  • Professional* and empathetic broadcaster, some subjects never on the program though

    Claire is a competent and personable interviewer. I’m glad that she stayed in broadcasting. She has a beautiful broadcast-quality voice which is a pleasure to listen to. A few concerns … one is that Newstalk (and RTE) still avoid airing anyone who is gender-critical, opposes the transing of children and the invasion of gender ideology into schools and society at large. Having Peadar Tóibín on infrequently is insufficient. Laoise de Brun and Fiona McAneena come to mind immediately as potential... more

  • Claire Was Better on RTE

    I don’t listen to Claire as much as I did when she was with RTE.

    Newstalk have interminable ads before during and after each podcast segment. I’m not sure I can persevere-nor want to. Also the quality of the show is disappointing.

  • Let Claire be Claire

    Huge loss for RTE! Love hearing Claire’s voice. The Newstalk topics seem significantly lighter than the stories she was doing for RTE. Hope this is just because of the first month of transitioning to a new show. Newstalk, please let Claire take on more of the political news and events.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What employers and employees need to know about redundancy
Q: What should be considered regarding references after redundancy?
Most employers provide a 'statement of employment' rather than a long glowing reference; this is considered sufficient by employers and reduces legal risk for the issuer.
What employers and employees need to know about redundancy
Q: What are employees entitled to in terms of redundancy payments?
Employees with more than two years' service may receive a statutory redundancy payment of two weeks' pay per year of service, capped by a weekly pay threshold, with potential additional ex-gratia payments at the employer's discretion.
What employers and employees need to know about redundancy
Q: What happens differently if a redundancy is individual versus part of a group?
Individually, there is a shorter consultation period with several meetings, while a collective redundancy triggers a longer 30-day consultation and the involvement of an employee representative.
Author and Screenwriter Derek Landy
Q: Is this the end of the core Skulduggery Pleasant series, and how does Landy manage readers' expectations for future books?
Land y avoids confirming a final book, noting that revealing a final entry would force readers to brace for major character losses, while opting to keep suspense by not declaring a definitive end.
Son of Johnny Cash and June CarterJohn Carter Cash
Q: How does the show handle Johnny Cash's struggles and redemption?
The show presents the struggles as real human challenges and emphasizes that Johnny Cash had to want to change and take responsibility for his life, with the narrative showing his life transforming over time, rather than a simplification of the recovery process.
