This has slipped from a proper exchange of views on current Irish issues to a back slapping exercise with old mates
Ivan made this podcast so disappointed Matt axed him. And he’s interviewing guests on the last word who were clients of the same PR firm his daughter works for. I have cancelled my subscription. If Matt is so ethical why didn’t he disband the Podcast and give everyone their money back. Does he actually think I was tuning in for his wokism? Ego the size of the Dublin Wicklow mountains.
I only listen to it for Ivan’s insight. Matt has got so far removed from Middle Ireland that he is almost unrecognisable as being the same presenter as he was only 5 years ago.
Sometimes it can be interesting to hear Matt get all het up about his leftist liberal woke agenda. Can be useful for a laugh that way
Not the same without Ivan
Taking Ivan out of the show is like taking the fig out of the fig roll.
Everyone knew that he would turn up for the opening of an envelope if it meant he would get a gig and readies.
It’s all altar boy no bishop since he left.
