Marina Hyde discusses Trump, tech and Taylor Swift's wedding on new podcast episode
The Guardian columnist spoke about her new book 'What a Time to Be Alive!' and the challenge of covering modern politics and culture.
Guardian columnist Marina Hyde discussed the release of her new book, "What a Time to Be Alive!", in a recent podcast conversation covering politics, technology and celebrity culture.
Hyde reflected on how she approaches covering unsettling current events, saying she often frames unusual developments as "fascinating from a human behaviour point of view" as a way of processing the news.
The conversation, hosted by Nosheen Iqbal, touched on subjects including Donald Trump, artificial intelligence and Taylor Swift's wedding, as well as an anecdote about a chance encounter with UK politician Keir Starmer.
Hyde is known for her satirical commentary on politics and public figures, and her new book continues that tradition with a look at recent cultural and political moments.
The podcast episode is part of the Guardian's ongoing interview series featuring the outlet's columnists and contributors.
