Our week of stewardship on Micou's Island
For a week in August, my family served as stewards on Micou's Island. It's a 22-acre jewel in St. Margaret's Bay -- one of the few islands in the bay that's not in private hands.
Being stewards meant living in the 1850s house on the island (cold running water, composting toilet, wood-fired cook stove), greeting visitors, and making sure people respected the island environment.
I also brought along a broadcast-quality recorder and made a radio documentary about our experiences -- which turned out to be a lot more eventful than we ever would have expected.
The documentary aired in Nova Scotia on the CBC Radio One program Mainstreet. You can listen to it here in mp3 format.

That was excellent Phil. I've gotten so used to multimedia that I had forgotten the magic that you can find in a radio doumentary.
You were able to capture a perspective that is typically lost in the world of high definition.
Great job!
I appreciate the comment. Radio is such an intimate medium. I'm glad the piece worked for you.
