In this episode we are previewing the upcoming national Record Store Day with Mike Marchetti, owner of Black Dog Vinyl Cafe in Plainfield IL.  We discuss the history of Record Store Day, the upcmoing RSD releases and a little background of Mike's great record store/music venue., Black Dog Vinyl Cafe.

Wilson Santos has been thinking about opening a French fry-centric restaurant for years. “This concept is like decades in the making,” Santos said. “To be honest, I went to Amsterdam, the first trip was in 1994. I was doing a study abroad program in England and on the weekends, I would try to take a trip around Europe. And I just took a trip with some friends that I met in England, went to Amsterdam and I saw these fries.” The fry shops became a common snack for Santos during his visits. “I just thought, ‘Why don't we have this in the U.S.?'” Santos said. He got his first chance to try the concept when his first restaurant concept, Vinyl Arts Bar was undergoing a rebranding during COVID. Vinyl Cafe served as Santos interpretation of an Amsterdam coffee bar, but instead of marijuana, he offered hemp. He also offered fries. “So I put about six different sauces on the menu, I did the cone fries, and then you have the hemp,” Santis said. “Now people are smoking hemp They're eating the fries and they get the whole Amsterdam experience.” Santos sold the space about six months later. That was in 2020. In March, he was finally able to open The Fry Shoppe at 489 N. Semoran Blvd. “We're a few blocks up from Full Sail University — just light up from University Boulevard to Aloma (Avenue) so we're right on the corner of Semoran Boulevard and Aloma (Avenue) — really high-traffic intersection for us,” Santos said. The business owner truly believes in the concept and is taking a big gamble on himself to get The Fry Shoppe up and running. “I was looking for investors for a long time, I had presentations and meetings and nobody wanted to invest. Nobody believed in it. You know, people said I was asking too much,” Santos said. “I'm glad I didn't get any investors at the end of the day. It would have been a mistake. So things happen for a reason. I ended up — I couldn't get funding for it and I didn't have the money. I just — I'm a risk taker, I sold my house.” Santos is now renting a place near his restaurant. He believes the concept is ripe for a franchise. “I'm not gonna stop until we have multiple locations. I'm persistent,” Santos said. He believes The Fry Shoppe could find itself in mall food courts, food halls, or at airports. However, he needs to get this original location firing on all cylinders first. I know that in the next month, we'll be at 100%. We have to add delivery — so we have to add DoorDash UberEATS are the two big ones. We haven't even marketed heavily to the student population right down the street at Full Sail They have over 20,000 students. This is affordable food for students,” said. On the latest episode of Florida Foodie, Santos talked more about his trips to Amsterdam that inspired his restaurant. He also gives Candace Campos a rundown on his most popular sauces.

Tara McGuire is a mother, a steep advocate for change in the fight against overdoses, a former broadcaster, and a powerfully potent writer. Her book “Holden After and Before," gives us an honest insight into her grief, carried from the loss of her son, Holden to the opioid crisis, which Tara points out is better viewed as what it truly is: an overdose crisis. "He died because he made a mistake that day,” she says with heavy compassion for her own loss, and her son's loss, too, "He wasn't trying to die." Holden's overdose at 21 is not an isolated event.  Over 35,000 families know their version of her pain from the last five years alone. That's 21 deaths a day. And while the "cause of death," might be marked on paper with the same words, the Cause of Life and the person behind it only exists once. We're all one of one. That's the love part of the loss. That's the crisis of One in many. Tara has turned that love for her son into proactive activism. She is now invited to speak to judges with power to change the course of treatment made available to people struggling. In this episode, we talk about the solutions—the life-saving solutions our youth deserve.  And Tara drops bars in one of the most special elements of this episode. Through her prose and poetics Tara's gives voice to hope. At the top of Segment 2, we hear her read an excerpt and go into her world as she breathes in the life of her son .  All of this takes us to the key emotion driving impactful change: compassion.

We dip into the archives of Stuart McLean's Vinyl Cafe to bring you a tale about Dave and Morley's trip to the cottage.

Recorded live at venues across the country, each podcast contains an hour of music, laughter and stories from Canada's favourite storyteller, the late, great Stuart McLean. Stories this season include fan favourites such as The Tank of Tranquility (where Dave indulges in some next-level impulse buying and purchases a float tank, that his pal Kenny Wong tests for him), The Car Wash (where Dave takes his neighbour Mary Turlington's car in for cleaning), The House Next Door (where Morley enthusiastically embraces the task of looking after the neighbour's newly-renovated house) and Rosemary Honey (where Sam and his friend Murphy go on the trail of bees for their aged neighbour, Eugene).

Act I showcases music made in, and played in Grey and Bruce counties with some feature performances from musicians she has met at local open mics, Act II has an interview with Elaine Murray of BarrieFolk and explores the music scene in the Barrie area, and Act III offers a bit of a tribute to Stuart McLean and the Vinyl Cafe.

An early ep this week, in order to put some fire under this WICKED Vancouver Fringe show–not that it needs our help–50 Shades of Dave, an erotic parody of the Vinyl Cafe. The writers, Kyle Carpenter and Nico Dicecco, the latter of whom stars as the dearly departed Stuart MacLean, provide untold stories of Dave and Morely. We bite the Inside the Actor’s Studio devices and ask “Can we speak to Dave?”, which Nico delivers with extreme aplomb. Somehow we also determine that God has a cloaca. Fringe.
