  • 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.
