Sunday with Miriam (previously Miriam Meets...) is an Irish radio talk show. The programme began initially in July 2009, as a summer filler, presented by Prime Time and Saturday Night with Miriam presenter Miriam O'Callaghan. The show is broadcast on a Sunday morning.
In August 2009, it was announced the programme will have a permanent slot on a Sunday morning, just before The Marian Finucane Show.{{cite web|url=http://www.rte.ie/radio/newseason/rte_radio_new_season2009.pdf |title=RTÉ Radio new season 2009 |publisher=RTÉ Radio |accessdate=2009-08-17 }}{{dead link|date=June 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}{{cite news|url=http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2009/0817/breaking61.htm|title=O'Callaghan back on Sunday morning|date=17 August 2009|newspaper=The Irish Times|accessdate=2009-08-17}} The programme is sponsored by Irish Ferries.{{Cite web|title=Sunday with Miriam|url=https://www.rte.ie/radio1/sunday-with-miriam/|access-date=2020-09-18|website=Sunday with Miriam}}
History
Miriam Meets.. originally began an eight-week run, to fill in for Eamon Dunphy's Conversations with Eamon Dunphy, while he had summer holidays.{{cite news|url=http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2009/0610/1224248537713.html|title=No babies or pressure to look good makes radio right for Miriam|author=RONAN McGREEVY|date=10 June 2009|newspaper=The Irish Times|accessdate=2009-06-22}} Dunphy later announced he would cease presenting the programme.{{cite news|url=http://www.independent.ie/national-news/dunphy-wraps-up-conversations-to-focus-on-football-1808988.html|title=Dunphy wraps up 'Conversations' to focus on football|author=Grainne Cunningham|date=7 July 2009|newspaper=The Irish Independent|accessdate=2009-07-07}} RTÉ confirmed in August 2009, that the programme would move to a permanent home on Sunday's at 10.00.
Format
The programme has similarities to Dunphy's programme, but features two guests compared to one.{{cite web|title=Airtricity To Sponsor Miriam Meets...

Like Conversations with Eamon Dunphy, the guests are asked to request three pieces of music.{{cite web|url=http://www.rte.ie/radio1/miriammeets/|title=Miriam Meets... |website=RTÉ|accessdate=2009-08-17}}
