I don't think I could put it any better than that!

On a busy show this week, showcasing The Lost Voice, we have Mary Black. I suppose Christmas is coming and all that.

"Singing sensation Mary Black will join Ryan ahead of her Lifetime Achievement Award at the RTÉ Radio 1 Folk Awards later this month. She will talk about her incredible life and career in music and will treat us to some of her favourite songs to perform."

Artistic Gymnastics? That's a new one on me-well done to the lad. Hopefully there is no misfortune in his life for Hobbidy to mine.

"Rhys McClenaghan will chat about being the first Irish person ever to win Gold at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, why Katie Taylor is his inspiration and what it felt like to achieve a dream he has had since jumping off his first trampoline at age six."

A man with a history of taking on impossible jobs (managing Notts Forest AND Ireland, after his successes at Leicester and Celtic) will be interviewed by a man who is impossibly bad at his own job.

"When he swapped GAA for soccer, Martin O'Neill couldn’t have imagined the road it would take him on, European Cups with the legendary Brian Clough, cup final wins in Wembley and a managerial career that saw him mastermind some of Ireland’s biggest wins in the past decade. Martin will discuss all, including how he feels about his time as Ireland manager now that the dust has settled."

Youtube guy-I have heard of him but I don't think Auntie Bridie and Uncle Ned will have a clue.

"Offaly native and YouTube superstar Jacksepticeye, otherwise known as Sean McLoughlin, will be in the studio on Friday night to mark 10 years in the business."

"RORIESH SHTORIESH!" as Francis (Buff Egan) once put it, is on to showcase his own Christmas offering (presumably, although it isn't mentioned. An inoffensive enough online content creator-I was at a loss to understand Buffoon's ranting about him when he appeared on Radio Kerry some time ago.

"From struggling in school to writing four books and sharing stories with over 1 million online followers, comedian, and author Rory O'Connor, also known as Rory's Stories, will chat all things comedy and the importance of perseverance."

Well done Cara!

"Ryan will also speak with 12-year-old Cara Darmody from Tipperary who sat her Junior Cert Maths exam last June, to raise funds for therapy services for children with special needs. As she awaits her results, she will talk about what inspired her to take on this challenge and her plan to tackle the Leaving Cert next year!"

Music (aside from Mary and her medley) will be by (checks notes) Ailbhe Reddy.
