Summer - A Letter from Camp & The Waters...

APOSTROPHE PODCAST NETWORK
About this episode

"This waterslide was the waterslide to end all waterslides”

 

We are taking a break over the summer, so in honour of our final episode of Season 1 we’ve got two Vinyl Cafe stories for you about summer. If you listen carefully you’ll hear something unusual in the first, A Letter from Camp, when Stuart inserts a personal story from his own days at his beloved summer camp. And of course, we can’t talk about summer without including the hilarious fan favourite: The Waterslide. All this and more, including a special memory from Jess of what it was like sitting backstage, stage left, and hearing Waterslide performed for the very first time.



Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
