Today Show with Sarah McInerney

[Deleted User]

Séan O’Rourke has left the desk for good, and Sarah McInerney has stepped into his seat. We wish her well.

The usual rules of decency apply, carry on.

Interrupting people and getting stroppy is not a technique. It's lack of experience

Her lack of experience is part of it but all news and current affairs shows on RTE radio have a culture of "gotcha" style interviews. We'll see if Clare Byrne can defy the producers and allow people to talk.

McInerney has some good qualities. She just needs to learn (or be trained) how to extract information from the people she interviews.

A position way too highbrow for you then?

She did indeed. She used to present the Breakfast Show with Ger Gilroy. If memory serves me correct, he left, Ivan came in, Claire moved out after a while.

While it's disappointing to see, we knew Sarah would only be in the seat for the summer. She played a blinder in my opinion.

I'll give Claire a listen, if it's in anyway resembling her TV show, I'm out.

Another NK stabled horse in the RTE ring, you'd wonder sometimes who's running the fcuking place.

Exactly. Is nobody out there asking questions as to why the ceo of one private company seems to hold the key as to who gets the top presenting jobs on our public broadcaster, who all come from his own agency? To me that harks back to the stuff of the old FF/Haughey era.

I'm presuming his offers RTE the advantage that he will look after all the good publicity on their behalf. But it seems to me, at least, he plays a very significant role in the running of the national publicly-funded broadcaster.

I can predict the future (except for winning lotto numbers!)

I predict there will be a glowing interview in the Indo with Claire Byrne telling us all about how she juggles a hectic media career with a busy family life! Just wait and see!

No, your disdain for broadcasters who are demonstrably good.

In your opinion.

FWIW, I think McInerney has been good in this role and has improved considerably from her Newstalk days.

Not forgetting her COVID diagnosis and dramatic hosting of a programme from her (newly built) garden shed.

- She may forget to mention that she did it so she'd be paid for the couple of weeks and that it was poor watching for the rest of us.

I wonder will Sarah be given the opportunity to interview SO'R about his attendance at the infamous golf dinner in Clifden before she leaves?

Fair play to Sarah mentioning Seán and the others that they know attended and inviting them to respond

Yes, plenty of ammo, but it will be a case of “Ready, Fire, Aim” next week

Apart from the constant “ sorry to interrupt “ every few mins and disdain when a guest doesn’t conform to her own opinion .

She is performing well this morning. She has to get a big gig after this.

Exactly, she is being fair to everybody. All getting fair chance to speak. Also went back to Dukes about Hogan & Woulfe on the back of texts received.
