The Distaff Side
MANY of the most interesting talks I hear from Auckland stations come in 1YA’s Feminine Viewpoint. A few series here are repeats, but most seem either to originate with the session or to be passed on from one of the other centres’ women’s sessions. As it is only occasionally that I manage to hear such talks, I feel that it is a pity that more of them are not broadcast again in the evenings. For, while it is desirable to cater particularly for feminine interests during the daytime, what Major Adrian Hayter has to say about South to Gibraltar, Lady Scott about The India I (continued on next page)
Knew, Betty Bernadelli about experimental psychology, and Trevor Williams about Sweden have a more general appeal than good housekeeping and advice on mothercraft. Because the texture of such talks, too, is slighter than that of the usual 1YC one, they might provide welcome interludes between symphonies on that station. In any case, Feminine Viewpoint, now handled by Cherry Raymond as if she had been there from the beginning, sets a very high standard, and treats its feminine listeners as adults interested in the world around them and in ideas, not as empty vessels to be filled with the latest episode of some heart-rending domestic drama.
