Wednesday Mornings Were Made for This — Laughter Therapy with Ranjodh Singh
Wednesday, 25 March 2026 — and Ranjodh Singh is already making the mid-week feel lighter. On Radio Haanji 1674 AM, Laughter Therapy returned this morning with its signature mix of warmth, wit, and community laughter that has made it one of the most beloved shows in the Punjabi diaspora across Australia and Singapore. With Ranjodh holding the mic, there was never any doubt the morning would end with smiles all round.
What is Laughter Therapy?
Laughter Therapy is a daily Monday to Friday morning show on Radio Haanji 1674 AM that turns the first hour of the day into a celebration of Punjabi humour, culture and community connection. The format is simple and joyful: the phone lines open, the community calls in, and the laughter begins. The show runs in two distinct segments — and each one is equally special in its own way.
The first segment is dedicated entirely to children, who call in live to share chutkule (jokes), bolian (Punjabi folk couplets), and bujaratan (riddles). There is something irreplaceable about this part of the show. Kids from across Melbourne, Sydney and Singapore dial in with a confidence and energy that never fails to light up the studio. They are the stars of Laughter Therapy — and every single morning, they deliver.
The second segment welcomes adult listeners who carry the same spirit of warmth and wit into the later part of the programme. Grown-ups from all walks of life share their own chutkule, memories, and laughter — keeping the energy high and reminding every listener that joy has no age limit. Together, the two segments create a morning ritual that the community looks forward to, day after day, week after week.
Ranjodh Singh — Today's Host
Ranjodh Singh needs very little introduction to the Radio Haanji community. As one of the station's most trusted and best-loved voices, he brings a rare combination of natural warmth, sharp timing, and genuine affection for the people who call in. Whether he is encouraging a nervous young caller to share their chutkule or drawing out the best of an adult caller's story, Ranjodh has an instinct for what makes a moment sing. Wednesday mornings are always better when he is behind the microphone.
What makes Ranjodh particularly special as a Laughter Therapy host is the ease with which he moves between the two segments. With the children, he is patient, encouraging, and full of the kind of delight that makes young callers feel like the funniest person in all of Australia. With the adults, he is equal parts host and participant — genuinely in the moment, never just going through the motions. Today's episode had all of that in abundance, and listeners will have started their Wednesday on the best possible note.
Why Laughter Therapy Matters for the Punjabi Community
For the Punjabi and Indian community spread across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Singapore and beyond, a show like Laughter Therapy does something that very few programmes even attempt. It creates a daily point of cultural return — a moment where the language, the humour, the folk traditions and the warmth of the community are celebrated openly and joyfully, every single weekday morning.
For children growing up in Australia, this matters in ways that go well beyond entertainment. Hearing their mother tongue on the radio, sharing chutkule their grandparents taught them, participating in a community ritual that stretches back generations — these experiences build the kind of cultural confidence that shapes identity. A child who grows up calling in to Laughter Therapy is a child who is proud of who they are, where they come from, and what they carry.
For parents and elders, the show is its own kind of reassurance. It is evidence that the culture is alive. That the next generation is engaging with it, laughing with it, keeping it. And that Radio Haanji 1674 AM — through Ranjodh Singh and the whole Laughter Therapy family — is doing something genuinely important every morning, one chutkule at a time.
