HERE'S TO THE CHATTERBOXES!
Sir,-As I read The Listener letters, which I do with joy, I have noticed how little attention is paid by critics to the talks. Now as the mother of a family, which keeps several conversations going at once, I find I can listen to talks when I simply cannot concentrate on music, and so talks have been my chief entertainment since I bought my first radio licence. When one thinks back, what a splendid assortment of talks we have hadinformative, amusing, constructive! I even enjoy the "Dig for Victory" ones, though there is too much repetition, but I only endure the political chatter. Travel talks are, however, the favourites, so
give us more "West Wind" and I would like "Horseback Holiday" to go on forever. I would like, too, to commend the many good talks which get in the Children’s Hours on all stations; some of these could have been featured,at a later hour, so good have they been. So here’s to the chatterboxes of radio! May their tongues always wag.
