Stuart McLean reads snapshots of Canadian life as written by listeners, and spins a few home-grown platters.

Stuart McLean reads 'snapshots' of Canadian life as written by listeners and spins a few home-grown platters.

When a grade six teacher, Ms Terry, from Seattle, Washington contacted the Vinyl Cafe asking listeners to send postcards to her students, to help them learn more about Canada - she had no idea what to expect. Imagine how she felt on being inundated with thousands of letters from all across Canada! So sit back as Stuart Mclean shares some of his favourites.

First broadcast by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation from 1994, the variety show Vinyl Cafe sadly lost its host, author and humourist Stuart McLean, after his death in February 2017.

First broadcast by CBC in 2006.
