  • Love the show

    Im a Kerry man living in North Carolina

    It's great to hear what's going on at home keep up the good work on the podcast when Kieran says I’ll be right back and then he does not come back. It’s a real pain stop doing that.

  • Cuddihy is terrible

    Joe was a character and a bit of craic if Cuddihy was a bar of chocolate he’d eat himself. RTE has very little new talent coming through the whole organisation needs an overhaul.

  • Great show!

    It took me a while to get used to the format but it is a great show, especially when highlighting really difficult topics (such as abuse in irish schools). The lifeline team make sure to cover important issues thoroughly and because of the reach of the show you also find feel-good stories (such as people finding each other on air) in between. Looking forward to the show everyday. Keep on!
