After Work Drinks

Climate change is directly responsible for the severity of the Australian bushfire crisis and if change isn’t made now, the devastation we’re seeing - lives lost, homes destroyed, a billion animals dead - is just a taste of what’s to come. So what do we do? To explain exactly what’s happening to the world, why the Earth’s temperature is rising, how this is going to cause irreversible damage and Au...

As we crack open this bottle of cab sav - simultaneously breaking our ‘dry January’ resolution, we discuss whether our never-ending quest towards self-improvement, something which is never more prevalent than at the beginning of a new year, is actually just making us hate ourselves. Should we throw out our self help books in favour of giving less of a shit? Plus, if our recent digital detoxes are...

We’re going to play the ‘better late than never’ card today regarding one Harry Styles - the man who needs no introduction (apart from to Izzy) and has finally stolen our hearts. Aside from the obvious (his face), we're discussing how men like Harry are setting a new precedent when it comes to style and sexuality and how he and men of his ilk (here's looking at you Timothee Chalamet and Donald Glo...

We're back, baby! After a three week break we're (partially) refreshed and ready for a whole new year of AWD - live from our new digs in London and featuring our brand spanking new theme song. This week we've crammed a lot in: Justin Timberlake's cheating scandal (and the art of the celebrity apology), a conspiracy theory about The Crown season three and an autopsy on *that* Prince Andrew intervie...

Up this week is a very timely discussion about life changes, career moves and redefining success off the back of both of us quitting our dream jobs to pursue new dreams, plus how men’s magazines are changing to stay relevant in a post Me To era and the mummy blogger scandal that proves just how toxic social media can be.  Today’s ep is our last before a three-week break before we kick off yea...

Hello! We're back and we come equipped with a *very* serious AWD announcement. Plus, a  Bachelorette  debrief, why the world is turning on Juuls, your new must-watch TV series and a brief deep-dive into the sexual politics of affairs and cheating. Is is a feminist issue?  As always, please rate, review, subscribe and share and follow us on Instagram @afterworkdrinkspodcast @isabelle...

We are depressingly not recording this episode from a hotel room in Rome (crying), but there's still a lot on the agenda. From how the maid who's selling Lady Gaga's Golden Globes gown via an online auction got her hands on it in the first place (and why the police were involved), to 'the inbetweeners' of the fashion industry - the models who are neither sample, nor plus size - and why we need mor...

Ciao Bellas, reporting to you live from a hotel in Rome where we've had one too many glasses of cheap prosecco and are listening to ABBA. For our special reuninion episode, we're covering everything from 'She Said' (and why Ashley Judd is a massive legend) to Meghan and Harry's latest media blow-out, Caroline Calloway's rogue tell-all interview and a very hectic Lyft story. LISTEN NOW <3 You ca...

The best scandal of 2019 happened right after we recorded our last episode, but we couldn't not talk about #WagathaChristie, AKA the moment when UK WAG Coleen Rooney publicly called out fellow WAG, Rebekah Vardy, for selling stories about her to The Sun in a Pulitzer Prize-worthy tweet. Plus, AWD went viral thanks to one listener's detective work on Liam Hemsworth's new flame, Ellen DeGeneres and...

On the (very varied) agenda this week: a deep dive into Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner’s split (and his probable secret girlfriend), the extreme lengths Harvey Weinstein went to to stop the publication of the 2017 NYT expose and the brilliant work of non-fiction we implore you all to read. Plus, our thoughts on Hailey Baldwin’s wedding dress and Miley’s love life before we get serious again to disc...

AWD is officially 1! For our first birthday, Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin decided to get hitched, so we dissect the snippets of info we have at the time of recording (still waiting on that dress pic, Hailey). Off the back of the climate strikes and Greta Thunberg's incredible UN speech, we talk about people's ridiculous aversion to change and how our all or nothing attitude towards sustainabil...

After a brief (and unplanned, sorry) hiatus, we’re back! First on the agenda, a quick debrief on Milan Fashion Week and Grace’s trip to Shanghai, before we catch up on the (boring) Bachelor finale and the Emmys red carpet. Grace has a few good book and TV recommendations and we’re both OBSESSED with a new podcast that’s being dubbed the female ‘Dirty John.’ Off the back of Tavi Gevinson’s piece on...

Izzy made it to the UK alive, but not without consuming copious amounts of Rescue Remedy due to the UK holding her passport hostage. But a few mimosas later, she lands safely and heads straight from the airport to see Queen Phoebe Waller-Bridge in the flesh for ‘Fleabag.’ This week, we catch up on the New Zealand Netflix rom-com that deserves the opposite of an Oscar, the Adnan Syed documentary th...

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...
