This section is co-hosted by Jeremy Dixon and includes phone, text-in competitions and callers to the show randomly winning cinema tickets.
Main Issues [edit]
Listeners are invited to submit topics by email and telephone for discussion on the programme between 22:30 and 00:30 nightly. These topics usually relate to issues affecting Dubliners, current affairs and listeners' personal problems.
Phone Show Extra [edit]
Phone Show Extra is broadcast between 00:30 and 01:00. It consists of previously broadcast material from the show over the years.
