The more you hear Callan’s impersonation of Boris, the more you realise it doesn’t actually sound like him

Yeah, he might be exaggerating it just a bit too far (what's the Quavers reference to )

Pat Kenny once told Mario Rosenstock that Rosenstock's impression of him didn't quite reflect his voice. Rosenstock agreed but made the point that he wasn't trying to replicate Kenny's voice, it was a caricature, so you exaggerate some of the sounds and vocabulary, which was a fair point. But there probably has to be a balance between caricature and similarity, just like any cartoon, and the Boris character is definitely a bit off.

Haven't yet heard tonight's programme, but was disappointed with Callan's first show of the season, last week. You'd think the first programme of the season would be a high-water mark; I hope it won't be all downhill from here.

Well his attack on the Govnt.is about all that is constant on tonight’s ‘offering’.

Nothing too exciting so far.

Brendan Bendar

Hurrah for podcasts! Did Marian sabotage the promos?
Callan getting into stride in Ep2
Otherwise ..
How little has changed since last series. Politics may be beyond parody.
Who'd have thought Maybot would be better material than Spaffer Johnson.

That Marian Finucane/Terry Prone sketch was good.

Agree.... what’s the expression..... flogging a dead horse..

Needs a major freshening up, but of course Callan won’t sock it to the lefties.

Too much skin in the game.

Spinning rapidly...

Yeah. If the job of journalism (or satire) is to speak truth to power, I'm surprised that Callan doesn't "sock it to the lefties" more given that they've been in power in this country for such a long time ... :rolleyes:

That LLS Gaybo sketch was good, making fun of Father Brian D’Arcy

The Maria Bailey swing jokes have worn thin by now.

Maybe we could have an ad break. Give people a chance to check their FB feeds. That's would be nice.

He could reprise "Ghosts of Leaders Past" for the christmas Ep. That was a classic.

Welsh Megaman

Thought he was going to make gags about the salaries of RTE broadcasters then.

Took the piss of the leaders debate and then did a state of the parties and groups. He didn't spare anyone.

Must look up the podcast. I thought he would be put out to grass by RTE during the hustings. Thanks for the heads up.

Liked the section where Leo went canvassing at a mart

Well when you look up the podcast the latest date says last year but if you subscribe it was last Friday.

It was very good tonight. Maybe elections provide great source material. The Catherine Noone character in particular was very funny. I'll definitely download it and listen to it again.

Genghis

Wonder what the plan is for next Friday. Presumably RTE can't run it within 24 hours of election day. They probably could do a podcast release on Friday but doubt they would.

Has been very good in fairness these last 2 weeks. Love the FG bunker idea, also the split personality Pascal, the Howlin who can't seem to get a word in, etc.

Didn't happen, unfortunately. Trump's 'State of the Union' should be good too.

I'd agree his Mary Lou isn't the best, but his Leo and Murphs are very good.
