Podcast appearances and mentions of Bob Geldof

When the BBC aired journalist Michael Buerk's harrowing reports of Ethiopian famine in 1984, few could have imagined the enduring legacy they would inspire.

So, how did Band Aid's iconic Christmas single come about and why is it still causing controversy today? Host: Ellen Coyne | Guest: John Meagher *This podcast was first released in December 2024.

In a gloriously shambolic podcast debut of On The Record, Brian Wise and Michael Mackenzie briefly wrestle with technology; however, once the cockpit stops flashing warnings, they settle into a free-wheeling conversation about music, ageing audiences, dodgy voting scandals, Patti Smith, Beatles archaeology, sci-fi mind melds, and why matinee gigs are the greatest invention since the flat white. Wise and Mackenzie first teamed up when they co-presented Dig On The Radio, a summer season of music and performances on ABC Local Radio between 2003 and 2006. Since then, the pair have kept in touch both on and off the air, and decided there might be literally dozens of people eager to hear their meanderings in this new addition to the Rhythms stable. In this debut episode Michael and Brian meander through: The annual Rhythms Readers Poll, which, shockingly, people have actually tried to rig. (Move over Florida.) Why older gig-goers prefer concerts that end before the evening news, and the uncertain future for finding new music audiences via radio. Mavis Staples' new album, Sad and Beautiful World, which both agree is so good it may actually restore faith in humanity. A detour into Tom Jones, who's made excellent records while the world wasn't looking. Todd Snider, the mayor of East Nashville and patron saint of long, funny songs. Paul Kelly's new album and gig, celebrated for making audiences actually listen because they didn't know the lyrics yet. The Beatles Anthology reboot, where Apple Records proves once again that there is no bottom to the barrel if you have AI and Giles Martin. Final season of Stranger Things:  getting so dark it may require night-vision goggles Pluribus, the new Vince Gilligan sci-fi series about humanity becoming one hive mind—an idea Brian finds horrifying and Michael could really get behind. Cowboy Junkies live, who apparently sound so good Brian is still vibrating. The Springsteen biopic Deliver Us From Nowhere, prompting the important philosophical debate: Is it bi-OH-pic or BYE-opic? Patti Smith, whose writing has Michael crying and whose life stories have Brian reading again. Subscribe to here Substack here. A CNN Live Aid documentary, featuring Bob Geldof, Margaret Thatcher, and the invention of global-scale concert viewing way before GoFundMe. Watch on 9Now.

Paula Yates was a TV presenter and icon of British pop culture in the 80s and 90s. Her life with England's beloved Bob Geldof seemed perfect until musician Michael Hutchence came into the picture — their love triangle turned bad romance was tabloid fodder for years until their tragic end. Lena and Alissa discuss undeniable sexual chemistry, perfectionism at the root of addiction, and motherhood in the public eye.  This episode was first published on 05/21/2020.

