What's This?
This is an archive of episodes, audio clips, graphics and documents collected during my five years of maintaining a web site for the radio program The Great Eastern. Every episode of the program is available for download.
The Great Eastern — Newfoundland’s Cultural Magazine, started as an hour-long summer replacement on CBC Radio in 1994 and since 1996 was a half-hour program on the regular Saturday morning schedule. Despite critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base, the CBC effectively cancelled the show after the 1998-99 season.
The Great Eastern was created and written by Mack Furlong, Ed Riche and Steve Palmer, and produced by Glen Tilley. [PHOTO]
