Close Friends: The Podcast

In this episode we chat to inspirational strong woman, Jessica, who founded the Instagram account @you.look.like.a.man a few years back to document all of the horrible things that (mostly) men say to (mostly) women on the internet.

Join us for chats about incel culture, whether or not we feel safe on social media and how to navigate trolls and hate online.

As always, best served with a glass (or bottle) of wine and an open mind.

After the recent and terrifying headlines in the UK about drink spiking, this week the close friends share their experiences of the topic. What does ‘spiking’ actually mean? What substances are involved? How can we try and keep ourselves safe, while also changing the narrative to focus on the perpetrators more than the victims?

As always, best served with wine and an open mind.

We can’t express how excited we are to share this week’s episode with you. We sat down with the icon that is Africa Brooke as she chatted with us around the dangers of identity markers, self-censorship, the loss of free-thinking today and her viral letter about leaving the cult of wokeness.

Many juicy thoughts, ideas and concepts were shared - all of which are to give you some food for thought to make your own conclusions. As it should be.

We hope you love this episode, Close Friends.
