No LGBT radio program on Irish radio

reposted in correct thread

I am not a fan of Dill. Her show is poor radio. But agree with you. But I did find she spent a lot of the show talking about her self, how great she is. She also played the victim card a little to often for my liking on the show.

Dillpickle did serve a purpose of sorts.

No, really-putting an absolutely vacuous and talentless objectionable boor on national radio ticked two boxes.

Firstly it reminded us of the futility of tokenism. The more she screeches, the more she irritates.

Secondly it ticked a box for NewsTalk with the BAI.

Before my time. But I do agree that RTE should have a LGBT radio show. But take the time from one of the magazine shows or Lineline. Arena is a great show, and one of the few things RTE are doing right.

Saying there's a lack of LGBT radio shows implies that there's a lot of radio directed solely at heterosexual people which isn't the case.

I could understand 40 years ago that such a show campaigning for the rights of LGBT people would have been important but Irish society in its recent history has essentially made being LGBT something that isn't that big a deal, we have in effect absorbed being LGBT into our perceived normality which is more important and profound a step than token radio shows.

Why are some zombie threads allowed to be resurrected ?? 🤔

Good question 😏
