Brenda Power this morning

Great moment not sure if she "planned it" but she might have cheeky sense of humour.

As per, she opened her programme with a monologue which took in the topics
of the day - low cut tops, cancerous dogs, clampers, Irish language. A few mails/etxts came in about low dresses and that there is no point moaning if you get a sly glance when wearing one - she then made comment of her own about ugly women in such tops and without drawing breath said "speaking of old dogs.." and segwayed (sic) into dogs with cancer.

If she had been Pat Kenny the phones would have melted.

But Brenda is a woman. Has it escaped you that it is perfectly OK for women to make disparaging remarks of this kind. Kenny, on the other hand ( contrary to widespread belief ), is a man.
Incidentally, did you hear the d*ckhead from Dublin City council who "refused to discuss the affairs of a customer with anybody else", and yet wouldn't talk to the "customer" himself. What a p*ick. Typical of the arrogant attitude of these " jobs for life " civil servants who treat with contempt, those same people who keep them in their job. First time in many years I felt like beating the c*ap out of somebody.

Don't know if I'd call it a great moment. Are you related to her?

:sighs: Another newbie who doesn't know me from Adam making some assumptions - it was a good moment as it summed up a type of broadcasting vernacular - call it Alan Partridge syndrome but I think it was sly humour on her part.

The way she goes on grates...

She's fairly right-wing I believe

Well I have to say I listen to lots of radio and I love it, but I have to admit I am a channel flicker! I listen mainly to Newstalk in the morning and then turn over when Brenda starts, she does my head in!

One thing that really annoys me is that Newstalk seems to be scripted and the presenters do not drive the desk themselves as a result of this the timing of everything is off! Another thing that bugs me is that when they are conducting telephone interviews they mute the interviewees line-in therefore if the interviewee wishes to come in on a topic we the listeners have lost the first few words they have said until they decide to raise the fader.

Good things about newstalk
