Three-Dimensional
STATION 1YA’s Feminine Viewpoint continues to make a forthright appeal to the kind of woman who prefers Elizabeth Bowen to Anne Duffield. With the exception of MHester’s Diary, as sOapy an opera as one could hear anywhere, the programmes call for close listening, and they give, in addition to good new features» the opportunity for catching up on some of the better BBC presentations we may earlier ~have missed. One of the~-most interesting series, which might be repeated for evening listeners, is "Background to the News," provided regularly by the Auckland University Geography. Department. These brief talks, on places mentioned in the newspapers, are not just text-book surveys, but graphic descriptions which add a third dimension to the news-items. It is clear that the speakers are talking of places they know -, ~
at first-hand, which enables them to) give colour and perspective by anecdote and exact detail. Ron Lister’s talk on Singapore last week was a case in point. Listeners heard no Fitzpatrick traveltalk, but a clear verbal sketch of the city, with an assessment of its importance and history, and were given some sense of its heat, its teeming population and its distinctive atmosphere.
