To find an Island Morning podcast!
Posted by Mitch Cormier
We are re-designing our website and so we have temporarily moved our podcasts.
If you're looking for a past Island Morning item, click here:
http://www.cbc.ca/podcasting/pastpodcasts.html?64#ref64
For example, you will find our longer interview with lung transplant patient Melissa MacPhail, Katie DeRoche from New Zealand and our story about ice damming.
There are also older items...including our now famous Summerside Concert comedy piece.
Enjoy!
