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?).

The Vinyl Cafe is a fictional world created by author Stuart McLean. The fictional stories centre around Dave, owner of a second-hand record store called…you guessed it: The Vinyl Cafe. The stories also feature Dave's wife, Morley, their two children, Sam and Stephanie, and assorted friends and neighbours. The stories are collected in books and on CD.
The Vinyl Cafe aired weekly on CBC Radio, on select public radio stations in the United States, and via podcast. The show included stories, essays and music, often recorded at live concerts from across Canada and the US. It was on the air from 1994-2016. Periodically, The Vinyl Cafe returns to its old home on CBC Radio. The Vinyl Cafe stories are featured on the new podcast, Backstage at the Vinyl Cafe.
The motto of Dave's store – and of the radio show – is "We May Not Be Big, But We're Small."
Here's the recent few episodes on Backstage at the Vinyl Cafe.
