Clarity, humour, no nonsense. Love Brian’s style. Looking forward to the next one. Good chemistry between the 2 journalists.
Too self-referential

Capernosity

I am a glutton for US election coverage and was hoping to hear about the issues from an Irish perspective. Unfortunately I have found a lot of the content to be too self-referential about RTÉ and the hosts. A missed opportunity. Shame.
Good content, marred by very irritating style of delivery by Brian O Donovan

I find it hard to stick with an episode -although Jackie Fox is good, Brian O Donovan’s exaggerated delivery makes it sound like a game show rather than a politics podcast.
