Mairead back with the microphone in hand for to camera pieces. Faux auditioning for gigs.

Listening to the sports on Matts show with Miguel Delaney, got me thinking, what ever happened to Paul Kimmage and Ewan McKenna on previous Monday reincarnations?

I only realised that Mark Lawrence is no longer on talking football with Tony Casscarino - Miguel is there instead. And I found out - Mark has been "upgraded" to OTB on Newstalk. I miss Mark on TLW

For the love of God, why did they bring Delaney in?? I'll not be listening to that section again.

Cryptic insults make no sense. Keep your b1tching to logical sentences please

IG content for Mairead's show and the station seems to now revolve around her walking around the station office interviewing other presenters on the topic of discussion from her show.
Similar to what she was doing on The Panel.

It's essentially a "I might be doing radio but don't forget I can do this too".

It's also basically the same as the crap that Muireann was trying to do, they just have someone else doing it.

And I bet they are paying a lot more money for Mairead than they did for Muireann - but same type of "content creator" :rolleyes:

Lawro was always on with Phil Egan on Premier League Live between 2 & 3pm on Saturdays too as well's The Last Word on Sport between 6 + 7pm on Fridays with Big Cas.

Missed big time!

Didn't know he was on NTs OTB at all; maybe I just haven't heard him; it's John Giles on a Thursday with Kenny Cunningham and others on Football Show with Killer (Kevin Kilbane).

Think it was last Friday when I heard him on OTB

So the 12pm to 2pm show is for Mairead to reminisce with her old work buddy's about jobs that are no longer happening and the LOLS they had and continue to have with their WhatsApp groups - herself & Tommy Bowe recalling all the lovely holidays they did for No Frontiers on RTE, when oh when will she have Ray or Jenny on to talk about the good old days on TodayFM and how she learned the tricks of the trade from Ray (press wrong buttons, say the wrong artist which she did today already) :rolleyes:

The Freebie season has started early.
I tell you what I've never seen lads get freebies like Dermot & Dave, the mentioning and tagging them then on their social media.

I'm still not convinced they adhere to the #ad principles of posts.

Am I the only one that finds Dermot & Dave not the least bit funny?

How long are they on Today FM now? 4 or 5 years?

They are fine,something different to the rest of the shows with their content creators,it doesn't matter who presents those shows because they follow the same template,pure shoite

No. I cant stand them either.

And I used to like Dermot when he was on that TV show on RTE 2.

I just tuned into Mairead Farrell's show and Dustin the Turkey was doing a TV slot.

Very, very funny. He ripped the absolute p1ss out of RTE.

Ryan Tubridy saying he was offered 2 gigs in England. Dustin said its true, the 2 shows were Embarrassing Bodies and the Un-dateables.

And embarrassed Mairead about Andrew Maxwell, which I always had suspicions about.

Until she gets made permanent and then everyone in this thread will hate her, just like very other presenter has gone in the last few years.

In my new (and entirely self appointed) role as “content reviewer and critic” - well, we have content creators - I have begun a complete scrutinisation (another word I may have invented) by listening to the Mairead Ronan.

My initial impressions are that is absolutely dire, bottom-of-the-barrel-and-keep-scraping stuff. I will listen to a few more broadcasts before finalising my objective and insightful review, but first pass, it ain’t looking good

With great humility and no element of self aggrandisement, I have completed - but only with the aid of prescription painkillers - a review of Mairead Ronan's programme.

It really is lowest common denominator stuff. The "content" is mindnumbingly poor, with "excitement" reaching octave levels that only dogs can hear. And my dogs don't want to hear!

And neither do I. It's gone from my playlist. Forever

Bring back Muireann - please
