Flirt FM 101.3 celebrates 275th broadcast of Trivia Matters

January 27, 2020 By SIN Staff

Trivia Matters is an entertaining live radio show on Flirt FM 101.3 featuring fun topics, witty chat and great music. 

Every Friday afternoon at 2:00pm presenter Brian Currie and his studio guests wrestle with quirky stories ranging from a nine–year–old boy attending university to jellybean factory workers eating into the profits.  

Listeners are encouraged to text the studio with their Pet Peeves at 2:30pm. Brian said “Often it is the smallest things that really get on peoples’ nerves. Hopefully this segment brings our listeners a little relief!” Recent Pet Peeves include poor internet coverage, dodgy roommates and queue jumping. 

The show also features regular segments such as Words of Wisdom and a Quick Quiz.  

Trivia Matters has aired every Friday afternoon on Flirt FM since 27 September 2011 and will be broadcasting its 275th show shortly. 

Trivia Matters is produced and presented by Brian Currie. Recent guests include Oxford native Stan Quarterman, mature student Jo Hatfield, published author Aoife Burke, night owl Dave Logue and happy hoarder Heather Hinchon-Quinn. 

Trivia Matters has been voted “Best Magazine Show on Flirt FM” and more recently received a Silver Achievement Award from CRAOL – The Community Radio Forum of Ireland. 

The CRAOL award winning clip featured Trivia Matters guests modestly offering tips and suggestions to NUI Galway President Professor Ciarán Ó hÓgartaigh.  You can listen to the clip on audiomack.com. Just enter Trivia Matters with Brian Currie into the search box. 

Be sure to tune in to Trivia Matters every Friday afternoon at 2pm on Flirt FM Radio 101.3 or listen live online at www.flirtfm.ie.  

You can text the studio with your Pet Peeve or any other comments on 083–433-1013 or email the show on studio@flirtfm.ie. You can also follow Trivia Matters on Facebook and Twitter. 

If a story sounds trivial to you then it matters to the Trivia Matters team!
