Everything Is Content

Welcome to your Wednesday dose of content!It’s giving Baywatch meets Taken... Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson met while filming the 2025 reboot of The Naked Gun. For Vogue, Raven Smith writes, Why We're So In Love with Pam and Liam; ‘There’s an overarching feeling like Pamela Anderson is out of fucks. After years of pursuing a manicured perfection, she finally feels at home in her own skin—and she’s got a nice new beau. Life does not end at 58 (duh!), and though Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte are ending their onscreen tale of 50-somethings’ love lives, Pam’s is apparently only beginning… In these uncertain times, Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson’s idyll feels like just what the doctor called for. After decades of sun, sea, and sex tapes, the last showgirl has finally found love.’Neeson is a widower, who lost his beloved wife and fellow actor, Natasha Richardson, in a skiing accident in 2009. Many echo Raven’s sentiment, and are happy to see the silver fox find new love in later life, however, a few are left asking, did we forget what Liam Neeson said in 2019?Six years later can we forgive and forget? Is this another showmance? And how do we feel about this new Hollywood couple? Listen to find out!Thanks so much for listening, and for all of your comments and takes on the topic this week.

We weigh in.And lastly, guess who's back? Well, it seems, a lot of people! Specifically bands.

Happy Friday EICers, settle in we've got some problems to solve...this week on the podcast, we’re talking about the problem with personal essays, and the trouble with wanting men.For The Bookseller, Caroline O'Donoghue wrote a piece titled 'up close and personal: Why are female authors asked to bare their souls to promote their books?'. She writes 'My 25-year-old self wrote about her smear test because she was trying to crowbar her way into an industry that felt like a locked room. Now, at 35, I’m beginning to feel I’m trapped in a room that is locked from the inside.'Why do we not trust women to be as smart and as interesting story tellers as men, why do we need this level of emotional investment in female writers' lives to buy their work?Next up, The Trouble With Wanting Men. In a recent New York Times article of the same name, writer Jean Garnett asks what we as women should do with our desire when so many of find ourselves fed up of dating men. And she looks at this through the lens of “heteropessimism” or “heterofatalism” as it’s now been amended to, which is a term that was coined by sexuality scholar Asa Seresin in 2019 in a piece for the New Inquiry. And in this piece Seresin defines it as such “ Heteropessimism consists of performative disaffiliations with heterosexuality, usually expressed in the form of regret, embarrassment, or hopelessness about straight experience. Heteropessimism generally has a heavy focus on men as the root of the problem.” She goes on to discuss how, though sincere, this feeling most often isn’t accompanied by action, as most women who express it, will continue to date men.We hope you enjoy, as always please do rate & review :) B,R,O xxAND please vote for us in the British Podcast Awards listener nominations hereIn collaboration with CueRuchira's been loving FriendshipBeth's been loving First DatesOenone's been loving Jurassic World RebirthWhy Are Female Authors Asked To Bare Their Souls To Promote Their Books?Where''s The 'You'? - Naoise DolanThe Trouble With Wanting Men Hosted on Acast.

Welcome weary podcast traveller! Time to take a seat, kick off your dusty sandals and voyage with us, your hosts, into the murky land of digital nomad discourse. In a recent piece for The Guardian US, freelance journalist and former digital nomad Emily Bratt explores the less glamourous side of island hopping and beach bar working. She writes: "Somewhere around the midway mark of my most recent six-month trip, something happened. A whisper of a thought began to emerge at the back of my mind. By the final month, it was a pervasive shriek: What am I doing?” And in a world where more and more people are planning to ditch their desk and fixed address, we're forced to ask: is working on the move an F U to capitalism, or is it just the same old slog in slightly shorter trousers? Thank you so much for all of your comments and takes on this topic- they were as thought-provoking, sensitive and honest as always.

Pssst... yes, you, want the latest hot gossip? We've got you covered, happy Wednesday :)Tattle Life describes itself as ‘a commentary website on public business social media accounts which allows commentary and critiques of people that choose to monetise their personal life as a business and release it into the public domain.'They say that they ‘have a zero-tolerance policy to any content that is abusive, hateful or harmful and a team of moderators online 24/7 to remove any content that breaks our strict rules, often in minutes.’And yet, a landmark legal case involving the website concluded with a £300,000 damages award to Neil and Donna Sands, a couple from County Antrim, following their successful defamation and harassment lawsuit. The two-year legal battle unmasked the site’s operator, Sebastian Bond, who had previously concealed his identity under the alias “Helen McDougal.” The Sands couple, who endured prolonged abuse and stalking, argued that the platform promoted hate speech and severely harmed their reputations.Neil Sands, a tech entrepreneur, and his wife Donna, who runs a fashion business, launched the legal proceedings after facing sustained harassment, privacy violations, defamatory content, and breaches of their data rights. Tattle Life, which draws up to 12 million monthly visitors, is known for forums where users comment on influencers, celebrities, and members of the public.Should anonymous gossip websites exist? Will this court case have any real long-term ramifications? Listen to hear our thoughts!Thank you so much for all of your comments and takes as always, O,R,B x Hosted on Acast.

Paging EIC fans, we've got a controversial new extra episode for you... this week we're debating whether casual relationships exist for men and women in 2025.While Carrie Bradshaw made casual dating look easy, breezy (cover girl), why are women all around us struggling to enjoy the romantic fruits of this arrangement? We read a brilliant Substack that posited many are confusing 'casual' with complete nonchalance and lack of care instead. We get into the weeds of it all and share our own experiences of dating in this episode, along with your insightful thoughts.You can read her piece here!If you like this or any other episode could you please, please, please (à la Sabrina Carpenter) gift us a review on your podcast player app. Also if you fancy joining in in these episodes, give us a follow on IG at @everythingiscontentpod <3 Hosted on Acast.

A literary phenomenon' by Mail on Sunday and “a beautiful story and a reminder that humans can endure adversity' Stylist.
