Dave & Fionnuala on iRadio

Shane’s back in studio with Mícheál and Ella, but it’s a tough return after saying goodbye to his beloved dog Zoe, who’d been part of the family for 14 years. They chat through the weird, very Irish side of it all: apologizing to the vet while you’re literally in bits, calling it “put to sleep” instead of “put down”, and even popping to the groomers first so Zoe wouldn’t get “fat-shamed” on the sc...

It’s TikTopical on iRadio with Mícheál, Shane and Ella, diving into what’s all over their For You Pages (and the headlines) today. First up: the nationwide public sector strike. They break down what it means for schools, hospitals, driving tests and even college grads, plus Ella’s very enthusiastic “beep beep” support on the commute. Then it’s onto a massive moment for Irish sport as the women’s t...

It’s Gimme 5 time on iRadio, with 10 seconds on the clock and zero room for thinking. Mícheál, Shane & Ella get Brian on the line post-shift in Tommy Farrelly's in Oldcastle, County Meath, after a quick sidetrack into “foods people pretend to like” (and where Guinness lands). Then it’s game on: name five breakfast cereals before the buzzer. Brian fires out Rice Krispies, Corn Flakes and Weetab...

It’s Tiktopical time with just Mícheál and Ella in studio (no Shane), diving into what’s popped up on their weird and wonderful For You Pages. First up: Dermot Kennedy announcing three Irish outdoor headline shows for June 2027 - one night in Belfast and two in Cork, with Aaron Rowe on support and tickets going on sale Friday. They’re also asking the real question… why Belfast and Cork and not som...

It’s iRadio with Mícheál & Ella (no Shane today), and a new AIB headline has them shook: apparently our social awkwardness is costing us about €150 a year because we won’t ask people for the money they owe us. From the classic “no, no, I’ll get it” coffee catch-ups to paying back half a €50 lunch on Revolut, they’re asking the big question: what’s the smallest amount you’ve ever been chased fo...

It’s Gimme 5 time on iRadio with Mícheál, Shane & Ella… except Shane’s not in today, and there’s a jersey of your choice up for grabs. Sinead is on the line from Ballina, Mayo, and she’s game for the 10-second challenge: name five things on the topic before the buzzer goes. The category? Irish racecourses. She flies out of the blocks with a few quickfire answers, but the clock (and a bit of to...

It’s iRadio with Mícheál, Shane & Ella, and Mícheál has a very real dilemma. Do jackets belong on dogs, yay or nay? Especially for smaller breeds like a Jack Russell/mini poodle mix. The texts start flying in: keeping dogs dry, cutting down the smell and drying time, “normalize dog jackets” (like rugs on horses)… while others reckon it’s just not for every dog.

It’s Gimme 5 time on iRadio with Mícheál, Shane & Ella: 10 seconds on the timer, one topic, and you’ve got to name five things before the buzzer. This time they ring Declan from Clare… only he’s not at home at all - he’s in Spain, living it up in Ferrari Land with his wife and three kids. But when the game kicks off, disaster strikes. Irish fashion brands, dog breeds… and the line keeps cuttin...

Mícheál, Shane & Ella spot a UK update on Google Maps that lets you compare petrol and diesel prices… but only across the water and naturally the big question is: when (or will) it land in Ireland? From there the lads start dreaming up what Google Maps should really be telling us. Free parking spots, card-friendly car parks, and a proper “road quality” rating before you’re sent down some back...

It’s Gimme 5 time with Mícheál, Shane & Ella: 10 seconds on the timer, one topic, and you’ve got to fire out five answers before the pressure gets to you. This week they’re joined by Patrick Cunningham from Mayo, just after finishing a day’s labouring on the mechanical and engineering side. But can Patrick keep the cool when the category lands: five furniture retailers?

It’s TikTopical time with Mícheál, Shane & Ella as they trawl through their For You Page and see what’s blowing up online. First up: the viral video of students absolutely wrecking a house in College Court, Castletroy. The gang are equal parts raging and stunned - who films themselves doing it and thinks everyone will cheer them on? Then Ella goes deep on a Hollywood “family tree” reveal: Sydn...

It’s Gimme 5 time on iRadio with Mícheál, Shane & Ella - 10 seconds on the clock, one topic, and you’ve got to rattle off five answers before the buzzer. This time they’re joined by Tara from Donegal… who’s mid-job feeding the calves while trying to play along. But when the category lands - five movies filmed in Ireland - the pressure hits hard. Sometimes the topic just doesn’t suit you… and s...

