News that Marcella Zemanek is stepping away from Charlie Teo’s charity after a constant affiliation since her broadcaster husband’s death is a milestone. (A beauty for brains, 3/10). Hard to believe that the airways have survived without Stan Zemanek for 13 years. A wonderfully long line of Sydney-siders found a daily on-air forum to vent politically incorrect fury that was better than any psychiatrist’s couch. The host’s humour and feigned indignation stirred up courageous outbursts from the faint-hearted caller, who was often ill-equipped to match his rapier wit. I hope Marcella finds solace in knowing that we miss Stan too. Alan Sexton, North Parramatta. 5Oct2020.
