Holly Willoughby On YouTube - The Verdict! Aug 03, 2026

Show notes

Are critics missing the point of Holly Willoughby’s YouTube show? Is Elon Musk leading a new era of Hollywood ‘Wokebusters’? What are the allegations against Jared Leto?

Holly Willoughby’s new YouTube show has provoked scathing reviews and comparisons to Meghan Markle. But are the critics right? And why are prime-time presenters swapping TV shows for YouTube channels?

Oscar-winning Jared Leto has denied accusations of criminal sexual misconduct made by multiple women in a new BBC documentary. Richard and Marina discuss the documentary.

Elon Musk is using his AI model, Grok, to make a “historically accurate” version of The Odyssey, after the success of Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster. Should we be worried about this new wave of Wokebusters?

Has Charli XCX Escaped Brat Summer? Jul 27, 2026

Show notes

How do you follow up a monster hit like Charli XCX’s BRAT? Will a corporate buyout ruin Letterboxd? Are we all just content creators now?

With everyone from your dentist to your neighbour posting content, and massive companies eschewing traditional advertising to pay micro-influencers, are we all just influencers now? Richard and Marina explore the booming content creation industry… do dentists make better content creators than Premier League footballers?

Charli xcx has released her new album, Music, Fashion, Film, two years after the inescapable success of BRAT summer. How is the pressure to follow up a huge cultural hit different for modern pop stars?

Cult film app Letterboxd is up for sale for a reported $250 million. Why do the likes of A24 and Sony see it as such a valuable asset, and can its highly engaged community survive a corporate takeover?

Prince Harry's 'Idiotic' Legal Battle Jul 13, 2026

Show notes

Was Prince Harry wrong to sue the Daily Mail? How did Olivia Dean and Sam Fender make chart history this week? Which pop stars should we thank for the resurgence of the vodka cranberry?

Prince Harry and other high-profile claimants have lost their High Court case against the publisher of the Daily Mail. Should stars let sleeping dogs lie over historical allegations of journalistic malpractice?

Olivia Dean and Sam Fender have made chart history with their song Rein Me In, breaking the record for the longest-running number 1 single by a British act. But what song might stop them from breaking further records if England wins the World Cup?

Step aside, obscure liquers. The new drink of the summer (apparently) is a Vodka Cranberry. So why is the Y2K beverage making a comeback, and what does it have to do with pop royalty Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo?

Songs played in the show:

Wet Wet Wet - Love Is All Around

Written By: Reg Presley

Mercury Records

Sam Fender, Olivia Dean - Rein Me In

Written By: Sam Fender, Olivia Dean, Max Wolfgang

Polydor

Oasis - Wonderwall

Written By: Noel Gallagher

Creation Records/Epic Records

Recommendations

Marina - Madonna, Confessions II (Album)

Richard - Widow's Bay (Apple TV)

Was Taylor Swift's Wedding Cringe? Jul 06, 2026

Show notes

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?

Recommendations:

Katie Price: Nothing To Hide (Sky)

Monopoly Deal (Game)

No Name - Wilkie Collins (Book)

Live tournament football (FIFA World Cup)
