Jfc, the lengths some people go to on here to criticise presenters - especially female ones...

Seriously? Your problem with her now is she takes holidays?! So does - well, every single radio presenter! They're all on similar enough contracts and all take roughly the same number of days off.

Talk about real human issues people are experiencing, especially now cos of Covid - "Too moany!" Don't do that, and go for a more light-hearted show - "Bleedin' 'content creators'!"

She's a dreadful DJ/Presenter. Not just on this show but on pretty much everything she has presented. She has somehow managed to make a very lucrative career as a presenter by being a producer on a radio show. She has no real talent as a presenter. She's every bit as dreadful as Lottie Ryan and Eoghan McGob****e on 2fm

Her gender has nothing to do with it. If she was male, she'd get the same criticism

But you haven't criticised her. You've just said "Nah, she's crap." You've offered an opinion, with nothing to back it up. Not even "she talks too much/little", "is too moany/too lightweight", "plays crap music." She's apparently crap because you say she's crap. Grow up, you're (presumably) not 12, this isn't the school playground.

Where is Anna Geary?Havent heard from her on Saturday show in weeks.

Any update on this? Seems to have been solely Declan Pierce for around two months at this stage.

Although I can't say I miss her too much. She tended to be too militant towards women's sport.

I bet Dec is happy

I'm guessing he just got a fill in gig while the rest of the presenters were off

What’s happening at Today FM?

New shows being announced, head of music “stepping down”...?

Is a full reshuffle on the cards or what?

So... all the presenters with school-age children take half-term off? IT'S A CONSPIRACY!

Mid term, they obviously decided to take hols at the same time for less disruption

3 of the 4 daytime presenters between 9am and 4.30? I don't remember it happening before.

To be fair to Mikey, Dara Quiltys podcast is actually class. I actually miss him on the airwaves but that says more about the content creator rage at the moment.

Nah, they have.

So too have Dermot, Dave, Matt, and Ed, but y'know, cognitive bias... :rolleyes:

The music is now second fiddle to the drivel most of them now spout on every show. Dec and Ed are the only music orientated DJs left on the station

Suzanne Kane admitted during the week that Pitbull is her favourite artist. Exactly what you want to hear from someone hosting the midday show on a national music station

Good to hear a normal "DJ" Phil Cawley still on Today FM 4 to 7pm today.
Just hanging in there no doubt, in 6 months time he probably will be gone....as Keith McCormack will bring in another social media female to replace him.

What's wrong with her liking Pitbull? Apart from their evening shows which are aimed at an older audience, Today FM is a youth music station. I can't stand Pitbull myself but I wouldn't condemn Suzanne Kane for liking him.

Phil's lovely and all, but talking right now about locking himself into the studio to play Christmas music, and it's a rare show of his where he won't mention some of his family... As pointed out above, so do Ed, Matt, Dave and, indeed, Dec.

I can see I'm going to have to save this one from Ed for easy re-use:

Well said, Ed!
