Long a favorite among KUOW listeners, The Vinyl Cafe has also become a publishing and podcasting phenomenon, thanks to its droll host, Stuart McLean. (We think of him as the Canadian antipode to Garrison Keillor, unless it’s the other way around.) In this touring Christmas show, McLean offers new stories featuring Dave and Morley (those being the husband and wife proprietors of a used record shop, with all parts read by McLean) and holiday tunes from The Vinylettes and Reid Jamieson.
