Tales and Trails from Newfoundland's Wild West
Episode 8
Tuesday, 29 September, 2026
You know a place is special when it can serve you a 10,000-year-old “popsicle”, make you laugh with a single turn of phrase, and still hit you with history that rewrites the map. Join Wander Woman Phoebe Smith on a journey through Western Newfoundland, chasing icebergs along Iceberg Alley, listening to foghorns roll in off the Atlantic, and learning how a coastline built on cod had to reinvent itself after the fishery closed. We take on big timelines and even bigger landscapes, from Viking footsteps at L’Anse Aux Meadows to the deeper indigenous story that makes this peninsula a true meeting point of worlds. In Gros Morne National Park, we kayak beneath cliffs lifted by glaciers and talk through the Tablelands, one of the rare places you can walk on Earth’s mantle without a mountaineering expedition. Also coming up:TV presenter and expert fly fisher Kastine ColemanTravel Hack: How to become an honaray Newfoundlander (that doesn't involve being screeched in...)Tablelands, lighthouses, fossils Western Newfoundland's 10 best hikes Meet grandson of Lauchie "Lockie" McDougall aka the human wind gauge, who saved countless lives through his ability to predict the windGear chat: what to pack to go in search of icebergsMinnie White – the First Lady of the Accordian – is our Wander Woman of the Month.
