I listen to David Dunseith for years, as quality interviewer you would have and pulled no punches

Dunseith is sorely missed. He was firm but fair. Challenged everyone to think differently.

Rufus T Firefly was bang on the marx with his earlier post. Was listening to Lynette Faye one Saturday evening recently. Apart from her annoying habit of talking over the song intros until the vocals start, she was all over The Moy team who were on their way home from winning their All Ireland semi. It was a refreshing change to hear that sort of thing

Still miss good old Gerry Anderson - used to Tune in every morning for the hand over Nolan to Gerry slot.  Some of the calls that gerry took that were aired on the Animation show 'On The Air' were excellent.  Still can get a good few of them on youtube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1M5j-VaZIw

Nolan could never deal with Gerry Anderson who followed him every day.

Sean Coyle who was his sidekick still does a fair job with the music at 10-30 am each day under the guidance of producer Michael Bradley.  Doesn't always get it right as he panders to a few regular listeners' requests but Bradley does keep him on track most of the time.

Legend.  Unashamed bigots who came on his show gently had their true agenda unravelled and were shown up in their true light.    He was the antithesis of Nolan who gives bigots a platform.  Can you imagine how Dunseith would have handled Jamie Bryson?

That would have been a great arse wiping interview!
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

I wouldn't watch a minute if it, life's too short

Talkback can be very good. Nolan however most certainly has a very clear agenda. I'd love to see some sort of statistical analysis of unionist/nationalist guests on his show. To my mind there are only four fully fledged regulars on his show - Jim Allister, Jamie Bryson, Nelson McCausland and Malachi O'Doherty. That tells you it all. Three of the most bigoted unionists you could find and a man who would most likely be a small 'u' unionist but who is a devoted opponent of all things republican.

Nolan simply does not have a nationalist/republican guest on his show to anything CLOSE to the same frequency as the four mentioned above.

Take Jim Allister alone - a tweet yesterday noted that in the space of the ten days until yesterday (9th-19th February), Nolan had him as a guest on his radio/tv shows on the 9th, 11th, 12th, on BOTH his radio and TV shows on 14th, on 15th and the 19th.

It seems unashamedly pointed.

Have a wild guess who is on Nolan again this morning.  ::)

Agreed. he's a sensationalist. I dont watch his show, listen to his other show or follow him on twitter.

I caught his podcast on the paedophile hunters last week through a recommendation on here. That'll do me for another few years.

Wtf was Nolan at with them Russian dolls. He's some clown!
