06 May - Today Updates - Victoria Budget & RBA Hike

Global headlines often feel distant, but today's news affects our households and our community directly. In this episode of Today Updates on Radio Haanji 1674 AM, host Gautam Kapil breaks down the stories you need to know.

06 May - Laughter Therapy - Morning Laughs, Riddles & Battery Drama - Preetinder Grewal & Ranjodh Singh

If your morning needs a reset, today's Laughter Therapy on Radio Haanji 1674 AM is exactly what the doctor ordered — and yes, the dentist too. Hosts Ranjodh Singh and Preetinder Grewal open the 7:00 AM lines to the most entertaining callers in Melbourne: the children of the Punjabi and Indian community, armed with their best jokes and absolutely zero stage fright.
oday's episode is a masterclass in kid-led comedy. Yuvraj delivers a battery joke so logically airtight it is impossible to argue with. Mannat explains why a dentist pulled the wrong tooth — something about a worm doing reconnaissance on the lower teeth. And Teg brings the saga of a three-haired woman and a hair salon that ends in the only way it possibly could. Add in Shreya and Ashish chatting about morning tea and milk before performing their rhymes, Fateh stumping the studio with a riddle about air, and Taveen and Ashleen's mind-bending fingers-and-thumbs riddle that sounds like a large family but isn't, and you have a morning lineup that would make any comedian jealous.
Ranjodh and Preetinder close the show with warm messages and well-wishes from listeners across Punjab and Australia — a reminder that Radio Haanji is not just a station, it is a community. Subscribe, share with someone who needs a better morning, and tune in at 7:00 AM on 1674 AM or stream any time on Spotify.

The episode wraps with a wave of "Sat Sri Akal" messages from listeners across Australia and India, a reminder of just how far the Radio Haanji family stretches. This is radio at its warmest — community voices, cultural pride, and children keeping the Punjabi language alive one riddle, one joke, and one nursery rhyme at a time.
