    I know it’s absolutely dire. She’s said amazing at least 5 times already.

    Today on the Lunchtime show....Muireann chats about something quirky her neighbor does with their bins...Jesus wept.
    I don't believe Muireann is a poor broadcaster as she wasn't like this in her previous shows. She is following a "script" in my opinion on how Today FM bosses want the lunchtime show to sound. Its the same drivel when people cover for her who also happen to be decent presenters on their own shows (apart from Paula Mc!)

    The same songs on over and over again is sloooowly driving me crazy
    Mumford and Sons - same song was on Paula M that Muireann just played a minute ago and that song was out in 2012? I think?

    I agree. It’s so inappropriate. Mind you Fergal Darcy is the worst offender for inappropriate language. It’s so unnecessary.

    Yeah, the daytime playlist seems to be ridiculously tight these days. Every time I tune in, without fail, I hear that godawful George Ezra song. There's no variety. Its the same 10-12 songs on repeat!

    At the weekends it seems far less restricted, and of course Ed Smith in the evenings.

    The only decent thing about Today FM these days!

    It's only a matter of time before they get around to axing the remaining shows that don't play George Ezra on rotation and have presenters high on Kool Aid.

    Why is Fergal Darcy the only person in Today FM that lost his voice after the Electric Picnic weekend. The others were there and they’re ok. He sounds absolutely ridiculous.

    I notice his show from yesterday isn't available on listen back

    I’m not surprised. It was a disgrace that he was allowed to work at all.

    Im sure Today FM thought it was great gas....Radio DJ goes to music festival, overdoes it, loses his voice and then turns up for completely unsuitable for work and barely audible. Sure he's savage amazing craic altogether....

    One and the same. Paul Power was part of the original Radio Ireland team.

    I should have seen that one coming, she's been a regular contributor in recent times. I'll reserve judgement until I hear her as a presenter but, as a contributor, I find her fairly annoying. Being a "journalist" with the Journal.ie, should tell you all you need to know about her really, i.e. left, liberal, PC, with a bit of feminism thrown in for good measure. But she might put those biases to one side when presenting....I won't hold my breath though.

    No. She's big into sport, plays Camogie and mentions that fact as much as she can. She's from the Journal too, which is somehow taken as a serious news outlet by radio stations

    Jaysus, even back then Phil Cawley was barely off the airwaves, the insufferable fecker.

    Not nearly as much as RTE. Hoe Duffy has had 35 days off this year and it's still August. He had 12 weeks off last year.

    U are obsessed with the man and a show you can’t stand. Even on a Today FM thread you have to bring Duffy into it.

    Ever watched the movie “Play Misty for Me”.

    Very true, it could all end tragically. Don't be giving Joe ideas though by comparing him to Clint Eastwood, in any context.

    That’s Jennifer Gannon who manages to make any choice a pc/sjw and always has a feminist rant to go along with her slot no matter how much of a stretch it is
