Did this island earth start in 1988?

2:47 PM, February 9th, 2025

Rob Bitschofsky (host)
I don't know for sure, but I can tell you that there's a team of This Island Earthers out there who have been researching that very question, and if they ever find the elusive answer, I'll announce it here!

2:49 PM, February 9th, 2025

Shubham
I like to know what year it first started Rob

2:51 PM, February 9th, 2025

Rob Bitschofsky (host)
We all would, but it seems like nobody knows exactly.

2:53 PM, February 9th, 2025

N & DL
I bet Junior could answer that question definitively. After all.......he is Father Time lol

2:55 PM, February 9th, 2025

Shubham
What’s play now

2:55 PM, February 9th, 2025

Rob Bitschofsky (host)
That was Is! No! by Deep Rumba, and apologies to all for cutting it off!

3:00 PM, February 9th, 2025

Rob Bitschofsky (host)
And yeah, N&DL: we've been around forever, but Junior's show has probably been around even longer!

3:01 PM, February 9th, 2025

Neil & Drake
Neil posted me a picture of Junie, Rob. He looks exactly like Drake at 3 years !! There are not a lot of Black Labradors that are "lanky" physically. In fact, I told Neil that we had a kitchen floor identical to that photo and Drake used to lie in the sunbeam on the floor across from the kitchen window just like Junie in his photo. Honestly, it was uncanny !!!

3:01 PM, February 9th, 2025

Rob Bitschofsky (host)
The two Neils and their two identical dogs! Love it!

3:02 PM, February 9th, 2025

Rob Bitschofsky (host)
...just went to look at Junie. Good-looking dog!

3:03 PM, February 9th, 2025

D&D
Reggae In The Fields is 48 years this year. Not sure either about Island Earth. Considering this show is so "otherworldly", it may have alien origins making it much, much older than all of us combined lmao.

3:05 PM, February 9th, 2025

N & DL
I just looked at my picture of Drake walking along the steam train tracks headed to Wakefield which I took near our dock on the Gatineau River when he was 3 years old. Yup.........twins, man !!

3:08 PM, February 9th, 2025

Rob Bitschofsky (host)
D&D: Alien origins could be true. Perhaps the show landed here from another dimension in time. Slipped through sideways!

3:10 PM, February 9th, 2025

Rob Bitschofsky (host)
N&DL: Drake and Junie are like the unofficial mascots of the show...

3:10 PM, February 9th, 2025

Neil & DL
I love it !!

3:52 PM, February 9th, 2025

Neil & DL
Absolutely outstanding show today, Rob !! Thank you for the delightful, ear tickling curation ! The world NEEDS more "This Island Earth" !!!
