What We Do
Dear Girl Friday is the media platform for Girl Friday, a global affairs agency in Washington, DC. We make the news more accessible through digital content, podcasts, and events.
The Friday Brief Podcast
The Friday Brief with Phoenix Ricks is a calm news podcast that covers U.S. politics and international events. Our motto is “awareness impels action,” so we’ll let you know how you can get involved in solving the world’s toughest challenges.
Bold and Bookish®
We read books that expand our worldview.
Initially founded in 2020, we reimagined our Bold and Bookish® book club in 2025.
We read fiction and non-fiction, and you are always welcome to suggest your favorite titles.
We proudly support independent booksellers by hosting our featured picks on BookShop.
We receive a small commission when you purchase through our BookShop links.
On our radar
On LinkedIn, you can follow our On Our Radar press clips, which include news we’re tracking for Girl Friday’s clients. With a lens on business impacts, we cover everything from legal developments to emerging techologies and civil conflicts.
Geopolitics for Good Newsletter (Coming Soon!)
Girl Friday started with a newsletter. In 2026, we’re coming full circle. We will cover critical global issues and how you can get involved in solving our world’s toughest challenges. Stay tuned! In the meantime, we will keep you updated on Girl Friday’s media and events through our existing newsletter.
