    Was Taylor Swift's Wedding Cringe?
    Jul 6 2026
    Is Taylor Swift the ultimate 'star-fucker'? Why is Katie Price an unstoppable force? Will Sky's purchase of ITV be a success? Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce finally tied the knot this weekend in Madison Square Gardens, with a select guest list of... 1,000 celebs. Richard Osman and Marina Hyde ask why someone would choose such an insane location, and if they'd have liked an invite to the epic nuptials themselves. Katie Price has been one of the UK's most fascinating, and troubling, British celebrities of this century. We look at her journey from Page 3 starlet to the ultimate reality star in light of the new Sky documentary about her life. Sky has confirmed that they will purchase ITV for £1.6bn. What does this mean for the industry and audiences?

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

Simply the best

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Hosts are both charming, knowledgeable and straight talking on all things entertainment. Natural rapport between both too

Topical banter with personality & punch

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.

Another cracker from the ‘Rest Is’ stable
