After Work Drinks

Welcome back to After Work Drinks. This week we're talking about the Netflix show that had us both gripped and reminiscing about that one time Izzy made Grace go to the beach. Plus, the big topics: Can we ever really achieve work/life balance? (Or, the Arianna Huffington vs. Elon ‘I-Work-120-Hours-Per-Week’ Musk debate) plus, the Shitty Men in Media list, good or bad? And how the bathrooms at Brown University provided the first list over 20 years ago.

It’s that time again! Pour a glass of wine and pull up a chair, this week we’re debriefing on that outrageous ’Bachelor’ finale, what Bridget Jones would think of her diaries in the post #MeToo era and whether being angry about Brett Kavanaugh’s appointment - and in general - is helping or hindering the cause.
