  • Misophonia episode

    I’ve never heard anyone swallow and smack their lips so loudly so frequently.

    Totally disgusting so close to the mic, and this happens every single episode.

  • Not for me but…..

    I have listened to every single episode but I can’t listen any more. Every episode mentions ai/chat gpt and how well off other people are. This coming live from Merrion Row with a holiday home in Dunmore East!!! And Mairead flying to London to see It Matilda when it is on in Dublin. It is tedious and completely tone deaf. 5 stars for Bernard is a must listen though. I love Bernard!
