  • 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.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Seánie Bermingham
Q: What inspired you to write the song about anxiety titled 'Don't Be Worrying About Me' and how did your grandmother influence your music?
He explains the song arose during a period of personal struggle and how visiting the Hideout forest and reflecting on family memories, especially his grandmother who lived to 100, shaped the emotional core of the piece and its live recording that includes her descendants singing, plus a generational message encouraging kindness.
Seánie Bermingham
Q: Tell me a little bit about yourself and where you grew up.
Seánie describes a rural upbringing in Mullinahoe, County Tipperary, where his family's farm and home environment fostered a lifelong connection to music and community, setting a foundation for his future as a musician and teacher.
Vogue Williams
Q: How did you deal with miscarriage and what have you learned from that experience?
It's tough, but you learn to focus on the good parts of life and the support around you, keeping perspective and moving forward with gratitude for what you have.
Vogue Williams
Q: Did you tell Joanne McNally your baby name and how did she react?
I told Joanne early on, and she took it in stride; she was slightly surprised, but it's a name I've loved since childhood and feels right for us.
Vogue Williams
Q: How are you feeling with the pregnancy?
I'm feeling grand overall, managing sickness but staying active with walks and fitness to keep a positive head space, which also helps with labour.
