10.30 Everyday – The Coffee Break
In Association With
Sit down and relax with Tom every morning with a coffee break. Just after half ten, he will be slurping his way through whatever mug of fancy beverage he forced some poor hapless researcher to run out and buy for him. He may discuss biscuits. He may whine about something thats bothering him. He might just sit there staring blankly into the microphone. It’s a coffee break, that’s what people do on their coffee break. (Or tea, we have nothing against tea drinkers). Have a suggestion for how Tom could spend his coffee break? Email tom@newstalk.ie.

Live Music Session
Each week, Tom has a live musical guest in having a chat and playing a song. After that we ferry them away to another studio and they record a track especially for us. They record a song, it can be one of their own or a song that means a lot to them musically and personally. There have been real gems so far and we’re giving you the chance to listen back her on the site.
