Backstage at the Vinyl Cafe

Auteur(s): Apostrophe Podcast Network
  • Résumé

  • Backstage at the Vinyl Cafe welcomes listeners into the warm and comforting world of the Vinyl Cafe. Each episode features stories about Canada’s favourite fictional family: Dave, Morley and the kids, narrated by the late Stuart McLean and recorded live in concert. For the first time ever, long-time producer Jess Milton shares rare, behind-the-scenes stories from her 15 years touring, travelling, laughing, and recording with her close friend Stuart.


    This is a world that is rooted in kindness, connection, and the laughter of recognition. A world that brings people together to rejoice in our ridiculousness. A world where we celebrate the small triumphs over the adversities of the everyday: like trying to find the perfect gift for someone you love, or the first Christmas without your sister; like trying to stage manage the school Christmas pageant, or trying to defrost a turkey with a hairdryer (we’ve all done that, right?).


    Join us. New episodes every Friday.

  • The Movies – Sam’s First Kiss
    Mar 7 2025

    “Of all of the theatres, in all the complexes, in all of the towns, she walks into mine.”

    This week on the pod we’re at the movies, basking in the light of the silver screen. We have Stuart McLean’s Ode to the Movies, recorded at the glorious Capitol Theatre in Port Hope; including a fascinating story about a celebrity interview (with Peter O’Toole) from Stuart’s journalism days. And we have a story about Sam and Murphy’s movie theatre adventures.

  • People from the Past - Whatever Happened to Johnny Flowers & Morley and the Century of Wind Theatre Company
    Feb 21 2025

    “In celebration of 100 years. Big Narrows, Cape Breton. Centennial Baby.”

    In our first story this week, Dave is jolted back in time by a sudden reminder of someone from long ago, someone he hadn’t thought about for years. And Jess shares the surprising reason why it took so many years to release our second story.

Great news!

If you don't know who Dave and Morley are, can you really call yourself a Canadian? right up there with Don and Ron, with Henry and Italo, with Bob and Doug!

Nice to know who will be sharing this content with us, very much looking forward to this!

I miss Stuart too…

Love every aspect of this podcast! I think I have already heard all of Stuart’s stories, I just can’t resist listening to them now. Hearing background and more of his personality is just amazing.