New data from hiring platform Indeed reveals that hospitality, visa sponsorship and roles that offer flexibility are dominating the job searches, seeing the most growth in Ireland this year. These findings come as Indeed hosts its annual FutureWorks event in Dublin last week, where hiring professionals will hear from guest speaker Bob Geldof on how leadership and teamwork can change the world, as well as getting a preview of Indeed's new suite of AI-powered tools. Hospitality and service jobs feature prominently among the top growing searches. "Barista" takes the number one spot on the list, reflecting the ongoing growth of coffee culture in Ireland, while "hotel" ranked third, and searches for "receptionist" and "kitchen porter" also made the top ten. This comes as a VAT reduction for the sector was announced in the most recent Budget, which may support further hiring expansion across hotels, cafés, and restaurants. Meanwhile, searches for "Ireland visa sponsorship" ranked second, highlighting the country's strong appeal to international talent, particularly amidst visa rules tightening in some other countries. Almost 14% of searches on Indeed's Irish site now come from abroad, while 42% of workers in Ireland have foreign work experience (reflecting both the inflow of international workers and the experience gained abroad by Irish jobseekers). Employment permits issued reached record highs in 2024, underlining the openness from employers to sponsoring overseas candidates. Flexibility continues to be a defining feature of Ireland's job market, with searches for "remote" and "work from home" roles also featuring on the list. Indeed data shows that almost 1 in 5 (17%) job postings in Ireland now mention remote or hybrid options, sustaining the post-pandemic shift toward flexible working. Likewise, interest in part-time opportunities remains high, with roles like these being of particular interest to students, parents and caregivers seeking roles that can fit around their lifestyle and other commitments. Yet even with these emerging trends, the most common overall search on Indeed remains a "blank" query, where job seekers enter a location but leave the job title empty. This signals both career uncertainty and openness among job seekers exploring new directions, a gap that Indeed aims to address through its latest product innovations. Conor McCarthy, Vice President at Indeed, commented: "This year's top growing searches show us what jobseekers value most: opportunity, flexibility and mobility. The rise in hospitality and visa sponsorship searches reflects both a resilient domestic sector and strong global interest in Ireland's labour market. Meanwhile, demand for remote and work-from-home roles indicates a flexible work trend that's here to stay." "The prevalence of blank searches tells us many people are open to change but unsure where to start. With this new suite of products, we're aiming to help job seekers explore their options confidently and to help employers connect with the right talent quickly." The top growing job search terms on Indeed in Ireland for 2025: 1. Barista 2. Ireland visa sponsorship 3. Hotel 4. Receptionist 5. Part-time no experience 6. Kitchen porter 7. Marketing 8. Electrician 9. Cleaner 10. Sales assistant 11. Warehouse operative 12. Cleaning 13. Childcare 14. Security 15. Remote 16. Healthcare assistant 17. Administration 18. Part time 19. Warehouse 20. Retail 21. No experience necessary 22. Chef 23. General operative 24. Driver 25. Work from home

Irish popstar Sinéad O'Connor tore up a photo of Pope John Paul II during her performance of Bob Marley's ‘War' on NBC's TV show ‘Saturday Night Live' on 3rd October, 1992. The unexpected act was meticulously planned by O'Connor; a protest against child abuse within the Catholic Church.  The performance left the audience almost silent, and, although she faced significant backlash, O'Connor remained unapologetic, writing in her memoirs that it was one of her proudest achievements. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how a Top of the Pops performance by Bob Geldof first inspired the stunt; reveal where precisely O'Connor got the photo of the Pope from; and ask if, when it comes to this divisive moment, SNL have fallen on the right side of history… Further Reading: • ‘The day Sinead O'Connor tore up a photo of the Pope on Saturday Night Live' (The Independent, 2022): https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/features/sinead-oconnor-snl-pope-photo-b2191296.html • ‘Sinead O'Connor's Legacy With Sex Abuse Survivors in Catholic Church' (Rolling Stone, 2023): https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/sinead-oconnor-catholic-church-abuse-legacy-1234797102/ • ‘Sinéad O'Connor rips up picture of Pope John Paul II' (NBC, 1992): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGFj1WClin4 #90s #Religion #Protest #TV #Irish #Catholic CONTENT WARNING: child abuse This episode first aired in 2023 Thanks so much for supporting the show!

On July 13, 1985 the world experienced a television super concert that has never been replicated. Live Aid was a famine relief effort for Africa, which began with a Bob Geldof song and a "Feed The World" mantra that returns every Christmas. On the 40th Anniversary of a day made famous by so many bands and artists over the years, Nestor gathered his two brotherly pals, Richard and David Abrahams, who traveled to London to see the show at Wembley Stadium while he was in Philadelphia at JFK Stadium, writing a long-forgotten review of the concert that was unearthed.

Wielka Brytania w szoku po wycieku danych osobowych, który naraził na niebezpieczeństwo kilkanaście tysięcy Afgańczyków pomagających brytyjskiej armii przed powrotem do władzy talibów.

David Nelligan spoke to Bob Geldof ahead of his band The Boomtown Rats performing at the Revival festival in Listowel tomorrow evening, Saturday, July 19th.

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the legendary benefit concert Live Aid, the Broadcast Pioneers of Philadelphia hosted a conversation between Electric Factory Concerts co-founder and Live Aid Executive Producer Larry Magid and Pierre Robert. In the first part of the conversation Larry shared some technical aspects of the show like what it was like to work with Bob Geldof and Bill Graham to book the show and how they designed the rotating stage to keep the concert continuously going. Pierre Robert discussed how he would do "kamikaze interviews" backstage and talked how electric the crowd got after the Led Zeppelin and CSNY reunions. These stories and many more in this first half of the conversation. A special thanks to the Broadcast Pioneers of Philadelphia for hosting and recording the event and to T Morgan for moderating the conversation.

