  • Summary

  • 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.

    Jobs - Newsboy Dave & On-Stage Defibrillator
    Nov 15 2024

    “The door to days gone by is a strange little door.”


    Today on the podcast, two stories about jobs and some of Dave’s more unusual work experiences. In the first, in a fit of nostalgia he gets a paper route; in the second story he gets a taste of life on the road with a ‘vintage’ rock band.

    “How can you deny an old man his dying wish?”


    This week’s episode is all about the powerful pull of home. We start with a story about Dave’s neighbours Eugene and Maria and their longing for their hometown of Rendi. And in our second story, an event in Dave’s Big Narrows brings back a cascade of memories.

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.
