BOB, but louder.

Sound is off because BOB assumes you're already listening. Hit the speaker if you're brave.

Who is BOB?

Many genres. One dial.

BOB started in a shed with two turntables, a half-stack Marshall, and an argument that never ended. Years later, we still haven't picked a winner — and that's the whole point.

Expect a four-on-the-floor build-up followed by a wall of distorted guitars. Expect to dance and headbang in the same song. Expect BOB.

SONGS

Social proof

What people are saying

Mostly unsolicited. All entirely unfiltered.

I think BOB is a fool.

— Deirdre, Dublin

I always knew he was weird.

— A lad from Bray

I knew him years ago when he was normal.

— Someone who went to school with BOB

He played the same song twice and I wasn't even angry.

— Ciarán, Cork

My mam thinks BOB is a phase.

— Sinéad, Galway

Finally, a radio station that ignores me properly.

— Track-request guy

I asked for a request and BOB laughed. I respect that.

— Anonymous coward

No hosts, no ads, and apparently no shame.

— The neighbour

Turned it on. Forgot to turn it off. That's a review.

— Martin, Limerick

Not sure if BOB is a person, a mood, or a misdemeanour.

— A solicitor, probably

The only station my dog doesn't howl at. Progress.

— Dog owner, Waterford

I told my therapist about BOB. She said 'interesting'.

— Regular listener

Turn it all the way up.

Don't request a track - we'll ignore you. Got a complaint? Let us know - we'll probably read it out on-air.
