Enjoy the show but using Brendan’s mortuary card for promoting it is a little weird
Love this show
Brendan is a breath of fresh air. Great at listening , great questions, a very empathetic, sound & a bit of craic. When I miss the show I download the episodes. Always has something interesting .Keep up the great work
Quality lacking/libel obsessed
Brendan has proven to be an unworthy successor to the late great Marian Finucane. He constantly limits, edits, censors, qualifies, and negates what his guests and panellists are saying. The ghost of the Panti interview looms large in his head. Pity. I’ve switched to Anton on Newstalk: so much more refreshing.
