Listen Here.

I don’t listen to the radio, but many people do. Lots of people listen to the radio in their cars on their way to work in the morning.

There are many radio stations. One of them is called The Hits. In Auckland, you can listen to it on 97.4 FM. 

But if I never listen to the radio, how do I know about The Hits and where to listen to it? It’s because the station advertises on billboards and posters, and in newspapers and magazines. You can see some advertisements for one particular early-morning breakfast show below.

I like the name of the show. It’s called Funny Side Up. But what does the name mean? Sunny side up is a saying in English. It means a fried egg. There are different ways to cook eggs, and one of them is to fry an egg without turning it over.

In the pictures below, going clockwise from the top left are: a fried egg, scrambled eggs, a boiled egg, and a poached egg. In the fried egg, the yellow-orange yolk looks like the sun, and the sun usually makes us happy, so I think Funny Side Up is a good name for the show.

That radio station has another show in the middle of the day. The show is called Laughter Noons. Again, I think that’s a catchy name because Laughter Noons sounds like Afternoons.
