Goalhanger to bring advertising sales and sponsorship in-house

Published by Sam Flores

Goalhanger ‘The Rest Is’ producer Goalhanger is creating an in-house advertising sales operation offering partnerships across audio, video, social media, newsletters, live events and branded content.  The move away from relying on deals put together by external agencies comes as the production company reported sales of £38m in 2025 and said it is on track to reach one billion full-episode views and streams in 2026. Goalhanger director of commercial operations Josh Akers said: “We’ve been building out our in-house commercial capabilities across partnerships, delivery and creative production over the recent years to give us greater ownership of our revenue, building closer relationships with our media agency and client partners. That enhanced infrastructure will be pivotal in supporting this next phase of the business’s growth.”  Commercial deals have included incorporating hosts asking questions to Google Gemini on The Rest is Football and actor Tom Holland being interviewed by The Rest Is History host Tom Holland as part of a commercial deal with NBC Universal to promote film The Odyssey.  Head of partnerships at Goalhanger Charlotte Robbins said: “Brands …

Cycle-Tracking Apps Bring Substantial Risks to Users, Says New Analysis

Cycle-Tracking Apps Bring Substantial Risks to Users, Says New Analysis

Published by skeptic

It’s been estimated that about 50 million people worldwide use apps to track their menstrual cycles, associated mental and physical symptoms, fertility and pregnancy. However, a new analysis published in the peer-reviewed medical journal The BMJ on Wednesday argues that the risks associated with these apps and other digital cycle-tracking tools on the femtech market do more harm than good.  The authors of the article say that these risks extend to digital menstrual cycle-tracking tools that promote “cycle syncing,” which is when one bases their diet, exercise and other lifestyle habits on their menstrual cycle phases.  “We hope that people understand a lot of the big, splashy claims around cycle tracking and cycle syncing that people encounter on social media or in fitness or wellness spaces are not based on scientific evidence,” Katharine Lee, one of the article’s authors and an assistant professor in Tulane University’s Department of Anthropology, told CNET in an email.  The health risks Drawing on several studies, the analysis states that sports science research has shown there is no way to …

What Happens When You Bring an Anti-Data-Center Activist to a Data After Dark Party?

What Happens When You Bring an Anti-Data-Center Activist to a Data After Dark Party?

Published by Sam Flores

When we enter PubKey, also known as the Bitcoin bar cofounded by crypto enthusiast Thomas Pacchia, we quickly realize that everyone is dressed much better than us, the men in crisp suits with baseball caps that say “Let Data Reign” and the women in slinky silk dresses and kitten heels. We walk past a DJ and a large screen playing an endless loop of Tony Stark, Ana de Armas as the platonic ideal of an AI girlfriend in Blade Runner 2049, and stylized shots of blinking servers. On the dance floor, it’s a ratio of six men to one woman. We duck into a side room—a macho “whiskey bar” with leather couches and a large American flag—and strike up a conversation with Neeraja Deshpande⁠, a conservative writer who tells us she’s concerned by what she sees as the prevailing national sentiment that “growth and human flourishing are at odds with each other.” “It’s not just an imaginary thing that’s happening,” Frazier McCollum responds. She cites studies that show Maryland could face rolling blackouts due to …

Bring me vampires | Radio Times

Add The Reluctant Vampire to your watchlist Eric Morecambe was the man whose TV work brought sunshine to millions. But when he embarked on a late second career as a children’s writer, things took a more… nocturnal turn. “He’d always been fascinated by vampires,” recalls Eric’s son Gary, whose memory of his father from the time –bashing away at an old typewriter, pipe clamped between his teeth – is gratifyingly on-brand. “He loved Bela Lugosi and Christopher Lee in the Dracula films, so that’s why he chose the subject.” Now, almost half a century on, the book wot Eric wrote – 1982’s The Reluctant Vampire – has been transformed into a sitcom, with fang-sharp scripts by Neil and Rob Gibbons (brothers best known for spending the past 16 years giving peevish voice to Alan Partridge). For executive producer and ex-BBC head of comedy Shane Allen, who first discovered Morecambe’s book as a child, it’s the culmination of a lifelong dream. “My main worry was, ‘You’ll never get a child actor to pull this off,’” Allen …

8 Habits Kids Raised By Parents Who Didn’t Tolerate Whining And Disrespect Bring Into Adulthood

Kids who learn respect at home grow into more generous, happy adults. It’s not just from their parents modeling respectful behavior. They often learn from being held accountable and taking ownership of their feelings. And the kinds of habits kids raised by parents who didn’t tolerate whining or disrespect bring into adulthood set them up for success. Habits kids take into adulthood when they’re raised by parents who didn’t tolerate disrespect and whining 1. They take action if they complain PeopleImages | Shutterstock When kids didn’t have parents who tolerated whining, they know how to stop their complaining before it spirals into contagious negativity. They take ownership and figure things out on their own, without having to vent or complain about the same things over and over again. Venting is something good for us, but when it happens without any kind of accountability or follow-ups, we often stay stuck in a state of negativity that’s not good for anyone.

