Hosts are both charming, knowledgeable and straight talking on all things entertainment. Natural rapport between both too

Topical banter with personality & punch

So funny, so interesting, and such a joy. My favourite podcast by far. Thank you Richard and Marina

Simply the best

Although I do not watch much television, I like Richard Osman's books, so decided to give this a try. I do enjoy this overall but Marina Hyde seems determined to say everything as quickly as possible - I believe the word is gabbles... It makes listening to her both distracting and stressful.

That said, if you like television, music, theatre, books, this is an interesting listen, but I don't listen to any other podcast in which a presenter seems so determined to say as much as possible as quickly as possible. If she slowed down, it would be much more listenable.

Richard and Marina are the best; wonderful chemistry (platonic), always insightful, interesting, fun, and thought-provoking. I love the frequent ’insider’ glimpses into TV, journalism, writing, and movies.

Balanced, funny, clever, and entertaining

Really like both presenters work so knew this would be good. Really interesting insight into how the entertainment industry ticks.
