TIKTOPICAL - OCT 21ST 2026
Today at 6:00 PM

It’s TikTokical with Mícheál, Shane and Ella, digging into the For You Page and the biggest pop culture stories doing the rounds.

First up: Sam Fender is bringing the “Proper Massive Stadium Tour” to Marley Park - and the gang are buzzing… but also asking the very fair question: what stadium is in Marley Park? Plus, will Olivia Dean make an appearance, or does Sam not need anyone attached to him at all?

Then, Noah Kahan goes full stealth mode, allegedly sneaking into an Olivia Rodrigo show in a blonde wig and face mask...


TUESDAY TREAT - OCT 20TH 2026
Today at 12:00 PM

It’s Tuesday Treat time on iRadio with Mícheál, Shane and Ella, and they’re convinced it’s “the greatest game on Irish radio” - a tear, a sniff, a crunch… and you’ve got to guess what they’re eating.

This week’s treat causes absolute mayhem in the studio: crumbs everywhere, two biscuits stuck together, and a “tragic crunch” because it’s somehow crunchy and chewy at the same time.

Clues start flying — there’s even talk of a little heart, jelly-like bits, and Turkish Delight slander - before WhatsApp goes on fire with the correct answe...


ACT YOUR AGE - TREVOR FROM SLIGO
Today at 8:00 AM

It’s time for another round of Act Your Age, and this one’s a proper head-melter. Blindfolded in Sligo, Mícheál has 30 seconds to figure out Trevor’s age just by firing questions at him.

Trevor’s in college, somehow juggles fencing and musical society, and plays a ridiculous amount of instruments… then casually says his favourite band is The Beatles. Old soul or young lad?

The gang break down the clues: the haircut request, the “walking home” after a night out, and even whether the name Trevor is automatically 46.

Guesses fly from 20 to 5...


GIMME 5 - AIDEN FROM DUBLIN
Yesterday at 8:00 PM

It’s “Gimme 5” on iRadio with Mícheál, Shane and Ella, and the gang are still arguing over their own score after a bit of… “teamwork” on the last round.

They get Aiden on the line, driving home from Tipperary towards Rathcoole (after a full-on Irish geography wobble), and he’s roped straight into the 10-second challenge.

Topic? Five characters from The Simpsons. Aiden absolutely flies it, rattling off names at record speed and putting himself right in the mix for that jersey.

Plus: TikTok Simpsons clips, snack stops, and the Revolut fear mid-journey


TIKTOPICAL - OCT 20TH 2026
Yesterday at 5:30 PM

It’s TikTokical with Mícheál, Shane and Ella, diving into what’s all over their For You Pages today.

First up: Molly-Mae’s latest Adidas drop. From iced latte and matcha-inspired runners to the new “Samba slate”, the gang decide if they’re gorgeous… or just very generic, and whether Molly-Mae has an actual chokehold on people the way a new Liverpool jersey does.

Then it’s Joanne McNally “cracking America” on Jimmy Fallon, standing ovations, and the great chips-in-bed confusion (crisps, not fries).

Plus: Revolut going down across Ireland, cards being declined at the...


GIMME 5 - LEE IN MULLINGAR
Yesterday at 7:00 AM

It’s “Gimme 5” on iRadio with Mícheál, Shane and Ella - 10 seconds on the clock and you’ve got to name five things on the spot, even if you’re half guessing.

This time, they’re joined by Lee Brady in Mullingar, who’s fully in Halloween mode with the decorations up since October 1st and a joint costume plan: Willy Wonka and Violet Beauregarde.

Then it’s game time: five Halloween movies in 10 seconds. Lee absolutely flies it, pulls out a strong list, and even has the lads questioning one wild card pick.

Can a...


TIKTOPICAL - OCT 19TH 2026
Last Monday at 8:00 PM

It’s Tiktopical with Mícheál, Shane and Ella, giving you a peek at what’s taking over their For You Page this week.

First up: Kylie Jenner’s Victoria’s Secret catwalk debut and that jaw-dropping “fancy bra” situation… we’re talking $50 million, 18-carat gold and thousands of diamonds. The gang debate whether she earned it or just “cut her way to the top”.

Then it’s music drama as Liam Gallagher takes aim at Fontaines D.C., saying they’re not good enough to support Oasis on tour - jealousy, PR, or just pure slagging?


GIMME 5 - ELLEN DRIVING HOME
Last Monday at 6:00 PM

It’s Friday evening on iRadio and Mícheál, Shane and Ella are back with another round of “Gimme 5” - 10 seconds on the clock, one topic, and you’ve got to name five things before the buzzer.

Today’s caller is Ellen, on the road home from Dublin with a full car of sisters, friends and serious brainpower (teachers, trainee teachers and an engineer… no pressure).

Before the game even starts, the gang get distracted by the most important question of all: how many bathrooms is too many?

Then it’s Irish boyband chaos, a...