It’s a celebration of the 40th anniversary of Live Aid! Live Aid was grand in scope and ambition. It was largely the brainchild of an unlikely hero, Bob Geldof, the Irish singer who fronted The Boomtown Rats, and who had helped assemble the all-star cast of Band Aid. Watched by 1.5 billion people, Live Aid eventually raised $127 US million for famine relief in Africa. But beyond that, Live Aid was also a cultural touchstone that showed the power of pop music and the determination of millions of people to make a difference in the world. Hours before the event took place, Christopher Ward had a chat with organizer Bob Geldof, who, in his intense way, told of the importance of Live Aid. He disputes the cultural significance in favour of the pragmatic view of delivering much needed aid to African famine relief. It’s an extraordinary interview with a man who is firing on all cylinders, almost to the breaking point. And of course, we also talk about the music, including: Although Geldof didn’t want them in the lineup, Freddie Mercury and the band provided the most memorable 22 minutes of the day, perhaps the best ever performance in music history. U2 – We have the full story of why they played only two songs that day… and how it became a major moment on their road to superstardom. David Bowie’s set was also memorable. But he almost didn’t play that day. And it was all because of a CBC report on the famine. We have the full story. Duran Duran. Simon LeBon made a considerable gaffe during one of their songs. He considers it the most embarrassing moment of his career. Led Zeppelin - why Jimmy Page blamed Phil Collins for Zeppelin’s less than perfect performance. There were also a number of artists who chose not to perform that day, including Bruce Springsteen, Michael Jackson, Prince, Culture Club and Huey Lewis. At least two of those acts regretted that decision. And we talk about the importance of Live Aid as a cultural milestone. Famous Lost Words, hosted by Christopher Ward and Tom Jokic, is heard in more than 100 countries worldwide and on radio stations across Canada, including Newstalk 1010 Toronto, CJAD 800 Montreal, 580 CFRA Ottawa, AM 800 CKLW Windsor, 610 CKTB St Catharines, CFAX Victoria, AM1150 Kelowna and 91x in Belleville. It is in the Top 20% of worldwide podcasts based on the number of listeners in the first week.

Welcome to Part 2 of our deep dive into Live Aid as it turns 40. In Part 1 we spoke about the creation and buildup to the event on July 13, 2025 at Wembley Stadium in London and JFK in Philly. It was billed as a legendary fundraiser to support starving people in Africa organized by Bob Geldof which attracted some of the greatest artists of several generations. On our second installment, we break down the live acts throughout the day in the US and during the prime afternoon and evening times in the UK. While some stand out fo incredible performances (The Wolf was partial to Chrissie Hynde and the Pretenders among them), some top of the charts performers hit some bad notes (yes, we're going there). And of course, we discuss the infamous Led Zeppelin reunion and interview with Alan Hunter. Part 3 will be released July 13, 2025 to coincide with the 40th anniversary of Live Aid. We are excited about 2 interviews with people who were at the stage in Philadelphia that day, including one of the original MTV VJs.

This Summer marks the 40th anniversary of the most ambitious and successful benefit concerts for the purpose of aiding war-torn refugees from the nation of Ethiopia.

It may be hard to believe for those of you who can remember it, but this month marks the 40th anniversary of the iconic music extravaganza that was LiveAid. David Hepworth co-presented the BBC's coverage of the event, a role that gave him a ringside seat at Queen's celebrated performance and led to a sweary encounter with Bob Geldof. In conversation with Spencer Mizen, David shares his main recollections of the day and reveals why he believes, following 13 July 1985, the world of entertainment would never be the same again.

B.P. Fallon joins Ray to talk about his career and life which has now become the subject of an excellent documentary called 'Rock'n'Roll Wizard' which premieres at the Galway Film Fleadh this weekend and features interviews with Bob Geldof, Debbie Harry, Donovan, Robert Plant, Imelda May, Michael D. Higgins and more.

