I never imagined 10 years ago we would be talking about losing a member of One Direction. I'm sure by now we have all heard that Liam Payne has passed away. Directioners all over the world are not doing well. Zayn has postponed his tour and the band has released a joint statement sharing their sadness of losing a friend. Julia Roberts is the narrator for Lisa Marie Prelsey's memoir that was released last week. Jen Shah will be out of prison sooner that we thought. A judge has shortened her sentence by another year. Have you ever been frustrated with an airline? Well Jessica Chastain has some beef with JetBlue and their in flight entertainment. Kim Kardashian has partnered again with Beats, this time with their Beats Pill. Speaking of Kim, Donovan Mitchell is the newest face to appear in a SKIMS campaign. Trisha Paytas is having a Christmas show in Thousand Oaks. She will be singing her Christmas songs along with some of her other songs she's released over her career. Kevin Bacon and his brother performed in Lehi, Utah last week. This is the second time this year he has made a trip to Utah. Shakira had to postpone her concert to find bigger venues. The demand was too high so she now has to perform in stadiums instead of arenas. Tom Brady really likes football. The former football player now owns a minority stake in the Las Vegas Raiders. Sydney Sweeney can now add burglar stopper to her list of achievements after helping police arrest a thief that broke into her neighbors home. And lastly, the greatest song in the entire world, The One That Got Away by Katy Perry, has made its way into the Bllions Club on Spotify where it belongs. Thanks for listening!

In this heartfelt podcast episode, I dive deep into my emotions surrounding Liam Payne and the lasting legacy of One Direction. As an OG Directioner, I reflect on what the band meant to me and many others during our most challenging times. I've gathered thoughts from fellow fans, sharing how 1D's music provided comfort and a sense of community. This is a safe space to grieve, reminisce, and celebrate the positive impact Liam and the boys had on our lives. Let's connect and heal together. #OneDirection #LiamPayne #Directioners #1DFandom #LiamPayneTribute #DirectionerFamily As I have struggled with finding myself in my early 20s I have come to the realization that I am not the only one. So for my girlies who are working to find their purpose, join a girl gang of cuties all working towards becoming our own version of ‘that girl'. New episodes every Wednesday and Sunday!

Protect teenage girls at all costs! This week -- because it IS still this week, we got it in under the wire! -- V and Emily return to the scorched earth battleground of One Direction fandom, but this time, the missiles were launched by the national media of Great Britain. After an offensive, heinous "documentary" about One Direction fans aired on shock-doc specialist Channel 4, even fandoms dedicated to hating 1D (like Justin Bieber fans) backed up Directioners in trying to reclaim their dignity. Yes, it's another episode where V has big feelings about letting teenage girls love stuff messily, but this time we've got QUOTES and SOURCES and DOCTORAL THESIS ABSTRACTS to back up the rage. Do you think mainstream media can ever accurately portray fandom? Have you respected the fourth wall today?

Cuando se trata de nuestras #bandas o artistas favoritos podemos hacer lo que sea y así lo demostraron las #Directioners, los #fans más fieles que se han visto a nivel mundial, incluso superando a los de #TheBeatles. Cuando #OneDirection anunció su “descanso”, millones de corazones quedaron destrozados, esperando el momento para volver a verlos juntos, incluso, en #México se inició una campaña para que la agrupación visitara el país.

In this episode we are talking about  different fandoms, as well as how is it to be part of a fandom. 

World of Warcrafters, LARPers, Settlers of Catan? Weird. Beliebers, Swifties, Directioners? Weirder. Paleos, vegans, carb loaders, ovolactovegetarians? Pretty weird. Mets fans, Yankees fans, Bears fans? Definitely weird. Face it. We're all weird. So why are companies still trying to build products for the masses? Why are we still acting like the masses even exist? Weird is the new normal. And only companies that figure that out have any chance of survival. This book shows you how. Read less

Rolling Stone Senior Writer Brittany Spanos joins DJ Louie for a conversation about British boyband, One Direction. First, Louie and Brittany break down how generational waves of boybands have riffed on a similar formula in their performance styles, musical tropes, and teen fandemonium over the last 50 years. They discuss how One Direction both stands in that lineage and break from it, beginning with their formation on the reality show X Factor, use of newly emergent social media platforms to galvanize their massive stan army, The Directioners, and their aesthetic reliance on rock signifiers rather than American r&b. Louie and Brittany then tackle all of One Direction's albums, the culture of Directioner-ism, trace the heavily referential nods they makes towards moments in rock 'n roll history, common subjects of their songs, the bombshell departure of Zayn Malik, and their impact on both boyband and pop history. Finally, Louie and Brittanny rank One Direction in the official Pop Pantheon. Join the Pop Pantheon Discord Tonight (11/18) at 8PM ET / 5PM PT!

From its inception in September 1987, OHP quickly became popular with its all-request format, along with a heavy rotation of dance music and remixes that differentiated itself from most Top 40 stations or shows

TW: violence, SA, basically everything shitty because that all comes with cults Welcome to Big Water Sign Energy! Sometimes we forget that “followers” has a different meaning. Our episode 61 topic is all about cults; what exactly is a cult? Were we in a cult when we were Directioners? But we realize cults aren't actually a funny thing (revolutionary finding). We talk about the deeper side of things; why people are forced to join, and why they feel like they can't get out, and discuss some of the most well known tragedies.See all you Emotional Wrecks later,Xoxo Dip and TrisDIANA: instagram.com/dianadip_TRISTYN: instagram.com/tristynstudleyPOD: instagram.com/waterenergypod

**CORRECT AUDIO** On January 21, 2016, Louis Tomlinson's son, Freddie Reign Tomlinson, was born. Or... was he?

In 2010, One Direction came only third in TV talent show The X Factor. And yet they went on to become one of the biggest bands in the world. The group went on to have enormous success around the world, selling more than 50 million albums and 25 million singles. In 2015, the band announced an indefinite hiatus and all the members launched solo careers. They also, partly through their canny use of social media, developed a large and passionate fanbase. With much of the band's activity shared and showcased on Twitter and Facebook, Directioners (as the fans are known) cultivated even more intense bonds to the boys, harkening back to the days of Beatlemania or Bowie. This intense fan interaction also propagated a series of increasingly bizarre rumours, stories, fanfic and conspiracy theories concerning individual members that spread online. Why did runners up in a talent show become global chart toppers? Why do they generate such a devoted following? What do Directioners tell us about the nature of fandom today? And did all the social media attention and the online speculation concerning the band eventually do more harm than good?
