OVER THE AIR

[By ARIELJ Question: What is wrong with broadcast talks? Answer: They're dulJ; quite dull. Proof: Listen to them. Then ask yourself why they are dull. If you look through the programmed talks from Christchurch and Wellington for this last week, *»yoii will notice that the titles are about as bright as rice pudding is bright. Helpful Advice for the Home .... Books, grave and gay . . . . A wee bit of Scots .... Health and beauty culture .... For the man on the land . . . . Glimpses at Other Countries .... For the Home Gardener .... A Food Expert on Diet .... Scotland Yard Personalities .... Home Science .... A Journalist Looks at Holland .... Your Family .... Wales, the Land of St. David. You see where the trouble lies? Out of 13 talks, six are on the subject of home science, four are geography lessons, one bears the uninviting title of "books, grave and gay," one is gossip, and one is agricultural.

Now the truth of the matter is that very few people in New Zealand care two hoots about home science. There is an old superstitition held by some people that this is not so, but T think it is pretty generally admitted that the three C's—Cooking, Clothes, Complexion —do not compare favourably with other civilised countries. On the other hand, everybody in New Zealand se-tfus filled with desire to tell somebody else something he has read in books about geography or history. Give them a microphone and a little free air and your broadcast talkers make one swift dash to the microphone and spout miserably and dismally about Queen Anne, or Mary Queen of Scots, or the Dead Sea, or Highways and Byways in Sunny Spain. I am sorry to have to say that the fact that these broadcasts are allowed at all is to some extent mv fault. Some months ago I began to (metaphorically) stamp my feet and demand broadcasts of an educational nature. "Ah!" said the authorities, wisely. "There's something in what he says." So they rushed round and got'hold of a few people who had read a few books. Then they gave them the air. The result was disastrous. Spinoza divides knowledge into four varieties. There is hearsay knowledge, vague empirical knowledge, knowledge reached by reasoning, and knowledge that comes by immediate deduction and direct perception. Most of the talks we hear over the air belong to the first category. A little is of the second variety, and a precious small quantity reaches us of the third and fourth sorts. Time after time I switch on to some talk or other hoping! . . . . The voices must be rather like those instructional prolations that assailed Joan of Arc. They tell me how I should sow grass seed. They tell me how I should cook vegetables. They tell me about the Prince of Monaco or Crippen . . . . And like Joan of Arc, when the voices have finished I feel all of a flutter. But Joan of Arc's voices must have been exciting. These are dull. They quote authorities. Because they have read something somewhere, they insist that what they have spouted or mouthed forth must be true. Your New Zealand lecturer is a firm believer in the written word.

To my own knowledge there are only three or four people who broadcast talks in New Zealand and have the courage to speculate. Three People J. S. Barton, S.M., of Wellington, is one. The last time I heard him I listened through a welter of static. He presented the problem of the sons of Martha and the sons of Mary, digressions on a biblical theme. Mr Barton is read, and yet he does not hurl his authorities over the air. He has a bland and pleasant philosophy. But he does not quote everything he has ever heard of to prove his points. He speculates in a kindly fashion and has a brand of humour peculiarly his own, decidedlv un-rnagis-terial. The microphone treats him a little unfairly by accentuating his sibilants; this may easily be overcome by judicious\panel controlling. Then there is D'Arcv Cresswell. He talks from the Auskland station, and then seldom. His subject is not extraordinarily appealing, being mainly concerned with the historical aspects of verse, but he is worth listening to, because he does not tell his listeners what he has read, but what he has deduced. This is in itself such a rare phenomenon that I make the suggestion that any further talks he may give be relayed to other stations.

The 3YA political commentator, Mr Leicester Webb, finds himself in this small gallery. Listen to him over the air. Figures and statistics pour out together with macabre stori* from Japan or Java and hints about the sinister doings of War Lords and armament manufacturers. And there is a very authentic touch about it all. When the bland and casual voice of Mr Webb tells us about the recent secret meetings between Chung Ling Soo and Ma Huang, it manages to convey the impression that its listeners are being let into very real and vital secrets. And above all his talks are not dull. When the. average old woman (male or female), the pulpit orator of some narrow parish, commences to talk about the pepper industry in Cayenne, with one accord hundreds of knobs are given one convulsive twist. But not so when Leicester Webb takes the air. What Now? There may be others who speculate. There may be others who have the courage to talk without quotations. And as time goes on it is reasonable to suppose that this small number may be increased. The speakers I have mentioned possess common qualities, all necessary to a broadcast talker. They are widely travelled, they are experts at their particular subjects. Mr Barton has a knowledge of human nature, D'Arcy Creswell is a poet, Leicester Webb knows his political onions. And each of them has the sense not to try and "educate" people. When I advocate talks of educational value I do not suggest that what is wanted is history or geography unvarnished and of primary school calibre. What is needed is a

PROGRAMMES AND COMMENT

creation in radio's terms of the connexion between the past and the present, ourselves and the crimes and magnificences of our ancestors. If you will look once again at the list of talks at the upper end of this column you will note that by themselves they are for the most part useless. They have no beginning and no end, no link with the past or with the future, they are about as significant as a pod without its pea. The solution is naluniPy "nitc simple. Appoint a director el l;i !;s. Insist that broadcasters not only know their subjects—biH h;ive thought about them. Lei hj, \.i> ,c----membered that there is ai,, Jy n good plain cookery book in niai,y ; : New Zealand household. It is far easier to produce a dinner with the aid of a cookery book than to listen to the self-same recipes over the air. And this applies to history and geography. There are dozens of different ways of getting education, very few indeed of getting entertaining education or speculative education.

A competent director of talks will be able to gild the pill of education, he will be able to sweep away the intolerable blight of weariness that has crept over broadcast lectures and lecturers. With suave hand he will repel the swarms of dull people who talk dully over the air. And he will seek for fresh blood in broadcasting. The metaphors are well and truly mixed in that last paragraph, but you see what I mean! BROADCASTING TODAY'S PROGRAMMES 31' A.
