Ello girlies, final Patreon-oldie but goodie coming up for you before the girls are back next week (with a merch announcement!). Chose this one because although there are a few old bits (a brief chat about Khloe Kardashian having another baby with Tristan Thompson, for example,) we speak a lot about the inner workings of how Love Island manages to capture the nation/world each season (plus, its relationship to fast fashion, the mental health aspect and the influencer pipeline), then how books became a hot girl accessory and, in honour of that, our hot girl book recommendations.

Book recs in order:

Bluets by Maggie Nelson

Mike Nichols: A Life

Anything by David Sedaris - like Me Talk Pretty One Day, Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt

What Artists Wear by Charlie Porter

Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan quartet

Devotion by Patti Smith

What I Loved by Siri Hustvedt

Swing Time by Zadie Smith

A special treat for the girlies! We're releasing one more Patreon-only episode for you to get you through to the end of our summer holiday (back September!). This week, sharing our August 2022 interview episode with Iona David, the creator of our longtime favourite account on Instagram, @beam_me_up_softboi. We discuss the past 10 years of Tinder, how society has changed since we all started online dating, why it is people still feel weird saying they met their partner online, the many softboi categories (and how to avoid them), ghosting and being ghosted, and an unfortunate email.

Iona's book, Is This Love Or Dopamine?: A Deeply Unofficial Study of Dating in the Digital Age is out now.

As you know, throughout this break, new interview episodes are continuing on Patreon, we'd love if you could join us there (but love you either way forever, of course) xxx

In this interview episode we chat to gorgeous, gorgeous girlie, Sex Talks founder Emma-Louise Boynton about her journey towards getting sex therapy, how much your relationship towards sex has to do with yourself (not someone else), figuring out what you like in the bedroom, having situational anorgasmia, annnd the ultimate softboy turned fuckboy encounter in the entire world to date, period.

Proof that manifestation is real: Caroline Calloway has always been on our dream interview list since the pod's very beginnings and a few months ago, we wrote on our doc that we wanted to get her on for our summer break (and that it might be possible because of her new book, Scammer, coming out). Then, in classic fashion, we forgot to email, gave up, and then opened our IG to an unsolicited DM from the woman herself inviting herself onto AWD.  

Coming up: accidentally scamming the girlies, (avoiding) writing books, and, of course, Natalie: that 2019 The Cut piece, female friendships and friend breakups, and.... Amsterdam. This episode went so long we cut it across two weeks. Part 2 next week!

Hello girlies! It's the first week of the AWD summer holidays, catch us drunk on the streets of London and Los Angeles, respectively. We're going to continue posting episodes on here, which are a mixture of a couple of Patreon-only episodes that you wouldn't have heard before and resharing some oldies but goodies from the archives, too. This week, sharing an episode where Issy was hungover and Grace spent the hour filling her in on the scandalous Tina Brown book she read (the very beginning might have some irrelevant news now but promise this is a very, very gripping episode. Bless Grace).

For new content all month, and interviews with some very iconic women, head to Patreon.com/afterworkdrinks. You'll also be abe to pre-order our new merch (don't worry, we promise we'll have enough for you even if you don't subscribe). Love you all and see you when September starts!
