    Anyone else finding Ken Early's voice a bit irritating? I have no problem with his regular speaking voice but he frequently breaks into this fake pseudo shouty voice on the podcast. Adds nothing & it would be much better if he cut this out i think. Apart from this I do like the show though

    i've said it from the start, they need to sort out the volume with his voice. i used to listen to this with earphones, and would have to turn it up occasionally, only to be deafened by the shouting a few seconds later.

    they're quite lucky with their timing. they started the football podcasts at the start of this season, and have the world cup to carry them on into the summer. i wonder would they cut back on them if it was a free summer, esp since they don't dare talk about the LOI?

    Jesus Richie Sadlier is useless. Terrible to listen to

    What? I disagree on this, I'm not much of a soccer person but I think he's great listening.

    I think there's a problem with the volume in general.

    I have to turn it up to full volume so i can hear it in the car. Have to listen to the radio on my earphones in the gym, because i can't hear the lads over the piss poor half arsed Ibiza music they seem to think everyone wants to hear in there.

    I think Richie often sounds like a guy down the pub having a bit of a rant. Often starts asking Eoin/Ken questions which i don't think works. As a guest he shouldn't he be the one providing the expertise. The GAA contributors like Oisin McConville come across much better.

    I like the voices Ken does when he quotes someone. Adds a comedic element to it, which I quite like.

    Good point. Why do they never talk about League of Ireland? Perhaps they never watch it, but then they could bring someone in who does.

    Ah Ken is brilliant, loved his line about Moyes a few weeks ago 'when he's in his bathroom winning the argument he should have had with Rio Ferdinand' or something along those lines.

    the last two shows with murph hosting has lots of background noises coming from someones computers, pretty rookie stuff. Sounds like gchat messagea and skype opening up. Come on guys turn off the computer sounds.

    To be fair, that happens a lot even when Murph isn't hosting.

    I actually thought Murph did a very good job hosting the Football Show on Tuesday. Think it suited him a lot more to be hosting than trying to contribute to it.

    i agree, i was listening to it and thought ah shyte when he started off, but he was pretty good. didn't seem to cut in as much as eoin usually does. seemed to flow nicely.

    This was fierce annoying, but Murph was decent to be fair...

    Was half tempted to leave todays football show when I heard Murph was filling in for Eoin,but he was surprisingly alright.His annoying Republic of Telly like sense of humour was definitely toned down too.

    Think the football show (and Ken) are both just more suited to having two people contributing instead of three.Eoin/Ken and Murph/Ken are both grand,but it gets a bit messy when all three are involved and competing to get their voices heard.

    That's coming from the contributers comouters, was it Miguel Delaney on the line, he obviously has Facebook open, nothing the lads can do about that.

    On another note....has anyone signed up to a KBC savings account or is that just an utter waste of time?

    It wouldn't be too hard to ask all the contributors to mute their computers and phones before the interview starts.

    Their audio issues do let them down too often.

    Headsets would also solve the problem, and stop Miguel Delaney sounding like he's in a big empty kitchen...

    I don't get that. It's not live - so they have time to fix things by stopping and starting again, but even if the line is really awful they seem to just plough on regardless. It could just be down to not having a sound engineer, which they would have had on the radio show.

    Indeed. They should pay for headsets to the contributors.

    I thought last nights football show was excellent - best one for ages. Good interview with that guy who wrote the book on penalty kicks, quality preview of the Champions League final and some good interplay between Eoin and Ken.

    I thought the monkey chat just about overstayed it's welcome.

    Some really great episodes lately alright. The penalty interview was particularly interesting. I still hear the odd computer sound and it's not from miguel (he is actually my least favourite guest).

    Eoin and Murph will be hosting a weekly GAA show on Radio 1 at 6pm every Sunday from June 22nd according to Second Captains Twitter.

    Ken's own radio 1 philosophy hour can't be far away now!

    Hopefully they'll replace the Angelus with "Ken Early's Daily Musings"

    Congrats to them and delighted to see them back on radio but I think rugby is one of their more stronger topics and also, I feel there's already enough GAA coverage and analysis in the media

    Good news. Will be interesting to see how they will go down with much of Radio 1 listeners I.e. the 50+. But I assume that has been thought of and will be tailored to suit a wider audience than for there podcast

    There was already a GAA show on at that time so they are just replacing that

    Got to agree with this. I still tune into the OTB show on Newstalk because it's live but I'd love an alternative. Hopefully this is a good omen. I can't see RTE ever airing a 2-3 hour nightly sports show though.
