Keep doing what you’re doing. Also I like the bloopers. Please post more bloopers.
I love the podcast! Last season I noticed something that this season seems even more apparent. There is a number of Vinyl Cafe stories in the catalog so it’s disappointing that we are already hearing them repeated on the podcast. Please limit repeats and dig deeper into the back catalog.
Thank you so much for continuing the Vinyl Cafe. It has played such an integral part of our family over the years, it is a special gift to add to the collection.
while i dont get why its grouped in social sciences....not the right category, and i do very much wish the clips of the vinyl cafe included stuarts music choices and live performances of the bands that played on his wonderful radio show, i dont think there is a more perfect tribute to stuart than this lovingly curated snips of the shows over the years. listen to it for heavens sakes.
What a beautiful slice of goodness and wit in this time. It’s funny, clever and kind.
