The Dave Fanning Show
An absolute must listen to any weekend
As current now as ever
Dave is a legend.
Dave still sounds as fresh and as genuinely interested in the discussions, as was the case when I first listened to him as a teenager in the early 90’s. Having lived overseas since that time, Gay Byrne (RIP), is the only other Irish broadcaster that I have tried to listen to as often as possible whilst being away.
My only criticism, during the movie reviews with the reviewer Paul Whittington, Paul is often very difficult to hear, and that segment appears to be transmitted at a lower volume versus others, which is mildly annoying when listening to a number of podcasts in succession. Small criticism though! Keep going Dave!
