    Eamo very out of his depth with this Beatles podcast! I do enjoy the variety and something different all the same

    Yeah, there was no edge to it whatsoever. Stick to what you know. It seemed like he was trying to shoehorn his buddy into an episode.

    I never warmed to BP Fallon after I saw him behave very rudely to staff in a restaurant a few years ago.

    Was never really a fan of him but Couldn’t be bothered with his rubbish since then

    BP Fallon has a particular glint in his eye that I reckon comes from his knowledge that he's stole a career out of name-dropping and piggybacking on the back of actually talented people.

    Just wondering, What was his role? A journalist/hanger on type?

    Certain irony to Nicola Tallant commenting on the industry of crime and career-criminals. She lives off that industry as much as they do. Whether we, the public, need the saturated coverage these criminals get is one thing - I don't think she personally idolises these guys as much as disgraced journalist Paul Williams did back in the day, making celebrities out of absolute shams.

    He comes across as incredibly arrogant and self important every time I listen to him, I might be doing him a big disservice but thats just my initial reaction. He seems humourless.

    The recent interview with Niall Stanage about Trump's racism was superb. One of the best in a long time.

    Rightly so in my view. Scary what’s going on at the moment, reminiscent of 1930s Germany.

    Back on topic...I agree Stanage really is a superb contributor; logical, balanced, forthright...even the Nordie accent I have learned to live with!!

    Yeah right! He's spent the last 2 years laughing at "The Donald" and his crazeee antics, and now he's worried? It's all playing to the gallery. Trump was equally racist in his election campaign before becoming President and Dunphy wasn't worried then...

    The Stand returns with another opportunity for Brendan O'Neill to try justify why he thinks Brexit is still a good idea and going to end well, dispute overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
    At least hes consistent, even if his myopia is maddening.

    Yet another one with Brendan this morning!

    He was on Sky News last week and was destroyed by a journalist from The Times:

    God she really schooled him. Why does Dunphy persist in interviewing this guy?

    He's an absolute muppet - he couldn't debate with her at all. He was shown up completely by someone on a different intellectual level: complete spoofer.

    The sad part is that it's people who share his mindset that have their hands on the levers of power in the UK.

    Locking horns? Have you not listened to a Dunphy interview before? It'd be fawning at best.

    Dunphy is usually kissing arse in most of his interviews. He's actually a bit of a Brexiteer at heart himself.

    I listened to Paschal and enjoyed it. Nothing special but he's a fairly clear and frank minister.

    George Hook used to have a right wing American chap named Michael Graham. I disagreed with just about everything he said but dammit he was enjoyable to listen to and I heard a different aspect

    Brendan O´Neill has none of these qualities, another podcast to skip


    edit I really liked the Graham Souness podcast from July 24th. His description of planting a flag in the centre circle in Turkey and running for his life from angry Turks was hilarious. I´d love more of these, Souness, Charlton, whomever else they can get

    Thought Eamon went in a bit harder today on Brexit Brendan.
    Brendan has been getting a bit of a battering by people keeping to the nuts and bolts of trade deals, politics and economics and he's been left fairly floundering in debates.

    Maybe Eamonn has seen this and realised Wonderkid is a repetitive whingebag who needs to be taken to task ocassionally?

    Dunphy's a Eurosceptic, but you can be a Eurosceptic and still recognise that Brexit is being handled in an extraordinarily cack-handed way, and that it's not the best way to go about leaving the EU.

    I suspect the reason why Dunphy has Brendan O' Neill on so often is that he's so often available. Apart from the 20 minutes a day he spends writing his Spectator articles in crayon, he's probably pretty free for other engagements. Probably sees Dunphy's podcast as a handy vector to spread his ideas amongst the Irish, and promote the general British strategy of trying to divide the rest of the EU 28.
