Matthew Rainnie is the co-host of the CBC Prince Edward Island radio program Mainstreet. He’s been a fixture of public broadcasting in Prince Edward Island for more than 20 years, previously hosting the afternoon Island Morning program and, before that, the brilliant mind behind the Compass segment Marquee.
Lisa and I walked up to CBC Charlottetown this morning to record an interview with Matt Rainnie about our This Box is for Good project. As usual, Matt was an amiable and welcoming host.
Matt Rainnie produced this spot for CBC Prince Edward Island’s Island Morning that aired on Friday, August 10, 2018 after the 8:00 a.m. news.
When Matt Rainnie was host of Mainstreet on CBC Radio we produced a couple of summer’s worth of eclectic radio pieces, like Everything You Wanted to Know About Ice Tea in 2004.
It’s 24ºC outside as I write, the warmest it’s been all year. And so it’s a good time to revisit this CBC Mainstreet piece I recorded a decade ago in 2004 about iced tea many years ago with host Matthew Rainnie.
I sat down in the Charlottetown studios of CBC Radio One this afternoon with Matt Rainnie to chat about our June 17 Pecha Kucha in New Glasgow and the piece aired this afternoon in the final half-hour of the program.
