Hello and welcome to this episode of The Resters Entertainment with me Marina Hyde.

And me, Richard Osmond. Hello Marina.

Hello, Richard. How are you? I'm okay. I just got back from a country. You might have heard of called the United States of America, where I did a lovely book tour. And lots and lots of people out there, so hello to all of you who listen to the podcast. A man in St. Louis said, please say to Marina that she's right about everything. I said, my friend, she already knows. I would have liked to have come along on your tour. Some of the places sounded actually wonderful, fascinating. It was great. Honestly, I loved it. I loved going out and doing book talks over there. Yeah, so it was really, really lovely. But I amazed at how many people listen to the podcast as well, which is great. You just think, I mean, I mean, we talk about last of the summer wine. Is that interesting to you? I guess. I mean, a lot of the Sue Pollard talk must go over their head, surely. Well, during the really mad Brexit years when I was, I was writing, you know, and it was the sort of really intricate machinations and dysfunction of our politics, I used to get emails every single week from people in America who say, I don't know who any of these people are.

I just enjoy the story. What are we talking about this week? Right. There have been many, many,

you might have seen lots of stuff recently, sort of either declaring the death of social media

or hedging the bet and asking, is it dead? So we're going to talk about that, where it's going, what's happened to it from where it just started out as a way to connect with your friends. Yes, and it's become something very, very different. I came home on Saturday evening and watched a bit of Saturday Night TV. And there are a number of shows on Saturday Night TV this week that I thought were told an interesting story about

where we are in mass entertainment and there's a couple of particular shows I want to talk about.

I'm dying for that.
