Enjoy the show but using Brendan’s mortuary card for promoting it is a little weird
Very poor from Brendan
Poor Brendan lives in fear of being sued between 11am and 12pm every Sunday, as he consistently cuts his guests short the minute they dare to give an opinion. Pathetic! He constantly interrupts, gives his own opinion too much and raises his voice to continue talking over guests in order to push his own agenda. I have written into the show twice about this shouting over guests as apart from lack of impartiality, it’s downright rude, but of course no acknowledgement or change of style. He might be encouraged to learn the art of listening, or better still, listen back to some of Marian’s shows and take some lessons that way. Meanwhile however and happily, over on Newstalk there is an excellent Sunday panel at the same time each week, which is conducted with civility and respect, so tune in all!
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
