  • Gossip: The New Frontier Of The Culture War

    Gossip: The New Frontier Of The Culture War
    Jun 2 2025
    Is entertainment being weaponised as part of a culture war? Why aren’t we celebrating OnlyFans? The business is a massive UK success story. What can the way The Guardian asks for money tell us about subscriptions? With left and right politics now firmly established, how are the right deploying entertainment as a means to further their ideology? Who are the protagonists behind the discourse we’re being subjected to?

 OnlyFans was started by Tim Stokely in London in 2016 and has risen to be a billion dollar company but it is rarely spoken about. Is the platform’s core content the reason people seem hesitant to shout about a British success story? The Guardian now has well over a million paying ’supporters’. How has what could be framed a polite way to request support driven their success?

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.

Absolutely LOVED this new podcast! Two of my favourite people as presenters, who are as clever as they are funny. They don’t just review different shows - you get insightful thoughts on production and background. They spar off each other perfectly - and was listening with a big smile on my face. Can’t wait for the next episode!

Very funny, very informed, very good!

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
