Her last show is on the 31st of this month.

Tbf on the house her father seemed to be over the entire renovation and everyone I know that follows her said it seemed like the majority of the fixings and furnishings and God knows what else was all gifted so who knows.
It is Dublin though so the shell was probably a mortgage in itself.
Unless the fiancé has the house with her, doesn't he come from money?
Where is Stephen Byrne now? TBH I thought he would end up an RTE lifer.
indeed, I think Ciara Kiing is filling in on Rising time this week, so despite whatever happened with the Chris & Ciara show she is still on good terms within the Radio Building
He is in Australia.
Their sports programme is absolute muc
Maybe she’s going to try out the Marrisge Bar to see what it was like!
Not being funny but I heard Joanne McNally on a promo on BBC Radio 2. I was always under the impression the BBC hired actual talent so not sure what Joanne is doing there but maybe Doireann sees herself on a similar trajectory?
Seeems she wanted out. Laura Fox next cab off the rank? Either that or they"ll scrap the 3 presenter concept and start over.
Yeah I could see Laura getting the nod if they decide to keep the format and replace Doireann. I think she was in covering recently. I could see Carl wanting to stay on but not sure about Donners. Either way there’ll be a shake up of sorts, you’d imagine.
raises a question why three is needed - could see them moving the Johnnies there
There hasn't been anything said about Donncha or Carl leaving.
Donnacha will be fine, just shove him in a Rugby/sports type shows, Carl doesn't have much options he goes
No, but you always get the feeling breakfast radio isn’t a long-term gig for everyone, what with the early starts etc. On top of other commitments they have on, particularly in the case of Donncha with his punditry, this could be the natural breaking up of the show.
I think it's some podcast or other maybe? She was on Ellis James and John Robins recently plugging it too. The difference is she has a profile in the UK especially with doing Taskmaster.
I think there are a few things that you have to remember about where presenters/hosts/dj/celebrities are in their careers. You have reached the top of your career when you've got to national radio or TV in any country. After that you need to be branching into other territories, otherwise your either moving down or across (across isn't a bad move).
According to the article below Doireann's podcasts have more listeners than her 2FM breakfast show, though I don't think your comparing like with like TBH. But its is behind the paywall
https://www.independent.ie/opinion/comment/ellen-coyne-doireann-garrihys-instagram-followers-are-double-her-2fm-shows-listenership-so-is-it-any-wonder-shes-leaving/a1933413102.html
I’ve never had a podcast so I don’t know how their stats work. If I press play on an episode and listen to three minutes, does that count as a listen? If I listen to three different episodes, does it count as three listeners or does it know I’m one listener?
I listen to a lot of podcasts but I mainly just search for people I find interesting (for example, Spielberg) and see if any interviews pop up. I don’t listen to any consistently anymore and I would imagine a lot of people can dip in and out with interview-based podcasts because if you don’t know the guest, why listen?
Maybe I've missed it in the article but I see that she has twice as many Instagram followers as she has 2fm listeners - which is like comparing apples with sausages.
I admit I'm not a follower of hers but her podcast hasn't produced a new episode since Christmas, which was controversial in RTE too. It may well have been that particular podcast, a commercial interview with RT that led to her departure. She was heavily criticised internally for that especially when RTE programmes were looking to interview RT at the same time.
think its downloads
Ray foley took joy with the news on his show this afternoon
A podcast on BBC sounds I thought. Has she an actual show on a station ?
yeah I think it was an ad for a BBC podcast but my heart sank as I hoped it wasn’t tge thin edge of the wedge and we’d be hearing much more from her before long.
Perhaps but which begat which. Big difference between paddling yer own canoe and having a gig in RTE.
surprised he have time to comment on it with his mentioning the cash machine.
Donnacha can’t be in a two person setup. He can’t run the ship on his own. Crazy after all these years he hasn’t a clue what to do if left on his own. Never mind him based in cork pretty much 4-5 days a week
Id say she already has a big deal. She has a new mortgage
Laura Fox is the favourite to replace her.
I assume like YouTube there are more analytics like when people stopped listening what portions were listened to the most etc etc.
We hear very little about how well Podcasts do really, all these people seem to have podcasts but I wonder how many are listening.
NNot the biggest fan of Joanne (although she's quite good on Taskmaster)but she's miles ahead of Doireann in terms of talent
Laura fox won't be a good fit
You clicked into this actual thread on a radio forum to ask this question that had 25 previous comments talking about who she is, what she does etc?
please not with Fox - another grifter line Doireann and such a bore
