Tubridy Show

I have been listening in to what was the Tubridy show at 0900 hours on RTE radio 1. Have missed both the beginning and the end for last two days and so am unsure whether it is Kathryn Thomas or Lucy from Rodge & Podge, they sound similar or someone else!. Anyway whoever it is, is doing a very fine job of it. They have handled the programmes for the last two days with the ease of Gay Byrne and the topics have not been easy. Yesterday, she interviewed 2 ex cons who were drug users and she got them talking with ease and also managed to throw in what we would all liked to have said to one who may have burgled our homes, with respect. This am, she had David Coleman on re child parent queries and again it was handled like a pro. I would like to hear more of that type of programme. I feel it has been too lightweight in recent years although I was also a big fan of Marian Finucane. and whoever presented it yesterday and today, Well done for the straight talking which was respectful and not showy.

Bit OTT. Kathryn Tomas don't think her voice is as rasping as Lucy Kennedy's voice. The show is Summer on One. Kathryn Tomas has had allot of praise since starting the show, much better than Ryan Tubrity, pity she didn't get the show full time.

The OP isn't talking about the Tubridy Show Mods.

Radio stars to keep an eye might be a better title.

Lenny Lovett

I think she's very good. Seems to do her homework on the topics she's talking about.... unlike some!

Way too loud for the time slot, and way too much 'bonhomie' for the hour that's in it.


Too much emphasis on the celebrity culture and has a bang of 'Heat ' and 'OK' off it.

Otherwise passable.

I was pleasantly surprised with Kathryn Thomas on the radio. I think the medium suits her better than television, she seems more comfortable with it. I would have kept listening she was given the slot full time. I'm sure this won't be the last we hear of her on the radio.

I am enjoying listening to Katheryn too - I thought that she did a great interview the other morning with the 2 ex cons. She shows an interest but doesn't brown nose (well not all of the time like others). She deserves a regular radio slot.

how could anyone compare kathyrn to lucy kennedy!!:mad: Kathyrn is doing a great job on radio, she's a natural. before i started listening to her i wouldnt have thought she's be as good as she is. she should get a full time slot somewhere.

If she got 11 - 12 on 2FM that would be a surprise. Even give her Mooney's Slot on Radio 1.
