Magazine of the Air
| J | QTATION 1YA’s Town Crier has established itself firmly now as the | most successful radio magazine Auck- | land has so far produced. Naturally, it is too much to expect évery item every week to be of first-rate quality, but, in recent issues of Town Crier, /the number of squibs has been surprisingly small. Most of the visiting celebrities seem to be caught in the Town Crier’s net, but local artists also have their pla¢e, and some unusual occupations have been brought to the surface, notably a most articulate | deep-sea diver. I like the variety of
| topics and the care with which interviewers are selected who have something in common with the interviewees, And just as pleasing is the frequent injection of unusual music, as, for instance, recently, a recording of an_ Indian "hit parade" number which managed to sound jivey and Eastern at
the same time. Such tit-bits, calypsa. facto, as it were, keep a session lively.
