Richard Osman and Marina Hyde team up to host The Rest is Entertainment for Goalhanger Podcasts

Goalhanger Podcasts are today launching the latest instalment in their hugely successful ‘The Rest Is’ collection of podcasts.

The Rest Is Entertainment is presented by TV maestro and hugely successful author Richard Osman, along with The Guardian’s brilliant columnist Marina Hyde, who was recently described by Phoebe Waller-Bridge as “the most lethal, vital, screamingly funny truth-teller of our time.”

With years of experience and an enviable network of contacts, Richard Osman and Marina Hyde are set to bring a unique blend of knowledge, humour, and insight as industry insiders to this new weekly series. They’ll talk television, films, books, music and celebrity gossip as well as offering an enticing peek behind the curtain of the world of entertainment.

With Richard Osman’s producer’s eye and charismatic presentation alongside the razor-sharp journalistic analysis of Marina Hyde, together they’ll unravel the mysteries and unveil the hidden gems within the vast landscape of blockbuster movies to indie gems, bestselling books to underground music scenes, no corner of the entertainment realm will be left unexplored.

In each episode they’ll discuss what’s hot and what’s not in the world of pop culture. Listeners can expect engaging discussions, entertaining views, and outrageous gossip.

They’ll also suggest what to watch on television, the best streaming box-sets, and books and magazines you must not miss.

Speaking on the new show, Richard says: “About 6 months ago I started thinking about how I could hang out with the brilliant Marina Hyde every week. This podcast is the successful culmination of that plan."

Marina adds: “Movies, TV, books, music, celebrity, scandal - all the fun stuff, and I honestly can’t wait to talk to Richard about them every week.”

Tony Pastor, Executive Producer and co-founder of Goalhanger Podcasts, said of the latest addition to the 'Rest Is’ stable of podcasts: “Marina and Richard were our dream combination for this podcast. If you love TV and movies and keep falling down celebrity rabbit holes on social media this is the pod for you. Some of our other podcasts might describe the rise of populists, or debate their influence on society, The Rest Is Entertainment will discuss their ability to eat kangaroo testicles on national TV.”
