“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.

“There’s some interesting information and fascinating facts in there, but to hear these two privileged people (a blueblood and a fantastically wealthy author who’s work is about to be turned into a major movie) on the one hand lecture us about the evils of capitalism and conservatism, and on the...”Read full review »

“MARINA, STOP TALKING SO FAST. Changed my rating to 3 stars because of you. You sound so chaotic bloody hell, you can’t form a sentence without changing your line of thought half way though. Exhausting…. Old review here> The main reason for my five-star rating is Richard. I absolutely love his...”Read full review »

“I love Goalhanger podcasts - they’re so well thought out. Marina Hyde is brilliant. Richard Osman is two dimensional and lowers the tone. His insight is shallow and cynical. I hope they replace him with someone more thoughtful with interesting views. As a side, he was known to be a bully at...”Read full review »

“I started off loving this but I’m getting fed up of Marinas constant political comments / lecturing - it’s not a politics show.
Richard has great insights into TV and obviously loves the industry but sometimes he needs to be critical - or at least not overly fawning about shows.
And as many...”Read full review »

Listening to how wonderful everything and everybody is does pall a bit after a time. His insights into the behind-the-scenes stuff is...”Read full review »

“Discovered this a few weeks ago, and quickly devoured the back catalogue!
I nearly didn’t listen to it at all, the title (I get why it is what it is) and the artwork really evoke ideas of Hollywood gossip, which isn’t really my bag.
I was pleasantly surprised to hear really in-depth technical...”Read full review »

“Great listening but Marina needs to slow down at times. Very often she even sounds like she’s running out of breath during her one hundred miles a minute monologues.
I often have to rewind and replay at slower speed to make sense of what she’s saying.
Have a word with her please Richard.”

“Great show but sometimes it’s hard for Marina to get a word in edgeways, which is a shame because she has great insights and is funny. Richard is growing on me but still too many long monologues go on a bit and…too much Gladiators (sometimes feel like I’m stuck in my 1980s childhood).”

“Makes me wonder how literate are some of the people who work for the podcast.
They have spelled ´intact’ as ´in tact’ in one of the episode’s description.
Immediately,this makes an unpleasant impression.”

“The BBC cravenly advertise their own shows on their own service. People are bullied under threat of criminal penalty, to purchase a licence to fund them, if they want to watch television. Regardless of whether they ‘consume’ the BBC. That’s not the behaviour of ‘Aunty’ It’s the behaviour of an...”Read full review »