It’s TikTopical time with Mícheál, Shane & Ella as they dive back into the For You Page and what everyone’s chatting about this week. First up: the end of an era as Messi plays what the gang reckons is his final ever international game for Argentina… and of course he scores. Plus, the Messi vs Ronaldo debate flares up again after Cristiano reportedly storms off in a huff over being benched. Th...

Mícheál, Shane & Ella wake up to a very weird ASOS notification doing the rounds in Ireland - “we have fully compromised the snowflake instance”… excuse me? They break down what ASOS are saying, why you absolutely should not be clicking random links (even if it’s on the work laptop), and why being told to “Download Telegram” is the biggest red flag going. Plus: the real fear isn’t your bank ca...

It’s TikTokical time as Mícheál, Shane & Ella dive into their For You Page and the stuff everyone’s talking about. First up: the Budget chat turns into pure “dollar, dollar, dollar” chaos - student fees, rent tax credits, free contraception, smokes going up… and Shane losing the head because nobody’s saying a word about fuel (or the price of a stamp). Then the office gets absolutely taken over...

It’s a Best Bits episode of the Mícheál, Shane & Ella podcast, pulling the funniest chaos from the iRadio drive-time show. First up, the gang go hunting for the ultimate “I’ve seen them live” record… and it escalates fast. From Harry Styles, to Westlife, to The 1975, and then a Galway listener casually dropping that they have seen one artist over 20 times! Then Daire from Roscommon jumps on Gi...

It’s TikTopical again as Mícheál, Shane & Ella hit the For You Page and catch up on the biggest bits in their world. First up: Florence Road have their instruments nicked… and then absolute legend Eddie Vedder steps in at Ohana Fest to save the day. Also, Shane has to publicly apologise for asking “who’s Eddie Vedder?” in the office. Then it’s Waterford news you didn’t know you needed: Mark Zu...

It’s another Best Bits catch-up on the Mícheál, Shane & Ella podcast, pulling some chaos straight from the iRadio drive-time show. First up: Gimme Five goes off the rails when an 11-year-old nominates her own mother to play… and immediately regrets it. Can you name five airports in Ireland in ten seconds? How many messages a year is “normal” to text your mother? What are the top texts (money o...

It’s TikTokical, and the gang are back digging through their For You Pages to see what’s taken over TikTok this week. First up: Irish football goes fully worldwide as Ireland play Israel behind closed doors in Hungary - and the chat turns to protests, support online, and goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu pulling himself from the squad. With more fixtures looming, they break down what happened and what might...

It’s Tiktopical, baby. Mícheál, Shane & Ella dive into their For You Pages and, honestly, the algorithm is doing bits. First up: international football chat goes from “why is there an international break?” to Ireland catching strays, plus a whistle-stop tour of the massive fixtures… including a truly elite Malta vs Andorra mention, and Klopp + Van Dijk’s wholesome reunion hug. Then it’s into b...

It’s Best of Mícheál, Shane & Ella, and the gang are kicking off September with one big question: where is the marketing budget we were promised? From wrapping random listeners’ cars with their faces to bucket hats, MSE rubbers, and even “Electric Picnic sponsored by Mícheál, Shane & Ella”… the ideas get outrageous fast. Then it’s time to “get your sh*t together” season, with the signs you...

It’s another “Best Bits” catch-up on the Mícheál, Shane & Ella podcast, looking back on the last few days from the show on iRadio. First up: kids with absolutely no filter. From classroom roasts and chin-brushing “hairdos” to the farming-background child who confidently points out it’s not a cow because it has balls... Then Shane returns with his monthly tradition: claiming a recession is on t...

It’s a special one on the Mícheál, Shane & Ella podcast as we’re joined by KhakiKid. He chats about going from an “alpha male trillionaire mindset” to just chilling and making music, the artists who inspired him (yes, Natasha Bedingfield gets a very real shoutout), and how “background” isn’t a barrier - it’s a superpower. We get into how his single 'Take A Trip' came together with his best mat...

It's time to look back on the best of Mícheál, Shane & Ella, and it starts with the most important tradition of all: Tuesday Treat. The gang have been to Tesco, they’re dishing out clues, and listeners are throwing in guesses from custard creams to Penguin bars… and somehow someone actually gets it right. Then it’s crisps chat as Tayto launch “Grab a Tayto With” featuring Ireland’s most popula...

It’s TikTopical time on Mícheál, Shane & Ella, and the gang are straight into pop culture chaos from their 'For You Pages'. First up: Taylor Swift news, after a mystery website countdown turns into a new single announcement (“Patient Zero”) and an extended version of The Life of a Showgirl. Naturally, they ask the real question: why not just drop everything at once? Then it’s tour chat, as Nia...
