Heh just spotted all the lads are patrons themselves. Discount 6 or 7 of those patrons when you are counting them up lads

A really big brain who created a flawed formula. Yesterday's pod explained a bit better how so.

Enjoying the day to day carry over of craic. It's closer to what used to happen when they were on radio in terms of picking up listeners comments and tweets and running with them. Something i thought was strained/missing from the IT pod rota.

Wasn't a flawed formula but the basis for application was flawed

Baggly · 03-03-2017 11:35AM

Ill take your word for it. Variables were missing, which in my book is a flaw, but im not a mathematician.

Arghus · 03-03-2017 02:00PM

It was only a bit of mathematical craic lads.

Murph's Country Pages. Back due to popular demand.

What's the Ken Burley character? Sounds like Ken pretending to know about rugby to annoy Welsh people.

Sounds good so, I might have to listen to the next rugby pod.

Ken Burley was great but I'm not sure it'll be as good now that the rivalry isn't as good as it was back then. The time he went on and called the Welsh cowards for not running straight ahead with the ball "the manly route" was genius.

Loved that piece on Wilt the Stilt, it was reminiscent something they'd do in the OTB days.

Speaking of OTB, it's 4 years since they left today, where the feck does time go?

That's exactly what I was hoping for with the World Service. That's what I'm paying for.

Murph's Country Pages better not have been a one off. Give the people what they want!

Never got the appeal. One of the their worst segments.

I like Country Pages. Was a little surprised they got to use the original jingle from OTB days...

Step 1: Don't fill your podcast with golf.

I kinda feel a bit smug getting in on the ground floor of this new paid service. Like anyone who subscribes after me is a sad newbie.

More Murphs Country Pages. Less Miguel Delaney please.

I think Jonathan Wilson is one of the best contributors they have.

So it appears this model is working out very well for them.
I suppose the fact that there is no torrent or illegal download culture in podcasting like there is for music, tv and film!

hidinginthebush · 08-03-2017 04:22PM

I'm loving the fact that they seem to be able to rehash some of the old Newstalk classics now that they're a podcast; Murph's Country Pages, "Thierry Henry has controlled the ball basketball style!", Ken Burley, all little bits I loved about the OTB show

Murph and his country pages need to clear off.
