Do you think Mattie is brill and are you mightily miffed that I dissed it in our last pod? Do you want to support Rosemary in her love of American teen drama? (Freak!) Do you want to talk about a show we haven’t got round to watching? Well have at ye!

We are now accepting audio comments! A la Neville Hobson & Shel Holtz over on For Immediate Release from whom I robbed the idea we invite you to skype your comments to TheRosieView where you can leave a voicemail. Alternatively you can mail audio comments (2MB or less) to thetellybox at therosieview dot ie

Ep. 8: Shock revelation Rosemary proposes live on air

Not to me thankfully but Simon Cowell if you’re reading this click on the link below and fast forward to 17m45s. The Blonde Bombshell wants you. However I would have grave reservations about you becoming a member of my family.

Who’s Simon Cowell? Watch below and then crawl back under your rock

Hmmm anyway. Apologies I did something odd to the sound this week and will not do it again if I can work out what it was. It’s a steep learning curve…

00m55s We kick off the show by inviting you to be our guest. Honestly. Leave a comment below and we’ll get back to you.

01m26s Rosemary kicks off her weekly TV News Roundup (which this week actually has a backing track whatcha think? Keep or no?) including

her Big Brother Blast (last for this year!)
02m 49s Rosemary picks Sophie to win again (turns out she was right!)
02m 56s Wallace & Gromit to get their own primetime show about inventions
03m 5s What Katie did next beaten in the ratings by Going It Alone
04m 24s Late Late Show kicks off on Friday

05m10s Last bit of news isn’t part of the Roundup actually. We were sent a copy of their Autumn Schedule by the lovely people in TV3 which we really enjoyed flicking through.
06m14s A discussion ensues about Midday and the nature of television for women. I make the point that at least it looks good unlike a lot of other Irish studio television.
11m31s Rosemary asks me what I am going to be watching from Le Book? I say I will definitely The Zoo and then proceed to go right off topic and wax lyrical about the Zoo and rhinos bonking.
13m53s Rosemary is going to be watching Good Teens Gone Bad
15m28s Rosemary says shes is going to watch Baby Beauty Pageants
16m21s Roseanne is anticipating The Guards with a certain amount of dread
16m58s We’re both happy that so much of TV3′s new schedule is homegrown
17m45s Rosemary is looking forward to the Simon Cowell story because she is in fact in love with him.
20m34s Then we discuss THE TV event of the Year: The Rose of Tralee. We couldn’t remember how the song goes so here for you Rosemary:

But actually the following cheesiness is way better and it features Ryan Tubridy – more in the next episode about him!

22m12s Rosemary tells us how to spot if Mammy Mac Cabe is lying
26m02s Rosemary talks about how the Roses of Tralee are show ponies. Personally I think she has a point but I’m going to keep watching it purely in the hope that there might be changes… Wishful thinking.
32m42s What’s coming up next week & bye bye!

New kids on the block

But next year I tells ye….!

Congratulations to all those nominated in the Podcast category of the Irish Web Awards. Sadly no-one thought to nominate The Rosie View even though I did suggest it very strongly. And yes I know I could have nominated our podcast myself but where is the frisson of triumph in that?! Well as the saying goes, age before beauty, I’ll see you all there next year when I have a year of beautiful podcasts under my ever-expanding belt.

Here’s the complete list – I’m off to have a listen and then I will make my predictions:
