After Work Drinks

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 Crawley blew up the whole series for a man named Dale. And, honestly... same. We do a deep dive on Camille Charriere's essay for Harper's BAZAAR on falling in love in your 30s - especially appreciating how honest she was about how batsh*t crazy 20-something girls act when they're in love. We talk about the many ways relationships are better (and easier) when you have more world experience, then shoot the shit on love languages. As always, rate, review and subscribe - and we'll see you again on Wednesday.

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 also been an outspoken advocate for changing Australia’s strict defamation laws, arguing that they are holding our country back from a much-needed #MeToo reckoning. We talk to Bri about rape myths, the Geoffrey Rush and Dyson Hayden cases, about body image and the Australian fashion industry, and about an unspoken narrative that should have surrounded Amy Winehouse.

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 heartbreaking letter about pregnancy loss. Before it’s over to ADHD. Our talented friend Noelle wrote a viral piece for The Guardian this week detailing her ADHD diagnosis in her 30s, after years of trying to figure out why she couldn’t live like other humans do. Noelle writes about how ADHD masks itself in women and calls those who suffer from the same symptoms ‘the lost girls.’ We were lucky enough to get her on the pod to discuss how her condition was missed for so long, what the traits are that other women should look out for, and how her life has changed since her diagnosis.

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 Los Angeles mansion; why Sofia Coppola's new movie 'On The Rocks' kinda sucks, and dissecting the complicated legacy of Man Repeller, which announced its closure this week. Then, for those few who are interested, Grace and Zach do a short deep-dive ahead of the US election next Tuesday, and attempt to answer the question on everybody's minds: Will Donald be re-elected?You can follow us on Instagram: @afterworkdrinkspodcast, @grceoneill, @isabelletruman, or join our closed Facebook group, After Work Drinks Podcast.

Hello gorgeous listeners. We’re very excited for this week’s episode with the truly brilliant Liv Little. Liv is the creator and former editor of gal-dem, a magazine created exclusively by women and nonbinary people of colour. gal-dem is a rare print magazine success story, building a cult audience while simultaneously helping to change up the UK’s wildly white media landscape (94% of British journalists are white). Liv, who launched the mag when she was only 21, has been listed as one of the BBC’s 100 most influential women in media, as well as a Forbes’ 30 under 30. As she announces a major career pivot (she announced she’s stepping down as editor and CEO in September) we talk to Liv about the future of print media, how to balance being ‘nice’ with being a boss, and how to be a CEO in your early 20s. Happy listening ❤️ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

After we left you all last week, the wild Dominic West drama unfolded in truly unexpected ways, including a random paparazzi shoot that literally no one asked for and more people spilling the tea on his time with Lily James in Rome. Then, a story that almost tops the listener who drove 11.5 hours for a quarantine bous; a ghosting template everyone can use after a date; Grace’s worst Tinder story, and whether using thirst traps for political causes is effective. Plus, friend of the pod Chloe Swarbrick's historic electoral win in New Zealand, actual teenager Billie Eilish being body shamed and Audrey Gelman’s long-awaited, slightly embarrassing The Wing apology.

Hello our favourite humans on planet earth and welcome to another episode. This week, Izzy's fleeing from fighting Karens on the tube, Grace is continuing to set fire to things, and we reminisce about an iconic man named Adam. Then, it's onto mindless celebrity gossip: Why is Kourtney Kardashian pulling a T-Swift/Tom Hiddleston with 20-year-old TikTok star Addison Rae? Who is the iconic celebrity hanger-on called Shiraz, and why is he facilitating D-list celebrity gossip during the pandemic? Who is Harry Jowsey again? Then it's onto some actual gossip: Lily James was spotted pashing actually-married man Dominic West. We discuss the legacy of the 'other woman' trope in Hollywood (career-ruining?) and how internalised misogyny is playing out in James' comments section, before arguing about whether or not Dominic West is hot (he is). Then it's onto romance: We're six months into the pandemic, how has it effected the way we date? Izzy gives us a firsthand account of the basic problem at the heart of online dating: Anyone who looks good on Tinder, probably sucks in real life. Speaking of Tinder, Four Corners just released a shocking report highlighting Tinder's negligence in keeping abusive men off their app. It's a hugely-disturbing must watch. THEN, onto Emily in Paris - why does everyone hate Darren Star's silly French comedy so much?You can follow us on Instagram: @afterworkdrinkspodcast, @grceoneill, @isabelletruman, or join our closed Facebook group, After Work Drinks Podcast.
