Work on website

The show is OK. The website/podcast is useless. Impossible to find and extract segments of imterest later (e.g. Olivia O’Leary)

Good show, poor podcast

Could be much better at updating/uploading podcasts. Very sketchy at times. Kieran Cuddihy & Matt Cooper’s teams are far better at this. Sometimes miss Mary Wilson’s forensic questioning and attention to detail: has become a little fluffy. Bring back the radio column by Olivia O’Leary or Joseph O’Connor or similar. Not the best Drivetime show. Light touch.

IÓR ,

Excellent presenters. Poor podcast.

Ads every 5 minutes is insanity and too hard to listen to. This show is publicly funded yet has 20 to 100 times more ads than podcasts of comparable quality or significance eg Echo Chambers podcast.
