Well we tried to be as impartial as possible. Whether we succeeded or not is up to ye to decide.
Twill be up as a podcast whenever I get a chance to edit it. Hopefully this weekend.

I was referring to the audience, not the content. Students know things weren't so bad this year.

That's shocking. they could hardly have enjoyed the loud music and people pestering them. that's genuinely sickening. Who is in charge of booking this? the ents guy who got a ginger strip dyed onto his head? going to have serious words with him and who ever allowed those animals to be 'rented' out like this. blood disgrace.

The sort of idiot who brings live sheep into a bar, especially a crowded campus bar during Rag week, is the sort of person who should either wise up (and quickly) or should never breed - the world doesn't need that sort of stupidity carried into another generation. It's as dumb as those "hilarious" plonkers in Dublin who decided to bring a penguin with them on a night out.

Just on these notes lads I was there for a short while that night. The sheep were on their own in a very quiet corner of the smoking area (the place was dead anyway) being supervised by a sober qualified adult person. Now I didn't ask who he was but he seemed to definitely have his head about him and seemed to be in control if any situation arose

The sheep were not subject to any loud music at any point and actually looked rather at ease. There were a few girls crowded around the animals (the cuteness factor IMO) under the watchful eye of the supervisor. The animals seemed to enjoy this as much as the girls.

In short, no animals were harmed, or put in harms way, on that night.

Back to the topic in question;

I was listening to Derek Daly and Joe Nash there and it seems to me that while Derek was owed an apology it was not necessarily from Joe personally.

It sounded to me like Joe was miss-informed by the producers that were looking to talk to Derek on the Monday. Joe was only saying what he's being told to, he could however have been a bit more liberal on the matter.

Derek should, however have realised this and stated at the end of his interview that he would be looking for a formal written apology from Joe's production team (including Joe himself) Mr Daly should not have looked for an apology just from Joe.

For the record (so nobody thinks I'm being a fanboy) neither Joe nor Derek are high on my personal list of favourite people.

Ah, my bad. Yeah, think you're right about that. He made the point today that regardless of whether he'd given the interview or not, Live95Fm would have still got texts slamming the SU and RAG week. (In no way am I justifying him hanging up with this point, I just think it's a valid statement.)

No editing of content, just editing out songs to avoid any possible copyright infringement.

the other recordings don't do that

Not sure if you're referring to the one I did but I cut out the song at the end pretty much at the start.

i got recordings from other shows and they included the music. it would take me about 10 mins to trim the music out of a 1 hour long recording using audacity, i presume you're using a mac so should be just so quick. why you need a 3 day turnover on this?

I don't have to trim out the songs. I want to, as we're a news show and not a music show. The raw recordings include music, so I'm assuming these are what you got.

I'm using audacity as well, not a mac.

I don't need a 3 day turnover period. I said that so as to cover myself. All going well it should be up tomorrow night. The reason that it's not up now is because I didn't have time to get the recording before the people who have access to them went home, and the reason it won't be up until tomorrow night is that I have college work which has to take priority over extra-curricular stuff.

Hope that clears it up.

Ah, you can typically tell when Anne Sheridan hasn't written the piece because they usually leave out the necessary apostrophe in "Students'" when someone else writes it.

(I'm often torn between loving the excitement that local newspapers give the otherwise uneventful survival of a tree in a town park (er, for example) and disliking the way that lots of local newspapers brutally treat the lingua franca. As long as I'm amused, I guess... there's a certain joy in regularly reading the Coventry Evening Telegraph and the Liverpool Daily Post...)

Daly let his huge ego get the better of him here

Made a fool of himself too in the process of letting down the entire student body

I like Derek Daly. He's nice. And he probably did have a tough week last week. Give him a break. He's nice.

Not really. He went on ClareFM and was fantastic. No complaints at all. It just feels as though he lost his cool on 95fm. Did you hear all the complaints they were reading out after? I mean, they can't make those up

derek dropped the ball, that we can all agree.
