My favorite podcast. So many entertainers with podcasts seem to talk about how much they hate tv, can’t get through a film, etc., but you can really feel Marina’s and Richard’s love for all areas of entertainment in this podcast. They feel no need to provide caveats for “high” or “low” culture, they approach every subject with the same level of respect. I really enjoy how humanely they disagree with each other—a trait verging on extinction. I also enjoy how they pronounce almost everything correctly, something you can’t even find in public radio anymore. Very good.

I absolutely love this podcast!! It’s addictive. Richard & Marina are the two perfect hosts for this. I always say that I’m a pop culture fanatic and this gives me everything I want to know. You get all the info on everything from celebrities to tv shows, books, gossip, etc. and because they are in the business, they have all the behind the scenes stuff that I crave!! If you love pop culture as much as I do, this is the podcast for you. I am truly obsessed and I hope this is on for a long time!!

Very much enjoying learning about the entertainment industry from a new perspective. It’s an eye opener to hear about the connections within. Loving the recommendations too, but need more info in the show notes please, directed to the US audience as well as the UK. For instance where can I watch the Ronnie O’Sullivan documentary? Now I really want to watch it, but I can’t find it anywhere! Looking forward to future podcasts. If possible could they be a little less fast paced, even as a Brit I’m having a bit of trouble keeping up with Marina sometimes. Be that as it may, thank you for sharing your insights. I really appreciate it and am looking forward to tuning in for more.
