After Work Drinks

Last week's MTV VMAs marked 10 years since Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech, kicking off the celebrity feud of the decade. After Izzy rewatched the footage and Grace read a new T Swift profile, we discuss the whole drama, and examine how Taylor Swift, a decade on, may still be missing the point. Plus, is everyone except us and Kirsten Dunst intermittent fasting? She is our n...

This week we bring you a very special episode, in conversation with the brains behind our favourite Instagram account. Chelsea Fairless is a legend - as one half of @everyoutfitonsatc she has created a pop culture phenomenon, responsible for everything from #WokeCharlotte to those ‘We Should All Be Mirandas’ tees. This week she's in the studio to discuss all things ‘Sex and the City’ - who had the...

A lot has happened this week and we're diving in headfirst. On the wholesome content front, Gigi Hadid had another date with that  Bachelorette  contestant. On the sad news front, Liam Hemsworth and Miley Cyrus announced they are divorcing a mere six months after tying the knot. Equinox's founder threw a Trump fundraiser and sent the Los Angeles crowd into meltdown - but it's his work wi...

We're back! And deep-diving on love and relationships. In an era where the week's talking points usually boil back to either 'The Bachelor', 'The Bachelorette' or 'Love Island', what does our insatiable appetite for relationship content say about us? Plus, the Netflix documentary that confirms our worst fears about data abuse and privacy breaches, Izzy gets her aura read and Grace is hungover from...

It's that time again! Ahead of 'The Bachelor' mania kicking off in Australia, we briefly discuss why it is that we end up hating all former Bachies and why 'The Bachelorette' is never as good. Speaking of reality TV, Lena Dunham wrote a brilliant piece for 'The Guardian' about 'Love Island' and 'The Bachelorette' USA admitted she actually got it on not two, but four times in a windmill, firmly cem...

Good morning to everyone except the sleazy photographers sliding into women's Instagram DMs! On the agenda today, the 'Big Little Lies' finale, how we both got scammed and a new podcast we think you'll love. PLUS, a model's Diet Prada-backed accusations against a prolific celebrity photographer have rattled Hollywood, leading Kim Kardashian and Ariana Grande to speak out. The case goes to show how...

You know that recent 'Bachelor' Australia clip that went viral showing Matt the astrophysicist say his profession and the contestant responding with, “I’m a Gemini”? Yep, that’s basically us trying to understand WTF Mercury in retrograde means and how to avoid wrecking everything while the planet does its thing - humour us while we investigate. Plus, How to Survive An Earthquake 101, the popular r...

We've got lots of interesting topics to tuck into this week. Ivanka's awkward interaction at the G20 (why?) is the gift that just keeps giving; Gwyneth Paltrow staged a GOOP festival with 'Fyre' undertones in London and we psycho-analyse the unexpected presence of a fedora at the christening of Archie Mountbatten-Windsor. Big topic: Booksmart: Olivia Wilde's directorial debut, which comes out TODA...

Off the back of the literal PRESIDENT using the excuse of a woman not being his type as proof he didn't rape her and the lack of media coverage covering E. Jean Carroll's accusations in the first place, we take another look at the story that should've gripped the world... but didn't. What happens we stop caring about credible rape accusations? And has anything even changed post Me Too? On a lighte...

Hello hello! This week Grace gives a full Royal Ascot debrief (yes, Kate is that beautiful IRL) and Izzy has a chance encounter with our new favourite quasi-celebrity in a Hollywood Pilates class. We break down the unexpected dark side of the crystal industry; two new must-watch TV shows, and briefly discuss E. Jean Carroll's harrowing Trump rape allegations (more on that next week). Based on plen...

In a cruel twist of fate, this week Grace is in London - to attend an event with Kate and Wills - and Izzy is in LA - eating tacos. This week comes complete with an unexpected erotica recommendation (guess who from), the latest of Izzy's LA escapades (Pamela Anderson makes an appearance) and why you should never watch Fleabag with your Dad. Plus, we do a deep dive on failure: In an era where...

Izzy talks us through her attempt to relive her youth at a music festival in Spain, which resulted in her ending up in the same bedridden state as Grace, who’d just had a serious surgery (spoiler alert: her voice is the same). On the agenda this week, we talk about Irina Shayk’s iconic Breakup Day Out, the response to Madonna likening her New York Times profile to being raped, society’s obsession...

