'''''The Essential Series''''' is a weekly radio show broadcast on [[Republic of Ireland|Irish]] radio station [[Today FM]]. Broadcast every Sunday between 19:00 and 20:00, each show is dedicated to a different musician or band and effectively serves as a tribute to their career, with songs from their discography interspersed with commentary from the presenter about the said band or musician. The show has no regular presenter and varies from [[Tony Fenton]] to [[Ann Gleeson]], the most recent inductee into the show's list of hosts. She presented a special dedicated to [[Guns N' Roses]] on 23 November 2008. Some bands, such as [[The Beatles]] and [[U2]], have featured twice.
