    Heard this for the first time today, sounds quite good.

    Topical, pacey and caller driven.

    Going to try it for a while, can't be any worse than Liveline at the moment ...

    Listened in today myself after flicking around due to being unable to stick anymore Liveline. Awful the past two days.

    Good first impressions of Harvey though! Will definitely be giving this a listen tomorrow.

    David Harvey is on now, talking about Pamela Izevbekhai

    Lively debate so far, he's not happy about the expense incurred on this case.

    A full hour of Pamela Izevbekhai so far, and more to come.

    Reasonably good standard of debate, callers with nothing to say are dumped quickly.

    Not bad.

    David Harvey is where its at for me now,hope more see the light.
    Way longer than liveline,better topics,better presenter & more balanced.

    Liveline is a shambles of a show.

    Plenty of Irish scamming the dole, not just foreigners.

    True, it's wrong to discuss it in the context of deportations, without making that point.

    What is it with irish sites using proprietary technologies for their online radio. Realplayer for RTE and Windows Media Player for 4fm. Does anyone have a flash-based or HTTP/RTP based link for listening to 4fm online?

    David Harvey is not bad at all keeping it moving along nice & lively & seems to have no problem thinking on his feet. Reminds me of what Liveline used to be like ....

    I like the caller plugging every other Radio phone in, even after DH told him not to!

    Combination of a strong accent and a bad line, doesn't make for good radio.

    I think they overdid this subject a bit, Nearly two hours of it is a bit much.

    I suppose it's something that gets the phonelines hopping.

    Ta I thought my phone was buffering the stream. I only tuned in at 2 so not too bad, he really lets them loose quite surprised, enjoying it.

    Think the advisor is wrong there - isn't it six years after the debt is cleared?
