After Work Drinks

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 lighter note, Maddison Beer swore at Izzy on the street, Justin Bobby is still so hot it should be illegal, and the hons Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas got hitched <3For all our recommendations and a few lols, follow: @afterworkdrinkspodcast .

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 plenty of amazing listener feedback, we've done a deep dive on The Pill. Why, when so many women have terrible experiences with it, are so many teenage girls prescribed the pill aged 15 and 16? And how do you find the right contraceptive, when the side effects can we so extreme?

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 women's successes are more celebrated than ever, have we lost reverence for the importance of failure? And do we have an obligation to be more open about our own failures?Follow us on Instagram at @afterworkdrinkspodcast and join our private Facebook group, 'After Work Drinks Podcast.'Recommendations:Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl by Carrie BrownsteinLittle Birds by Anais NinWhy I’m Not Playing it Straight - Andrew Scott interview in the Sunday Star TimesCrashing - NetflixA Passionate Breakdown of Justin Bieber’s Style Phases by Eliza Dumais for Man Repeller https://www.manrepeller.com/2019/06/bieber-style.htmlSmashing the Wellness Industry by Jessica Knoll for the NY Timeshttps://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/08/opinion/sunday/women-dieting-wellnessHow to fail - Elizabeth day (book and podcast) Hosted on Acast.

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 with ageing and the woman we seriously can’t get enough of, Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

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 mental health of her alleged killer?

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 abortion laws that exist in New South Wales, and the ongoing debacle in Northern Ireland. Plus – Izzy has a major announcement, which sparks us to talk about the concept of ‘workism’ and how in 2019 our identities are so tied up with our jobs.Donate here to help women in the US afford abortions: https://nnaf.formstack.com/forms/donateRecommendations:Chernobyl (2019) on HBOGore Vidal’s Palimpsest‘Teenage Girls and Dating Violence’ in The New York Timeshttps://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/21/health/teenage-girls-dating-violence.html‘What Book Would You Recommend to Anyone?’ on PrimerDead to Me (2019) on Netflixhttps://primer.com.au/what-book-would-you-recommend-to-anyone/ ‘Vanity is Not A Deadly Sin.

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 hating her all of a sudden? And why are the people we hate always women?Follow us on Instagram at @afterworkdrinkspodcast and join our private Facebook group, 'After Work Drinks Podcast.'Recommendations: The Cut On Tuesdays ‘What If You Regret Becoming A Mother?’https://gimletmedia.com/shows/the-cut-on-tuesdays/z3hg94/what-if-you-regret-becoming-a-momThe Cut on Tuesdays ‘Call Your Mom’https://gimletmedia.com/shows/the-cut-on-tuesdays/39hr82/call-your-momSaving Sex and The City 3https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/saving-sex-and-the-city-3/id1378862255Sinead Burke On Becoming The First Little Person To Attend The Met Gala in British Voguehttps://www.vogue.co.uk/article/sinead-burke-gucci-met-gala'Awards Chatter' Podcast — Keira Knightley ('Colette')https://player.fm/series/awards-chatter-1401973/keira-knightley-coletteGame of ThronesThe O.C.Trainwreck (2015) Hosted on Acast.
