We all need a break, and the team behind The Talk Show for Talkers are no exception. So for the month of August we will be playing repeats of some of our best shows. Keep tuning in on Friday evenings at 8pm or check the Schedules page for the repeats.
Following the reorganisation of the Irish Radio International schedules the number of repeats of TSFT has reduced to five from seven and the times have changed to a four-hour basis. Please refer to the "Schedules" page for full details of the new times.
Tom Hebel has moved on due to heavy work commitments. For the time being the show will continue with Ted Mellamphy and Moira O'Brien with occasional guest presenters.
