I would love that.

Can’t say enough good things about ed and the show. I regularly listen back during my commute absolutely unmissable show. Credit to today fm but more importantly to ed himself.

I agree. Ed is an untapped talent. What on earth are they thinking of making him Fergal Darcys sidekick? I do feel embarrassed for the guy having to put up with Darcys pontifications about life in general-it’s all about him. Why is Ed playing second fiddle to the likes of him? He is so much better than him.

I like Fergal D'Arcy to be honest, but I'd be a bigger fan of Ed and as long as he has a weekly job and he's not just stuck to his show on a Sunday, I'm ok with that.

A lot of people like Ed don't have the same privilege.

He's not his 'sidekick'. He's the show producer.

Heard some of eds songs of praise show earlier for the first time,Sunday evening is a really bad time for me to try listen to the radio,anyway what a great show,if only a show like this could be on in the afternoon on weekdays

I love Ed's songs of praise - his persona and the songs he picks, if I miss it, I usually have a look back at his instagram account to see the playlist, some great choices...but the heads of TodayFM wouldn't allow that music to play for 2 hours in the afternoon, not enough of "Todays" music! Pity he is only on for 2 hours a week

johnire

That’s my point- he’s treated like a sidekick whereas he deserves so much better. He’s playing second fiddle to Darcy when it most definitely should be the other way around.

Caught word about Declan Pearce filling in for “Ferg” yesterday. Excellent show and really enjoyed it. First time in a long time I didn’t have to switch to listening to Tracy Clifford and Afric O Connell blabbing about their fellas and Netflix

I often listen to Tracy 1-4. But most of the time I listen to Barry Dunne from 12-4

She'll be gone in six months. Shouldn't have drunk last night.

I think shes a smoker as well, it does seem bad form to be sounding like that when you work on the radio.

An immature blunder by Muireann obviously over doing it on the night, funny how D+D who attended managed to keep it together.

Reminds me of the carry on of the "celeb" she replaced...

She was allegedly grabbing mickeys?

What has that got to do with it?

Ursus Horribilis

I assume he means that a radio presenter should try to keep his/her voice in good condition. Marian Finucane coughs and wheezes her way though her weekend shows.

Her voice sounds like she smoked about 20 fags last night. Smoking and drinking heavily for someone who will be appearing on radio the next day is not a smart move.

From what I recall of Porters (thankfully) short stint he regularly came in dying from the night before.

Dave doesn't drink at all. Nearly sure Dermot has been off it for a year? Not sure if he has kept it up

Ye lads taking the piss or what? I'm no fan of Muireann but how many of ye have gone into work the next day hungover?

Its all relative to your job, shes broadcasting to the nation sounding dreadful.

I text her a while ago and told her what I thought of her unprofessional behaviour. Hopefully shell think twice next time

Wouldn't be a big fan of Muireann to be honest. I remember everyone on here saying she was great when she took that slot, but i never really enjoyed her. Some of her stuff us funny, but she brings the 'click bait' thing ("find out after the break.." etc.) to a whole new level.

I know it's commonplace for teaser style stuff on the Radio, but she does it constantly. Wrecks my head.

Well aren't you great. Where do you work in case I fancy complaining about you someday?

Not on national radio anyway. Plus I don't ever drink on a work night
