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?). Join us. New episodes every Friday. www.vinylcafe.com Hosted on Acast.

This episode, however, is a little different. It's about an object. Specifically, the goalie mask. Before goalie masks were widely accepted, one hall of fame goalie endured over 400 stitches to the head and neck over the course of his career.  Some of the early objections to goalie masks included: “Masks make goalies complacent.” “Masks eliminate fear in goalies – the fear that drives them to play well.” “A real man wouldn’t hide his face from his opponents.”   We hope you enjoy \"Rejecting the Goalie Mask.\"  Ad-free listening is here! Listen to the pod ad-free and early, PLUS a whole bunch of other goodies – like virtual parties, Q&As, listener shout-outs & more. Subscribe here:  apostrophe.supercast.com Hosted on Acast.
