Questions Answered
IS Fancy Free series featured in the 2YA Women’s Session on Tuesdays is an excellent device for bridging the gaps between ordinary listener and persons interviewed. The general idea of the ordinary radio interview is, I suppose, to widen our horizons by introducing us to interesting people doing interesting things, which occasionally has the regrettable effect of making our own four walls look narrower and narrower. But in Fancy Free we have our interesting people answering questions on which we are equally qualified to speak, questions such as "What are your pet aversions?" or "If you could live your life over again, what would you choose to
do?" To listeners it provides good entertainment and a chance for some parallel self-questioning which may prove instructive, the interviewed (a nicely-varied lot) take it in good part, and the compére must be grateful for a type of interview that keeps her client on the rails, no matter what.
