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 is broadcast between 00:30 and 01:00. It consists of previously broadcast material from the show over the years.
