Oliver’s ballad on Leo’s departure puts him in the pantheon of political satirists—long may Callan reign! Barcroft

What a great show. The interview with Norma had me in stitches a few weeks back

Consistently the best show on radio/podcasts, I didn’t think it could get funnier but Heather gasping “oh no is it the king?!” last week (to news of Leo’s poll death) almost made me crash the car. Still laughing. Brilliant.

Tired show with bad impressions and unfunny sketches. Needs better writers and someone who can do impressions. Waste of the licence fee.
Walter Smithers via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 03/08/23
Oliver Callan is, without doubt, Ireland’s finest mimic & satirist, having wrested this title from a tired & bland Mario Rosenstock more than a decade ago. Callan’s satire provides, I suspect, more truth in the current events that we would all like to admit. This podcast, when taken in...Read full review »

Great round up of current events. It’s far more enjoyable than reading or watching the depressing news! Callan is extremely talented! This podcast brightens up my week!

Is there any possibility you could broaden the number of characters on the show? It’s the same old every week, the politicians in particular, and the same jokes flogged to death. You’re well able!

Glad it’s back 😃

Callan’s range of impersonations is next to none and I always look forward to this show each week.

Bloody genius writing and brilliantly produced. Oliver Callan a talented man

This show, podcast is a must, on the same level as John Stewart from the Daily Show. Uses comedy to Expose the reality that the so called news fails to deliver

I love Callan’s kicks and I even prefer the Tubridy show when he does it. He’s funny but has a serious side you don’t always see. Sometimes he mentions things I wasn’t aware of so I have to check them out and make sure I’m well informed. I’d give it 6 stars if possible.

So glad you’re back

Absolutely hysterical - Mary Lou and the party arriving in Leinster House is brilliant
David the Beach Boy via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 02/16/20
Callan’s Kicks is better than any of the satirical shows on BBC TV or radio and that’s saying something. Makes me laugh out loud which is no mean feat.
Mallarie121 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/05/20
Incisive and informative. Step away from the congestion and enjoy.

A brilliant satirist at work.
ladner via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/22/19
This guy is a comedy genius, his writing is so sharp and witty and is an excellent political satirist, speaks truth to power etc.. then on top of that the voice mimicking is world class. Living in the US so only know half the characters but have to say best Trump impression... period.

dnwvster via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 04/21/18
I love it, gives me s good laugh while commuting 3 hours a day
oonaghB via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 04/03/18
Other than the deeply irritating screamy sports guy, this is great.
enfletchem via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 04/02/18
Everything about this show is very well produced,topical, and very funny. Even though I’m living in Australia I can recognise all the characters and topics. Only one complaint... it should be longer. 👌
Axispc via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/16/18
