Merry Christmas to everyone except MP Andrew Broad who ruined our week and the phrase 'G'Day Mate' forever with his embarrassing sexting scandal.

After Work Drinks - Just Change The Bloody Date
play

01/29/20 • 46 min

Long forgotten Goop-esque sex workshops and secret Reiki healer qualifications are just the start of this ep, which covers everything from the problem with viral Netflix documentary ‘Cheer’ to debriefing on Betty Dodson, the 90-year-old woman and new AWD mascot who’s taught over 9,000 women how to orgasm. On a more serious note, we speak about the devastating death of Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna and how the media has handled wrestling with the fact that Bryant was a basketball legend and inspiration to millions who was also accused of raping a woman. Plus, Australia Day. Why are we so stubborn about changing the date of Australia’s national holiday when it currently causes so much pain for the country’s indigenous people? We discuss how New Zealand does it better and what we can do to be allies for the cause.

After Work Drinks - Opinion: We Should All Be Less Opinionated
play

07/31/19 • 49 min

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 cementing herself as AWD's Hero of the Week. Plus, why taking a digital detox could be the best thing we ever do, second only to checking our opinions. When did we all start suddenly knowing everything about everything? And what's so bad about sitting on the fence sometimes?

After Work Drinks - A Very Ultra Summer With... Sophia Roe
play

12/19/20 • 53 min

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, and the way political dissent in Hong Kong is directly tied to street food culture. Sophia is infectiously obsessed with food, equality, and racial justice—and has amassed a cool 270,000 Instagram followers with her informative daily Instagram Lives, covering everything from code-switching to spiritual bypassing, and redlining. In May Gigi Hadid had Sophia on her Instagram channel to discuss racial justice, and she has been an endless source of education and inspiration to us both this year. Listen now, and fall in love.

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 we can think about. Finally, we chat about The Cut's episode on pandemic-fuelled burnout—including Esther Perel's insights on how the last 12 months of lockdown has seen us attach more meaning than ever to our work.

After Work Drinks - Is Caroline Calloway Even That Bad?
play

09/12/19 • 53 min

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 that confused us both, and, most importantly, the Caroline Calloway expose written by the Instagram influencer turned scammer's former best friend. Buckle up.

After Work Drinks - It Costs Nothing To Be Kind
play

02/19/20 • 39 min

Grace has discovered an unknown dating show she deems better than 'Love Island' and we briefly explore the term ‘negative self obsession’, before diving into the backlash aimed at Jameela Jamil this week and the awful phenomenon of social media pile-ons. Which brings us to our big topic - Caroline Flack, the British TV presenter who tragically died by suicide this week. Many have dubbed hers a ‘death by media’ or ‘death by trolling’, adding to an ongoing question about how to handle the mainstream media’s reckless harassment of (mainly young and female) celebrities. Where do we lay the blame? And how can we, as individuals, strive to be kinder - both to people in the public eye and the people in our own lives? To investigate, we open up about our own experiences with mental health and depression
