Niagara Falls

APOSTROPHE PODCAST NETWORK
About this episode

“He was eye level with the falls…”

 

This week on the show, something different. We’re playing one of Stuart McLean’s most requested stories and you might be surprised to hear it is not a Dave and Morley story. This week: the amazing and moving story of Roger Woodward, the boy who went over Niagara Falls. We play new music (that’s right – music!) by Danny Michel that is inspired by this Niagara story and share Jess and Danny’s conversation about music, waterfalls, life on tour with the Vinyl Cafe (and lots more in between!) 



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