Vinyl Cafe Stories from CBC Radio

Dave and Morley’s kids, Sam and Stephanie, spend a magical summer in Cape Breton.

Sam and Murphy spend a day at the movie theatre.

Dave takes a train trip to say goodbye to an old and dear friend: the bayman Jimmy Walker of Foggy Bottom Bay.

Dave and Morley go to a wedding and son Sam is left home alone overnight for the very first time.

Morley enthusiastically embraces her role as house sitter for the new neighbours.

Dave’s neighbour Eugene asks Sam and Murphy to follow the bees that visit his garden rosemary plant and go in search of the honeycomb.

Dave buys a sensory deprivation tank, a “float tank”, but he’s too scared to try it out – so he sends his pal Kenny Wong in to test it out for him.

Dave accidentally drops some house keys down into the gutter and he ventures deep into the storm sewer to go collect them.

Dave’s enthusiasms throw the neighbourhood into chaos, as a rare bird in his backyard starts to attract all kinds of attention.

Dave and his dad, Charlie, go fishing and net an unusual catch: the famous king cod.

Recorded live at venues across the country, each podcast contains an hour of music, laughter and stories from Canada’s favourite storyteller, the late, great Stuart McLean. Stories this season include fan favourites such as The Tank of Tranquility (where Dave indulges in some next-level impulse buying and purchases a float tank, that his pal Kenny Wong tests for him), The Car Wash (where Dave takes his neighbour Mary Turlington’s car in for cleaning), The House Next Door (where Morley enthusiastically embraces the task of looking after the neighbour’s newly-renovated house) and Rosemary Honey (where Sam and his friend Murphy go on the trail of bees for their aged neighbour, Eugene).
