Ryan Tubridy radio show thread

One thing I’ve noticed about Tubridy

For such a central RTÉ personality he seems quite unpopular with his audience

Think to yourself -when’s the last time (if ever) you have heard someone say I love Ryan Tubridy radio show or for that matter his tv activities???

To me it seems some ppl coldly tolerate him but that’s the height of it. Disdain or indifference is the main response to him.

And as well Lot of ppl cannot stand him and actively avoid his broadcasts.

I mean, almost all the central RTÉ personalities over the years had genuine warmth from their audiences. I mean the likes of gay Byrne mike Murphy Gerry Ryan Pat Kenny.

Tubridy doesn’t have anything like the same rapport with the audience.

Unless I’m missing something? I’m trying to be unbiased as possible.

I find it hard to relate to him. I don’t think I’m stupid but when I’m listening to him, I feel like I don’t want to read that book he is oohing about, I don’t want to go to that place he is oohing about, etc.

I can’t stand Tubridy and avoid his shows at all costs.
He acts as if he’s programmed like a wee robot.

Ian Dempsey said tubridy would be "found out" after he got the LLS gig. Indeed he was found out almost immediately.... But yet here we are 10years later still being found out on a daily basis

Didn’t realise that Ian Dempsey said that but it rings true.

Dempsey is far more accomplished as a broadcaster than him as well.

Could be wrong but I think he's more popular with the women?

Well he tries his best. The majority of his guests are women with women related issues.

The other morning: "Margaret Heffernan, the matriarch of Dunnes stores. Matriarch, now there's a great word."

Imagine saying "Patriarch is a great word" and seeing twitter explode.

Heard this morning where he was interviewing the actress from the Line Of Duty show. Left with that same feeling that I'm left with after many of his interviews - i.e. was it not possible to carry out this interview with a bit of humility, without licking the dirt off their boots, without nauseatingly agree with the guest and plamásing them.

Anybody that Ryan does an interview with gets a soft ride. You know except Peter Casey who will know when Ryan is angry and he will let him know!!!:rolleyes::rolleyes:

In fairness they all do that. Norton is particularly prone to it. He guffawks at any old self important actor or actress. It's part of his job.

Library fm in full effect again this morning

Talking rubbish about Harry Potter then on to a boring anecdote about how he missed one of John boynes books when it was published but he’s reading it now and loving it.

Stealing a living.

Beechwoodspark

His target audience seems to be

Well off, absolutely obsessive readers of novels, with plenty of time on their hands,

who really dislike modern technology and modern life in general

Welsh Megaman

Ryan has made no secret of his hatred for the ‘Fifty Shades’ books.


This should be good

He was intrigued at a book he has no interest in. Peculiar.
Points this morning also for, Obama, Trump, acting like a child.

I only caught a couple of minutes of his interview with E.L. James.

Well? Did he have the balls to say how much he thought her book was absolute tripe?

Or did he back out?

First bonkers of the day at 9.06

there was also a "Bizarro" in the middle of his pseudo intellectual sermon about how he cant get into marvel films and is struggling with game of thrones

.

Beechwoodspark

He must spend every waking hour outside the studio reading books and watching tv/movies

Or else he’s bluffing I suppose.

Ash.J.Williams

Marvel should listen to tubs and break endgame into a 4 part Netflix mini series instead of the biggest movie of all time

Ryan's not a GAA fan. There must be a death involved in this story.

You could tell he was reading the notes for the rest of the show during that

sligojoek

Never took Ryan for a Ritchie Blackmore Rainbow fan

Edit. He's not

Not only did not read it when it was published, he didn't bother reading it when intewrviewing John Boyne about it.

I thought the whole defence of presenter's salaries relative to their broadcasts, is how much time they have to spend researching content and doing other prep.

John Boyne is (and no offence to the man) no Samuel Beckett. His books are easy to read, the kind of books that people read at the beach. I thought it came off as really unprofessional, not to mention discourteous, that Tubridy hadn't bothered to read a book that was being discussed in an interview.

I'm sure Tubridy isn't the only one who doesn't bother reading his guests' books, but it does seem a little unbothered. If even the interviewer can't be arsed reading the book, why should the rest of us bother listening to his interview?

I thought Boyne has a bit of an attitude on him in that interview...bit aggressive
and preachy for my taste.

Fond of smelling himself was the outcome I got in fairness.
