The Podge and Rodge Show is a talk show, broadcast and produced by RTÉ. For the first three seasons Podge and Rodge were joined by Lucy Kennedy as a co-host but for the first half of the fourth season they were joined by guest hosts including Michelle Heaton, after Kennedy took insult to being called "every name under the sun from bisto to an ugly Gráinne Seoige".[1] Following a mid-season hiatus, Caroline Morahan took on the role of permanent co-host in February 2009.[2] The programme airs every Monday and Tuesday at 22:50 on RTÉ Two from February to April and from October to December with a hiatus during the summer months.[3] The series came to an end on 27 April 2010, with Kennedy appearing as a guest on the final episode of the fifth series.
The show was relaunched in October 2018 with host Doireann Garrihy, but cancelled in March 2019.[4]
