Hi Manmohan. I am going to have to delay sending my donation. This is the second donation (Volume Contrast Brilliance last night) that Canada Helps would not submit my donation after I double checked for errors, as always. This is after already successfully sending 15 other donations. Sorry for the delay; needless to say, I am not impressed with them after notifying them and getting no response.

Manmohan Panesar (host)
Neil, Dancer & Dancing Labrador, that damn technology sometimes. A blessing and a curse all at the same time. Thanks for donating already! As always it's a treat hearing from you.

Greetings from Newfoundland .Manmohan where Cheryl and I are enjoying your show. I always particularly enjoy the visits to the continent of Africa. Just pushed complete donation on the page so you should be getting news of it eventually. Your commitment is greatly appreciated.

Was it 1988 is when this Island earth started?

2:41 PM, October 26th, 2025

Manmohan Panesar (host)
Shubham, maybe a bit later than that. Nodoby seems to remember exactly when this program changed from a general music program to a 'world music' program. It was kind of a gradual change.

Keep up the great work Manmohan!

Superb sounds today, Manmohan!! Back and forth from cookng Garden Lentil Soup in the kitchen and tearing down the garden and raking leaves outside. Radios are all cranked in all 3 locations. Puppy Boot Camp demands one eye on him at all times, no matter the location lol. 24/7

RobB, yes I think this is by FAR the best start for TIE. The first of the three shows is usually so slow, but not this year.

Rob Bitschofsky
Hats off to you, Manmohan! Well done. Neil, glad to hear you're breaking in a new puppy! I might be in next week, but most certainly the week after. And you can bet I'll bring some Sandanista to the party!
