Island Waves

The podcast Island Waves, the Voice of Prince Edward Island, first aired in 2022 and is set to launch Season 8. The Island’s popular podcast channel continues to evolve, showcasing a growing range of programming and talent.

Island Waves features an eclectic mix of music across all genres, arts and culture programming, interviews with artists, musicians, and bands, coverage of local and regional events, literary readings, spotlights on community happenings, and conversations with everyday people.

Season 8 will see familiar programs returning alongside a range of new additions, including the premiere of Fireside Theatre. The program features literary works by national and local authors, playwrights, and thespians, bringing old-time radio theatre to life in the 21st century.

With more than 400 shows available to stream 24/7, Island Waves can now be heard on podcast platforms in over 100 countries. “We’re bringing a little bit of PEI to the world,” says Melody Sainte James, host of Mid Morning Musical Melange.
