About Eleanor Halls
Welcome to PassTheAux, where you’ll read smart, honest observations on culture and the media from someone who has spent over a decade working inside it.
I’m Eleanor Halls, formerly culture editor at the Telegraph and senior staff writer for British GQ, now a freelance writer, interviewer and co-host of pop culture podcast Straight Up.
Every fortnight I send an essay about the one cultural happening I can’t stop thinking about, plus my favourite things to watch, read and listen to. Below I spell out exactly what to expect from my free and paid-for memberships, and how to get in touch. Glad to have you here!
What you’ll get (free):
📝Original essays: on media, pop culture, and internet trends
💌 Weekly recommendations: the smartest, buzziest, most entertaining things to read, listen to and watch right now
📚 My end of year best-of lists, across TV, film, books and more
