This Island Earth
Sunday June 26th, 2022 with Manmohan Panesar
First time on-air and IN the studio since the first lockdown!!

Feeling both excited and very nervous to be back in the studio after a long hiatus dating back to the beginning of the first lockdown. Thanks to my collaborators Neil Bakshi, Rob Bitchofsky, and Peter B for keeping the energy going with their outstanding programming produced from home. We have a mix of old and new with no particular theme for today's program. Enjoy!

Found your station while visiting Ottawa last week from the DC area on the states. Good stuff! Great show. Good to hear other free form stations around. WFMU is another free form station out of Jersey City, New Jersey in the states. Cheers, Dave

The return of This Island Earth live! It’s great to have you back on, Manmohan. And great that we’re happening live once again!

RobB! Indeed, it's like a rebirth. Nothing like the energy of going live, mistakes and all! Great seeing you and Neil in-person today.

i do not like weird Brazilian, or Green Eggs and Ham. HA! opposite. But think i missed it due dumpster diving to install a washing machine. Unless you mean Sao Paulo Underground. Counts on both counts! On now