TIKTOPICAL - OCT 15TH 2026
Last Friday at 8:00 PM

It’s TikTopical on iRadio with Mícheál, Shane and Ella, and the For You Page is doing bits today.

First up: Joanne McNally’s massive American TV debut on Jimmy Fallon, the backlash over who he’s had on before, and Joanne’s response - she’s not shrinking herself because of one bad man. The gang are fully behind her… and also debating if Joanne is ten times funnier than Fallon.

Then it’s football chaos as the Champions League is back, with Troy Parrott, nine-goal madness, and Ella (somehow) watching a full 90 minutes...


GIMME 5 - EABHA FROM LEITRIM
Last Friday at 6:00 PM

It’s Mícheál, Shane and Ella back on iRadio,

The trio try to power through dodgy lines to get Eabha on from the road to Carrick, with one simple mission: name five Champions League teams in ten seconds.

Between background chaos, half-heard answers and the studio wondering if the place is falling down, they squeeze out a score, blame the strikes, and promise to get Ava back on for a proper chat.


MSE - RIP ZOE
Last Thursday at 8:00 AM

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 scales.

It’s raw, funny in places, and properly heartfelt - plus a big thank you to the team at Hawkfield V...


TIKTOPICAL - OCT 14TH 2026
10/14/2026

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 team rack up a 12-goal aggregate win over Kazakhstan, and the lads ask the real question: at what point do you just go home?

...


GIMME 5 - BRIAN FROM MEATH
10/14/2026

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 Weetabix… but it’s the last-minute pulls that have the studio in stitches.

Five out of five - and he’s top of the leaderboard for that jersey.


TIKTOPICAL - OCT 12TH 2026
10/13/2026

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 somewhere in the middle?

Then it takes a turn with the missing Make-A-Wish mascot bear “Hope” (five-foot teddy and all), before finishing on p...


MSE - FRIENDS REQUESTING MONEY OFF YOU
10/13/2026

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 for?

Expect tiny taxi totals, the price of a stamp, and some outrageous “don’t forget the 5 cent” behaviour… plus one brutal holiday-to-Gre...


GIMME 5 - SINEAD FROM MAYO
10/13/2026

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 tongue-twist panic) catches up right at the end.

Can three out of five be enough to get her over...


MSE - DO JACKETS BELONG ON DOGS?
10/12/2026

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.


GIMME 5 - DECLAN FROM CLARE
10/12/2026

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 cutting the second the timer starts.

Spanish Wi-Fi takes the win, and the lads reckon Declan will ha...


MSE - WHAT SHOULD BE ADDED TO GOOGLE MAPS?
10/09/2026

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 road full of potholes.

Plus: tractor warnings for the morning commute… and the ultimate feature - which McDonald’s ice cream machine is actually worki


GIMME 5 - PATRICK FROM MAYO
10/08/2026

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?


TIKTOPICAL - OCT 8TH 2026
10/08/2026

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: Sydney Sweeney is apparently Marilyn Monroe’s ninth cousin once removed… and yes, she’s prepared to defend it.

And to wrap: Wayne Rooney’s o...


GIMME 5 - TARA IN DONEGAL
10/07/2026

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 sometimes the cows are louder than your brain.


TIKTOPICAL - OCT 7TH 2026
10/07/2026

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.

Then it’s closer to home as Paul Mescal pops up producing a psychological thriller short film filmed in Maynooth - and the la...


MSE - ASOS PHONE ALERT PANIC
10/06/2026

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 card info… it’s your order history, your shoe size lies, and the possibility of ASOS exposing your worst spending habits (or your cup size) to th


TIKTOPICAL - OCT 6TH 2026
10/06/2026

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 by a new viral daily game, Krillion: The Daily Dive. Can you beat the gang’s best score of 300?

Plus: CMAT hears a fan sing...


BEST OF MSE - EP 7
09/29/2026

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...


TIIKTOPICAL - SEPT 29TH 2026
09/29/2026

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 ac...


BEST OF MSE - EP 6
09/28/2026

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 despica...


TIKTOPICAL - SEPT 28TH 2026
09/28/2026

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.

Plu...


TIKTOPICAL - SEPT 25TH 2026
09/28/2026

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… bru


BEST OF MSE - EP 5
09/25/2026

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...


BEST OF MSE - EP 4
09/24/2026

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...


MSE catch up with KhakiKid
09/24/2026

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 pla...


BEST OF MSE - EP 3
09/23/2026

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 ac...


TIKTOPICAL - SEPT 23RD 2026
09/23/2026

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… spo...


BEST OF MSE - EP 2
09/22/2026

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...


TIKTOPICAL - SEPT 22ND 2026
09/22/2026

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 Traitor...


BEST OF MSE - EP 1
09/21/2026

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 Buzz with Joe Canning
07/16/2026

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.


Name Your Baby After a Celebrity?
07/15/2026

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?
