    I'm almost exclusively a Newstalk listener (yeah I know, leftie nonsense, we get it). I also acknowledge the owner isn't exactly admirable but I enjoy the station, not him.

    Plus, I cannot stand to listen to anything else other than Lyric FM, as I find the music to be bullsh*t.

    So what radio station/shows do you listen to?

    PS: is Adrian Kennedy's show still as nuts as it used to be? I remember years ago when I lived in Dublin it was all about young lads joyriding in Tallaght.

    Lyric FM, with the exception of Marty. Allergic to waffle.

    I listen to Morning Ireland on RTE as the Newstalk morning guys are unbearable but Ivan is ok in the evenings. I just try and listen to whatever station Sarah McWhateverthef*ck isn't on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,055 ✭✭✭JohnnyFlash


    Morning Ireland on the way to work, and Yeatsey on the way home. He’s a top class broadcaster.

    Listen to Newstalk primarily but the two lads doing breakfast make me switch off.

    Wall to wall we need to help the less fortunate in society and never a second of accepting that a lot of people game the system. Drives me demented

    Soviet era radio as Michael O Leary calls Morning Ireland.

    Kinda see what he means. It's drap and dreary.

    Yates is the biggest pain in the hole ever, much like yourself Johnny.

    He ruins any interview with anyone interesting as he always makes it all about himself.

    Smug cnut.

    That is the only acceptable text for the opening post.

    Less of the personals, my friend.

    You hungover or something?

    Apologies Johnny. I'd six pints last night, not enough to get me locked but enough to put me in bad form. :(

    Pat Kenny in the morning, then podcasts until Moncrieff, maybe a bit of Ivan or Drivetime but probably more podcasts. And then god damn do I love me some Creedon of an evening.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,088 ✭✭✭✭El_Duderino 09


    I listen to LBC on the app. It's talk radio where they discuss the day's issues and take calls from the public, experts and stakeholders. Most of the callers are interesting. It's usually good chat. Mix of left and right leaning hosts.

    Nick Ferrari in the morning for "pull your socks up. This is PC gone mad".

    James o brien for the left leaning perspective

    And Jacob Rees Mogg and Nobel barrage have an hour a week where they take listener calls.

    Good station.

    OP already mentioned Newstalk.

    Joe Duffy all the way for me, god I love listening to people complaining and giving out and feeling sorry for themselves, I'd listen to him all day if I could....

    It's unfortunate Kelly & Creedon are in direct competition with one another, an RTÉ bungle.

    How would you shoot a thread title?

    Would it be word by word in quick succession?

    I’d say you’d want to be a crack shot to get the .....s

    Heard his show the other day for the first time in years and it is pure entertainment. His snide comments to callers under his breath are the best bit.

    I do listen to Galway bay fm for the death notices.
    They do a great death notice section.they turn it up louder than the news and sports


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,991 ✭✭✭✭EmmetSpiceland


    Marty Whelan on Lyric until 9am, Pat Kenny until 12, a bit of Moncrieff in the afternoon, Yates and Off the Ball in the evenings. That on the days I get to listen to the radio.

    Most Irish radio is utter tripe.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,482 ✭✭✭Gimme A Pound


    Morning Ireland, then over to NewsTalk for the bauld Pat. He's fecking great at current affairs radio. Sean O'Rourke if I'm off.

    Cannot bear Ivan "I'm incapable of not interrupting" Yates. Not a huge fan of Drivetime or The Last Word anymore either, but alternate between them.

    Otherwise night time music/arts shows and podcasts.

    The bit of music at the end is definitely a perfect accompaniment to the soul of the lately departed ascending to heaven. :D

    Sexy voice though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 366 ✭✭kal7


    Listening to Galway bay Fm, particularly the music selection always makes me feel like I am back in the 1980s.

    I like Moncrieff on Newstalk, different and interesting topics, gets away from the common sad/illness stories on other shows.

    Joe duffy as guilty pleasure.
