After Work Drinks

Izzy and Grace talk about inherited wealth off the back of Emerald Fennell's BAFTAs sweep, do a deep-dive on Chris Kraus' 1997 classic 'I Love Dick', and unpack the Hollywood Reporter's bombshell exposè on Hollywood mega-producer Scott Rudin (think the Harvey Weinstein of emotional abuse). Then it's onto Chet Hanks' 'White Boy Summer'—AKA why Tom Hanks' white rapper son is literally the only thing...

Izzy and Grace talk about post-pandemic socialising, including a cautionary tale about how bottomless champagne brunches can lead to you finding yourself blasting Lauryn Hill through your IPhone in an unknown suburb at 4PM. Izzy watched Vanilla Sky, Grace has a stale podcast recommendation, and we talk about HBO's new QAnon documentary. Then, it's a deep dive on The New York Times' new story about...

It's the perfect mix this week: Orlando Bloom’s chaotic daily routine, how robots taking over the world will be both bad (Scarlett Johansson sex robots) and good (women no longer having to give birth), Em Rata forgetting she wasn’t going to gender her baby, and how the model minority myth has contributed to Asians being left out of conversations about racism and white supremacy. You can follow us...

This week Izzy reviews Judas and the Black Messiah, and Grace recommends an episode of This American Life that takes us on a deep-dive about ‘everyone’s a critic-culture’. Then we talk about the emotional fall-out of the Sarah Everard case, as well as the protests in Australia, and why it’s okay to bow out of engaging with the news right now. Plus, best-dressed from the Grammys, Elliot Page’s fab...

Two lots of us in one week—how did you get so lucky? This week we're back on the royals checking in on the fall-out of the Meghan and Harry Oprah interview, including 'We're not a racist family'-gate, and the Queen's lukewarm statement. We're also gleefully celebrating the demise of Piers Morgan, bye bitch. Plus, the Teen Vogue racism scandal, Adam Driver and Lady Gaga's Instagram-breaking new mov...

You asked, we listened: welcome to an emergency AWD episode recorded immediately after we illegally streamed Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's sit-down interview with Oprah. Enjoy, angels. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week—Izzy's alter ego 'Pea Brain' gets psychoanalyzed (and discovers 'Indian Matchmaking'), and we talk about the new Adam Curtis doc, Christian Porter's rape allegations and everything you didn't know about the Columbine shooting. Then it's onto fun things: a genuinely unhinged deep dive into the Prince Harry James Corden appearance and upcoming Oprah expose, how the Golden Globes accidental...

Hello angels! Up this week: Australian influencer and content creator Margaret Zhang is officially Vogue’s youngest editor-in-chief; the Reply All podcast investigating the Bon Appétit drama was cancelled for what it was cancelling Bon Appétit for; Margaret Qualley has come out in support of FKA Twigs; we finally know why 'Emily in Paris' got those Golden Globes nominations; and Kimye is officiall...

Vanilla-shaming has become the new kink-shaming on TikTok, which leads us to discuss the kink community and how our misunderstanding of it has allowed predatory men to flourish. Then, why one woman's tweet prompted thousands - us included - to defend parties and random sex. Plus, Grace defends Marie Antoinette and her jareh husband, we discuss why we need to Free Maddie Ziegler and celebrate Anna...

This week Izzy gives us a beginner's guide to Freudian psychology (and a rundown of First Dates), Grace recommends a new book dubbed "the first genuinely good novel about the internet", then we deep dive on Emerald Fennell's 'Promising Young Woman', the Carey Mulligan/Variety controversy, and the Britney Spears documentary. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hello angels. On the agenda today: the fuckery that is the Golden Globes, the legend that is SOPHIE, why AOC is being criticised for speaking out about her trauma, why ARod is about to get dumped by JLo and the very bad but very bingeable book by Kim Kardashian’s Paris robber, which includes a cameo from Tracy Chapman.  Rate, review and subscribe bbs  Hosted on Acast.

Hello angels. In our last installment of our #VeryUltra summer (we're heartbroken too), we’re thrilled to be talking to Tik Tok sensation—830,000 followers and counting—and trans activist AJ Clementine. AJ began her career on Youtube, offering a raw and vulnerable depiction of her own experiencing transitioning. Now, she's one of the most formidable emerging forces in the Australian media, working...

