if you like The Prairie Home Companion, you'd probably like The Vinyl Cafe
http://www.cbc.ca/vinylcafe/home.php
the shows are available to listen to online or as a podcast
it's a sort of musical variety show, the host Stuart McLean often takes the show on the road and incorporates local stories and musicians into the performance
the central theme of the show are The Vinyl Cafe stories about Dave, owner of the second hand record store. The stories also feature Dave's wife, Morley, their two children, Sam and Stephanie, and assorted friends and neighbours.
The motto of Dave's store - and of the radio show - is "We May Not Be Big, But We're Small".
the stories are also collected in book form or on CD
