  • Absolutely LOVE Ray

    I could listen to Ray D’Arcy all day! His interviews are always entertaining and interesting and I love the variety of conversations he starts up. I have been listening here in British Columbia on the island for years and am delighted to stay up to day with what’s happening in Ireland! I hate the new RTE Radio app so love that I can hear him on this instead! Keep up the great work Ray!!

  • Split ‘em up!

    I wish you would split up your interviews into short podcasts (like all other radio presenters do), instead these 1 hour chunks with 4/5 different interviewees and topics in the title. It is most annoying to have to trawl through an hour just to find the one interview I want to hear. I don’t listen often because of this..

  • Podcast format

    Please return to the old podcast format with single topic podcasts. The all in one style makes it harder to listen as all subjects may not be of interest to everyone. Still enjoy the program all the same!
