There are very few 'must listen' shows on radio these days. You know, shows that just suck you in and keep you with them due to their creativity and spontanaiety..
One show that I always try and make a point of catching is Tommy and Hector on i102104 from Galway.
I just love Tommy Tiernan, always have. He just doesn't give a damn...it's seat of your pants stuff. Anyone who has ever seen his live stand-up show will know what I mean. The man is a genius.
Hector O'hEochagain is a live wire. He's like the kid that shouldn't have been allowed to eat the red Skittles! Hyperactive and loud. What a combination these two are...and they're in a studio together every Friday!!
Tommy ended up with the radio gig after announcing on RTE TV's Late Late Show that radio was something he always wanted to get involved in. Dan Healy, CEO of iRadio saw the interview and thought 'Hey, now that would be mad to get him on our station'. So Dan got in touch and away they went. What a piece of inspired programming.
Putting comedians behind a mic doesn't always work - when it does, it really does!
I'm wondering are they going to network the show on i105107 when it comes on air in a few days...?
Catch Tommy and Hector every Friday at 4pm on http://www.i102104.ie
Watch the lads in action:
