120 minutes of uninterrupted ‘chin wag’.

A warm, enveloping thank you to, clockwise from top left: Irvin Muchnik, Olga Cronin, Vanessa Foran, ‘Preposterous‘, Neil Curran and Johnny Keenan, our panel on last night’s Broadsheet on the Telly.

The show can be viewed in its entirety above.

California-based sports journalist Irvin discussed his ongoing attempts to find out why Irish swimming coach George Gibney is allowed to remain in the United States.

Meanwhile, the resignation of Frances Fitzgerald and all the convoluted political machinations of the week received a thorough going over with Vanessa and Johnny, in particular, getting ‘stuck in’.

A number of ‘f-bombs’.

Apologies.

What a week.

Time to gather YOUR thoughts and harness an adult beverage.

Two hours of unbridled natter.

A heart-felt thank you to, clockwise from top left: Johnny Keenan; ‘Preposterous‘; Olga Cronin, Mark Dempsey, Vanessa Foran and Luke Brennan, our panel on last night’s Broadsheet on the Telly.

It was our 40th episode and can be viewed in its entirety above.

And what a night it was.

With a General Election looming over proceedings, Olga guided us through the latest twists in the Maurice McCabe saga, Mark (speaking from a house party) discussed his project to galvanise the 900,000 people renting in the Republic of Ireland and Vanessa predicted the next FF leader may be a…ladyperson. Luke and Johnny, meanwhile, spent the night chopped up the contents of a large baggie of high grade ‘chat’ for all to share.

Some choice language.

Unsuitable for young adults.

Sorry.

Meanwhile…

Testing.

Are you replacing a broadcast quality microphone?

We are on the lookout for a reasonably-priced, job lot (if possible) of decent second hands mics for panelists and guests on Broadsheet on the Telly (often beset by audio ‘issues’). Contact Bodger at broadsheet@broadsheet.ie. Thanks.

You gave them 120 minutes.

They delivered two hours of quality natter.

A warm, cuddly thank you to, clockwise from top left: Johnny Keenan; Olga Cronin, Neil Curran (presenting his first entertainment slot), Lucky Khambula, ‘Preposterous‘ and Vanessa Foran, our panel on last night’s Broadsheet on the Telly.

The show can be viewed in its entirety above.

Topics wrestled to the ground included FG’s trolling of the homeless, the bungled rugby World Cup bid, Direct Provision and, controversially, repossessions.

Things got a little heated and palpably foul-tempered in places.

Viewer discretion strongly advised.

Sorry all.

Meanwhile….

Mentioned by Lucky during the show.

A demonstration to call for the end of Direct Provision gathering at the Garden of Remembrance, Parnell Square, Dublin 1 tomorrow at 2pm.

All welcome.

Did you stay awake up?

A warm, enfolding thank you to, clockwise from top left, Olga Cronin, Vanessa Foran, Marcel Kreuger, Martin McMahon and ‘Preposterous’, our panel on last night’s Broadsheet on the Telly.

The show can be viewed in its entirety above.

Sadly, Johnny Keenan and Neil Curran were no shows. Colic blamed in both cases. And Belfast-based guest Shayna O’Neill slept it out.

The panel, meanwhile, mulled over the issues surrounding Michael Colgan’s tenure at the Gate Theatre and Martin broke down the bogus self employment scheme that CHEATS us all.

Brief swearing.

Sorry.

Details on Martin’s book Ramshorn Republic mentioned on the show can be found here.
