Here’s the official CBC Radio hotsheet description:
“Head for outer space this morning aboard Canadia: 2056, the lone Canadian government spacecraft, sent to support an American space armada fighting hostile aliens. This week, the Fleet answers a distress call from an alien ship, and Favreau tries to figure out what the Canadia can do to help the aliens. Meanwhile, Anderson and Skip are getting to know each other a little better – but the Captain has a problem with their relationship. Canadia: 2056, this morning at 11:30 (Noon in Newfoundland) on CBC Radio One. “
Listen for “King Strombo the chaste” and “Jupiter Mining Corporation!”
Is it just me or is this show getting even funnier as it goes along?
I’d really like to hear this from the beginning. I remember following the lead up to the first episode and then somehow lost track of it. Is there something equivalent to the BBC7’s play it again service for the CBC?
Sadly, there is no CBC equivalent to the “listen again” service that’s used by the BBC radio stations. No podcast either. A big shame on both. :(
There might be a CD release after the 10 episode run completes. And it may be re-broadcast at some point.
