    There was a discussion on gambling on Newstalk's culture progarmme in the last half hour and the General Manager of the Fitz, David ?? was on and he said that they have 43,000 members:eek:. I have only played there a few times and had to sign up so i prseume anyone thats even played just once there would be included in that figure??

    There was also a guy that worked for an online room and Paul 'The Hangman' Roper on. Mainly foccussed on poker and wasnt a bad discussion, not like some of the sensationalist crap you often hear.

    I'd imagine they include the one-timers or rare visitors in that figure alright.

    It was fcuking awful on soooooo many levels. Fionn Davenport is a great presenter but Im afraid, as ever. his researcher or producer failed to prepare him for it. As for Roper and Mulligan....they came across as ill informed wannabes that wanted to be 'on da radio'. Dave Hickson was good but didn't really correct the inaccurcies portrayed and perpetuated by the show.

    Awful radio. Just really really bad.

    Newstalk Culture Show Sat evenings. No, its one of the weekend shows that are not covered by their podcasting.
