Christ on a bike, I haven't heard anyone moan so much about covid as her (even before she caught it). Yes Mairead, it's a ****ty situation, we are all in it but the radio is ment for forgetting how **** things are at the moment, not for you to use it as a personal platform to moan for 2 hours!

Over the past decade or so, they've dropped a lot of their heavier content. They used to have a more substantial news bulletin around lunchtime and things like the Sunday Business Show and Sam Smyth's current affairs program at the weekends. I'd say the powers that be would drop The Last Word in a heartbeat because it surely has to be the most expensive show they have.
