“This used to be a great pod, but just recently I have noticed Marina and Richard constantly talking over one another.
Some of the editing is really poor as well and when listening on headphones, you can clearly hear the cutting and splicing, which is also pretty annoying.
Final gripe is the...”Read full review »

“Two great presenters who obviously respect each other hugely, good honest opinions (sometimes brutally honest), great humour and unbeatable credibility and knowledge of the industry…Goal hanger keep doing it with the entire ‘The Rest is…’ range.
Absolutely love it!”

“Osmar and co-host have wonderful insights into television production and entertaining critique. The music at the end is twice the volume of the rest of it. ( Why do podcasts do this ? )”

“Most of us these days watch more tv and movies (ok, maybe not at the cinema) and this podcast reveals a lot of how it all works and answers questions I didn’t know I wanted the answers to.
Both presenters are quick and knowledgeable with years of experience to draw on.”

“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,...”Read full review »

“I love listening to Marina and Richard.
Their insights to all things entertainment are fascinating. Sharing their views on things is insightful and even if I don’t always agree it is great to hear other view’s especially of topics I hadn’t considered.
I have a question though, ‘Why in TV shows...”Read full review »

“I love the podcast, they are sooooo quick, but can I just say: once on WILTY there was some nonsensical side chat about people hooking up at windmills (the detail of the context has escaped me) and Osman said ‘That’s how Grindr got started’ and it was so fast and it perfectly yanked two such...”Read full review »

Particularly dislike Marina’s habit of casually passing off facts and statistics that she clearly just found online. Richard is great but is there anyone in TV that he...”Read full review »

“The amount of ads has definitely creeped up. Very off putting. Disguising a question and answer one as a cat treat ad was very sneaky. Such a shame.
The gushing over Taylor Swift was nauseating.”

There is something to be said for Art for Art’s sake argument, but the very mention of that argument betrays her cluelessness and perhaps callousness for people already...”Read full review »

“Hard not to love the pairing. Marina talks like she writes, a machine gun of knowledge, opinion and not afraid to be unpopular. Richard too has such breadth of stories.
Just slightly beginning to tire of Richard cutting off Marina mid-explainer to drop a pun and the whole “questions AND answers...”Read full review »

“Uber Sloane Marina is extremely irritating when she gets excited and starts gabbling "ya ya ya". Richard clearly does not want to bite the commissioning hand that feeds, which explains why he claims to love every mass market tv show. The music interstitials are cranked up way too loud.

“I started listening to this podcast as a fan of all things Richard Osman. I tried to stay but I can’t listen to MH anymore. I lasted 51 episodes but her latest rant is the nail in the coffin I’m afraid. Shame as I’m a big supporters of women’s podcasts usually.”

“I’ve noticed that MH is now by far the more dominant of the two and does most of the talking. I have no problem with that as I like her poshness interspersed with swear words.
What does grate is the way she won’t let RO finish his sentences. It’s getting worse.
She needs to listen more.”
