Henry McKean

LimerickBishop

Is anyone getting sick of listening to Henry McKean on Newstalk? It sounded like he had a Sile Seoige Kylie Concert moment when reporting from London on The Right Hook yesterday, and he's at it again now on Shenanigans with Sile Seoige on Newstalk now. And he's very annoying, a bad younger version of Paddy O'Gorman. Am I the only one who thinks like this?

I actually really like Henry.

I think he's a breath of fresh air.
Síle Seoighe on the other hand..

I'm with the OP on this, can't listen to him anymore. The slightly bumbling, naive persona he's created has become tiresome.

He's just irritating now.

Mr.Crinklewood

That fat guy who made the "statement" in Derry last week should add him to the list of things that he does not like.

I think Henry's great! He has a good sense of humour. I used to love listening to Kid's Talk on Moncrief. Haven't heard it that much the last while, not sure if it's on Breakfast regularily now or what the story is.

****ing kids talk Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! :mad:

I think there might be a really good "left field" talent lurking but so far no one had really managed to bring it out.

He's the main reason I stopped listening to radio years ago.

Toto Wolfcastle

Love him. Often when I'm bored of whatever is on Newstalk he'll arrive in and bring a bit of fun to the station.

I've just seen a photo of him though and I'm disappointed that he looks nothing like I expected.

mikemac

I like Henry, he's done a bit of TV work too

yosser hughes

Bit sick of him now alright. His schtick was alright to begin with but he's very very lightweight.That kids talk thing I never liked.

Dont mind him but he was getting irritating the last few days over in london r the royal wedding. Although he did get one cracker of an interview from a yank who thought elton john was a royal

Newstalk think otherwise I guess. Or Ballamorey haven't coughed up the big bucks which Henry feels he deserves.

It seems 50/50 so far, fair enough. If that's what some people like, then fair enough. I just think he's too politically correct, especially his tv work, why can't he be completely radical instead of acting like an insider? I don't mind the fact that he's English, but his toff accent does wear on me now.

kraggy

Had a lot of time for him until he did that "documentary" on blood sports on TV3.

He was a disgrace.

mikom

Toothless, so pointless.

Hes a good guy imo . I`m not a regular listener to Newstalk but I find that any work he does is always at least someway entertaining . From any vox pops i`ve seen him do , he seems to treat everyone the same . I have not seen his tv work so I cannot comment on it .

He is a bit different, and I find him quite ok. I couldn't listen to him for long periods, but his short stints are quite ok. Harmless is the word I would use for him, like a lot of presenters on radio these days. Really think we need some new voices.

Rubik.

He's OK in small doses, but 'Under the covers with Henry McKean' is a complete waste of air time. His bits from the Moncrieff Show cobbled together with a few Kids Talk does not make a radio show.

Dan Dare

I think he is ok. Is he related to Newsnight's Liz McKean? They sound similar.

Temaz

His voice is as bad as that Bromwell guy on the RTE news. Horrible to listen
to.
