FROM ALAN SUGAR’S APPRENTICE TO DUBLIN’S FAIR CITY: LOOSE WOMEN COMES TO RTÉ RADIO …
BBC Apprentice star Jennifer Maguire, Clelia Murphy from Ireland’s official top-rating soap Fair City, RTÉ Television presenter Geri Maye and Gerry Ryan Show reporter Evelyn O’Rourke went on a girls’ day out in Dublin today to mark the launch of Girl Talk [see separate picture release]. The brand-new digital radio series will begin broadcasting on RTÉ’s digital station RTÉ Choice this Saturday 7 November at 10.30am.
Every week presenter Evelyn O’Rourke will invite a squad of sharp-shooting female guests into studio. Novelist Amanda Brunker and journalist Larissa Nolan will also feature in the series.
The new show promises to stimulate your Saturdays with a dollop of full-fat radio as Evelyn gathers her panel for wide-ranging chat. Everything is on the agenda, from the real truth about labour pain to hiding the sneaky shopping bags from himself, from frank confessions about mother/ daughter relationships to the perils of living life through Facebook. They may even target one of life’s most enduring and controversial questions, asking “Are you on Team Jen or Team Angelina?’
Presenter Evelyn O’Rourke says: “Presenting the show is like going to a fabulous Hen party with a group of ladies who have strong opinions on anything and everything and aren’t afraid to share them. Laughter, tears, arguments and revelations are all part and parcel of a normal Girl Talk show.”
Evelyn O’Rourke is the reporter on the top-rating Gerry Ryan Show on RTÉ 2fm and has regularly contributed to a range of RTÉ Television and radio programmes including Operation Transformation, Seoige, Morning Ireland, The All-Ireland Talent Show and TG4’s Glas Vegas.
RTÉ Choice is one of 7 RTÉ Radio Digital stations. RTÉ Junior, Ireland’s only radio station for kids, recently completed a week-long celebration of programmes for Halloween.
