Release The Tapes: The Palace Papers

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!
