    Raymond down 12,000. The decline continues due to yet more people leaving the country.

    Any word on how Ray did in the JNLR?
    Last time he blamed the decrease on emigration. If hia listenership somehow increases then there must be plenty of people returning to the country

    Nope he's down another twelve thousand listeners, eight thousand of that is down to emigration with the remaining four succumbing to heart disease and other various illness as a result of not following Rays strict health regime.

    Probably because they listened to Ray...

    Ray is actually UP 5,000 listeners since the last book which was in January. Now, I'm a believer that year-on-year is what counts, but the upward trend should be noted here.

    Year on year he's down 12,000, but given that he's now back on the good side of 220k and going up book on book, I'd urge anyone who thinks this is a sign of any major decline to relax a bit.

    How just how in God's name is that possible with his listenership being up year on year? The show is truly awful

    Down year-on-year, up book-on-book. There's a big difference.

    Being down year-on-year is a better indication of the overall trend, but being up book-on-book suggests it might be turning around. Or that his figures last year were at an abnormal high due to poor alternatives.

    Feckit but he's getting some mileage out of the mistake the six one news reporter made last night. It's starting to seem a bit mean to be honest. I suppose he IS without sin:rolleyes::pac:

    Do ya know I was thinking the same, for a man who is basically the Homer Simpson of Irish radio he has a bit of cheek laying the boot into them for a relatively small mistake.

    Pretty obvious pathetic attempt at retribution for the brilliant Callan's kicks sketch of him on RTE

    Did they say any more about it during the week.

    So far in my sitting room I've danced to every single one of the songs Ray played this morning with my 3 year old.

    We're having great fun here while my accountant wife and mother to my child is working hard out in office.

    When the show is over both myself and my child are going to go out into the kitchen and blend 7 carrots, 2 heads of broccoli and a turnip, drink them down and go do an 8k run.

    We're the perfect family, being honest with you.

    He just read out a text there ( related to the should/should not have kids topic).

    "Kids are for life, not just for Xmas"

    He actually read that out..................

    Why the feck did he read the reviews out to the Rea and Murphy. Did they not say repeatedly that they did not like to read the reviews of their theatre work? Jaysus, he really didn't learn anything from that spoilers thing…

    It was a horribly awkward interview. Even Will got involved with the awkwardness with his stupid sex comment.

    Show has lost its fun factor, he does sound tired and tends to rant too much but the alternatives at that time of day are worse, biggest gripe is the music he plays inbetween, its mostly kack.

    I only turned him on today at 11:30 and had to turn off again after only a few mins into this interview...terrible terrible stuff....Bill Burr Monday morning Podcast, Adam Carrolla Show and Second Captains every Tuesday and Thursday, far better alternatives!
