Far-right riots, Dallas cheerleaders and the return of smut

This week on Everything Is Content, we thought it was about time to discuss the Netflix docu-series that everyone has been raving about for the last few weeks - America’s Sweethearts. Does the life of a cheerleader appeal to us - and does the documentary have a dark side? We also take a look at the return of smutty literature - why do we sometimes look down on the genre, and is it about time we read some?

We also check in about how we’re feeling following the week of unrest in the UK. What role has social media played - and how can we look forward to positive solutions?
