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.
The Friday Brief Newsletter
The Friday Brief newsletter is where it all started. We cover critical global issues that are not always at the top of the U.S. news cycle. Join our newsletter mailing list and we will keep you updated about our events, too.