Live Aid may have been the cultural event for Gen X'ers just as Woodstock was for their baby boomer parents. Bob Geldof had led a group of British pop artists to the charity single Do They Know It's Christmas? That inspired US artists to create We Are The World. Both singles were to aid millions of starving people in Africa who were suffering from severe drought and broken politics. The huge success of the songs lead Geldof to be even more ambitious in coordinating a dual continent live concert with the biggest stars of the day (and with some legends as well) to raise money for Africa. On July 13, 1985 artists gathered in Wembley Stadium in London and JFK Stadium in Philadelphia and MTV broadcast 15 hours of programming which we ate up! Though a million things could have gone wrong, the day was an amazing event that raised money and awareness for a dire situation and brought together the most incredible lineup of talent. This is the first of 3 parts commemorating this incredible event. Here we'll breakdown how the singles came together, who came, who didn't, controversies and legacy. We name all the acts on both coasts before breaking down the UK performances before the US feed was piped into the UK. Part 2 will have the primetime acts from the UK and the US and we discuss the now infamous Led Zeppelin performance. But we're really excited about Part 3 which will feature interviews from 2 folks who were in Philadelphia that day - one of whom was an MTV VJ!! Viewed by 1.5 billion people around the world, the MTV broadcast in the US is so memorable for The Wolf and Action Jackson, we couldn't wait to reminisce about it. Talking to one of the original MTV VJs was a dream come true! But that's Part 3, for now listen to our excitement building up to the event, how we snuck off to watch it and the acts stood out early in the broadcast.

Comedian Brad Williams sits in with Adam and Jason “Mayhem” Miller to talk about the meaning behind Bob Geldof's song I Don't Like Mondays, sour cream ruining quesadillas, bathrobes, Adam's new YouTube series Road Rants and the mean comments it has been inspiring, and harmonica-led national anthems. They then try to figure out if the comedian Gallagher's brother is still alive with mixed results. Adam, Jason, and Brad Williams then go over the news stories of the day including a family continually catching a stranger using their pool, Jay Leno saying he made a mistake letting Kimmel humiliate him on his own show, and a lively debate over whether or not 100 men could defeat 1 gorilla. Elisha Krauss comes on to close out the show talking about the difference between conservative and liberal podcasts and YouTube shows, the Democrat's playbook to combatting Trump, Kamala Harris' potential run for Governor, how she approaches writing Op-Ed's for the Washington Examiner, what constitutes the best time for a radio news show, and why blind loyalty to politicians is a losing venture.

Today on Too Opinionated, singer Zara Phillips comes back for another visit. Somebody's Daughter - and the 2018 book and 2022 one-woman show the film is based on – focusses on Zara's personal journey of overcoming early addiction, navigating her life and meeting her birth father after many years and struggles after connecting with her birth mother. The project's true driving force is tofacilitate honest, vulnerable conversations about adoption. Too many people, she says, are ignoring these important issues. In addition to acting and writing, Zara is also a talented singer and songwriter who launched her career in the 80s, appearing in music videos and providing backing vocals on tour with Bob Geldof, Matt Bianco, David Essex and Nick Kamen. While taking some years away from creative endeavors to raise a family, she came back strong in the 2000s, releasing two albums(When The Rain Stops and You. Me & Us) produced by Ted Perlman, whose multi-faceted musical resume includes Whitney Houston, Bob Dylan and Chicago; earning a Best Homegrown Documentary honor for her 2008 film Roots Unknown at the Garden State Film Festival; and publishing in 2008 her first book Mother Me, a compelling memoir about her ongoing struggles as an adoptee now raising a family of her own. A few years later, Zara's song “I'm Legit,” co-written with Darryl McDaniels (DMC of Run-DMC), was a successful single in the adoption world and beyond. In 2014, Zara's one woman show Beneath My Father's Sky, directed by Eliza and Eric Roberts won Best Direction at NYC's United Solo Festival and was performed in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Connecticut and London in 2016. During this era, she was presented with an Angel in Adoption Award by the Congressional Coalition of Adoption Institute. Her most recent album, released in 2020, is Meditation and Kitkats, and she currently tours and performs with her husband, British folk-rock legend Richard Thompson, who scored Somebody's Daughter.   Want t owatch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)
