Listening to the aural toe-jam that passes for a topic on Dermot and Dave (Today FM, weekdays), a soliloquy on beloved first responders now seems like a Proustian meditation on existence. All of which is fine, except that this is the mid-morning time slot that used to anchor Today FM’s daytime schedule. Though Dermot and Dave’s show is good natured, occasionally diverting and undeniably amusing, it also comes across as aimless and generic, much like Today FM itself. If the station’s programming were any more lifeless, you’d need to call 999. Golden eraHow Today FM must wish for a return to the golden era when the effortless popular touch of D’Arcy pulled in huge ratings.
