    The music and presentation was so much better without him. I had gone back to tuning in but will be going elsewhere now.

    I'm not a fan of Ronan Collins' programme at all, I think the i-pod shuffle resemblance which someone once mentioned, is pretty apt.

    Awful to hear of his recent illness though. Anything like paralysis is profoundly frightening to experience. So in spite of my previous comments, it's good to see him getting back into action.

    I read somewhere that RTE are making a programme about it. Something like when Aine Lawlor had cancer.

    Late Late Show tomorrow night.

    Broadcaster Ronan Collins was getting ready to host an event recently when he lost power in one of his legs. His story is captured in the upcoming RTÉ2 series Trauma..

    Good old RTE, double whammy of a canteen guest with bonus obscure health issue.

    Ronan Collins showing his black sense of humour today by playing Elvis Presley's 'Paralyzed', in reference to his appearance on the Late Late Show.

    Michael Cahill is sitting in for Ronan Collins for the next few weeks. Hope they don't keep Cahill on that slot...
