Ffs, this thread is now a replica of the old Darcy thread for the last few years he was there - constant whinging and moaning.

There really should be two threads - one for the moaners, one for people who enjoy the show

Well thats "boardies "for ya! There is far too many negative posts among all threads on here. It's rare to find positive posts nearly anywhere through out the site.

People seem to judge people from the getgo before they have done anything. I don't think boards users are representative of the whole country, just a sample. (I actually think the opposite).

With regards to Al Porter, yes he failed on 2fm and why does todayfm think it might be different with them,radio presenters shows are subjective so can't ye wait until he starts before judging.

Of course he could well be a disaster, but he hasn't started yet.

.............now I better watch myself getting down from this high horse, with my ranting over I feel better.

:-)) :-))

It's ironic to have today fm running ads for people to study journalism with djs telling you what they're going to teach and their passion for journalism, and then the management appoint a half baked "celeb comedian" to such a key daytime slot, so much for professional journalism.

I was listening in this morning but missed the bit when they announced Porter. I tuned back in then after they'd announced it and they seemed rather nonplussed about it.

As you say, it's a real kick in the stones for people who have a genuine interest in radio that, in what it a very small jobs market, and for the most part not well paid, is packed full of comedians who do it as a means of regular income.

What experience does Porter have that he gets such a valued spot? There must be someone else who has put in the hard yards to earn a go. That said I'm glad it's not Alison Curtis (she's on that station yeah?).

Having Porter in there will do wonders for the diversity pie chart in HR though.

Nonplussed means surprised and confused to the extent that you are at a loss for words.

wnolan1992 · 25-01-2017 05:52PM

Here's a fun idea, as opposed to complaining about negative posts and adding to the negativity, how's about contributing some positivity?

Anyway, I'm worried that the show won't work this early in the morning as others have said. I listened the odd time to the old show and always enjoyed it, but I'd class it as far too high energy for that hour of the morning.

That said, I listened in for the first time today and the show seemed a bit more subdued and laid back, or maybe that was just my perception of it.

Say Stuff is always hilarious though.

I'm missing the advice bits and the occasional interviews of the old format already and I'm D&D's biggest fan. I really dont think I'll be able to get into their antics this early tbh.

To be honest I used that word entirely because I had this clip running through my mind.

Ha! That's hilarious because in North America, nonplussed has "unperturbed" as an accepted meaning. It's wrong of course but so is "aluminum!" :pac:

the end of today fm is nigh!

JoeA3 · 26-01-2017 11:04AM

I must admit I did laugh out loud in the car this morning at the prank Dermot pulled on Dave RE his garden wall... it was apparently another repeat but still... at least it wasn't from the morning before!

ILikeBoats · 26-01-2017 11:17AM

What was the answer to the previous Ah Sure Look It - "J is S" ?

hullaballoo · 26-01-2017 11:21AM

Jam is sticky.

First thing I thought of too. Hopefully the current one runs a bit longer.

Does anyone know is Anton Savage likely to appear on any daytime radio station ??

I don't think he will, he has his communications company to manage and I think when he was offered the 9-12 show it suited him as he could do serious interviews, have a laugh and play some music. I'd say radio especially commicorp has left a sour taste in his mouth.

paddylonglegs · 26-01-2017 04:48PM

Had a first proper listen to the show this morning. I was apprehensive about how their brand of presenting would work at this time of the morning, considering following antons and darcys successful show for the last 20 years (yes, it's been going since 1997!) I was pleasantly surprised though, found their show uplifting and entertaining. I think it will work well for this time of the morning. I did catch some of the talcom powder conversation the other day and found it really drawn out and stupid. Hopefully they learn to calm that stuff down

Massive fan of Dermot and Dave, so just happy they stayed on the national airways, was never a fan of the previous 2 occupiers of the 9 to 12 slot anyways.

What the story with Dermot and Dave's replacement or is the one that's on now between 12 and half 2 going to be permanent?

I really hope this is a joke?

prunudo · 26-01-2017 06:37PM

Have listened most of the week and I think today was the best so far in the 9-12 slot, they sounded as comfortable as they used to on their old show.

Tbh I found them trying to do a serious piece about trumps immigration and wall policy more cringe worthy.

ILikeBoats · 30-01-2017 12:28PM

Yeah I think they may have been told to bring in some serious parts! Doesn't sound right

Eamon Ryan and Marylou McDonald will surely be the panel.
