Anyone finding that new episodes aren't popping up on the site?

For example- I clicked a link that sent me to the latest Nicola Talent chat which worked fine. But when I go to the site itself on my browser the most recent upload is Episode 229 (football from last week).

I'm not a subscriber.

Yup same here

Nice one.

The last Nicola Tallant podcast was virtually a repeat of the previous ones. It would be a criticism of Eamon that he tends to just cover the same ground over and over. For example Pogba in the football pods. If you're listening to the podcast regularly it can get pretty tedious.

Kingp35 · 25-09-2018 11:43am

There is a lot of repetition alright. I also skip the Trump episodes as I have zero interest.

By and large it is a very good podcast though.

humberklog · 25-09-2018 1:00pm

Yeah a lot of repetition from regular guests but it's very good at getting into more complex issues and explaining them well such the INM thingy and the Charleton tribunal.

dominatinMC · 26-09-2018 11:13pm

Thought the podcast on Denis O'Brien this week was excellent, got an education on the journalism landscape in Ireland.

Has anyone listened to Episode #250 with Johnny Sexton? Worth a listen?

I thought so. You don't often hear Sexton give interviews...

The episode with Brady & Giles disecting the Irish result against Wales was pretty brutal for MON Keano, and you'd struggle to disagree with anything they said...

Yeah very true on the Ireland game, I really think MON would be under much more pressure to leave if the nations league was on RTE. Most people werent bothered to watch because they dont have Sky and we're playing bad so theres no incentive to go to the pub to watch.
There seems to be a lot of people saying we dont have the players and letting MON off the hook a bit but havent seen the last few games where we look to have no game plan or organisation

I was surprised about how obvious they made it sound about simple aspects of the game that MON is apparently ignoring (e.g. preparing the wall for freekicks). I think you're right, if this was on RTE people would be much more up in arms than now.

Well with respect that’s because RTÉ have rallied against every manager that we ever had.

Enjoying the pods lately, naturally avoided the two interviews with the stooges.

Clifford is a great man, he should be doing his own podcast series. Always feel I learn something relevant and meaningful when he's on.

Mantis Toboggan · 19-10-2018 11:44am

I usually like Ewan McKenna but didn't like him having a go at Rory McIlroy or the game of golf. Was complete nonsense.

Criticised McIlroy for playing golf with Trump then he says he hugely admires Tiger Woods but doesn't mention the fact that tiger is good friends with Trump and regularly plays golf with him. Also has a go at him over the Olympics but forgets to mention that Shane lowry did the exact same.

Stick to what you know Ewan.

Unless I wasn't paying attention closely (quite possible) he didn't praise Tiger either, was commenting on how so few black people play golf, Dunphy came to his defence though.

McIlroy is a saint compared to Woods

Conservative · 20-10-2018 3:08pm

No chance McGregor or John Kavanagh didn't want to deal with Ewan MacKenna because he's a complete arsehole..

Eamo really knocking out the shows.. Great stuff.

D.Q · 20-10-2018 9:20pm

Dunphy hasn't a notion about MMA.

He had Phillip o Connor on last week, Ewan Mckenna this week.

Openly admits he doesn't know any other names in the sport, and seems to have a really condescending tone every time he talks about it.

As an MMA fan both podcasts annoyed me.

He has a similar take on it to most people.

Why is it garbage? It's just another combat sport. If people don't like it they don't have to watch it. Personally, I find it far more interesting to watch than boxing. Seems to me like boxing is just more widely accepted as a sport as it's been around longer.

The sport is fine, its the cult of McGregor which causes everyone to hate it.

Conservative · 23-10-2018 8:50pm

Listened to the episode with Philip O'Connor (can't stand him either) who at least tried to justify its merits to Eamon.

MacKenna only went to Vegas with the attention of whinging about it afterwards.

I have a passing interest in MMA as I'm a boxing fan but to write it off as a sport is silly.

Dana White is surely one of the best fight promoters of all time even if you exclude what McGregor has done in the UFC. Taking a fringe sport to the mainstream levels he has is incredible. It had a huge audience before most people in Ireland had heard of Conor McGregor and will continue to do so when he's finished.

If two people want to train to get in a cage and beat the living **** out of each other in the hopes of becoming millionaires, good for them.

I rather eat a tramps socks than watch golf but I wouldn't waste my time looking at a golf tournament so I could take about how ****e it all was.

