Brave New Waves was a Canadian radio program which aired on CBC Stereo, later known as CBC Radio 2, from 1984 to 2007.[1] Airing overnight five nights a week, the show profiled alternative and indie music and culture, including film, comics, literature and art.[2] The show was once described by longtime host Brent Bambury as "explaining fringe culture to a comfortable mainstream audience,"[2] and by his successor Patti Schmidt as "invented with an idea of what John Peel's show was, but without ever having heard it."[2]
