From yesterday's show, an interview with a very impressive Irish woman working as a human rights lawyer in London.
Heard that interview. Very impressive. Tough job. Hated by some states.
She's overcooked.
You're overcooked
She:d bore the hole of a bronze statue.
Put the paper down. Its all I can hear, someone shuffling papers.
Some break BOC is getting. He's worth that 250k per year, isn't he?
I was thinking that myself. How long is he off now.
Its only two shows a week.
He's only on €1560 p/hr so he's probably working serving at an Applegreen station to help make ends meet
Usual establishment panel discussion this morning, though you sense reality is slowly beginning to sink in. That the plebs don't buy the messaging. And there's elections in the air and some peoples budgets might be cut.
Discussions today about housing and right now
The Sopranos
The phrase "This is it " is liberally peppered about in conversation and overdone ok show today
Chris de Burgh - ugggh and he can feck right off.
Christy Burke!! Cannot hear his music without thinking of American Psycho. Perfect use of it in that film.
Thought he came across very well, bar the mouthy sounds being picked up by the mic.
He does seem like a decent lad. Born with a bit of a silver spoon in the mouth, but never hides from that, and has made good use of it.
He's had a very successful career in what he correctly said is a tough business.
Over 50 years since he was singing a few songs in Captain America's and still going strong.
Came across as a sensitive soul, albeit in his Dalkified / RDS world
Don't know much about him but he has the misfortune of sounding creepy whether he is or not.
To those who might know or speculate, if BOC is to move from this show where is he going? Just so I don't frighten or depress myself if I turn on the Radio to something that I used to like and he's there....
Oh, and who will take his slot if he moves?
Oo
It is rumoured that Brendan will get Ryan Tubridy's old slot with Sean O'Rourke getting the weekend slot.
It will be nice to hear some new voices on radio 1,
Some comeback for O’Rourke if he gets the “gig”. Didn’t agree with his witch-hunt either, funnily enough.
Golf Gate has damaged his reputation as an independent journalist. He was shown to be too close to politicians. With Tubs old slot being a light entertainment filler it is not too much an issue.
BTW, The team need to update his Wikipedia:
too close to politicians? Sean O Rourke's wife (in her seventies) is soon to be special advisor to Helen Mc Entee our Minister for Justice!! Before that she was Press advisor to Charlie Flanagan and more recently Pippa Hackett. Her son is now special advisor to Pippa Hackett.
This is WAY too close for comfort and its a classic example of how closely connected many of our media are to Government policitians! No wonder we are get no balance, no objectivity, no wonder we are all called Far Right.
We would have Seanie on the Saturday Show interviewing these same politicians, asking soft questions, then meeting them for golf or lunch afterwards.
good call dude, these lads need to hang up their boots and stop bleeding the system.
Way too much of a smell about all this stuff. Seanie has had his day, give some new blood a chance surely.
Way too close for comfort is correct.
Would, certainly, make it easier to stick to Newstalk for Anton Savage’s show if O’Rourke took over.
I think he would do well with the first hour on Sunday but not so good for the other three hours.
It's only a rumour anyway.
100%.
Somebody mentioned a fresh voice. While that would be ideal, we'll hardly hear one with the hiring freeze etc.
As an aside, if Sean's son is press advisor to Pippa, maybe itstime he hang up the boots too, she gets destroyed everytime she's thrown on a panel.
Harbour court.... Don't mention the inadequate Gardai response!!!