Listened to that 1 with section today. Good interview. Not often you hear sexton being interviewed like that. Good 1 aswell with Mick Clifford on the disclosure tribunal calling out marian & her D4 dinner party clique

Did anyone listen to that Finucane programme, who were the journalists on it?

This was the line up-

Today’s newspaper panel included Conor Lenihan Former Fianna Fail Minister of State, Dr Mary C Murphy Department of Government and Politics, UCC, Stephen Kinsella Associate Professor in Economics, UL, Ken Murphy Director General, Law Society and Ellen Coyne Reporter at the Ireland Edition of The Times

Story gets going at about 25 minutes in on Sunday's show.

Conor Lenihan attempted to subtly separate Charleton's findings and Politics and why Fitzgerald left government by saying she was "vindicated to a large extent". Ken Murphy and Marian slammed him down.

Only one journo really so. Eamon had been particularity vitriolic about one 'buffoon' journalist in a previous podcast and i had my suspensions.

I know nothing about any of those people though

Yeah I didn't understand the journo reference in the recent podcast- unless he was referring to MF herself. But I'll have a listen back to it- I've to often listen to the Clifford ones twice anyway.

In the previous Clifford podcast I took the journo reference to be Paul Williams.

Yeah I thought that too. Paul Williams does not appear to be well thought of in the profession.

It may well have been Marian. In fairness to Eamon he is doing some service to me at least. I never realised how craven the media in Ireland really are. They are a roundly pathetic bunch.

Ewan MacKenna declaring the end of democracy in Brazil was a bit alarmist.

A fascist has been elected according to the title of the podcast.

A counter point podcast from a Braziilan would be interesting.

Not that I'm an expert on Brazil, but anyone who has visited it recently can see something needed to change.

If anything, like the USA, its too large for a single entity and should be broken up.

neris · 31-10-2018 12:32pm

Its not just Brazil the whole of Central & South Americas a basket case.

Eamonns really getting in to the criminal underworld here in a big way. That other podcast he had out on women murderers must have been the third or fourth crime podcast hes had in the last 2 weeks. He was jumping out in praise of the lads in the Kinihan cartel the other week

Typical lefty journalist, painful to listen to.

Dots1982 · 31-10-2018 11:32pm

I wonder how long dunphy will hold on to his Pep teams can’t defend narrative as they are probably on course to concede the least amount of goals in a PL season.

I kind of have enough of Clifford at this stage to be honest.
Time to let Maurice McCabe rebuild his life and enjoy his retirement in private.

John Connors on today, I'll probably listen later but I really hope it's not a love in, pandering to Connors.

That seems to be Dunphy's style though... I'll listen in alright, but not holding out much hope.

I'll be avoiding that like the plague. It's in these instances where I get an appreciation for how tough it is being an independent presenter. You are reliant on your guests, and if you go hard on them, chances are they will not return/tell others of their bad experience. So, I guess Dunphy is somewhat forced to pander to his guests, rather than go on the tirades we were used to seeing when he was a pundit on RTE.

dulpit · 02-11-2018 12:06pm

It wasn't bad to be fair. Not great, and Dunphy didn't go into anything negative about Connors, but still interesting to hear about Connors' early experiences in school. I feel like you may need to take what he says with a pinch of salt, but no questioning that he had some rough experiences in primary school it would seem...

neris · 02-11-2018 1:07pm

Think thats one episode I,ll give a miss, cant stand that Connors guy and his way of thinking

Dots1982 · 02-11-2018 2:10pm

Connors tells a pretty incredible story of his first acting class.

I found it an interesting interview. Dunphy’s style is to blow wind up everyone’s arse face to face and slaughter people when on mic and they aren’t there and have no facility to debate.

Been listening to the stand since the beginning, and for the most part I enjoy it. However, some of the guests are getting repititive, I don't think we need Stanage on every week to discuss Trump,or Tallant on to discuss the latest scumbag that's been locked up.

About the Connors one, I was in 2 minds to listen to it as I can't stand the guy. Was a bit disappointed that Dunphy didn't question him on some of the silly crap he's come out with in the past, especially the late late show comments, and tweeting about the lidl demolition in Dublin. Seems to have a very strange view on the world and a definite victim complex, where everything is everyone else's fault.

However I do agree with the poster above, Dunphy is in a tricky situation as he can't afford to be too critical or he won't get guests!

I don't mind the repetitive nature of the guests, but Dunphy has a tendency to spend about half of the podcasts going over older stuff, so if you are a regular listener it's tedious... It's like a step of stairs:
