Sean Moncrieff - Newstalk

ballsymchugh · 26-08-2019 01:52AM

realised while listening on friday, Tom Dunne seems to be a much better interviewer, found him to go with the flow of the conversation much better than Sean would, who seems to just read the questions in front of him.

I think Tom's biggest failing is that he is a terrible interviewer, which is the main reason why his daytime show failed. Moncrieff is infinitely better at it.

Tom has a hard-on for any musos that turn up and tries to crowbar something in about his family and kids wherever possible. He doesn't bother with the intro weird news bit either.

I'm fairly sure Tom knows this as I thought he mentioned how much he hated doing that show.

Tom was brilliant filling in for Ray Darcy around 2007/8, but that morning show was dull beyond belief, he is a good stand in when Sean is away, but he's not as good interviewer as Sean.

Agree, he sounds like he's working at the weird bizarre interviews which Sean is so good at.

Tom is a music aficionado through and through. Get the feeling he absolutely loves his night time show. (I wonder what do he and Dave Fanning talk about when they meet :rolleyes: )

Tom with an Electric Picnic slot, quelle surprise.

i take that back. jeeeeeezzz.

ballsymchugh · 25-11-2019 04:36PM

someone really must have pissed on Sean's cornflakes this morning. the sarkyness is brutal.

on another note, his first guest brought some research she had done about abortion services, that the people availing of it are mostly middle class, mostly white...
just found the phrase 'mostly white' a bit strange, in a country where the people are mostly white.

Someone dared criticise Roe McDermott, his guest before So You Think You're an Adult

Yeah I think they could do with trying someone else out as Sean's stand in. I don't think it works for anyone when Tom stands in, and I very much like Tom (in his own show).

I suppose the difficulty is finding someone. Tom's there anyway as he's doing his show and his stand in, Richie, is also there anyway as he works on Off The Ball.

Count Binface gets my vote!

Amanda Brunker on the problems slot, clearly off her face.
How is this woman a celebrity?

Jeez - talk of scraping the barrel. Tom Dunne on for Moncrieff and the best that he can come up with is two salts of de earth who have put in a home bar. Hold the presses...:rolleyes:

Classic Henry.

Whereabouts in Ireland did you grow up ?

England

HeidiHeidi · 07-01-2020 03:19PM

Henry is very entertaing, but my goodness they really drag the arse out of those segments. Would be fine at half the length.

Clareman · 19-02-2020 08:35PM

I tried listening to the show today, my god his "ahh" at EVERY SENTENCE just did my head in, couldn't ah listen to him ah go on about ah anything

Del.Monte · 19-02-2020 10:07PM

At the end of the day he's just another big overpaid Newstalk baby and virtually unlistenable to any time that I stumble across the show.

suicide_circus · 27-03-2020 04:49PM

does esther mccarthy really have to do spoiler the whole plot when reviewing a movie. I was looking forward to streaming Vivarium tonight but i pretty much know what's going to happen now that i listened to Movies and Booze

He is a welcome relief from mainly sports obsessed NT presenters now scrambling to throw material together to feed their habit.

Del.Monte · 28-03-2020 12:27AM

I notice that at least RTE have abandoned their sports bulletins until there's some sport again. If Newstalk were announcing the launch of Russia's entire nuclear arsenal against the West they would still have a sports bulletin attached. :rolleyes:

whisky_galore · 28-03-2020 12:39AM

The breakfast show is nearly reduced to asking listeners what their favourite team colours are.

Sean making fun of someone with mental health issues for the laugh, good lad... ffs

In fairness yer man claims to have met all 230 + leprechauns and talking about their drink of choice and what clothes they wear etc.

What makes you think he has mental health issues?

Is it just because you don't believe in leprechauns?

No different to claiming an elderly obese man travels the world, goes down peoples' chimneys and leaves presents once a year.

It's a laugh, he knows it, Sean knows it and the vast majority of the population knows it's bollocks.

HeidiHeidi · 29-05-2020 07:31AM

I think Sean excels at that type of interview - where he treats with absolute sincerity and seriousness, and a total poker face, the latest crackpot theorist or fantasist (who to be fair are usually also keeping their own poker face on), and knocks a ten minute straight interview out of UFOs or aliens or leprechauns.

I honestly can't think of anyone else on radio who could pull it off.

A touch of much-needed light relief from reality these days!!

JJayoo · 30-05-2020 07:48PM

You have a lad seeing things, hearing voices, and believing he has been chosen for a mission, leave the leprechaun part out he should be getting help
