This high-energy, zany, Ker-azy shtick is pretty common on msinstream stations in the UK and US for breakfast, but by mid-morning and midday it wears very thin. Their inability to deliver anything without laughing (fakely) is the radio equivalent of canned laughter, and their endless self-promotion and self-praise is nauseating. It’s absolutely lowest common denominator “comedy” radio. It’s truly terrible. Only Breakfast Republic compares to it for crapness, and Al Porter. But you probably like both.

Your fawning over mediocrity leaves me wondering that were you ever to find yourself in a position of power in RTÉ would your first move be to half PrimeTime to Lottie Ryan or to commission Joe Duffy’s elocution programme “Speak Proper and dat”. I just hope you’re trolling and don’t actually believe the stuff you write.

Hell, the original rumour in December 2013 was that Dermot Whelan was going to be part of Breakfast Republic. It was such a missed opportunity for someone who, having been a regular on Republic of Telly amongst others, knew RTÉ like the back of his hand.
