How delightful to have Sinead Mooney present Playback again. Her selections and approach and wry humour make for great listening. Please keep her full time, she gets it! Well done to Sinead and the Playback Crew. Great to see it back to its high standards after a dip last year. Back in a bit... 😊
Playback - Love it

I really look forward to each episode, and Sinead makes me giggle, laugh, snort and agree generally with her take on things! She just portrays such a natural view on things, with that distinctive rural, sophisticated tone , which is just perfect. Love this. Thanks, Sinead.
Great show - sound level is a bit off

Fantastic show: brilliant mix of light and serious, and everything brought together by a great presenter. One minor fault would be the sound level: the presenter and the clips that are used are quite different, and I spend most of my time physically adjusting it.
I love this podcast

I love this podcast and look forward to it every week. It’s a perfect balance of funny, interesting, sad and important clips from RTÉ radio all crammed into less than an hour and the presenter Sinead Mooney is such a pro.
