Unexpectedly thought provoking re politics and class
The hosts (from Wikipedia researches the daughter of a Baronet and the son-in-law of a Conservative MP) discuss the schlock of entertainment we can consume to distract ourselves from the mess the Conservative government is making of the country.

I didn't expect to be thinking politics and class but Marina's voice drips money, every discussion revolves around extremely wealthy people or big pay days.

The hosts of this podcast are smart, funny and entertaining. I’m unlikely to watch the shows they talk about, but strangely, I will keep tuning in to hear each episode.
