Louise Cantillon just posted on Insta that she's filling in on the Pumped Up Kicks slot for the next while Saturday 2-6, along with doing Sunday 4-7 (Sunday drive), and Mondays and Tuesdays 7-10 (stepping in for Paula MacSweeney).
Claire Beck was in the 7-10 slot last night - might she be presenting that temporarily too (and maybe Wednesdays?)? She was hosting Sunday drive up to this point so probably a shuffle in the schedule and hopefully still doing Saturday Soundsystem of course.
I don't know who Louise Contilon is from Adam but I bet she's recently been on Spin 1038 or Spin SW as It's been donkeys years since Today FM brought in an new fill-in presenter who hasnt come from Spin
What?
Literally Pamela Joyce…
He did say a "fill in" which Louise isn't. She has the weekend afternoon slot for the foreseeable. Spin is the handiest as they are part of Bauers "Go Loud" network. It's a wonder Cash Machine Barry hasn't got a slot yet.
Have Today FM ever moved someone from 98 fm over or is it usually always Spin? I remember Jessica Maciel was on Spin for a while
And Pamela was doing what before she got her job?
Dermot and Dave were moved from 98FM.
That was so long ago that I forgot! Has there been nobody else since then?
In the past five-or-so years, Graham and Nathan, Ed Roche and Valerie, Louise Cantillon, Steve K and Jessica Maciel have all either done cover on Today FM or been moved from Spin to Today FM.
I can’t think of anyone recently making that move from 98 fm.
Edit: Peter Collins who is on Spin has also been doing cover on Today Fm.
I've heard her on Radio Nova as well. She filled in for Dee Woods once
I love Bad Joke Tuesday, but dear lord, never, ever bring Pamela Joyce in again. I had to turn it off today her laugh was so annoying. And I say that as someone who listens to her show, and it's usually ok (mid afternoon fluff).
Also, where's Dermot this week?
Anyone else having an issue playing TodayXM on the go loud site?
No, it's working fine for me. The app is flaky sometimes, you need to completely kill it and re-open.
I haven't heard Dermot's whereabouts being mentioned
I play Ed Smyths show on playback during the day and I've noticed problems with it this week in particular
Was there anything said on this?
Not that I've heard. No sign of him again today
No it's very odd. Hope everything ok. Dave does a decent enough job on his own but the show really misses Dermot's comedy.
Agree, missing dermot on the show. His social media shows some posts on his family life/hobbies. Could be taking time off or working on another project?
Possibly, but why not say? Seems more like he has been benched for internal reasons that are specifically not being stated publicly.
anyone know the Cash amount for today 19/9?
53467.49
turn on the radio, they usually mention it every 10min.
Gamble responsibly
If you don't hear it on Today FM, you will hear it on one of the other stations on the "Go Loud Network", i.e. Bauer Media-owned stations - Newstalk, 98FM, Spin1038 and Spin SouthWest.
He's probably recording some new ads for appliances delivered!
They've come back from the dead. I wonder if it's DOBs baby? Dermot had a share in the old appliancesdelivered from a few years ago I think.
Listened to some Ray Foley on Friday in the car, must say that his mix from 4 to 4.30pm is excellently done. I might even go as far as that it's better than Block Rockin Beats which can be on auto reshuffle from the previous week.
He’s back tomorrow according to Dave.
"Pamela Joyce is in 3 hours early to tell us something". Immediate switch of station.
😀 I did exactly the same thing! Plus Pharrell Williams.
Did the same when I came back in after lunch to hear Foley going on about, I dunno, some shite about a "craic harvester" at the ploughing championships, complete with sound effects of a tractor. Oh, how I laughed. As I switched over to 8 Radio.
