    Must say I am enjoying the Hans Blix interview.
    Telling it straight, as he does, and I think Sean is getting a lot out of it.

    I don't think I'm going to give up on SO'R just yet.

    Surprised they mentioned Pat ... I wonder how many people heard that and thought "oh yeah, Pat is on Newstalk today" and moved the dial

    I think Sean needs to slow it down a tad ... he's still interviewing at a news at one quick fire pace. That said IMO he's doing very well so far - don't think I'll be following Pat :)

    At least Des can now have a chat with somebody who's interested in a broad range of sports, and not just somebody who's interested in the Man Utd result at the weekend.

    Listened to the first 20 minutes of both shows.

    Started with Pat as I wanted to hear how he'd get on and also how he'd do interviewing Ivan Yates. When he started with an interview with Bono (and a pre-record at that) I switched to Sean.

    Sean interviewed Edna, who I think is a great guest, and followed it with an interesting discussion - Joe Schmidt's take on yesterday's GAA match.

    I was away from the radio after that, so I didn't hear any more, but, based on that very small sample, the score today for me is Sean 1, Pat 0.

    I will listen to the new shows later on in the week. Sean O'Rourke is synonymous with one of RTE's poorest shows, The Week in Politics and it will be interesting to see if he can adapt to other formats. He is a good presenter and professional (but he does need the right content: afterall, Pat Kenny was also saddled with The Frontline, another very poor standard political chatshow that seemed to wallow in just one topic).

    Thats a bit like leaving a football match less than half way through the first half and telling the lads down the pub later what you thought of the whole game even though you don't know what the final score was. ;)

    So far, I was not too impressed with the show.He really had it a bit easier today with the funeral coverage from 11.30-1.If there is going to be more sport, then I'll be off on me bike:P.......so far.

    Was putting a funneral service into the show really necessary? Perhaps a president who died in office yes but not a writer that rte have been fawning over all weekend. Hopfully he,ll get his full show tomorrow

    Having listened to Phil Hogan for the last half an hour I now believe the words "No Problem" could be applied to him in the way they used to with the late Brian Lenihan Snr.

    He sounds very narky this morning, even with his head buried in the sand.

    He always sounds narky if you ask me.
    SO'R is going to town on him!

    You might be narky too if you kept being interrupted - what they seem to teach in RTE interviewer school.

    RTE daytime schedule:

    7-9; Heckling of politicians
    9-10 Miriam being coy
    10-12 More heckling of politicians
    12-13 Music my dad likes
    13-13.45 More heckling
    13.45 - 15 Whining
    15-16.30 Birds n stuff
    16.30 - 19 Heckling

    Does that much more intensively and to the point than Kenny. Hogan came across as anything but a 'hero' :D

    It might evolve into a question of "Who's Pat?".

    I love her! Thought it was funny when she said "would you use your own radio show to promote your own book??" implying, of course you would not.

    She obviously never listens to RTE!

    Gardening will not be Sean's thing, I fear he will doze off.
