Cocaine & alcohol

good to hear the young guy, Conor, speak about cocaine, and the reality of its dark side.

a hugely important conversation on sep 1st regarding alcohol. I had a ferocious alcohol abuse problem, and I still drink alcohol, it’s very moderate now.

I retired a few years ago and I now listen to lot of radio —RTE radio 1, Newstalk & Today FM.
Pat Kenny is the reason I listen to Newstalk —He is head & shoulders ahead of all other radio presenters in Ireland —His diction, his grammar is excellent (as it should be ) —-the reporters on Newstalk and RTÉ are so poor in terms of grammar —I am surprised that they don’t learn from the best
If Pat Kenny left Newstalk I would probably not bother to listen to Newstalk regularly I.e on a daily basis
Ivan Yeates is very entertaining to listen to as is Sean Moncrief

cant think of one !! ,

Very informative show

Great research , delivery & information .
Love the Show . Pat is so well informed & so professional yet courteous always .
