Pictures Animation Tries to Turn the Page at Annecy With Ambitious New Feature Slate<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tGoalhanger, which says it is the U.K.\u2019s fastest-growing private company, co-founded by former England soccer star Gary Lineker and responsible for <em>The Rest Is <\/em>podcast franchise, has launched a three-month creative business incubator in collaboration with social media-savvy personalities.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tEach of them will receive up to \u00a310,000 ($13,400) in content investment to elevate their production standards and experiment with short-form storytelling across entertainment, lifestyle, sport, politics, science &amp; tech, and finance.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe 2026 cohort includes Cody Dahler, a satirist and writer with over 1.5 million followers on Instagram, who is developing The Thicky Thicky Dumb Dumb Search Engine, a new format designed to move beyond traditional explainers through interviews, location shoots and \u201cdeeper comic investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tSophia Smith Galer, a journalist and author with over half a million TikTok followers, who will use The Accelerator to develop <em>English: An Alternative History<\/em>, a five-part short-form series exploring the story of the English language before the empire. \u201cI\u2019m ecstatic to win a spot on [Goalhanger\u2019s] Accelerator,\u201d said Galer. \u201cIt\u2019s going to give me the space and resourcing to make my biggest social media series yet. The one thing lots of creators say is that we lack infrastructure and community, and to see Goalhanger make an investment in us feels like the beginning of something really important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tTom Nicholas is a politics and history video creator who will use the Goalhanger scheme to upgrade and expand his production infrastructure and support the growth of <em>Slow News Days<\/em>, a series focused on breaking news stories and political context. Nicholas currently boasts over 650,000 YouTube subscribers. Nicholas added: \u201cAmid a sea of misinformation, my experience shows there is still high demand for inquisitive, good-faith coverage of current affairs topics, even among younger audiences that legacy broadcasters struggle to engage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAlso selected for The Accelerator is Andrea Valls, an actress and comedy writer with over 160,000 Instagram followers, who will expand her recognizable comedy characters into a vertical, episodic weekly show, as well as Dr Eliza Filby, historian and author of <em>Inheritocracy<\/em>, who will scale a guest-led format called <em>It\u2019s All Relative<\/em>, pegged as an exploration of generational shifts, wealth and social history.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=2300\">How Shanghai Is Reinventing the Movie Theater to Strengthen Its Position as \u201cChina\u2019s City of Film\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tRounding out the creators is Tolly \u2018T\u2019 Shoneye, best known as the founder of the popular <em>The Receipts Podcast<\/em>, who announced with co-host Audrey Indome that they\u2019d be stepping back from the pod earlier this year. Shoneye will build on the success of <em>The Receipts <\/em>with a 10-part mini-documentary following the journal of turning the podcast into a broader, multi-platform content network. She said being selected \u201cfeels like a huge vote of confidence in what I\u2019ve built so far with <em>The Receipts Podcast<\/em> and, more importantly, what I hope for it to become.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe finalists will also be able to access Goalhanger ad inventory across podcast, YouTube, newsletter, and paid media channels to help drive audiences to their content, as well as Goalhanger\u2019s senior editorial, creative and commercial leadership, masterclasses, mentorship and strategic support across audience growth, production, brand partnerships and long-form IP development.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe initiative was \u201chighly competitive,\u201d according to Goalhanger, who received hundreds of applications \u2014 all of which were reviewed by humans. Judges spent just under 100 hours assessing submissions. The selection committee brought together senior Goalhanger leaders and external execs from across the global media and cultural industries, with backgrounds including Spotify, YouTube, Web Summit, WME, Netflix and Amazon.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cGoalhanger has always been built around strong voices, loyal audiences and ideas with real momentum and that is exactly what we saw in this group,\u201d co-founder Jack Davenport tells <em>THR<\/em>. \u201cThe Accelerator is not about handing over a cheque and sending people on their way, nor is it about forcing creators into a Goalhanger template. It is about giving them access to the experience, infrastructure and commercial support we have built, while protecting the thing that made audiences respond to them in the first place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cThey have already done the hardest bit: earning people\u2019s attention and trust,\u201d he added. \u201cOur role now is to help them build on that and turn it into something more durable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=2298\">Shanghai: Three Things We Learned From the 2026 Festival<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A historian and the founder of &#8216;The Receipts Podcast&#8217; are among the inaugural cohort for Goalhanger&#8217;s creator-led initiative, The Accelerator.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2303,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1884,2,98],"class_list":["post-2304","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interesting","tag-goalhanger","tag-international","tag-united-kingdom"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