Hi guys! This week we are thrilled to welcome Mel and Josie from All Aussie Mystery Hour, the (second) best true crime podcast in the world. We talk to Mel and Jose about true crime and mental health – is it good or bad for us? As the hosts of one of Australia’s top true crime and mystery podcasts they’re especially well-equipped to discuss. Plus, we have a D&M about working with your bestie – the...

Izzy’s moved to London and has already figured out where David Beckham, Jude Law and Hugh Grant live and she has a bunch of great recs after a horrific 30-hour flight (which, despite two premonitions from Anton, didn't crash). This week saw another horrific death, as Melbourne woman Courtney Herron was murdered in a park - a story we've heard all too many times before. Are we right to discuss the...

This week is a bumper special tackling the one issue everyone (not just women!) should be talking about this week: Abortion rights. As Alabama passes the most restrictive abortion laws in the United States as a direct attack on Roe v. Wade, we speak directly to YOU, our listeners, about how access to safe and affordable abortion has impacted your life. We also look at the surprisingly restrictive...

We’re back, baby. Delusionally tired from a week of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia, and ready to rag on the new season of 'Game of Thrones'. This week, what it feels like when street style photographers refuse to photograph you, how 'GoT' lost its way in season eight, what the third SATC movie should've covered, baby Archie's name, and a rogue conversation about Amy Schumer. Why did we start...

What a week it's been! From surprise celebrity weddings to a quick sojourn to Paris and a royal baby, we have a lot to debrief on. Oh, and there was *that* Game of Thrones episode. But we're really here for one reason and one reason only: Met Gala. Izzy and Grace take out their fashion commentator hats and do an in-depth analysis of the red carpet. Best Met Gala ever? Follow us on Instagram at @af...

It turns out Grace isn't the only one who can't play sport to save her life and thanks to a few listener's hilarious childhood stories she's feeling better about *that* basketball incident. We have a few incredible true crime documentary recommendations and Izzy's obsessed with this crazy sex cult called NXIVM, which attracted millionaires and celebrities with the founders currently going through...

Kanye suggested it months ago in a ye olde Twitter rant and now Instagram is considering removing how many likes you get on images, which could result in the influencer apocalypse and free the rest of us from the dopamine like cycle for good. Plus, is asking for help the real secret to success? And in recent years, the term ‘having it all’ has been redefined, broken down and dismissed, so why are...

‘Intuitive eating’ is the new buzzphrase taking over the wellness industry, but unlike other fad diets, this philosophy is something we can actually get behind. Off the back of our new attempt at body neutrality, we talk about our relationships with food, dieting and body image growing up, plus the effect Instagram has and the world’s ridiculous notion that overweight automatically equals unhealth...

We're in an era where women value their independence even more than ever - but we're still collectively as obsessed with marriage as we ever have been. Why? Izzy and Grace discuss the role of marriage in 2019 - is it even relevant anymore? What's the point? Are we just doing it for Instagram? Plus, a full debrief on meeting Kendall Jenner - and why there's still no mania like Kardashian mania. To...

With the rise of the 'attention economy' and food, shopping, men and, well, literally everything a mere button away - we've all become impatient psychopaths. Or at least that's how Isabelle and Grace feel anyway. How much of patience has to do with being in control? And how is our lack of it affecting everything from our relationships to our mental health? Plus, Jacinda Ardern's response to the Ch...

Isabelle is back from Africa where she had an obnoxiously luxe few weeks (and met a racist named Lindy). We talk Elizabeth Holmes - the scandal everyone can't seem to get enough of. And in the wake of another ambition-gone-wrong tale, we question: Is ambition overrated? And are we working ourselves to death out of fear not doing so is going to let the feminist side down? Plus, a deep-dive on the M...

Surprise! It’s an early edition of After Work Drinks this week because let’s be honest, there’s nothing we’re going to want to talk about more than the Michael Jackson documentary (and shocking allegations of abuse in Leaving Neverland). Unlike R. Kelly’s ‘Ignition’, it feels futile and impossible to try and ban or remove Michael Jackson’s music so, if we believe Wade and James, how do we move for...

This episode our long awaited debrief of ~the~ celebrity interview of 2019 is here (It's irony people! That was obviously the Biebers). Grace is still espousing Konspiracy theories – but overall we’re just kind of bored of all this Kardashian business. Is 2019 the year we official stop karing about them altogether? Plus, Johnny Depp is suing Amber Heard for $70 million and it has, strangely, ignit...
