Sean Moncrieff - Newstalk

madmaggie

Anyone else listen to Sean Moncrieff in the afternoons? I couldn't take anymore Joe Duffy, the misery was wearing me down. I'm not decided if I like Sean's programme or not, but it's a change from the unrelenting tales of woe.

And Sean has a major meltdown at the end slaggng off a texter who said he was enjoying the show until Sean went all SJW so Sean says something along the lines that he was a man of a certain age who was frightened to talk to girls and if one spoke to him his Penis would shrivel up! Even Annette was embarrassed with that outburst!
What a total ********( can't be too careful on this thread!)

Yeah, it was fairly unhinged.

I was disappointed none of the texters picked up on the hypocrisy in relation to the inappropriate texts made by women about a man. Maybe some did but they weren't read out. The only texts he reads out are ones he agrees with or ones he can berate without any come back.

I only heard the last 20 mins this evening, Sean was a total knobhead.
Sometimes his sarcasm is amusing, not today...

And yet people still listen and ratings increased in latest figures.

Now they have a panel of women on with Ivan to talk about rape.

Just rename it to RapeTalk and be done with it.

You do realise this has been a particularly relevant topic given recent real world events. Also, this is in conjunction with the survey the commissioned.

Why do you (and others) have such a problem with this being discussed?

Man texts in saying the Italian lady had a lovely accent, Sean says he should listen out for the sound of sirens arriving at his house.

Women text in implying they are masturbating looking at Jamie Dornan in his latest show, Sean has no problem with that.

The round table discussion was quite interesting. Sean must have been scratching his head listening to it because it didn't really tally with what he and many in the media have been pushing. I don't think any of them experienced discrimination in the workplace. None of them agreed with gender quatos. And most had issues with the me too movement. In short they were perfectly normal people. Common scene goes along way. I think this discussion may be a better reflection of women today, rather than than the usual representation in the media.

Love the show. Love Sean. He's a breath of fresh air most of the time. Albeit he's been on quite a few years now at this stage.

he's a condecending wanker.

It definitely shows that the majority of producers and newsroom staff in Newstalk are women.

Endless pushing of the women agenda. Also every single news report features a story on rape. Someone is really obsessed with rape in there.

They have some influence when they are driving reporting of rape cases on RTE, Virgin, Today FM etc as well due to this obsession which obviously has no basis in key stories happening in the public space over recent days/weeks/months.

They got a group of women of different generations in together to record a semi-structured discussion on various issues. Thought the contrasting perspectives were quite interesting.

Anyway, I suspect it'll be about a half hour per show for the rest of the week.

Just came on to ask the same.

Changed over yesterday and today, expecting to hear Moncrieff, but instead got the dreariest of round table discussions on 'womens' issues'.

I know gender issues are a touchy subject round here, but that was genuinely dull radio, and meant I was back to the podcasts both days..

Ol' Donie

Oh. Here's Sean again.

Somewhat abruptly.

he mentioned some 'craft' beer a good few times, I think he said at the start of the show he was involved with it.

Ya he was terrible today, especially for movies and booze

Heard him the other day when he had Graham Finlay on saying how in the future it might be possible to recreate dead people. Seans reply was of course you wouldn't want to recreate the likes of Hitler or Peter Casey.

Anyone listen to Sean with his sneery remarks about International Men's day, what a tosser then I caught the back end of So you think your an adult about someone worried about going out with a guy because he didn't vote for Michael D and thinks Trump gets a hard time! Queue the Trump follower bashing and yet man must be a Nazi according to Sean and the Shirley Templebar lad!

Ms McCarthy getting a big buildup on today's show. "Esther is also here." Indeed she is, and nobody can deny.

In other news, Tómas pronounces "Berkeley" wrong. (As in the bishop, rather than the Californian city, which given that he's talking about wine regions, might not be the one he's looking for.)

Jeez...........call me a prude but............today Tom Dunne is interviewing that very "proper" health woman about stuff.
I work in a busy office reception with lots of clients waiting for appointments to be called. On comes an in-depth discussion on how to explain periods from a man's perspective to his daughter. Soft tissue, once a month it sheds, bleeding, putting pads in bags in the bin etc. etc. Meanwhile my male boss is hanging over my shoulder which he checks the diary.

Aaaarrrrrgh is nothing sacred anymore? Does every single last minute detail of life, bodies, sex, personal intimacy, have to be discussed on the national airways??

Sometimes I just cringe. As I said I'm not a prude but its not always comfortable to hear this stuff on radio at work. I know I know there is an off button but you don't always get to it on time.

I agree with you. Probably my only gripe with Moncrieff is some of the content is unnecessary on daytime radio.
