Second Captains

Find the players chair the worst part of the new sub, few interesting people but I feel Richie tries to hard and keeps turning things back to him. Would find it much more interesting to hear Eoin or Ken do them. Think I'll give the David Forde one from today a miss

I agree he does bring it back to himself every time, but I think that is a ruse designed to drop the guest's guard and maybe lead them into opening up a bit more.
I noticed it in the Duffer interview, Richie would ask a question e.g. the car registrations, tell his little bit about his personalised reg, and then Duffer was a bit more willing to share.
I dunno I am kind of getting a bit bored of Richie, his voice just grates on me and the interviews do seem a little bir repetitive although a large part of that is down to the guests.

The jingles have taken their toll on everyone . I wish that they didn't bother with them anymore. Annoying every day. And I skip them.

Yeah so much overplay. Some ridiculously long ones too.

Anyone else wish ken would do a travel pod. Consistently the best material comes from ken going around describing his holidays, match reports, city visits etc

Maybe send him to Las Vegas FOREVER.

Forde comes across as a very intense individual.

What was the point of that nonsense at the end about some eejit supposedly getting a tattoo of Richie on their arse, I'd say those lads are "mad craic altogether" :rolleyes:

I found myself not listening half way through... Not sure how long I want listening for. So that one got binned.

I'm going have to say it "I love the jingles".

As they all run for around a minute, and the jump function on my podcast player jumps 30 sec intervals, I can skip the parts of the podcasts I am not interested in, and the jingles give me a nice easily recognisably cue that it's safe to listen again.

Invaluable over the last month of marketing tours and even this week when two ladies were on about some event which "sold out the belfield bowl".

David Forde interview was great, some parts clearly exaggerated but always nice to get a different perspective on the game. Massive respect for anyone who gives up the drink.

Nearly every podcast player has a configurable skip forward button, usually set to skip 30 seconds. The purpose of the jingles is to allow listeners easily skip to the end of a section. They have to be ~sixty seconds long to ensure that they're not skipped over. They're necessary.

I don't know why people don't get this.

[edit] Just saw Riemann's post.

I also love the jingles. The Johnny Cash/Roy Keane/Ken one is great. And I still get a bit teary when they play the Katie Taylor/Blur one or the Robbie Brady one.

Ken+Vincent Browne/hairdryer to Jay Z still makes me chuckle.

He never was invited back on, was he?

Ciaran_B

Was Ken just on talking about football? Or was Vincent hitting him with political stuff?

Think it was about Ferguson retiring, it was around that time anyway.

I think primarily he was on to talk about Beckham's retirement.

edit: it probably was Freguson alrlight.

What?...because I'm not a football man? Well, you'd be right not to on this occasion.

I love the way Ken talks 90% resignedly/10% resentfully about how Giles thinks he's a gimp. Tough one to swallow, but, as Ken says, what can he do?

It always struck me as odd that Ken was never present during the Giles chat, we know why now, I was working with an ould lad who didn't like me recently so I can certainly empathise with him!
