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.

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...

Hi! This week we've got a lot on the agenda, including but not limited to: Jessica Simpson's surprisingly fascinating (and dark) life story; the new Netflix documentary charting the 2011 case that lay the foundation for the #MeToo movement; Hugh Grant revealing all the insane shit journalists used to do to him in the '90s on Fresh Air; Sienna Miller randomly talking about Jude Law again. And THEN...

Hello our favourite people in the world and welcome to a brand spanking new episode of AWD. What's on the slate this week? The Michaela Coel x Louis Theroux crossover we didn't know we needed, why we've all misunderstood Courtney Love, and the troubling blind spot in the HBO hit series 'The Undoing'. Then it's on to Lonely Lingerie—once the world's favourite indie intimates label, now embroiled in...

Hello angels and welcome back to the second installment of That Time of the Month, a biweekly three-part series all about womxn's health. A few weeks ago, we asked you some questions about your relationship to your bodies, periods, the pill and your cycle, and this week we're discussing your answers. We also touch on PMS shame and the new movement to make workplaces cater to our hormonal cycl...

Hello angels. We're back and better than ever, discussing super-recent recommendations like Dawson's Creek, which Grace has finally started watching. Naturally, this is cause to revisit the Katie Holmes/Tom Cruise saga of '06, which remains the most chaotic whirlwind romance in Hollywood history. We're also talking about Meghan Markle's New York Times op-ed - aside from bringing to light more awar...

Hello muffins and welcome to a brand spanking new AWD episode. This week, we pay a quick homage to 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy' on its 10 year anniversary, and as Complex crowns it the album of the decade. In short: We miss the old Kanye. Listeners share their own stories of embarrassing stories of love-gone-wrong in your early 20s. Ivanka Trump's former bestie pulled a Natalie and penned a...

Hello, lovely angels! This week we’re bringing you the first of a three-part series all about womxn’s health. For episode one, we’re starting at the beginning: periods. We talk about where we were when we first got our period, how the lack of education and information for young women during that time is damaging and why Grace used to wear pads to school for no reason. Then, class is in session for...

Hello y'all (sorry). We're back and better than ever in our humble tipsy opinion, covering every topic you want to hear about: Porn; Harry Styles wearing a Gucci dress, and Princess Diana. Grace's new podcast recommendation sparks a 20-minute conversation about the ethics of the porn industry. Is it feminist? And does it have to be? Plus, why - when we know so many people watch porn, do we so rare...

Hello favourites, this week we are so excited to bring you our interview with BENEE, the New Zealand music sensation being called 'the next Lorde'. Earlier this year, BENEE's song 'Supalonely' became the TikTok anthem of lockdown, racking up a casual 500 million downloads on Spotify, and earning BENEE nods from the likes of Elton John, and slots on The Ellen Show and Jimmy Kimmel. Now, BENEE is re...

Hello everybody and welcome to the new world order. We recorded this episode the morning after Donald Trump lost the election, and a have a good long chat about politics fatigue, why it's worth celebrating the end of the Trump era, even if you don't like Biden, and why we need to stop calling Trump's 70 million supporters 'stupid'. Then it's onto the equally chaotic US Bachelorette - and how Clare...

Hello muffins. This week we are so excited to bring you our conversation with Bri Lee, author of 2018’s award-winning smash hit book Eggshell Skull. Eggshell Skull documented Bri’s two-year long legal battle to get justice for an assault she experienced as a girl, and explains the many flaws in the Australian legal system, and how they stop victims from seeking justice. Bri, a trained lawyer, has...

In true AWD fashion, this is quite the chaotic episode, which starts with us being emo about lockdown and the incredibly stressful time it’s been, to a quit pivot to the recent COVID-Kardashian antics. We talk about the rumour that Katy Perry is Jonbenet Ramsay, the letter Grace sent Orlando Bloom, the letter Izzy send Hedley Thomas, Em Rata’s pregnancy announcement and Chrissy Teigen’s heartbreak...

Today we discuss the far-from-over Lily James scandal, including new rumours (from someone suspiciously 'close to' Armie Hammer's ex-wife) claiming that she and Hammer had an affair on the set of 'Rebecca'. Is it fair that Lily James is becoming the public's new favourite punching bag? How responsible are women who date married men? Plus, why Phil Collins' ex-wife is staging a literal coup of his...
