    Happened to be listening to this the other day, its hosted by Bobby Kerr, who's apparently one of the Dragons on Dragons Den and the owner of Insomnia Coffee...

    Dont know if he was having an off day but it was ALL OVER THE SHOP.

    He'd start reading texts and then stop halfway through like he lost the piece of paper they were written on, he kept forgetting his guests names (one had to prompt him).

    The best was when they had a group of start-up business people on, after a bit of a talk about themselves he asked them if they had any questions for him...

    Cue silence.

    "Dragons" are self promoting twats IMO.
    It's a shame, the newstalk show was the best business show on air.

    Bobby Kerr is a disaster, he really does sound like he wandered in, found an empty studio
    and decided that he's have to go for the laugh.

    i have to echo this.

    i used to listen religously to the show when mortel was presenting it on a saturday but since he jumped ship its gone down hill BIG time.

    ive literally never seen a show turn to trash so quickly.

    now that it up against the FAR superior sunday business show on today fm its not even a question as to which ill listen too.

    newstalk shot themselves in the foot putting their show up against their sister stations show.

    unless of course that was the plan in order to do away with it.

    Lol, to quote myself from the Newstalk Megathread:

    Just switched off The Business Show completely this morning as Kerr asked his guests whether they'd any questions for him?!

    The words which float through my head when listening to him include:

    Unprepared, dragons den, chaotic, dragons den, egotistical, dragons den, uninterested in other people's story, dragons den. You can see the trend.

    He is not the right person for that job, and I'll be listening to Today FM for the coming weeks on a Sunday morning.