This week we're talking about the controversy surrounding the delightful new Disney movie Soul; how the cult new TV series 'It's A Sin' is shedding new light on the AIDS crisis; Tavi Gevinson's revival of Rookie in a new podcast series; Dakota Johnson's lime escapades; and then all things the inauguration: the Bernie meme, Amanda Gorman, Ella Emhoff in Miu Miu and the strange intersections between...

Hello angels. In the latest installment of our #VeryUltra summer, we’re talking to the talented, wonderful Mavournee Hazel. Mav is, to us, the definition of ‘Very Ultra’—firstly, just, aesthetically (if you’re one of her 90,000 Instagram followers you’ll already be obsessed with her style). More importantly, she is one of Australia’s most talented young actresses, regularly dubbed ‘The Next Margot...

This week we're talking about the horny new HBO series 'Industry', a fave new podcast called 'Bad Gays', and New York magazine's investigation into so-called 'False Memory Syndrome'. Then it's onto our favourite topic: celebrities and Botox, in the wake of Jennifer Lopez's vehement denial that she's had any work done. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hello everyone and welcome to the latest installment in AWD’s #VeryUltra Summer. This week, we’re setting our sights on LA, speaking to one of our favourite people on the internet, comedian Alyssa Limperis. Alongside Jordan Firstman, Ziwe, and Mary Beth Barone, Alyssa’s Instagram content was the saving grace of lockdown—her hilarious videos have earned her more than 100,000 followers, and a covete...

Lots on this week, angels. First up, of course, the Harry styles and Olivia Wilde romance we didn’t see coming. Then, Kimye is over - and there are a lot of rumours about who Kim and Kanye are moving onto next. Apparently, the man Zoe Kravitz left her jareh husband Karl for is no one we guessed (but he is very famous). The Soho Karen went on live TV wearing a ‘Daddy’ hat, Armie Hammer is reportedl...

Hello muffins. This week we’re thrilled to be talking to Kath Ebbs, the Australian model, vlogger, and influencer who has a growing audience of 60,000 followers (and counting) thanks to her sex positive, queer-inclusive social media presence, and her wellness-focused website, Cath Me Kath. We specifically wanted to speak to Kath for our #VeryUltra summer because what she’s doing is, to us, th...

Hello gorgeous’! We're back with our first official episode of the new year, and there's a lot on the slate to discuss. Including: How the Sopranos holds up in 2021, a podcast that has us re-examining our creepy cultural obsession with 'Lolita', and whether 'Bridgerton' the horny Shonda Rhimes period drama, is worth all the hype. Then, we're only a few days into the New Year, but DeuxMoi has alrea...

Hello angels, and a happy new year! This week we’re talking to actual ray of sunshine Charlee Fraser—one of the most successful models to come out of Australia in the last decade. Charlee was scouted within a year of finishing high school, and quickly became a darling of the world of high fashion, walking for (among others) Chanel, Prada, Versace, Valentino and Dior. Plus, she was something of a m...

Hello! This week Izzy has a boatload of recommendations, including but not limited to: Why Eyes Wide Shut is the best Christmas movie; Oscar Pistorius and crazy prison wives; and why Netflix's Jack The Ripper documentary is actually a feminist text. Then it's onto the viral ELLE profile on Martin Shkreli's chaotic girlfriend, Hilaria Baldwin's embarrassing double life as a fake Spaniard, and how S...

This week we're talking to Abbie Chatfield, the most iconic human to come out of the 'The Bachelor' Australia universe, who single-handedly took on the series' weird, conservative attitude toward sex and (as far we see it) won. We talk to Abbie about dating post-reality TV; the mental health tolls constant internet abuse takes on a person; the way reality TV sanctifies insecure women; the 'wifey'...

This episode we’re chatting to the inimitable Sophia Roe. Sophia is a chef and wellness advocate whose entire career is built on the basis that food is inherently political. Her new Vice series, Counter Space, looks at the world’s most pressing political issues through the lens of food, from the innovation of 3D meat in Spain, to how Mexico is tackling deadly diseases by banning overproduced food,...

Hi everyone and welcome back to That Time of the Month. This is our last episode in our three-part series, so we wanted to get down to the nitty-gritty and speak about everything from period sex to the shame surrounding STIs (when they’re so common that 1 in 2 people under the age of 25 who are sexually active would’ve had one), to vagina shame and vulva disparity. 75 per cent of women think that...
