Liveline With Joe Duffy - Mod Note in OP

Beechwoodspark

that last caller is an absolute spoofer

The BBs didn’t play dublin in 1968

Brian W did not tour with them after 1965 so I’m not sure who was in the wheelchair he mentioned but it wasn’t Brian.

absolute fantastist just looking for attention off Katie.

What about a certain Cork Radio Presenter who got overly excited on a flight...

RTÉ seeks expressions of interest for presenter roles for radio and news

https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2025/0612/1518163-rte-radio-presenter-call-out/

As broadcaster Joe Duffy prepares to retire from Liveline on RTÉ Radio 1 on Friday 27 June, RTÉ has announced it is running an open internal and external 'expressions of interest' process for interested potential on-air presenters across RTÉ Radio 1 and News and Current Affairs.

Signed by Patricia Monahan, Director of Audio and Deirdre McCarthy, Director of News and Current Affairs, they confirm that "candidates both inside and outside RTÉ" are being invited to apply across a "wide variety of areas".

What do they mean as Joe prepares to retire? He's already checked out.

"candidates both inside and outside RTÉ" are being invited to apply across a "wide variety of areas".

So, even one of us here could get Joe's job? Ya, right! 🤭 It'll be someone within the RTE fold that gets his job, I bet.

And btw, I missed all of today's show. From reading the comments, sounds like I was lucky and dodged a bullet.

A Yank AI's views on Joe's replacement for the LiveLine.

Raymond's AI detector will crank up to 11 on this...

Are we okay to mock that AI accent? 😉

On the topic of AI, surely with 27 years archive there would be more than enough data to generate an AI Joe Duffy. NK could agree a small licence fee to JD for the rights, and we would get Joe in perpetuity. No more holidays or stand ins either?

A man waddles down the street
He says, “Why am I fat in the middle now?
Why am I fat in the middle?
The rest of my life is so hard
I need a photo opportunity
I want a shot at The Áras
Don’t want to end up a cartoon
In a cartoon graveyard”
Bonedigger, bonedigger
Dogs in the moonlight
Far away my well-lit door
Mr. Bakhurst, Bakhurst
Get these mutts away from me
You know I don’t find this stuff
Amusing anymore

If you’ll be my bodyguard
I can be your long-lost pal
I can call you Kelly
And Kelly, when you call me
You can call me "AI"

The comments on The Journal are interesting. Some of them would get you kicked off Boards:

Here a couple of the tamer comments:

Great in theory, but one thing that won’t be agreed to would be a small fee.

Yeah I gave up on Thd Journal a few years ago. Crummy journalism and the comments section is an absolute cesspool.

Mod: @Peter Dragon, where, and indeed if, posters here have accounts elsewhere is their business. Other posters are not the topic.

Is there an Irish pub Tehran?

Will a potential WWIII brewing be mentioned today?

A lot of bullets flying around. I don't think you can be so lucky two days in a row.

Slow sets and giggling from KT.

Gubbermint "consent" adverts stuck in the ad breaks... sounds groping gripping

The story they had in the promo yesterday but were too afraid to allow discussed - not up for discussion either today.

Instead KT is asking callers to call in with memories of songs they got, ahem, pleasure from back in the day

I know people might need a break from what rude I’d hung on in the world right now but this isn’t it really. I didn’t hear the promo but today’s show sounds like a lot of dreadful childish muck.
