Radio, Talkback

With some listeners there seems to be an acceptance that because a certain presenter, such as John McDonald on Morning talkback, gives out a PERSONAL opinion of a particular issue that the opinion expressed is Gospel. The presenters then proceed to barely acknowledge the views of callers who oppose that opinion and give time to those callers who do agree and approve of the presenter's opinion.

It was rumoured that at the start of the Covid epidemic, that the Government paid an enormous sum to media outlets to actively promote anti Covid vaccinations and very circumspectly promote official dogma. I am not influenced by these talk back presenters, but some might be. Most presenters are extremely biased over many important issues and pass on this bias to listeners. The format of afternoon talk back with Simon and James is better because they discuss an issue and their opinions often differ, so undecided listeners can perhaps hear both sides of an issue, and also the afternoon programme is more relaxed and the presenters more personable.

Some presenters are notorious for cutting off callers who disagree with them thus only the braver callers ring in to offer a differing opinion to that of the show host. ALSO please please bring back Tony Amos for Saturday's 'In My Day" programme which I listen to whilst toiling in Gym and later on in bed before nodding off. Miles Davis would be excellent as well. And no I don't spend hours listening solely to radio talk back, but it is background whilst doing other things. Often gets switched in annoyance. Radio is good if only used to inform of a situation or particular issue, and invite callers to ring with talkback, but it is just too easy for some listeners to be swayed by personal opinions of the presenters. I do however really enjoy the catchy advert for The Tyre General, must be the same agency which does the Brakes advert.
Take care folks and keep warm.......

Kia Ora all!

If you're in need of childcare, look no further!

I have in depth, varied and comprehensive background in working with children and babysitting, and enjoy creating fun and safe environments for children to learn, play and have fun in! I'm currently a swim teacher with a knack for teaching under 5's and can provide regular and irregular care.

I can do most times in the day, including day care, evening care and daily adventures! Multitasking is the name of the game and I have it down pat, so multiple kids are no issue at all.

With school holidays coming up, I'm more than happy to arrange activities and fun things to do either at your home or around Christchurch. I'm also happy to facilitate some extra learning and educational activities as well!

I have my full drivers licence and a comprehensive first aid certificate, plus have passed the council background checks.

Feel free to contact me with any questions or if you'd like to know more!
