What is "Irritainment"?

The definition may be new, but irritating entertainment has been around a lot longer. So what makes it irritating? Well, many possible things, including subject matter, language, instrumentation and voice, and in many cases several of these elements combined. Unfortunately with radio we're limited to the audio experience, so you'll be deprived of the joys of seeing it on video, but we'll nonetheless attempt to cover the entire range here for your listening, um... pleasure! Dare we say enjoy...
