Nob Nation or Gift Grub? Which is better? I prefer Gift Grub but I haven’t heard it in ages because of a change in our radio listening habits in the morning due to an early rising baby and slightly frazzled parents.. Anyway, Nob Nation is available as a podcast you can subscribe to, which is [...]
I’m a sort-of fan of Killinaskully. Some episodes are great while others are yawn inducing boring affairs. Last year’s Halloween episode was great fun and the first episode of the new season opened with the depiction of a secret society called the Ancient Order of the Stoat. I almost fell out of my seat when [...]
From the opening title sequence of the wool, the yoyo and the cut out paper men… To the magic door leading to the zoo… And then there’s Michael Finnegan, I wonder where he went? Yes, if you grew up in the eighties in Ireland then you’ll know all about Bosco. Aren’t we lucky?
Reception to the new comedy on RTE has been less than favourable, or so it seems by what The Screaming Lady has to say as well as Blogorrah. Was it really that bad? I didn’t watch it so I was spared the experience but someone must have done so! Go on admit it, what did [...]

The Government hoped it would happen peacefully but I don’t think anyone really believed that. I’m glad the Unionists didn’t march through Cork, it [...]
Donal wants to see Cork Jazz band, The Roaring Forties on the Late Late Show. As he says himself, email Pat and tell him how great they are!
If you’re not Irish you probably don’t know about Bosco, but if you grew up in the 80′s he’ll be instantly familiar. The Bosco Files has been around for a while but now, here’s a petition to bring back Bosco! Maybe now they can answer why bosco has red cheeks, and will Frank be back [...]
Carole Coleman made headlines when she interviewed George Bush last year in the White House. Here was a reported who didn’t want to hear the same regurgated speel again and again. In this extract, she tells why, I wanted to slap him, and recalls the aftermath of her intereview with “the leader of the free [...]
