  • Lack-Lustre

    Poor Miriam does her best but she’s not great. The guests are lack lustre at very best. RTE needs to revamp their weekend shows urgently. Surely the national broadcaster can do better. I can see why Newstalk are doing better in the ratings but they shouldn’t be.

  • What the....?

    How..HOW did this woman ever get on the broadcast media? Annoying, amateur interview style - “did it make you sad” and other inane questions. Way out of her depth on any topic and cringe inducing to listen to. In an interview about Brexit, she thought referring to someone as a patsy was disrespectful to the Irish..you could not make this up, she is satire gold without even trying.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bonnie Garmus
Q: What advice would you give listeners who feel they have a novel in them at any age?
Don't give up; commit to it and invest the time, because if you want it badly enough, it will come.
Bonnie Garmus
Q: Why did it take so long to write Lessons in Chemistry, Bonnie?
She balanced a full-time job, juggled commitments, and allowed herself a long, rigorous process of drafting and rewriting until the work found its form.
Duke Special
Q: And are you a very different person today than you were 20 years ago, or are you much the same person?
He hopes to be very different in some ways, feels he previously got wrapped up in a persona, but now is more comfortable in his own skin while still embracing the Duke Special persona in a healthier way.
Eleanora Kennedy
Q: What first drew you to Michael Kennedy and radical law, and how did your partnership influence your work together?
Our partnership began with a shared belief in justice and a talent for strategy; I brought intuition and witness preparation to the table while he drove courtroom advocacy, and we learned to operate as a tightly coordinated team.
Marie Baker
Q: How does habeas corpus function in the context of the Magdalene Laundries and what limitations exist?
Marie Baker explains habeas corpus as a fundamental remedy to question the legal basis of detention, noting historical issues, access to remedy, and later compensation schemes for lost liberty.
