A Very Ultra Summer With... AJ Clementine
Hello angels. In our last installment of our #VeryUltra summer (we're heartbroken too), we’re thrilled to be talking to Tik Tok sensation—830,000 followers and counting—and trans activist AJ Clementine. AJ began her career on Youtube, offering a raw and vulnerable depiction of her own experiencing transitioning. Now, she's one of the most formidable emerging forces in the Australian media, working with the country's biggest fashion and beauty brands, including being the first trans model to front an underwear campaign for Bonds. We talk to AJ about the pitfalls of having such a prolific online presence, what it's like to have the internet obsess over your relationship, how important it is to have healthy depictions of transness in pop culture, among many other things.

A Very Ultra Summer With... Mavournee Hazel
Hello angels. In the latest installment of our #VeryUltra summer, we’re talking to the talented, wonderful Mavournee Hazel. Mav is, to us, the definition of ‘Very Ultra’—firstly, just, aesthetically (if you’re one of her 90,000 Instagram followers you’ll already be obsessed with her style). More importantly, she is one of Australia’s most talented young actresses, regularly dubbed ‘The Next Margot Robbie’. That’s, in part, because she had a three-year stint on Neighbours, and has recently broken out on her own starring in the critically acclaimed Aussie drama series Halifax: Retribution. Refreshingly, Mavournee says her sights aren’t necessarily set on cracking it in Hollywood—she has a long-time love of the Australian film and TV, and is passionate about supporting the local industry. She’s also an advocate for diversifying our media landscape, and—inspired by the likes of Phoebe Waller-Bridge—has aspirations to produce and direct projects about complicated female characters. Mavournee is hilarious, a total open book, and extremely candid about her own mental health struggles—we absolutely adored this conversation and can’t wait for you to listen.

Hello everyone and welcome to the latest installment in AWD’s #VeryUltra Summer. This week, we’re setting our sights on LA, speaking to one of our favourite people on the internet, comedian Alyssa Limperis. Alongside Jordan Firstman, Ziwe, and Mary Beth Barone, Alyssa’s Instagram content was the saving grace of lockdown—her hilarious videos have earned her more than 100,000 followers, and a coveted spot on New York Magazine’s round-up of 2020’s most influential comedians. Alyssa’s specialty is dark comedy, often mining the worst periods in her life—including struggles with disordered eating and the death of her father—and spinning them into nuanced, poignant, hilarious comedy skits. We talk to Alyssa about how social media is ushering in a new school of comedians, learning to cope with constant rejection, learning to find humour in life’s hardest moments, and, most importantly, why comedians always date other comedians. We know you’re going to love it.This episode is bought to you by our friends at Ultra Violette, who has partnered with After Work Drinks for the whole summer.

Then, Kimye is over - and there are a lot of rumours about who Kim and Kanye are moving onto next. Apparently, the man Zoe Kravitz left her jareh husband Karl for is no one we guessed (but he is very famous). The Soho Karen went on live TV wearing a ‘Daddy’ hat, Armie Hammer is reportedly a cannibal, and then it’s over to the storming of the US Capitol, Trump's social media ban, and *that* Vogue cover of Kamala Harris.You can follow us on Instagram: @afterworkdrinkspodcast, @grceoneill, @isabelletruman, or join our closed Facebook group, After Work Drinks Podcast.

A Very Ultra Summer With... Kath Ebbs
Hello muffins. This week we’re thrilled to be talking to Kath Ebbs, the Australian model, vlogger, and influencer who has a growing audience of 60,000 followers (and counting) thanks to her sex positive, queer-inclusive social media presence, and her wellness-focused website, Cath Me Kath. We specifically wanted to speak to Kath for our #VeryUltra summer because what she’s doing is, to us, the definition of being Very Ultra—aside from using her considerable platform to speak candidly about her mental health battles and how her relationship with food and wellness has helped her manage crippling anxiety, Kath is best known for her work rallying the Australian government to make sex education queer-inclusive. We speak to Kath about how an inclusive sex education would have transformed her life as a teenager, her decision to stop drinking aged 18 (and how to ward off inevitable comments and judgement if you want to do the same), making your relationship work in quarantine, and how she's learned to redefine 'wellness' on her own terms.As always, please rate, review, and subscribe—and you can follow Kath on Instagram, or visit her website here.We are so happy you guys are loving the #VeryUltra summer so far, please remember to keep sending in your best Very Ultra moments to win a skincare prize pack from Ultra Violette (email [email protected] with your voice note)—and that you get 10% off your next order, all summer long, by entering AWD10 at the checkout.
