Say Your Number · 12-02-2017 8:02pm #1

Haven't listened to much of this so far, but really enjoyed the interview with Damien Duff this week.

Can't stand Dunphy's spoofery on the TV, but he's definitely more suited to the less dramatic and more thoughtful confines of a Podcast, where he doesn't feel as obliged to act the ejit all the time.

Is it just an interview every week or what's the format?

Dunphy plays the fool for the camera, but always comes across well on the likes of Marian.

I listened to the separate two-episode interviews with the journalists Robert Fisk and Paul Kimmage and I enjoyed it. I haven't gotten around to any of other episodes yet. I like listening to Dunphy discuss non-football topics.

Love this podcast. Think I listened to everything other than John Waters. Enjoy the football analysis as its not too often although it's the usual Giles/Dunphy performance but the Robert Fisk/Paul Kimmage/Stephen Kenny interviews were great. Dunphy was terrific on the radio and it carries over to podcast format.

I found the Eamonn McCann (not a fan and hate his politics) very enjoyable also. He speaks a lot of sense about the north.

Mancomb Seepgood · 13-02-2017 10:03pm

I've enjoyed it so far (I can't bring myself to listen to the John Waters interview though).There are definitely a few of his favourite guests from when he hosted the Last Word,which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

The Eamonn McCann interview was great,it really got to the weaknesses of the settlement in the North that you'll rarely hear mentioned in the Irish media.

Dots1982 · 16-02-2017 1:01pm

Robert Fisk comparing the ideology of Islamic fanatics to that of the Amish just meant the whole interview had a asterix beside it for me in terms of being worthwhile and informative.

Enjoyed the Damien Duff interview, my only criticism would be Dunphy's lack of research, he couldn't recall some of the mangers or players Duff worked alongside etc

Was i imagining it or did Dunphy say at the start that Duff and Roy Keane are the only Irish players with premier league winners medals?

He did. Forgetting Irwin, O'Shea and probably a few others.

Well, thats wrong, John O Shea, Jonny Evans, Denis Irwin have one or 2 between them. Liam Millar possibly too.

Irwin, Keane, O'Shea, Duff, Kenna and Gibson all have 1+ afaik. Don't think Liam Miller got one.

Well Keane, Irwin and OShea have more than 1, hence the 1+. Duff has 2 all right.

I listened to the latest podcast on the way in (wasn't hanging on his every word mind) but I didn't hear him say that.

Now that he's beating the 'I said Ranieri should have been sacked all along' drum, does he think nobody heard him saying he'd changed his mind during the Duff interview?

Yeah, I noticed this too. He didn't want to say to Duff that his former boss should be sacked. Should be used to Dunphy's opinion changing like the wind at this stage. Still an enjoyable enough podcast all the same though.

Good pod today.

Lovely Bloke · 07-04-2017 8:25pm

Eamon Dunphy is an intelligent, well-read, knowledgeable and interesting journalist and interviewer. The non-Sport poscasts are excellent, and probably the best Irish-Political podcasts available.

He's totally wasted as the clown on RTE Soccer productions.

Is that what they say in D4 nowadays? :cool:

Rumpy Pumpy · 08-04-2017 2:02am

I stopped listening about a month back. Saying contrived stuff about soccer and politics gets boring very quickly. He's the SF of podcasts - tired populism masquerading as public opinion.

Still Ill · 10-04-2017 6:01pm

Still enjoying this.. Listening to all his football pods, and dipping in and out of the other stuff, depending if it catches my interest. One thing that I would say is that it could do with some sort of regular schedule. They just seem to appear sporadically when maybe having a Monday football show every week would be better.

allybhoy · 11-05-2017 10:05am

The interview with Ken Doherty last week was really enjoyable, looking forward to the second one this Friday although ive always had a soft spot for Ken

MillField · 17-05-2017 8:21am

Just finished listening to the Ken Doherty episodes. Surprised with how well Dunphy comes across in these podcasts.

