I like Newstalk in general, breakfast slot has become very meh though, and that Ciara Kelly wan is an awful whinge at times with an agenda on many things.

Like Pat Kenny - one of the best.

Moncrief - the format of the show is a bit muddled at times, and he sounds like he's been on the helium balloons, but I like his style in interviewing guests etc.

Yates - have to agree with previous poster - one of my favourite broadcasters at the minute, I especially liked his living with Lucy episode.

Gas man but takes no ould sh1te either.

Deebles McBeebles · 31-05-2019 01:58PM

Couldn't agree more about Ciara Kelly, Johnny. Its like listening to 3 cats fighting.

Moncrieff is a legend though, loved him since The End back in the day.

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

Fully agree.its a top class dead person music track. “DO DOO DOO” outro

Manys the row I saw in manys the country house where people were talking with someone trying to hear the death notices and it would kick off.
You don’t be talking with the death notices on.
Let a couple of shhhhh out of you to let them know you’re serious

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

This really is a bungle. They are the two best shows, and one has to make a choice at some point. Love them both. The two saint Johns of sanity.

I cannot listen to any news programs of any sort for more than a minute, don't know what has happened to me these past few years but I find it all to be spin nowadays. Not a single word that comes out the mouths of these people seems trustworthy to me, or even fecking remotely interesting. The same could be said about radio adverts - the just mostly annoy me with their selling fake lifestyles. Advertising chemical sh!te like it is manna. Meh. We are so far away from a natural life that I find the radio is like some kind of score to the a make-believe world. Might listen to Today FM if driving, Dermot and Dave can be funny and cheering, and it's nice if there's some good pop music as one drives along but feck me if there isn't a lot of nasal sounding drivel on there. And those hysterical mincing DJs usually make me turn off.Love if i have to be driving at night listening to Creedon, makes me happy. But at home, the radio if on at all is tuned to Lyric turned down low, just because it's the least potentially annoying.

Haha what a curmudgeon I've become

Does RTE radio not have a playback feature?

It does, I usually listen to John Kelly on the next morning after his show on the laptop.

Ah good. I actually wouldn't even be surprised if they hadn't gotten round to it :pac:

DelBoy Trotter · 31-05-2019 02:31PM

I don't listen to much of the radio unless I'm in the car. I'd flick around the usual stations (2FM, Spin 103.8, FM104, etc.) but usually end up on Classic Hits most of the time

Utter Consternation · 31-05-2019 02:35PM

I'd listen to Radio Nova a bit. They have a very irritating show during drivetime called 'Pat Nav.' A play on words with the presenter name.

There's always salt o' de eart Dubs ringing in with traffic updates and having forced 'craic' with aforementioned Pat Nav.

Abject sh1te.

"Alexa, play Capital Radio London"

Nova is a great station if all you listen to is “Thin Lizzy” and “AC/DC”.

Every so often they’ll throw on one of them “Drive” CDs shops try to shill for Father’s Day so you might get to hear something by “Boston”, “Fleetwood Mac” or “The Doobie Brothers”.

Complete waste of airwaves.

RTE Drivetime is awful.

I think they gave up even trying to be impartial some time back. Very much an agenda with the news, to generalise, a 'progressive socialist' one.

The other evening Mary Wilson had failed euro candidate McHugh on and it was like a girly chat. Zero hard questions. RTE's poll had her down for a seat of course.

What are they doing interviewing a failure? Where is the interview for other failed candidates with no political track record? Surely the seat winners are the ones who should be on.

If the guest's worldview coincides with theirs -> easy ride, no hard questions.

Fine if it was a private operation running off ads, but our tax is funding this propaganda.

There's a bit of potential with it. I personally do not like to hear the same Dire Straits songs on rotation constantly however. It's an alternative to the sh1t pop music that the young people are listening to today.

Dublin needs another Phantom FM type channel, that plays decent music that is alternative to what's on now.

8 Radio is a good internet radio channel that intermittently can be gotten on FM.

Deebles McBeebles · 31-05-2019 03:02PM

All this talk of sh*t pop music is giving me flashbacks of the days of Atlantic 252.

I put on Atlantic 252 last week in the car messing and it’s radio 1 now

ILoveYourVibes · 01-06-2019 12:11AM

Pirate radio is where its at.

hi5 · 01-06-2019 12:39AM

Pat Kenny in the Morning, then quite time until the afternoon and maybe Steve Wright or RTE Gold, Ivan Yates until 6 and that's my radio for the day.

ToddyDoody · 01-06-2019 01:13AM

When I was a teenager:
The Saturday Show with Will Leahy, 2fm.
Ryan Tubridy when he did the full Irish on 2FM.

01-06-2019 01:15AM

4fm for me but I really miss Gareth o Callaghan as I loved his show and he played loads of my favourites.

Yer Da sells Avon · 01-06-2019 01:45AM

I'd flick between Pat Kenny and Sean O'Rourke in the morning, then Moncrieff in the afternoon and Creedon in the evening. 8Radio is good too - great for discovering new music, just like Phantom used to be. I can't bear to listen to Ivan Yates, Matt Cooper or Ciara Kelly.

I like a bit of Radio 4 too - I'm Sorry I haven't a Clue, Just a Minute, The News Quiz, The Unbelievable Truth.

CollyFlower · 01-06-2019 02:12AM

Used to love Niell Boylans talk show but anything I tune in now it's always a repeat.. He has a great caller, called Shaun, an American guy who rings in regularly. I love him, I could listen to him forever.

It's a pity ****head owns all the independent radio stations and ****head's friends control all the state radio stations.

I’m a Newstalk fan also. Call me sexist if you like, but their female presenters ain’t great.

Pat Kenny is a god. Whatever money he’s on they should pay him more. Ireland’s best radio presenter.

Tubridy can be good on radio. Hate him on t.v. The guy strikes me as a smug CNut.
