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.
It may be my favourite piece of radio of all those I’ve ever produced, and it’s clear that I was channeling both Ann Thurlow and the late, great Marg Meikle, my radio mentors.
Matthew was, and remains, one of the easiest people to do a back-and-forth on the radio with: he’s inveterately curious and has an appreciation for the quirk. I had so much fun doing the research for this piece.
So pour yourself a tall glass of iced tea, sweetened or not as your preference dictates, and have a listen…
(In September of 2004 I went on to do the piece in radio syndication, deliverying a variation of what I did with Matt with 12 CBC radio hosts across the country in the course of a single afternoon; it was both facsinating and mind-numbing).

Hi. I was his studio director for a couple of years. I know this music very well. I know it from front to back as I heard it at the top of the show every day, and I know it back-timed so that the musical period / final chord ended exactly at the right time at the end of the show. Never got tired of hearing it. It was the right tone, tempo and texture for the time of day, the time of Canada and for Peter. Always admired this work. Congrats.
