What A Time To Be Alive! - Marina Hyde [EXCLUSIVE EXTRACT]

Über diese Folge

The Rest Is Entertainment presents an exclusive chapter from Marina Hyde’s new book ‘What A Time To Be Alive!’ which is out now. Welcome to the dystopian soap opera of modern times. Travel to space with Lauren Sanchez and Katy Perry, let the waters close over you as Bear Grylls baptises Russell Brand in the Thames, and experience the full body impact of the Gwyneth Paltrow ski massacre trial. Lettuce also remember Liz Truss, meet – and bid farewell to – the guy they called ‘No-Drama Starmer’, and celebrate the inaugural winner of the Fifa Peace Prize as he threatens to annex countries and follows all the way through on starting wars. Experience the magic of Donald Trump’s cavalcade of henchmen, watch with nothing but optimism as our Silicon Valley overlords hit their imperial phase – and let your jaw drop as Brooklyn secedes from the Beckhams. Truly, these are times that make you want to put your hands over your eyes, even when your hands are already over your eyes. The only thing to do is read Marina Hyde’s Guardian columns and howl with laughter.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
