The Rest Is Entertainment

Is Social Media Dead?


Listen Later

Has sexist A.I slop killed social media? Why is Courtney Love the most diss-track'd person in music? How would Richard save the BBC's new quizzes?
Social media platforms are haemorrhaging cash and users are leaving in droves, Richard Osman and Marina Hyde attempt to unpick why these websites are now failing - and if we should celebrate their demise.
From Charli vs Taylor, Drake vs Kendrick to Courtney Love vs the entire industry... we explore the checkered history of 'The Diss Track'.
And finally, we take a critical look at the current Saturday night telly offering.
Recommendations:
Marina - The Librarians (BBC 4, Storyville)
Richard - How Are You? It's Alan (Partridge)
