It was unfair to throw you in like that, if that’s the case. I looked at your profile & I’m familiar with the issues. I would never rush anyone into that

If it’s an area in which you’re considered a strong & experienced contributor, yes, that’s a bit tight - with, as I say the exception of breaking news. I do observe however, that the ability to go “off the cuff” (which as a reporter for over 20 years I had to be good at) is very much on the wane
On the contrary - Radio gives time. Throwing someone in at the deep end is not conducive to a strong conversation. My own team works days in advance, save for coverage of breaking news. Overall, though Strong communication skills are essential in 2024/25 & they are not difficult to learn/sharpen.
Small bugbear…
if contributing to a radio/television discussion/interview try to avoid that awful “crutch” phrase “I suppose” - pause, breathe & express yourself more clearly. You don’t need to fill every second. Repeated “I suppose” makes you sound uncertain of your information & ill-prepared.
Lovely message from a friend this morning to say they’re enjoying this .. I consider myself something of a “collector” of #Christmas #music & it’s a bit of craic I started in the lockdown days. Hit “shuffle” & have fun! open.spotify.com/playlist/2mW...
I’m not on d’radio tomorrow - headed for News(UK
& Ireland) HQ in #London where I’ve been invited to raise a glass (or two) to mark 35 years (yeah, i know…) at Cork’s 96FM.. Paul Byrne is presenting the Opinion Line while I’m away ..
C'mere, you'll never convince me that once #ImACeleb is off the air, there isn't a big Just Eat delivery arrives onto the set.. sorry the "jungle"... #justsayin
