Cool Calm and Collected. Gerry Ryan-I know he was a coke head but he had a great rapport with people. And gave away a lot about himself.

I heard him back in his day, he'd be pontificating on some matter one day and when it appeared he might be a little out of step with public opinion, he'd have a different rattle the next.

He could ab lib, he could get people to talk openly. Someone that genuinely could have made more money elsewhere . Maybe that's why rte belevied rte should pay everyone else so high? Dave fanning was a great rock journalist who had an exclopedida knowledge of music.. A man that knew more about music and his subjects than the people themselves. It's great watching back his interviews with rock stsrs and them being shocked and impressed with how good his questions were. Real quality insightful interviews . I cant imagine 2fm presenters today being that informed I think Tommy tiernans presenting style shows the most talent. Not sure if he counts as Rte or not
