Radio Gazette
Not unworthy child of the BBC’s Newsreel is 2ZB’s Radio Gazette, which comes over on Sunday night when the jaded listening appetite is ready to be titillated by something a little cruder, a little less pre-digested, than newsreels heard at other times of the week. For the Gazette does not undergo the studio purifying process, but is served straight over the wire, piping hot, and as acceptable as fish and chips out of the paper. It’s a case of the moving microphone writes and, having writ, moves on. Each Gazette is made up of five or so different interviews in as many (continued on next page)

Among last week’s "Gazettees’" were the caretaket of the Wellington Town Hall, Mr. Cromb and Mr. Buckett discussing the relative merits of cricket and baseball (and ending With Mr. Buckett’s heartfelt cry, "Oh, Ian, how could you?, It isn’t cricket!’’), and Dr. P. P. Lynch, who gave a few clear and concise statements on spores and bacilli with reference to tetanus. And then there were the boys from the Boys’ Institute Band who liked the band because "you got to.know a good type of lad."
