Sean Moncrieff - Newstalk

madmaggie

Anyone else listen to Sean Moncrieff in the afternoons? I couldn't take anymore Joe Duffy, the misery was wearing me down. I'm not decided if I like Sean's programme or not, but it's a change from the unrelenting tales of woe.

Think they were just swapping the "Now you think your an adult" and TV segments.

Swapping it into the bin, by any chance?

That third girl they've got on Movies & Booze lately for all the showbiz gossip - as well as being utterly fatuous and superflous (IMHO) - does she qualify for the most annoying voice/accent combination, like EVER?????

Only because I really like the slot can I bear to leave the radio on at all.

I don't listen to Moncrieff, but I listened back because I'm into accents. It's all pretty subjective of course, but I don't hear anything 'unusual'. It's hard to pinpoint where in the country she's from, but when she says "yah", I was guessing Cork and low and behold...after Googling her...tis Cork she's from.

When we have Caitriona Perry, Miriam, Afric O'Connell, Baz etc. on the airways, this girl sounds positively authentic...but like I said, it's all subjective.

Covid can cause erectile disfunction now? A worrying development.

Felt they said “penile” way too much in that segment though.

I drove into work this morning, just because I didn't know the name of all the streets didn't mean I got lost.:P

Claire, I didn't get her full name, is doing a good job of filling in for Sean.

Can't listen to that slot anymore because of her. The most annoying accent on radio.

She add's nothing, a bit of showbiz gossip, who cares?? Just review another beer or wine, much more interesting..
As for the accent, agh !!!

I thought Clare McKenna was as boring as bejaysus !!

McKenna. She was ****e. Turned it into a show about her viewpoints. Moncrieff is untouchable in this slot. The usual replacement actually does ok in this slot too but not a patch on him.

I haven't listened to the guy in years as I find him to be unbearable but isn't this exactly what he does in terms of his own viewpoints?

Personally I do not find that at all. It is quite a left leaning show but that is because of the content and not what he says, except for the odd quip. I never read his articles so I assume his views come across more in that medium

Staid and boring as hell. It was like a reading of the sea area forecasts.

Stefanie Preissner played a blinder standing in for Seán today. If he’s not back tomorrow I hope she’s back again.

Heard a good bit of the show, thought she did very well.

I thought she was dreadful, I switched over to Lyric.

I thought she was decent listen. Could hold the interesting conversation akin to Sean.

Not a smooth as Sean but sure Rome wasn’t built in a day.

Seán’s been off a fair bit lately, hope he’s alright. Can’t help but feel Newstalk is missing a trick not getting Anton Savage to “sit in” for him, though.

Anton savage would be good in his spot alright.

heard him recently

He wrote a column in last IT about his cataract operation and detached retina issues. I wish him well but I'm sure he will be back.

EmmetSpiceland

Seán is back in the hot seat today.

Amanda Brunker is ruining Movies & Booze - ignorant, inarticulate and overbearing. She must be taking up 80% of the air time with her drival. Can we go back to, y'know, just the movie and booze reviews?

Bellbottoms

I didn't realise she was allowed back on radio. Didn't she get into some legal trouble on the last word when Dunphy was still host. Some sort of defamatory comments about someone.

Also why is she on movies and booze? Is she doing film reviews now?

whisky_galore

Has been clothes horse whose only recent claim to fame has been squeezing out other humans.

Bellbottoms

Now now. Let's not forget her amazing singing career.

They added a third wheel some time ago to cover entertainment news/gossip ... I think that's the brief anyway. I think Friday was Brunker's first appearance in this role, hopefully a one off.

Bellbottoms

What ever happened the oulde ones that used to talk about the weeks events. One was a bit of a Howya and another was Henry McKeans ma. I haven't heard them in a long time. Are they part of the show still?
