I listen to podcasts all the time.

I don’t however want to download yet another app (in this case the RTÉ app) as I have too many on my phone already, and I know many RTÉ shows are available as podcasts on the usual platforms but from previous experience it takes 2-3 (or more in some cases) days for these to go live. Even then you’d have to navigate the whole show to find that section.

Again from previous experience I know the newspaper review segment on the BO’C show is a “pinned” segment on the radio section of the RTÉ website. It’s super easy to find and usually plays fine. And normally I do listen to that section on Sunday from the comfort of my kitchen. But thanks for your info anyway.

I have the Brendan O'Connor show in my podcast app (I use pocketcasts). The show's segments usually appear shortly after the show ends, and will always be there by mid-Sunday afternoon. The podcasts are individual segments (usually there's 3 or 4 per show depending on what they cover). You don't need to download the RTÉ app or anything like that. You can just copy and paste this link into your podcast app's search functionality and it should appear:

Given the McGregor story will likely dominate the papers today I’d suspect Brendan will give himself a hernia falling over himself telling the panel “He’s not here to defend himself” repeatedly….

Peter Dragon

Took a few mins but we got a “let’s not go there”, swiftly followed by BO’C likening McGregor to Trump. The ubiquitous “toxic masculinity” was aired almost immediately. Normal male-bashing service resumed it seems on RTÉ. Trump and McGregor are extreme outliers in their attitudes and behaviours to women, I’m honestly fed up of being constantly told I’m a potential rapist.

Brendan's banana isn't there to defend itself 🍌.

He fairly shat his pants when Dorothy Cross dropped the F-bomb yesterday.

He said himself he almost had a heart attack, when one of the guests started to tell a story about Philip The Greek, which at the end had a rather tame punchline.

Discussing Dickie Rock (RIP) now: Louis Walsh ,Father "Trendy" Brian D'Arcy and Twink 🤮

BOC on high (defamation) alert with Twink. Cut her into her before she could even make her point!

Hippodrome Song Owl

Insufferable listening to Brendan trying to shush Twink for fear she say something slightly controversial. I haven't listened in a while as this over the top fear of being sued is just too much, then first thing I hear when I tune in today.

couldn't agree more, the BOC show has become unbearable to listen to, its almost a parody. I have never heard someone so fearful of causing offence, its throughout every single interview BOC does now. He intervenes all the time with whoever is on, doubling down, correcting statements, checking how stuff is phrased, its actually painful to listen to him.

This kind of PC woke nannying of contributors is ruining radio and tv and just makes me turn off. Nothing is fun or impromptu anymore.

(actually Callan's kicks 2 weeks ago on the Leaders debate I think was hilarious, he absolutely nailed BOC's behaviour on his show!)

listening to the panel this morning - Niamh Hourigan and Catriona O’Sullivan are precisely the reason why we got the election result we did. The only way to change something is to lead from the front, and be the change you want to see. The Greens made a lot of mistakes in the last government, and I didn’t vote for them, but by God they saw their opportunity to legislate for change and they took it. Ultimately the two above are hurlers on the ditch, and are happy to play that role thus reinforcing the status quo and hoping change comes from osmosis. I am a centrist voter, but if I was left leaning and heard those two this morning I’d despair.

I listened too. So predictable but not surprising at all, as they're both in academia. Both in the social sciences area - the ultimate echo chamber - and often come unstuck when discussions move to anything that involves the application of ideas to reality.

I'm sure Kaitriona O' Sullivan's sons were delighted to hear their family conversations on consent (the McGregor case) being discussed on the national airways.

I wonder did they give consent for their dinner table conversations to feature on the BOC show 🤔

Whenever Keith Richards finally croaks, I fully expect Fr Trendy to pop up on RTE claiming " to have known " Keef" for fifty years"

The cnut knows everyone

When it's used in the context of McGregor "consent" certainly doesn't refer to disclosing the topic of dinner table conversations.

Father Brian is a good priest and a decent man who has done a lot of good in his life.

I think woke means being aware of minority groups LGBT groups non white people and respecting their rights instead of assuming everyone is white and middle class and straight

There was a good comment someone said their son did not vote .he said there's no party that represents his views fianna fail fianna gael are middle of the road liberal party's there's little chance of Sinn Fein being in a coalition

Brian D'Arcy has been around the whole Irish showband scene for years and knows a lot of those involved e.g. Dickie Rock. I never hear him sh1ting on about stuff he doesn't know anything about…unlike many other guests on this show at times.

What could she possibly say about Dickie that wasn't common knowledge?

Tight as a duck's arse.

Would get up on a cracked plate.

Love child he refused to recognise.

Junkie son RIP.

Usual suspects Scott Lucas and Ellen Coyne on today. Haven’t heard from Finnian McGrath in quite some time though, wonder where they found him.

Next week on the show,,:

'...you can't say that ?...Santy isn't here to defend himself!...'

This one is all affectations. I did get a laugh out of "My favorite tv show as a kid was The Clinic". No ones favorite show is The Clinic.

I assume this is said in jest, but as anything is possible these days I have to ask - did someone really say that?
