My two passions in history. Irish radio history & the history of the licensed trade in Ireland. I must thank my old history teachers @MarianCollege for lighting it up. @IBIreland @LVADublinPubs
Surely @BBCNews the weather could have waited rather than cut from the Chris Brown sentencing just @ moment of sentencing? Then an advert about trusting you to bring the viewers the news. Shocking waste & a complete turnoff. Is this top of the hour break compulsory? @newswatchbbc
1927, a dismissal at a small Irishtown butcher’s shop sparked a bitter industrial dispute that would drag on for 6mths, trade unionists & police in conflict, & repeatedly land its central figures before the courts. Behind the picket lines and courtroom confrontations lay a story.
Cheering on @LongfordTownFC in the heart of France. Come on De Town @Kieran_B_Sport give an award winning commentary
In 1931, when US legendary banjo player Eddie Peabody returned after a successful 5 year tour of the British Isles, if his PR really understood which newspapers they were quoting to get more gigs back home? @BanjoMuseum @An_Phoblacht @RTElyricfm
How many remember this Cork pirate radio station? @CobhTourism @OfficialCobhGAA @radiowavesfm @FMDXIreland
In 1934 & 1937, the United States were the big financial winners when Irish radio was still in its infancy. Fascinating reports sent back from Dublin to Washington throughout the 30s. @CNaM_ie @RadioTodayIE @DCUmediahist @IBIreland

A word from me on TNT Sports presenter Rachel Casey.
Never mind her skills as a television presenter - which are top level of course - that was pure humanity from Rachel.
Her warmth, decency and kindness were exactly what was needed. Thank God she was on duty.

Liquid Radio, a frequent pirate, was heard at 00:45 UTC last night. The usual 70s rock music. Otherwise, another quiet evening for SW.

Genuinely one of the most heartbreaking interviews I’ve seen of a sportsman at rock bottom. The interviewer gives a perfect example of how to be there for someone struggling. The compassion shown. The hug. The kindness. Hope Mark gets the help he needs.

The two playoff games will be on at the Slainte Irish pub in Champniers. I may need to educate but we start small and grow. @Longford_Leader @LongfordTownFC
This new(ish) US phenomenon, the Auditor. Clickbait citizens with a camera generating rows for no real reason, denouncing 'karens' & FR just because you carry your phone & say you're the citizen press is NOT an excuse to complain if the police are trying to prevent you looting
