Advertise on podcast: Dave & Fionnuala on iRadio

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 Gimme 5 and absolutely flies through “types of bread” after describing the Ploughing Championships as “Coachella for culchies.”Plus: where should phones be banned? Restaurants, dinners, funerals, queues… and even concerts.

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 Zuckerberg donating €150k across three local GAA clubs. Sound gesture… or billionaire neighbour tactics?Plus: are RAYE and Michael B. Jordan actually a thing, or just friends who love rollercoasters?

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 obviously), and why are people sending photos of undercooked chicken like it’s a helpline?Plus: Shane gets exposed for the most despicable office crime yet… eating someone else’s prawn fried rice.

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 happen next.Then it’s a hard pivot to pop culture: the VMAs, surprise performances, and Taylor Swift hitting a ridiculous new record with 31 awards.Plus: a must-watch Irish TV pick - Eric Roberts’ new four-part doc on Virgin Media One, starting with “Crisis in the Classroom.”

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 big Irish gig announcements, ticket teases, and the great Alex Warren vs Benson Boone confusion. And of course, there’s Taylor Swift’s new songs getting rated… brutally.

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’re actually in control: knowing your bin day, making the bed, booking the NCT, and even replacing a cracked screen protector.Plus: after the Croke Park madness, they fantasy-book the ultimate Irish celeb boxing match-ups.

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 the way, backed up by wildly specific “indicators” from staycations to football and Love Island.And finally, Tuesday Treat… we bring a snack into studio, we describe it, and you have to guess what it is.

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 mates F3miii and Bricknasty, the Ireland Fashion Week modelling panic, and the Electric Picnic set ender he’s officially retired.Plus: MSE play a game of 'Date Nite - This or That' with KhakiKid

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 popular surnames, and the lads debate what name would look best.And finally: Electric Picnic predictions, secret acts… and the Irish surprise that actually showed up.

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 Niall Horan kicks off his Dinner Party Tour - including a really touching moment featuring Liam Payne’s voice as a tribute.And yes… spoiler alert: they unpack the Traitors Ireland finale, with a jaw-dropping twist that had them actually screaming at the TV.

This week on the Mícheál, Shane & Ella podcast, we’re looking back at some of our best bits… starting with the weird and creepy toys that are on toy shop shelves in 2026. Have you ever heard of "Butt Face"? That opens the floodgates to the creepiest toys from our childhoods: sticky aliens that give birth, dolls that pee and poop, and the one toy that seems to have traumatised an entire generation… Furbies. Plus, we discover the nightmare that is Fuggler toys.Then, we decide what celebrities over the age of 60 would make it onto our 'Hear Me Out ' cake.And finally: brothers. Smelly socks, stolen shampoo, dumbbells under the duvet . They really do know how to get on your nerves...

It’s TikTopical time, and the gang are diving straight into what’s living rent-free on their For You Pages this week.First up: GAA chat, as the Footballer of the Year nominees drop - David Clifford, Ryan O’Donoghue and Jack Carney - plus a look at the Young Footballer of the Year contenders and who we’re backing before the awards at the end of October.Then it’s full-on Irish influencer family drama, with the Chloe Ormond / Pippa O’Connor / Brian Ormond situation getting the Brooklyn Beckham treatment.And finally, it’s Traitors Ireland mania: no spoilers, but the finale is here - and it’s a season that’s properly turned a corner.

It’s a best-of Mícheál, Shane & Ella on iRadio, and the big highlight this week is Tuesday Treat - the game where the gang munch into the microphone (quietly… allegedly) and you have to guess what they’re eating. Then the chat swings to AI: what jobs would you happily hand over to the robots? From de-boning chicken wings, to decoding dashboard warning lights, to fixing printers...

All-Ireland final week is pure madness, and Joe Canning is in the thick of it - even while living in Limerick, married to a Limerick woman, and trying to dodge the endless “any tickets?” messages before the panic really kicks in Friday and Saturday. He chats about the real buzz in Galway since that semi-final win, what it’s like knowing nearly the whole panel, and the moments that still stand out from 2017 and that golden run of finals.

Dave (guilty as charged) falls for a clickbait headline about “thousands of Erling Haaland’s children in Peru” - and it spirals into a brilliant chat about the wildest baby-naming trend fuelled by football. Turns out Peru’s civil registry is packed with Haalands… but Neymar absolutely demolishes the numbers, with tens of thousands of namesakes, while “Lionel Messi” trails way behind. From there, it’s only right to ask: if you had to name your child after your favourite famous person, what are you calling them?
