Didn't they move to 98FM last year and the show only lasted a few weeks ?

they moved but it is still going 10-12 mornings and again at night but this seems to be a "best bits" rather than a repeat of the morning show.

Resurrecting an old chestnut again, "Bisexuals are just greedy" wonder how this will go? Probably the same as the other 20 times I've heard it from this pair.

But Jeremy said it's something they've never talked about before on the show :P

They said that about almost every topic, especially the Women Driver debate he brings up at least once a month.

Jeremy Dixon is a prime troll.

"Foreigners leaving buggies at bus stops as they can get new ones off the social" must be due another airing any time soon

Jeremy/Adrian always have a little story to tell at the beginning of the Random Hour, which they just-so-happen to turn into a phone-in slot.

So contrived and staged.

Well, it's usually 'We got a Facebook message/voicemail'

That's how they start the first hour everyday like today haha.

This Breda/Bosco is one of the most consistently annoying regulars. I really hope she's an actress.

qt3.14 · 16-04-2015 09:29PM

The regulars are the weakest part of the show. It can be actually interesting when there's real people on but Jude/Nikita et al are such blatant stereotypes that it's not worth listening to.

Birneybau · 17-04-2015 10:16AM

Bloke on right now claiming to be a granny. It's obviously a man, idiots.

I'm just tuning in now, so I'll listen out for him.
Maybe it's also the same guy who rings up claiming his name is Precious.
He's as Irish as they come and sounds about 15.

I here the show occasionly and think its fun sometimes. the jude person is real because i have a cousin who works with him - he works for the An post. most of us commenting know everything about the show so we are listening to the show which is good for them

Birneybau · 17-04-2015 05:45PM

There's snobby Jude, mental religious Pat, scobie Nikita (hasn't been on in a while) and mad/snobby Breda/Bosco.

Any I've forgotten?

haven't listened in a while but tuned in this morning, one of Jeremy's "friends" says he won't date a woman with a kid....an old favourite, cue some young lad who agrees and a barrage of single mothers saying "how bleedin dare you...."

They always seem to have the same skangers people ringing into that show everyday. Its like Jeremy Kyle but a little tamer but all the participants have the same low IQs

These guys are on in the morning now ?

For about a year. The night time "show" is a repeat, and not even guaranteed to be a repeat from that morning.

Are you sure that the later show was a repeat - although I have only listened for about 5 minutes.

If it is a repeat shouldn't they be saying things like ' this show is a repeat, if you call or text you will be charged but your comment won't get read' every once in a while?

somesoldiers · 23-06-2015 09:06PM

Yes it is always a repeat except for the first few weeks of the new show where they did both. You'd imagine they would hVe warnings but they probably don't, try complaining, they'll probably get a surprise that anyone is paying attention

Absolutely.

What have they done to this show? My god its painful to listen to, I had time for Jeremy on FM104 but on 98 I am not even sure why he is even on air? They should move the time slot up a little to around mid-day till 2/3pm, mid morning is no place for such a talk show.

Niall B is about the most decent talk show I can just about tolerate. I don't even listen to the phoneshow anymore, your mans voice is just wayyyyy too much !

I used to be a big fan of the "Get it off your chest" hour on 104 and missed it when it stopped. I tried listening for a while on 98 but anytime I tuned in recently it just seemed to be talking about "serious" topics, which they love posting up on FB while they sit back and watch people who have not enough sense to realise that it's just bait, proceed to argue with them....
sorry lads, one time fan that has lost all time for ye

Anyone notice that Dublin Talks at night has been finishing early recently, around 11:30 or so with music being played instead. I have to say as a regular listener to 98FM, I can't stand how repetitive and automated the night time show is. What makes it worse is the inserts at the start of the show saying "good evening welcome to tonight's edition of Dublin Talks for Tuesday the 17th" then it transcends into a conversation that I've already heard so much that I almost know most of it off by heart. Surely the nightly repeat of the show is turning listeners off? It bugs me so much that I question why they have a night time edition at all. I understand the JNLR figures don't measure past a certain time in the evening and I know this is part of a broader issue but surely a commercial station shouldn't be so automated between 9-12am with syndicated Seacrest and Dublin Talks repeats not to mention 12-6am having no DJ also. I dislike how dead 98FM is at nights.

It's probably cheaper to just repeat the show than pay someone to run a new show also it probably contributes to talk input?

They do - they just rarely get published because for most stations they're in single thousands (or are a single thousand, the lowest calculable). There's JNLR figures for 24/7.

I suspect the repeat is to bolster their news & current affairs figures although what times of day they cover for a station depends on their PPS agreement with the BAI.

Jeremy's stalker has been arrested.
I've seen her "handiwork" on Twitter and she was dangerous.

I know day time talk shows are more restricted in what they talk about but does anyone else notice that all they talk about everyday is topics on children, so much that I'm becoming sick of it

Yeah, it's such a boring show, hairdresser radio. Nothing like the old Phoneshow.
