    Listening to MI yesterday in the car could not believe the amount of nasal snorting that the male presenter was doing while he was listening to the answers from his interviewee.

    I think the presenter is Cathal MacCoille.

    Can someone on the production team not tell him to keep his hooter more than an inch from the mic?

    What sort of snorting? Like the headcold variety?

    Not usually a problem with Cathal MacCoille, to my recollection.

    Happens ALL the time with him. Usually though the producer is able to do something about it. Noticed it yesterday but not as bad as other nasal whines I have heard from him...

    I remember a few years back when he actually had to apologise for the nose whistling one morning after a load of complaints from listeners.

    He obviously didn't mean it because he was doing the exact same thing the very next day. :rolleyes:


    Cathal, lean away from the microphone!

    Yeah I've always been aware of a certain amount of breathing noises.. Seems that nobody has the balls to bring it to his attention..

    And while they're out buying nasal drops for Cathal, it wouldn't kill the barstewards in Montrose to buy a clock that works along with a few copies of the Ladybird book of "How to tell the time" - and make it required reading for MI presenters.

    The amount of occasions they get the time wrong on that show...even this morning I nearly flipped over the table when yer wan says "and here on MI, it's ten minutes to nine"....luckily enough in my country it was still ten to eight.

    Glad it wasn't just me who gets annoyed by this sort of thing.

    Once you hear it, you can't stop listening for it, and then each time you hear it you really cringe.

    I am sure that the production staff must listen to the broadcast, all it would take is for one of them to say "sit back from the mic a bit cos your breathing down your big nose is deafening".
