Fun Friday - 13 March 2026 - Yash and Ranjodh Singh Turn Friday the 13th Into the Best Morning of the Week on Radio Haanji

Friday the 13th has a reputation. Yash and Ranjodh Singh spent this morning dismantling it, one caller at a time.

Fun Friday on Radio Haanji 1674 AM does not really care what the calendar says. It shows up every Friday regardless — funny stories, live calls, the kind of banter between two hosts who genuinely enjoy each other's company — and today was no different. If anything, the date gave the morning an extra edge. Bad luck is hard to believe in when you are laughing.

Friday the 13th? Yash and Ranjodh Singh had other plans

There is a version of this show that could have leaned into the superstition, milked it for easy material, made the whole hour about the date. That is not how Yash and Ranjodh Singh work. They brought what they always bring — themselves, a phone line and a community that knows what to do with both.

What makes Fun Friday actually work is not the format. Plenty of shows have caller segments and funny stories. What this show has is two hosts whose chemistry is not performed. Yash and Ranjodh Singh riff off each other the way people do when they are not thinking about how it sounds, and that looseness is exactly what gives the show its texture. Listeners pick up on it immediately. You can tell when people on air are genuinely enjoying themselves, and when they are going through motions. This is the former.

Friday the 13th or not, the morning felt like it always does on this show — slightly chaotic, warm, and very hard to switch off.

Callers, stories and the laughter you didn't know you needed

The caller segment is where Fun Friday gets interesting every week. People ring in from across Melbourne's Punjabi and Indian community with stories from their actual lives — things that happened at work, at home, at the shops, that somehow became funnier in the retelling than they were in the moment. Nobody scripts these. The laughs are real because the situations are real.

There is something specific about community radio caller segments that you do not get anywhere else. The people who call in are not trying to be performers. They are just sharing something they thought was funny, or something that embarrassed them, or something that happened to their neighbour. Yash and Ranjodh Singh know how to hold that space — they react honestly, they push the story further when it wants to go there, and they let it breathe when it doesn't.

For listeners who follow Radio Haanji's full range of programming — the political analysis of Indian Updates, the geopolitical depth of The Insight Report — Fun Friday is the counterweight. The week asks a lot of people. This show asks only one thing: sit back and laugh. Visit haanji.com.au/podcast to explore the full lineup.

Why Fun Friday has stuck around

The show's premise is not complicated. Make people laugh on a Friday morning. Help them go into the weekend feeling lighter than they felt going into the hour. That is it.
