Love it!

Always entertaining and insightful - and wow this week’s episode, with Marina really going for those dim book festival destroyers and their contempt for art for its ownsake, was sooo good to hear! Fabulous stuff!

Flo

Marina Hyde’s ludicrous false equivalency about the fossil free books group making Shakespeare sign a letter about Queen Elizabeth belies her own insecurity and discomfort about her contemporary politics. Its ok that you’re more centrist than you thought; less left wing than activists now - be less defensive and perhaps better conversations would ensue. Embarrassing, honestly.

No Galaxy ta! ,

Love this show! But please…..the ads!!!!! 🤮

Fabulous show, fascinating content and two wonderful hosts who riff off each other seamlessly and joyfully. However, I know this podcast needs an income and yes, there will be ads, but recently I’ve felt that the ads featured on this show have segued into clever advertorials that now seem to have morphed into the actual show itself. It’s getting harder and harder to decipher what’s sponsored chat, and what’s real.

My real grate is the Galaxy chocolate one banging on about helping un-empowered women….donating a piddly amount of money when Mars earns literally billions of dollars every year. Is painful to listen to. Think I’d rather just have actual brand-created commercials and be done with it. At least I’d know where to fast-forward to!