I avoid any sporting guests Dunphy has on because his lack of research annoys me, but I enjoyed his chat with TCD economics lad about the housing crisis.

I've listened to a lot of his non-sport relates interviews and have found them enjoyable. However, I only listened to about 15 minutes of the podcast with the journalist Mary Fitzgerald (Ep. 43) before I turned it off as it seemed that there was ZERO research done. She had to keep correcting Eamonn.

dulpit · 30-05-2017 1:54pm

This podcast puzzles me for 2 reasons.

Why is he making these? There does not seem to be any commercial tie-in, so I assume it's more a hobby than anything else?
Why does the quality vary so widely? Some episodes are great, some are absolutely woeful, as if he was handed a mic for the first time...

Overall I like it though, he's been quite quick with some episodes on breaking news items (he had an interview with Peter Boylan when the Holles Street thing exploded)

Had been wondering about this myself. Perhaps there's future plans to monetise it? Although, he doesn't seem to be promoting it too heavily so I can't imagine the listenership is too high. Hopefully he continues making them anyway, as they are enjoyable.
He seems to be more focused on current affairs recently than football. Would have liked to have heard an end of season football episode.

WindmillWarrior · 08-06-2017 1:29pm

His last 2 non football podcasts on terrorism and the threat to Ireland, and on NAMA were really excellent

Tangatagamadda Chaddabinga Bonga Bungo · 19-07-2017 7:50pm

Both the Mick Clifford and Kevin Myers podcasts were seriously enjoyable. The insight that both of them offered on their separate subject matter was fantastic. It really shows where the medium of podcasting over tv or radio or newspapers can really come into its own as a form of media content.

I think Dunphy has 50 years worth of contacts/experience built up at this stage, and that can allow him to carve out his own niche here.

(Don't think I'll ever be a fan of his soccer analysis coverage though)

buyer95 · 24-07-2017 3:29pm

Cringeworthy stuff from Dunphy on the Rog interview.

Rog "You have to remember in 2000 I was the fault Munster didn't win."

Eamon "Ya. You gave a penalty away."

Rog "NO! No... Thats in the Lions series... No in Twickenham against Northampton in 2000. Jason Holland got a drop goal, David Wallace got a try and I got 0 points."

Great interview, but again Dunphy's lack of research really letting him down.

DuhJerk · 31-07-2017 4:00pm

Dunphy's laudatory interview with Myers has aged well

Dots1982 · 01-08-2017 4:35pm

Stephen Rea interviewed on dunphy show today. Spelled his name Rae. ðŸ˜•

_feedback_ · 02-08-2017 8:30am

Listened to the Ken Doherty episode. While Eamonn has loads of knowledge on Ken (I didn't realise the history the two of them have), I found it a bit annoying the way he kept cutting across. A lot of the time he would cut across Ken saying "I know, I was there". Be quiet Eamonn! We want to hear Kens side of the story!

Having said that, it was enjoyable and I'll continue to listen.

Quite a good pod, although I felt it could have delved more into his past (Rea's, not Dunphy's).

I'm really enjoying this podcast (I tend to skip the football ones though). I even liked the Kevin Myers episode although, as someone already commented, it hasn't aged well...

Ah Rea is likeable and down to earth but you are right, dunphy could have tried to delve into his past more

Premier League preview podcast with Giles & Brady released about 6 hours ago so should keep you happy

dastardly00 · 11-08-2017 4:04pm

Seems a bit odd that older two-part episodes are being re-released as a 'new' single episode

Episodes #8 & 9 (Paul Kimmage) are repeated as #70.
Episodes #13 & 14 (Robert Fisk) are repeated as #71.

He was on holidays

My one must-listen podcast at the moment, its been really excellent generally speaking.
The non-political stuff is at times superb, even subjects that I wouldnt have a great interest in, he draws me in.
Agree that he probably needs to improve on the research side, and perhaps some production values too. But overall I love it, regardless of what is on the menu. Always enjoyed his football analysis, so I knew I'd enjoy that part of it, but the non-sports stuff has really surprised me in a good way.
