Dermot & Dave

When was the last time you sat down and watched an episode of a soap? Caught up with the gang in the Queen Vic, or popped by Coronation Street? We’ve already seen the end of Neighbours, and with soaps coming up against massive TV shows and reality hits, the question is…is this the end of the soap? Media sociologist and TU Dublin lecturer Eddie Brennan joined Dermot and Dave to chat about what could happen to the TV legends, and if they can be saved.

They're deadly, they're dangerous and there's been countless films made about them but...they're not the most likely to bite you, if you're in New York City. In Dave's World, we heard about the fascinating far more common cause of bites to humans. And why we've been moaning about bad service since time began!

It’s been a rollercoaster for Liz Truss. She gets the job, meets the Queen, the Queen dies and then when the country gets back to work after mourning…she somehow manages to crash their economy, lose her Chancellor, her Home Secretary and possibly bring down the entire Tory party. Not bad in the space of a few short weeks. But is she going to take the unfortunate title of the Prime Minister who lasted the least amount of time in power? Possibly! In Seán Defoe’s podcast ‘Let Me Explain’, he’s had a look at some historical examples and he joined Dermot and Dave to run through. Maybe this’ll make Liz Truss feel better? We doubt it.

With acoustic tours, college work and now a fourth children’s book, we think Niall Breslin might be the busiest man in Ireland. To celebrate the release of his fourth children’s book ‘The Sleep Scan’, The Blizzards front man popped in for a chat with Dermot and Dave.

'Do I round up or round down?' shouldn't be the first thought you have when you're being robbed at an ATM. But for comedian Julie Jay, she found herself in a rather tricky situation that couldn't have had a more unexpecting end. She joined Dermot and Dave for 'What's The Story?'.

Tracey Corbett Lynch has encountered a level of grief that for many of us might seem unimaginable. While we may all be familiar with the tragic circumstances around the death of her sister in law, and then the murder of her brother, Tracey has also struggled with the loss of a twin, her own mother and several other close family members. Now, she has taken what she has sadly had to learn, and written a book 'Loss and What It Taught Me About Living'.
