Monday Night in Wellington
RE is something almost obsequious, it seems to me, about Wellington’s Monday night programmes. Over the week-end we take what we are given, and very nice too. But possibly there is something that arouses compassion (even in the opportunist bosom of the programme organiser) in the thought of the average listener’s philosophic acceptance of the Monday burdens, At any rate 2ZB starts the ball rolling with Answer Please, John Parkin from 2YA at 7.45, expresses his delight at being able to entertain us, Marion’ Waite tells us if we want a samba, if we want a rhumba, just drop a line,\and Briton Chadwick and the Boys proceed to play it as we name it. Then, most obliging of all, comes the Brains Trust, beating their brows to make a listener’s holiday. Last Monday we had the Auckland panel, who, with a commendable resistance to insult, proceeded to indulge a listener who requested ‘that "your worthy but footling little group discuss something controversial for a change." Whereupon they dealt competently with Man’s Cosmic Significance, Training of M.P.’s, Rendering to Caesar what is Caesar’s and a couple of other arguable topics. For those listteners who still haven’t had enough of what they want there is still 2ZB’s
Late Night Request Session.
