"Laughter, Holding Both Its Sides"
Life without humour is like a sponge cake without rising--and just as unpalatable. It is wonderful to laugh, and feel bad temper and worry fading miraculously away. Listeners to the ZB stations get plenty of opportunity for laughter, with such universal favourites as Billy Bennett, Clapham and Dwyer, Burns and Allen, Eddie Cantor, Horace Kenny, the Hulberts, Cecily Courtneidge, Stanley Holloway, Gert and Daisy, Sandy Powell, John Tilley and Ronald Frankau. There are special sessions, such as "Cuckoo Session" at 4ZB, " Funfare" at 3ZB, and "Thirty Minutes of Humour" at 2ZB. From 6 a.m. to midnight, seven days a week, something in the ZB programmes will make you grin. Take time off from household cares to laugh, and you’ll feel carefree while you work. These sessions are aimed straight at your sense of humour, and are full of the kind of funny stories everyone appreciates.
