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

The show is excellent, but I find the ads repetitive and excessive. The presenters are incredible, though. They handle serious and light-hearted equally well and are a pleasure to listen to.
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.
Poor journalism

Eamon in Kilkenny

How does Phillip Boucher Hayes get license to present shows. Self-important, weighty sighs, badly informed. Lots of Group Think amongst RTE, but pure poor journalism on what should be a flagship program
