2fm - New schedule coming

Yer wan who got as far as the letter S lately, I gave it another listen to try and figure out how much time she lost by not knowing answers. A highly subjective exercise, but I got 16 seconds. Dunno would she have made it even with those 16 seconds returned to her, that's still seven questions to go.

Generally it's very difficult. I'd say you'd need to be shooting off the answer to the question before Carl even finishes it cos it looks like every second counts. And you could easily get scuppered by one nasty question with an answer you'd never get even you had an army of monkeys for a year typing random words beginning with that letter. What was the one about the Portuguese pastry or something? Crikey.

As for Clock Blockers, I'll miss it, but it was ruined in its last few weeks in Carl's absence. Taryn took absolutely forever to ask the questions so that a contestant might have got through maybe 11 questions in the 60 seconds. It was impossible to win, whereas Carl always put the foot down to get in as many questions as possible. And I didn't like the way Taryn didn't engage with the questions when she was reading out the answers. At least with Taryn he'd offer some interesting facts about whatever the subject matter was. Where is she now by the way?

I never listened to Lily's Dilemma, I only ever listened back to Clock Blockers and left it at that. What was it? And what's the replacement?

I call it Willy's dilemma. Yeah, it's not a patch on Lilly. It's more geography based, which kids aren't as well up on.

A bit of regional programming from Cork. I see nothing wrong with it :) nothing at all, I see one of her dresses from DWTS is being given away on Insta, surely a bit of charity if every I did see it!

Not familiar with this but the point the poster is probably making is perhaps ONLY Doireann could be based in the Cork studio ? The remainder of her team remaining up in donnybrook - it works for other shows?

It really is business as usual after KB’s initial tough talk. 🙄

And even at that it took 89 seconds and without the last answer. So I say it’s virtually impossible to do with any kind of thinking

So then you're talking about getting the answer in as soon as you think you know either what the question is going to be ("What J played Rachel Gree..." → Jennifer Aniston) or that there's only one possible answer (e.g. "What O is a county that…" → Offaly, it doesn't matter what the rest of the question is). And you'll need a ton of luck that the question isn't something that's gonna kill you then and there. For example, if you've never heard of Ulysses by James Joyce and that's your U question, you're screwed.

A great idea to bring Doireann back. Especially know she’s expecting

a cushy number on her part

So women who might be having children shouldn't get jobs now, is it?

Didn't she say she was leaving to "pursue the projects I've been dreaming about" before coming back six months later? I mean, who among us hasn't had lifelong projects that we completed within six months?

I assume she left thinking companies would be queuing up to partner with her or they'd be an offer from another broadcaster, when it didn't happen, she came back. And for some reason, 2FM didn't hold it against her and gave her a top slot straight away.

Nothing has changed, has it?

With regards to the question posed in your last paragraph - RTÉ had to ask her agent first.

I hear Shireen Langan is about to leave SPIN 1038, could she possibly be in line for a 2FM show?
