Hector [Ó hEochagáin] was on the Saturday Night Show discussing how he lost his [2Fm breakfast] radio show and [host] Brendan mentioned losing the Saturday Night Show.

How is that Hector, whose show was doing extremely well, on 2FM, and Brendan, whose show was often excellent this year and even beat the Late Late Show with a fraction of the budget, etc. are taken off air? It doesn’t make sense.  (Full disclosure, I work for RTÉ)

Anyone?

An extremely unnerving re-dub of Michael Jackson’s already fairly creepy video for ‘The Way You Make Me Feel’ by Leeds based animator and video artist David Firth.
