Ryan Tubridy - Radio Shows Thread

giftgrub · 2008-09-26 14:28:13

I think it reached a new low for me today... Generally I avoid switching on the radio between 9 and ten in the morning, its just too risky However I have listened to Tubridy on occassion and have come to the conclusion that his show is getting worse Today it was a round table on "chivalry in modern Ireland" followed by…

How the fúck does Tubridy get away with a week off having only started the show, what, 9 weeks ago? It's absolutely mental. How long did he have off for the Summer before that?

Only in RTE.

Don't know about that. Where's Dunphy these days of a Newstalk Saturday morning?

I've only ever caught a few minutes of his radio show so I can't really comment on that. He's awful on the LLS , it's frustrating when there's a guest that you're interested in and he's choking the interview. He just doesn't know how to let the interview breathe , Jesus he's worse than Pat K and I never thought I'd be saying that!!. It's also the sign of a w**ker in the way that he slags and probes his guests but can't handle retorts. The guy just isn't genuine , give the gig to Daithí O sé or Marty Whelan even.

Did anyone hear him reviewing the papers this morning. He says he likes the Irish Times today as it has very strong coverage of the US mid term elections. That's fine. But he goes on to another story on the front page about our budget situation and possible cuts. Then he says that he was more interested in the coverage of the US elections. Was I hearing things correctly? This guy is being paid ( in excess) by the Irish taxpayer and he is not interested in what the Irish people are facing in the coming weeks. "I 'm alright jack" sort of attitude. His salary is safe. This guy is really out of touch with reality.

Methinks someone had a word in Mr. Tubs ear, tuned in this morning, not a mention of twitter, a balanced appraisal of the papers, a text poll on Harney’s paint job and an interview with a mother of a child with downs. Made for a pleasant hour of radio.

Maybe trends in the recent JNLR have shook things up a bit, or maybe Ryan has taken some of our constructive criticism on board:D

Listened to a bit of it this morning, no Tweet mentions during the 15 or 20 mins I had it on.

I really wonder do they pay any heed to Boards? This thread has been viewed 30 thousand times...

Listened back to the podcast.... No awkward chit-chat with Emma.. No mention of Twitter, JFK or the US mid terms... I think somebody might have informed him that the show is meant to be about what THE LISTENERS are interested in..

Here's the latest on Twitter..
"How bad will the mid-terms be for the Democrats later? Could they lose Senate as well as House or is that pre-emptive damage limitation?"

Dam, the one morning i did not get to listen (forgot to plug in my phone so not enough battery for the radio) but as mentioned above thats a great sign, especially all the US midterm elections are in the media. Must have been hard for him no to discuss it. No doubt (justifiably so on this occasion) he will be discussing the midterm results tomorrow morning.
Still great news..well done boards

The irish people pay his wages, not the yanks. Maybe he should pay attention to what's happening in his own country for a change.He is such a twit!

Just because the Irish people pay his wages doesn't mean Ireland is all he should be talking about. For anyone who has an interest in world politics in general, their eyes will be on the US midterm elections today... it's a pretty major political event, in fairness.

Well that, and the "Jim McDaid/will there be a general election" story here, of course...

As people know I'm not his biggest fan and he is really out on his own now and it shows. I really do believe that this will not work. He wants to be on radio 1 and he's not 2fm material. Colm Hayes would have been perfect startin at 9 with Hector following suit.

Much improved today, The US midterms were mentioned but thats news as is Stephen Fry and twitter today. Also forgot the first song but I kept hearing the line and smiling "The people get what the people want" Feel free to correct me there.
