    What's Muireann doing on at this hour? Disaster!

    What is she doing on at ANY hour? She has the charm and charisma of a door knocker!

    Christ Aoife Barry must have friends in high places in Today FM, they seem to wheel her out for any 'youth' topic.

    I hope Mikey was listening to Songs in the Key of Life. Laura Whitmore was the guest!

    How likely do you think it is that Today FM will give Laura a show of her own?

    Music segment yesterday on The Last Word where yer man tore into Picture This was funny. I can't stand Picture This, but feck it, it's all subjective and many people do. Still funny though.
    Dermot was on about his experience at a gig in Germany. Great to get it highlighted at last at how horrible Irish gigs are turning out to be with drunkards and eejits chatting.

    What's going on with the newsreader on the breakfast show?
    (Kim Buckley)
    She's morphing into a yank, going on about "wadder charges", "badderies" etc.
    It's really noticeable and really annoying!

    Hate when people point out things like this. I'll never not notice it now!

    What makes you think that she actually wants to leave London and do a daily show Today FM?

    Are you her agent?

    Maybe she'll move to America instead of back to Ireland?

    No, I'm not her agent by the way. I just think a show on Today FM, even if it was broadcast from the UK/US, would be a coup for the station. Also she said in a 2016 Irish Independent interview that she wasn't sure if she would stay in England for the rest of her life.

    When she stops getting gigs in the UK and the tabloids stop talking about her she'd probably move back and do it.

    Ed Smith is taking over Louise Duffy’s spot while on maternity leave - well that’s a vast improvement

    I reckon this could be the opportunity of a former TX presenter to cover "Songs of Praise". Cathal Funge anyone?

    I feel like I've just been kicked in the teeth there!

    Yet more dumbing down of a once good station.

    How about giving Louise Duffy the lunchtime show when she comes back, and keeping Ed on the 7-9pm slot permanently?
