    Current episode live since yesterday. Shots fired at Mr. Tubridy in the opening sketch.

    Yes, the salary is enormous, I understand that, but that doesn't affect my soul.

    Nice and not so subtle dig at radio show panels on today’s episode. One can’t help but think it was mainly aimed at Brendan O’Connor’s Sunday panel however….

    whoever uploaded this today uploaded an early draft it seems. On a number of sketches only half the audio was added into the mix, so you have the protagonist talking to himself, clearly responding to audio that hasn’t been added in…..maybe Ray D’Arcy did the sound?

    Bank holiday weekend. Oliver running out the door. He'll probably be missing from his radio show again for most of next week.

    Nice little dig at Marty Morrissey’s free car in tonight’s episode. ;)

    Leo Varadkar returns to Callan’s Kicks this week. Callan really does nail that particular impression. Given the history between them I’d imagine Leo will be “thrilled” he’s revived it.

    A nice dig on semi states sponsoring podcasts too. Kinda surprised NK hasn’t convinced one of them to sponsor The Toyman’s yet as it remains without a sponsor.

    Good episode this week, the Pat Kenny “Dub-ah-lin” sketch however was top tier - all it was missing was a appearance from professional salt of the earth champagne socialist himself, Joseph Duffy Esquire.

    A few nice digs at The Toyman and fellow NKM stablemate Dermot Bannon in the Tommy Tiernan sketch on the latest episode.

    Also enjoying the Simon Harris pod.
