I know have a favourite thing to do on my way into work Mondays morning’s… listening to the most recent podcast from CBC’s Vinyl Cafe as read by Stuart McLean. “The Vinyl Cafe stories are about Dave… Dave's wife, Morley, their two children, Sam and Stephanie, and assorted friends and neighbours.”
I used to listen to this show on CBC radio all the time. The way that Stuart McLean reads these stories are as charming and as much a part of the experience as the stories themselves. You can’t help but feel like you’ve known the characters your whole life.
With the TV/radio programming virtually always set to appease the wee lads, it’s been a long time (probably years) since I’ve been able to tune in. Hooray for the podcasts!
