    Listen to George Hook when I'm driving. Rare occurrence though. Usually would apply when I was driving home from college last year for about 30 mins.

    I was just joking... it looks like a minus sign in front of the 10.

    I'm just a 10 minute walk from work myself... barely worth the hassle of taking out a set of headphones and putting them on... so no drive time for me...

    I listen to Drive Time on RTE. I walk home from college, usually takes me about 10/15 minutes, and I always have my radio on my phone on, even though I can only use one earphone!! Even if I'm only walking for a few minutes I'll listen to the radio. I'm a bit obsessed really. I also love Morning Ireland and sometimes set my alarm so I can listen to it even if I don't have to be up for a few hours.

    I've about 50 minutes drive home. I channel hop between Hook and Cooper.

    I tend to enter the competitions on occasion too, as usually about 5 mins after a question is asked, I have to stop and leave off a workmate giving me a chance to text.
    A month ago, I won an MP3 player on George Hook's show. That said, I'm still waiting....

    I skip between Cooper, Hook and Drive Time depending on what they are talking about and whether they are on an ad break.

    IMO Drive Time is absolutely crap since the change. Mary Wilson is just dreadful and the whole sport segment idea is nonsense. Bring back Rachel English!

    I generally bus it home from college, and listen to either the last word or george hook, depending on what they're talking about... Takes me over an hour to get home, unless i cycle, in which case it's about 45 minutes...

    Takes me a good hour to get home, got to be cooper between the 5 and 6 hour for the commute and I usually stick with him to 7 on certain days when I get home for the US report and the technology piece.

    I find the Hook irritating, can't stand his accent and I don't think Mary Wilson has fit properly into her drivetime spot comparing to Rachel English. Cooper asks the right questions and has a gentlemanly approach to asking tough questions and getting answers.
