I used to tune in regularly to "Moloney after Midnight" with Mike Moloney on 2FM, - oh, about 10 or 11 years ago now... Still remember the demented woman who used to start the show (can't remember her name... it'll wreck my head!... not "Monica Looly" but something similar...), screeching "Helll-ooooooh!"

These days, on radio, I tend to listen to our local station in Dundalk (just 'cos I'm on it myself, and I know the other presenters). I don't tend to listen to the national stations much but when I do, it's Derek Flood's "Planet Hits" on Today FM (- lives near me, met him a few times - top bloke!), Ray Foley's "Blast" (sometimes) or (occassionally) Rick O'Shea on 2FM. Looking forward to hearing his new show next week.

Amelia Golightly??
Liiiiiiiiiiiiiffffffffffffffeeeeeeeeeeeeee, liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiffffffffffffffffeeeeeeeeeeeee, life is like a <insert item to which she refers to>

Derek Flood, one of the launch DJ's on LMFM way back in 1999, I never knew why he left LMFM back in the day, he had a good thing going there.

Yes i do listen to the phoneshow. And btw you cannot class everyone in the same catagory because of the way some people behave.

Well Floody moved around a bit, working in radio in the north and in the UK before coming back to Ireland to take up residency in Today FM. I'm sure the wages are a tad better there than they were in LMFM! It's a definite step up in the world! Sure, you can't stay still in radio... (unless you're Larry Gogan or Gerry Ryan I suppose...)

Wow, that's a flashback!! I doubt very much there are any Amelia recordings still lying around RTE archives?

Sean Moncrieff on 106 is always a good one to listen to.

Jim O Neill (solid Gold Sunday) 1-4pm every sunday on Today FM deserves listening to. btw, remember "thing" ?:D

I always find when I do get to listen to the show, that Moncrieff relies too much on the text messages. Like he would spend what seems like ages reading any old tripe of the monitor, and rush items like Henry's whats on guide. I don't think its good radio.

But the best radio show of all time for me was 'On The Hour' which was on BBC Radio 4 back in the early 90's.

Oh yes, the genius that is Chris Morris.

Irish radio is a big swinging plair of plaid pants at the moment.

Loose Ends on BBC R4 is required listening for me. I remember hearing Johny Vegus' first ever appearance on it at the Edinburgh Festival many years back when he used to do his act with a potter's wheel. I've never heard anything as funny before or since.

But for true radio legends? Mr. John Peel (nee Ravenscroft). R.I.P.
