Have you missed visiting The Vinyl Cafe? The show felt like home to so many Canadians.

Jess Milton, long term producer of that show and one of Stuart McLean’s best friends, opens up about her new podcast Backstage at the Vinyl Cafe. She talks about why she wanted to return to that place, her nervousness at being a host and what it is that brings us together all over this disparate country.

We also speak to Alaina Urquhart and Ash Kelley from the hit true crime podcast Morbid about their latest grisly show Frozen Head. They tell us about why true crime skews towards female audiences and why some people choose cryogenics to cheat death.

Plus, we’ll hear the latest season of The Heart and about a groundbreaking podcast from Amnesty International.

Podcasts featured this week: Backstage at the Vinyl Cafe, Rights Back At You, The Heart, Frozen Head
