Dog and pony show. When Claire Byrne moved from RTE she sold out sacrificing quality for cash.
Disappointed!☹️
I really enjoyed the first episode! My only feedback is that I wish it was longer. Very interesting and great topics. Just wish they would slow down and elaborate on the topics a little more. Well done!
I used to look forward to Anton Savage on the weekend-not anymore.
Lack-lustre. Uninspired topics.
Disappointed-again!

A current-events oriented interview and panel show that blends hard news with cultural and human-interest topics. Episodes frequently feature regional and international politics, technology, science, sports history, food culture, gardening, and social issues, often with expert guests or journalists providing context and analysis. The tone ranges from in-depth analysis to light banter, with attention to timely developments and practical takeaways for listeners who want clear, informed perspectives across a broad set of topics. A notable strength is its ability to pair high-profile guests with accessible, conversational exploration of complex issues, though some listeners perceive variability in topic novelty from episode to episode.
