    I think a lot of you would be devastated.. (I know it'll never happen, obviously)

    I would call all the other chat shows and tell them they should be more like Joe.

    Same. I wouldn't even know what he sounds/looks like.
    I'm working through the day and my job wouldn't really be compatible with radio.

    And I've grown to dislike radio anyway unless there is music involved.
    If it's not music it's usually bad news or ads or someone morning about something.

    Well I'm under 80, so it wouldn't affect me.

    If Joe Duffy left, well... I,... I suppose I'd just have to not listen to somebody else at that time. I'd be overwhelmed with indifference.

    I only tune in occasionally and 60% of the time he's not on and they have someone filling in.

    When he is on he's one of the most awful broadcasters in the land: incoherent, self-important, santimonious, rude, ignorant of facts; you name it.


    He's never met a tragic situation he doesn't milk for maximum mawkisness. He's the pits: good riddance.

    It really wouldn't bother me one way or the other.

    I've only listened a few times and have found it to be a show where people feel they can complain about very trivial issues.

    I was shocked when a friend of mine told me he had called Joe Duffy about a personal but trivial issue. I asked some months later did the call to Joe help to resolve the issue. This was followed by an awkward silence and then a very quick change of topic.

    I'd probably expect it to be posted in some sort of radio forum. . .

    That type of attitude let Trump get elected.

    We could end up with Crystal Swing or Brendan Ogle in charge .

    I'd start a "bring back Marion" campaign to reinstate her to her original role.

    Easy enough to bash Joe but this is one of the few programmes where ordinary citizens get on air.
    A lot of the media consists of pr guff, politicians and spin merchants.
    Sure Liveline has it's problems and Joe is not perfect.
    If Joe left maybe a new presenter could improve the formula but most of the time Joe gets it right.
