    Hey George. why dont you and your Technology guru Joe Drumgoole have an email or website we can see with all the stuff you review. Most other regular slots you have seem to have some kind of thing we can look at. As this is a tech slot then I think you need to get up to speed and give us some information and get with the tech age. Its A great bit of radio but sometimes lacks a bit of research as Joe seems to not have done all his homework for your questions. Also your podcasts seem to take ages to be updated and we are still waiting on yesterdays piece. Give us some more much needed information – please! Great work overall.

Well done Shane Diffily - and George Hook. Just visited likeplace.ie - very informative site.

What a relief to hear this guy get contradicted. Hook lets him get away with so many outright lies, half-truths, and exaggerations. Lot The Fox News crowd are now harping on about Obama treating the 'underpants' bomber like a normal criminal rather than a Dr. Evil-type supervillain. Conveniently ignoring the fact that Richard Reid was treated the same way under the Bush administration, complete with trial in a federal court. As if there isn't enough home-grown right-wing cranks like Myers and Harris with free access to the airwaves.
