On today's Moncrieff Show, Seán will be joined live in studio by Conor Pope, the consumer affairs correspondent of The Irish Times, for the news and a natter. 

Pope will be offering his take on the Vatican's approval of the occasional smack for badly-behaved children, talking up calorie counts on menus, and getting to grips with Lidl's new lingerie line - a snip at €4.99 for a budget Valentine's day.

Giving the perfect Valentine's Day present is no easy feat, with personal touches and grand gestures requiring lots of planning. Giving herself (or himself, we're #OpenToAll in Newstalk, after all) a set of satin knickers from your local discount supermarket might ignite passions of a different sort. But there are worse gifts you could give...

• A hoody for your buddy

• A step-by-step guide to divorce

• Truly terrifying 3D-printed chocolates of your lover's face

• Sex-organ plush toys

• Edible beef-jerky Y-fronts
