Ray D'arcy on RTE Radio 1 **Mod Warning post 1, 1263, 1610**

sligojoek

I saw her a few years ago in the Hawkswell in Sligo. Fantastic performer and a great voice.

I think Ray was playing devil's advocate with Ragan today. He usually goes on about the same type of stuff himself. He's taken to asking women , "Have you ever been subject to sexual harassment in your job?". He asked it to a woman pilot the other day and she said "No.". Dead air for a couple of seconds. Sorry I can't provide links. I'm on the phone.

He had no end of time for that wan from Galway blathering on about all sorts of nonsense, and gave Regan enough time to lecture him and all men about their collective past wrongs, but had not time for Eddi Reader. She's a right bit of craic and a great singer, she should have been priority.

With regard to your comment that the interview with Lisa McInerney was longer than the other items on the show - the show usually has an item in the first hour, that is longer than later items.

On Wednesday 15th November 2017, Phil Coulter was a guest on the show, and the item was 30 minutes in length.

Talkback on BBC Radio Ulster is a daily 90 minute long show and usually has a main item that last around 40 minutes or so, and then there might be one or two other items later in the show. It is usual for both shows to have a main item each day.

Here is the main item of discussion of the Talkback Show on Friday 12th January, which is 38 minutes in length, which discussed John O'Dowd's comments on the BBC show The View on Thursday 11th January.

The interview with Lisa McInerney, on the Ray D'Arcy Show on Friday 12th January 2018, was 33 minutes in length.

https://rte.ie/r.html?rii=b9_21300217_19148_12-01-2018_

The interview with Jarlath Regan, was 7 minutes and 36 seconds in length.

https://rte.ie/r.html?rii=b9_21300218_19148_12-01-2018_

The item on the RTE player that includes Eddi Reader's appearance on the show - before and after the Jarlath Regan interview - is just under seven minutes long, I think 10 seconds short of seven minutes.

On the link below, the item with Eddi Reader starts at 1 minute and 45 seconds and ends at 8 minutes and 36 seconds.

https://rte.ie/r.html?rii=b9_21300219_19148_12-01-2018_

There was a similar length of time given to the items with Jarlath Regan, and Eddi Reader. I think the Jarlath Regan item was about 40 seconds longer.

You have got to give it to him though, he is thorough (if a total pedant)! Amazing that somebody as mundane as D'Arcy inspires such loyalty! Did he save your life once Horseburger or does he have something else on you?:P

Phil Coulter is a national treasure. How can you compare him to a complete nobody. Giving a half hour to Phil Coulter is justified, giving half an hour to a complete nobody when you have Edie Reader in studio is not justified. It just does not make sense.

I rarely listen in, but keep up to date with this thread. Fair play for giving the timings horseburger. Ok, links provided to back things up, fair enough. I didn't click on them.

But Ray couldn't time interviews to accommodate Nuacht at 3.30 and was late for the 4 o'clock bulletin there recently (one day I did listen in)

He's not new to this thing, right? I mean he's an experienced broadcaster

sligojoek

That's nothing new. He was 8 minutes over for Nuacht one day

The links are radio shows and tv news items, which you don't have to read. All you have to do is listen to them. It is not confusing at all.

I included the links to compare the scheduling of the two programmes, Talkback on BBC Radio Ulster and The Ray D'Arcy show, to indicate that each programme features a main item on each show, that is longer than other items on each day's shows.

I mentioned that in response to a poster moaning about the Lisa McInerney interview being longer than the interview with Eddi Reader.

I didn't compare him to anyone.

I was talking about the way the show is scheduled, where it usually has a main feature interview, that is longer than other items on the show.

I then made the point, that on Talkback on BBC Radio Ulster, the programme makers do something similar, in a show that is also 90 minutes in length, a daily feature interview in the first hour of the show that lasts around 40 minutes.

Then I got a complaint from forum user sweetmaggie - who seems to think that nobody has time to read radio and TV interviews, despite the fact that you don't have to read an interview that was broadcast on radio, or an interview that was broadcast on TV - for including links to the BBC Radio Ulster show, despite the fact that I included the links to demonstrate the point I was making, about the general daily running order and schedule, for both shows.

In a discussion in a Radio Forum, it is relevant and useful, to compare two different radio shows, and the running order of those two different shows - and how each show will regularly have a main feature interview, that is longer than other items on the show, on particular days - as a response to a post, where someone is moaning about the presenter of one of those shows.

Fair dues to you burger. Someone has to put in a spake for Ray. He's not the worst, and even good at times. But he sure knows how to get peoples backs up as well.

I wasn't the one that gave any consideration to it, in the first place.

With reference to your calling Lisa McInerney a "complete nobody", what do you define a "complete nobody" to be?

You stated - despite the fact that I wasn't comparing Phil Coulter to Lisa McInerney - the following:

"Phil Coulter is a national treasure. How can you compare him to a complete nobody. Giving a half hour to Phil Coulter is justified, giving half an hour to a complete nobody when you have Edie Reader in studio is not justified. It just does not make sense."

I was listening as I finished work. The woman who was adopted by Americans and only told about it when she was 15. She found out about it herself by intercepting post for her parents.

Got home and she was still talking, right up to just before four o'clock. Then, then he started a new conversation with Conor Pope and of course ran over and was late for the nuacht. could he not have run his conversation with the woman another minute or two instead of botching the news link up. The four o'clock news has to be at four o'clock. The clue is in the name.

I guess you'd much prefer if I posted comments like yours, where you question the celebrity limelight status of guests on the show?

Or your constant smart assed comments about guests on the show.

Again, you have proven your ignorance, Mr Bendar. The links I included were audio and TV interviews, but then you said nobody reads them.

Do you read the Ray D'Arcy radio show? Do you read videos?

How do you know nobody listens to or watches the items I included in my posts?

Perhaps you'd like to answer the question as to what one might define as a "complete nobody", since you posted recently, about an interview by Ray D'Arcy with Shane Filan, where you questioned Shane Filan's celebrity status by saying he was "hardly in the full limelight", whatever that's supposed to mean.

You made this comment to suggest that Ray D'Arcy shouldn't have introduced Shane Filan in the particular way that he did.

If I remember correctly the exchange on that subject drew adverse moderator response so forgive me if I don’t wish to re open it.

I don’t comment on anything but the way the programme is presented and merely suggested the Mr Darcy was a tad over the top with a slightly hysterical introduction of Mr Filan more appropriate for a ten year old child introducing a world superstar.

Nothing more than that.

Itssoeasy

I've no doubt if ray decides to do something in regards to the death of Dolores O Riordan ray will probably make an utter balls of it.

So what that it got a response from a moderator. That is irrelevant.

It is an example of a stupid comment that you made.

You criticized the presenter's introduction of a guest and then you questioned Shane Filan's limelight status, as if having some particular level of celebrity status, was a requirement, in terms of being a guest on the show.

If Ray D'Arcy had introduced Shane Filan in another way, you would have still found fault in him. You would have still found something, about which, to make a smart assed remark.

You constantly moan about the way the show is presented.