Angelina Jolie hasn’t either. But the events of that September 2016 trip from France to Los Angeles are subject to bitter online consternation to this day. In court documents after she filed for divorce in 2016, Jolie accused Pitt of physical and emotional abuse on board the flight, which Pitt denied. He was later investigated and cleared by multiple agencies. Pitt, meanwhile, has accused his ex-wife of alienating their six children against him, which Jolie has denied. It has now been a decade since the pair’s high-profile split, which brought to a sudden end a union that had previously made Pitt and Jolie Hollywood’s premiere golden …

What Women Over 50 Bring Up Most In Sex Therapy

What Women Over 50 Bring Up Most In Sex Therapy

Published by Sam Flores

Sex during the menopause can be a time of rediscovery for some, as changes like vaginal dryness and decreased sensitivity begin. But, as the NHS says, the idea that your sex life dies out after your hormones shift is a “myth”. Sexologist, relationship therapist, and author at Passionerad, Sofie Roos, told us that the women she sees in their 50s and beyond bring a wide range of topics to her door. Here are just some of the concerns she regularly hears from this group, as well as what to do if you’re dealing with them: What do women over 50 bring up most often in sex therapy? 1) Changes in desire Lower libido is common among menopausal and postmenopausal women, though hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can sometimes help. “It’s so common to experience lower sexual desire as you get older… due to hormonal changes and the menopause, but also because you’re experiencing stress, lack of sleep, relationship problems, or are on medications,” Roos told us.  Often, she added, it’s down to a combination of multiple factors. And, the sexologist …

Kids Who Grew Up In A Dirty House Usually Have 7 Hobbies That Bring Them Joy As Adults

Published by Jenni Sidey

A messy home can create stress and chaos for both parents and their kids as they grow up. A messy home environment can really impact the mentalities that kids bring with them into adulthood. Sometimes, the effects are insidious, but other times, there are hobbies that commonly make these kids a lot happier in adulthood.  Kids raised in dirtier homes often have these joyful hobbies as adults: 1. Organizing their closets Anna Stills | Shutterstock Many kids who grew up in disarray at home end up as overly clean adults. They find joy in taking control of their organizational skills, largely because they felt powerless and helpless at home with parents who never kept up with anything. Cleaning can be a coping strategy for internal stress and heavy emotions, so it’s often healthy later in life for these people to find balance with their cleaning routines. Yes, there’s a level of perfectionism that can create stress if they need everything to be 100% clean all the time, but as a hobby they enjoy when they …

Hurricane Nolo expected to bring heavy rain as it skirts Hawaii’s Big Island

Hurricane Nolo expected to bring heavy rain as it skirts Hawaii’s Big Island

Published by Sam Flores

Kala, the South Point resident, is preparing for Nolo by “moving everything away from the houses, tying things down, making sure that everything is hosed up and taped up as best as we possibly can.” Nolo will bring periods of heavy rain that will continue across the Big Island and Maui over the weekend, and could trigger life-threatening flooding and mudslides, especially in steep terrain across eastern and southern portions of both the Big Island and Maui, the hurricane center said. Nolo is forecast to dump 8 to 12 inches of rain on the eastern and southern parts of the Big Island, with maximum amounts up to 16 inches. Western portions of the Big Island could see 1 to 3 inches of rain, with maximum amounts of 6 inches. Meanwhile, Maui could see 4 to 6 inches, with maximum amounts of 8 inches, the National Hurricane Center said. The rest of Hawaii will experience smaller rainfall totals, but isolated flooding is possible. Nolo could also bring large and damaging waves along portions of the Big …

Should you bring iced coffee to a job interview? Question brews generational debate

Should you bring iced coffee to a job interview? Question brews generational debate

Published by Sam Flores

What started as a conversation about job interview tips online escalated into a generational debate over whether it’s taboo to show up with an iced coffee to talk to a potential employer. The discourse over the caffeinated beverage gained momentum on TikTok this week after a creator, who goes by @caitlinrecruiter on the platform, shared a video in which she said she believes “when you show up with an iced coffee or an iced latte that this interview is just a stop on your list of errands for the day.” “It looks a little too casual to me,” she said in the video, which she posted Sept. 16. Caitlin Wehniainen, whose profile states she has 16 years of recruiting experience, has just over 1,000 followers on TikTok. But in the last week, her video has been clipped and recirculated by dozens of creators online, who engaged in a heated back-and-forth about whether she’s right. The divide seemed to primarily be between younger and older users — with the former group suggesting Wehniainen’s tip “makes no …
