Mark (Lenny) Linehan, the award-winning presenter of the Cork RedFM breakfast show, The Red Rooster, is the latest big name to join the TalentBase team.

Mark, who also produces the multi-award-winning show, has doubled its listenership.

A graduate of Journalism from John Moore's University, and with a Masters in American Literature & Film from UCC, he has also worked with the BBC and The Irish Examiner.

He also presents his own internet TV show - ION TV - on entertainment.ie 

http://entertainment.ie/eitv/ion.asp

There, Lenny can be seen interviewing anyone from Dara O' Briain to JLS and Jedward, to DJ Shadow and Spike Jonze, to Colin Farrell, Gay Byrne, Saoirse Ronan, the Scissor Sisters and more.

Off air, Lenny works regularly as an MC for corporate clients, presenting award ceremonies and talent competitions. In 2008 he raised €5,000 for Barnardos by performing a support slot at The Marquee in front of 4,000.

He's written a number of comedy songs (his version of the Bowie classic re-named 'Spaced Idiocy' made national headlines). He has produced and presented documentaries on Bob Dylan, Rory Gallagher and John Lennon.

Awards & nominations:

• P.P.I. Radio Awardfor Best Breakfast Show two years running.
• Silver Award for Best Entertainment Inserts.
• Nominated for Regional DJ at the Meteor Music Awards.

Marty Morrissey is known the length and breadth of the land for his GAA work with RTE.

But there is plenty more to this Clareman than sport. Take, for instance, the four stars his culinary skills earned him on RTÉ One's The Restaurant. He's also presented RTÉ Radio 1's Countrywide and is slated to present further editions in the New Year.

He made his mark more recently on TV with The Committee Room, but he muses on another kind of TV show he would like to host, "a Michael Parkinson/Graham Norton-type show - bit of fun but a good decent chat too".
