Radio Talks
HERE seems to be a movement afoot at the moment to educate New Zealanders on the subject of their own country. From Christchurch stations in one week we have had talks on Pioneer Women, Athletics in Early Canterbury, Lyttelton Harbour, New Zealand Birds, and Early New Zealand Newspapers. Whether or not this is a deliberate attempt to establish some sort of historical ‘tradition it ‘seems to me to be a ~ 4
good thing. This generation of New Zealanders are on the whole, I think, ignorant of their own country-ignorant of what it has been and what it might be, and complacent about it as it is. I am not suggesting that a series of radio talks are going to make even the slightest difference: but the speakers I have heard have delivered their information in a palatable form and all managed to convey some of the interest which they themselves obviously took in their subjects. The radio talk is a difficult thing to handle, and its efficiency depends on many different elements-including that unknown and wunséen quantity, . the listener.
