If, as described, this is the best of Irish radio then God help us. Disappointing drivel. It might help to change the presenter who dumbs everything down.

United Kingdom2 years ago - Quality and standards restored!
How delightful to have Sinead Mooney present Playback again. Her selections and approach and wry humour make for great listening. Please keep her full time, she gets it! Well done to Sinead and the Playback Crew. Great to see it back to its high standards after a dip last year. Back in a bit... 😊
