    Was the weekend sports review on today? Usually tune in around 11.40 but didn't hear it. Did I miss it?

    Wasn't in podcast feed so I assume not. Interview with taoiseach took a good chunk of time, so may have got pushed. Hope they keep the segment though, its a nice little roundup for a Monday.

    Deep end in the context of starting a new gig with a really big interview.

    Of course as you say she is experienced but even someone with her experience must be a bit daunted taking over such a big show.

    I don't think she blew it at all.

    Too soon to make a definitive judgement.

    Thought she sailed through it without a blip.

    I think it might be what the college radio fans are missing. Professionals get it done without fan fair. You hardly notice it.

    I've never really heard RTE sound cheap and unprofessional before Sarah Mc. It had a spin 103 feel to the show. Awful stuff.

    Pretty much anyone can do what Sarah Mc can do. I'd have a go at that myself. Very few can do what CB can do.

    I think you missed the point.


    Getting all uppity and starting a childish spat on radio with some of the most incompetent politicians known to man. Is easy enough. You could pull someone from a pub to do it. That's what Sarah Mc does. It's unprofessional. It's child like. Anyone could do it.


    Flowing through a show with professionalism and delivering a silky, mistake free few hours is extremely difficult.


    That's the difference between someone like CB and the completely unsuitable for a "grown up" show Sarah Mc.


    Just read the twitter reactions.


    The lowest common denominator of Irish society bulling because there's not an angry bumbling idiot interrupting MM.


    These are not radio fans. If you want to listen to that sort of rubbish go to the pub and listen to the arm chair experts talking over each other.


    That's not what radio is about.

    I thought the Sarah Mc thread had closed? You really need to leave it go.

    Maybe I'm wrong but the format of the show seems to be switching to that of light magazine rather that cutting edge current affairs. Discuss!!

    We're talking about someone who would have started drinking in the late 1930's

    Maybe you are, maybe you're not, I just think it's far too early to even try to judge!

    True, but can it not be discussed?

    Ah here!


    Gillian Hussey was an absolute legend of a DJ, I'd always have time for her. Never did anyone tell it like it is quite like her!

    Except Pat would spend god knows how long telling us how much he knows about the subject matter.

    Happened again today.
    He puts a question and asks the questionee -is theanswer a, b, c or d ? The answer was literally -All of the above!

    This is a most annoying feature of all interviewers. -that they use this multiple choice format. A good producer would stamp this out . Ask an open question and let the expert responder select the answer applying their own emphasis and priority.
