RTE Radio 1: The Ryan Tubridy Show

Well there's this:

Ryan Tubridy is an Irish television and radio presenter, journalist, and author. While he has gained recognition and popularity in the media industry, there have been some criticisms and negative aspects associated with him.

One criticism often raised is that Tubridy is perceived as overly self-centered and attention-seeking, with a tendency to make conversations about himself rather than focusing on his guests. This behavior has been noted in both his television and radio interviews, leading to accusations of narcissism and a lack of genuine engagement with the people he interacts with.

Another negative aspect that has been pointed out is Tubridy's occasional insensitivity or lack of empathy in certain interviews or discussions. Critics argue that he sometimes fails to show appropriate sensitivity when dealing with sensitive or emotional topics, which can come across as dismissive or disrespectful.

Additionally, there have been controversies surrounding Tubridy's significant salary as a presenter, with some questioning the value he brings compared to his high earnings. This has led to debates about the fairness of public funding and whether it is justified to pay such high salaries to media personalities.

It's important to note that these negative aspects do not define Tubridy entirely, and he also has supporters and fans who appreciate his style and contributions to the media industry. As with any public figure, opinions and criticisms vary, and it's essential to consider a balanced perspective.

I presume you wouldn't be offering to lose your musculature so as not to embarrass him.

He's leaving the LLS? News to me.

A UL infomercial for the hour today. I wonder will 'Rhine' revisit some of their greatest financial transactions of the past few years?

"University of Limerick (UL) bosses have “no regrets” in relation to the €8.3 million purchase of a city-centre location, which was completed in 2019 without a formal valuation, TDs have been told.

The Public Accounts Committee heard that the site, which was an old Dunnes Stores building, was valued at €3.5 million in 2017."

"THE UNIVERSITY of Limerick has come under fire for having two official homes for its president and spending money to maintain them while one is not lived in."

Ah the Irish third level sector, where the Presidents of some of these institutions think they're actually a Head of State.

I see he said the LLS tonight will celebrate home grown talent.

Basically saying that there will be no international or top quality stars at his leaving do. But it's OK Ryan, regular LLS viewers are used to not seeing international stars any more, as the guest list has been full of irish z-listers for years now.

Ffs, a week off to sort through all the stuff he's scabbard from the guests,

The richer they are the meaner they are

Thanks for reading Bono!
