Don't worry, I was going to comment the same!Avatar twins (I think I might already have commented on this once, and therefore sound like a total weirdo )
My heart breaks for her. She broke down on the podcast when talking with her friend the therapist about infertility. I canāt imagine the pain of it, and while I had a grumble about her I feel bad now tbh as if I couldnāt have kids Iād think Iād be too bitter to leave the house. Infertility is so unfair. I know lots of things in life are, but to be denied something as huge as a child & then you to have to live your life surrounded by people talking about their kids seems really hard to me.I used to love love love ED and I still do admire her for her openness about infertility and relationship issues in the pastā¦ but HTF has run its course. It was a brilliant idea and had loads of great episodes, but I havenāt listened for ages as I just donāt care about any of the guests she has now. I hate to say it but sheās starting to really annoy me. I donāt know what it is - perhaps that sheās everywhere these days? I like her as an interviewer - I think sheās very good. And I quite liked Magpie. But her insta personality is irritating.
Itās probs the wrong demographic donāt think 20 year olds listened to the High LowI canāt believe that the person who created this title didnāt do a quick google search to see if the name had been taken?! So sloppy!
Are 20 year olds listening to Emily R though? Who is her target audience?Itās probs the wrong demographic donāt think 20 year olds listened to the High Low
Thatās why Dollyās TV show did NOT reach America on her own connectionnnnnsNeither of them are well known in America. They're not even that well-known here honestly - not household names at all.

Emily R pretends to be a feminist but lives for the male gaze constant naked posed photos, she knows her body is perfectAre 20 year olds listening to Emily R though? Who is her target audience?
same. I think this resonates with a lot of people from humbler beginnings.Itās funny as I used to really intimidated by people like Dolly and Pandora (maybe itās because Iām working class or something) as their references of books and films would always make me feel inferior. I never grew up knowing the works of Joan didion or binged the films of Jean-Luc Godard. I do still like Dolly though.
It wasnāt my world - I was never encouraged to read at home when I was younger but Iām definitely curious and know when something is good. I just find it funny the hype behind everything I know about love the series, it was good but nowhere near as great as it would like to be. In a nutshell I basically couldnāt afford to be that fucked up girl with no money as I didnāt have any parents with money to bail me out so I HAD to make it work haha
I couldnāt afford to intern and wanted to work in the media which has short contracts so my CV was unrelated temp job, media job, unrelated temp job, media jobā¦ I kept getting rejected because āanother candidate had more experienceā- unpaid internships that gave them bigger blocks of experiencesame. I think this resonates with a lot of people from humbler beginnings.
I was never a big partier, Iād never have gotten a taxi to Liverpool, I always made sure to keep afloat, didnāt end up deep in my overdraft.
because I didnāt have the safety net Dolly and her ilk had. If I effed up and spent all my rent money, Iād be homeless. There was no traipsing back to mummy and daddyās nice big house in the burbs with my childhood bedroom and conservatory, knowing this would all be available to me if I needed it, if I missed rent for whatever reason.
even long term thinking; I knew Iād never have the stability of a family home to go back to. My parents would never be able to contribute to helping me buy a house, or towards a wedding. If I wanted stability and nice things, then I understood from a young age that Iād have to work thrice as hard as the dollyās of the world to get them.
Iām middle class now, I own a house. I have a good job and no regrets.
but I could never be irresponsible and carefree and self indulgent the way Dolly etc. Was/is. I could never take risks, I couldnāt afford to sit at home writing a blog in the off chance it would be picked up. A career in writing or in the arts in general was too risky for a girl like me. My choices were always limited; chose a safe career or face instability all your life. It was a non brained. I never ever entertained the possibility of something like writing, or acting, or music. Because as a working class girl that just wasnāt a realistic option for me.
Dolly simply doesnāt understand how her social background has afford her the privileges of freedom, of choice. Of not having to grow up too soon (or indeed, at all). Thatās the difference between working class girls and the Hannahs from suburban north London.
