What do you listen to during the workday?

I've started listening to the radio instead of Spotify in work and I'm loving it. The days fly by.

I listen to Adrian Kennedy, Sean Moncrieff, and Ivan Yates,

They take up a good chunk of my workday, and I thoroughly enjoy them.

Marty in the Morning on the drive to work, Drivetime in the evening & John Creedon at night.

Work at home so radio in kitchen is turned on before even the kettle first thing on morning. Corks 96FM on all day and is usually last thing to be turned off at night. KC and Ross Brown give a hilarious breakfast show and then it’s PJ & the opinion line till lunch. Music with Ken Tobin for the early afternoon & The Big Drive Home takes us to dinner time catching snippets of each as pass through or getting a coffee. I never feel alone in the house when the radio is on.

Always listen to Morning Ireland. Rachael English, Gavin Jennings, and Brian Dobson are all exemplary. It's a great example of quality news and current affairs broadcasting.

Then over to Pat Kenny. The undefeated champion at current affairs. Especially strong when interviewing politicians. Never antagonistic or condescending, but always a solid examination of whatever is being discussed. Nothing against SoR, but Kenny still wins out.

Tend to tune out after that for most of the day. I've nothing against Joe Duffy as a broadcaster, but feel the entire show feeds the lumbering outrage, grievance, and me-fein beast that has become so prevalent. Seán Moncrieff used to be entertaining, but he is now very virtuous and self-righteous. Like Darcy, Graham Linehan etc; he seems to be getting ever angrier at his need to display how 'right on' he is. There's no introspection there. Doesn't make for good radio.

Ivan or Matt on the way home if I get the chance to listen. I'll admit to missing some of George Hook's stuff - especially his music, travel, and personal issues slots. Never rated him as a current affairs broadcaster, but the lighter slots were great.

BBC R4s Today (news prog.) on way to work, then Pat Kenny Show. World at One (BBC R4) during lunch. Then no radio after that.

It varies a lot. I work in other peoples houses most of the time so I don't always have a choice. If I do it's PK from 9-10. After that i go over and back from him to SOR, depending what the subject is at the time. Ronan Collins, News at 1 on RTE and then I try and coincide my lunch with Liveline and contribute to the thread and rip the pi$$ out of Duffy as much as I can. After the 3.00 news it's music from the phone to a bluetooth speaker. I often go back for Nuacht and sport around 4.03 to 4.07. On the drive home i flick through the news shows. If I've the house to myself after 8 It's John Creedon all the way.

A mix of podcasts and music on Deezer. Life isn't long enough to waste time listening to ads imo.

2fm on at work but it’s a head wrecker of a station. How the likes of Eoin MacDermott has a job is beyond me.

Listening to the news programs will seriously have a negative affect on your mood so that is something to be careful. It can also be distracting. I'm trying to listen to live concerts on youtube instead. Though with all of the fun of the Presidential election it's been hard this week. :-)

I usually catch some of Pat Kenny/Sean O'Rourke in the morning switching between the two depending on the item and the contributors. After that, I sometimes listen to Radcliffe and Maconie on BBC 6 but that's coming to an end. Spotify is where I mostly go for music because daytime Irish music radio has gone to the dogs. I used to tune into the Last Word religiously but it has turned into a cross between The Journal.ie and Joe.ie, presented by a formerly credible journalist.

Lyric FM. Quality easy going music, very little ads, good presenters.
