy? offers honest conversations about drinking pressure, money stress and navigating complicated family dynamics, while No Filter rounds out the playlist with powerful interviews and deeply human stories that stay with you long after the episode ends.

However you're spending summer, your listening is officially sorted. Just press play.
