About The Show

For a break from all that news and information throughout the day, check out Ronan Collins on RTÉ Radio 1 at midday where you'll find a feast of music and laughs. A feel-good show to help you through your day.

It's the show that has it all - Listeners Choices, Old Favourites, plus the best of the new as well as many musical surprises.

With a cheeky grin, Ronan enjoys the challenge of filling the afternoon with a show which is a contrast to the news and features programmes across the rest of the schedule on RTÉ Radio 1. His easygoing personality is a welcome interlude from the world around us.
