    It's a great show, alright...

    ...except at least once in every show they insist on interviewing an American author about a book on a rather obscure and not very relevant subject.

    I guess the researchers spend a lot of time on Amazon.com looking for authors with books to plug, no matter how obscure the subject matter. And poor Sean does his best to sound interested, but in some cases it's a stretch for any of us to be interested.

    Sean is good fun... he keeps my day sane at least. He needs a longer movies and booze section though... i find its too short.

    He'd be rat-ársed by the end of the show.


    Actually, that might make for some very interesting listening. ;)

    Its a great show and the range of subjects they cover is terriific, moncrieff is an articulate and engaging host

    >>>>>>>>>>
    his inability to get through a single sentence without 20 eh eh eh eh's

    it's pretty simple. you wouldn't listen to him if he didn't engage you.

    Agreed but it would be that much better if he didnt inject dozens of eh's into each sentence.

    One for Moncrieff Bingo if there is such a thing on this thread.

    Moncrieff - "Good afternoon", ( to caller from America).

    Caller from America - "Its morning here".


    Happens nearly every time.

    It could be an anti-stammer technique

    it's a pity they don't podcast the movies and booze section.
    all the regular stuff should be podcasted, like history on tuesdays (which sometimes is), food on thursdays, as well as movies and booze.
    parenting, maybe not for a while!

    since there's talk of splitting the newstalk thread, may as well bump this.

    there's such a massive difference in the parenting experts on wednesdays. niamh hannon is mad for the softly softly, explain to the kid that they've done something wrong, make sure they understand etc, while david carey is great for the 'just say no!' approach.

    Man found running around naked and being brought in for a mental assessment. Cue the newsreader telling us to check out this hilarious clip on their website. Strange.

    Just listening to the most prejudiced man on Irish radio.

    Sean Moncreiff that is! Boy as a social liberal I really find the man quite hard to stomach at times such is is rampaging hostility (poorly disguised with laugh) towards anyone who dares to go against his Politically Correct/Dub4 orthodoxy.

    Today anyone who got in touch regarding immigrants "taking all our jobs" was attacked by Moncrieff in a little aside as being racist as he made out that those people must also fear blacks marrying white Irish women. Of course he didn't phrase it as such but you knew the point he was making.

    Well the best approach is not to be glib and flippant. It was bait radio by Moncreiff really.

    he goes on like it's an irish thing only. absolutely nothing, no matter how many times it comes up on the daily edge or whatever, is an 'only in ireland' thing.
    i lived in the UK dealing with the public for over 12 years. every so often, people complained to me about foreigners before i asked them to leave. this kinda ****e happens everywhere.

    and if i hear about that fckin study about how we're not really celts one more time!!!!!!
