REWIND WEDNESDAY: Bonus Episode - The Boy Who Went Over the Falls

In this bonus episode you’ll hear my conversation with Roger Woodward, the boy who went over the Falls. You loved hearing his remarkable story in our Niagara Falls episode (back in October 2023) and wanted to hear more. Roger and I had a great time catching up and I learned so much more about that momentous day.

REWIND WEDNESDAY: There’s No Place Like Home - Tree of Heaven & Burd
2026-07-01 | 50 mins.
“She was a woodland bird, in the middle of the city, way off course, and she had landed at his feeder.”

Stuart McLean tells two Dave and Morley stories that explore the idea of home in its various forms: in Burd, a tiny feathered friend gets blown off course and finds its way to Dave and Morley’s garden where it decides to stop a while. And in Tree of Heaven a seedling takes root – in Dave’s car… and in his heart. Also this week, Jess tells a hilarious story about the trip she and Stuart took to Point Pelee to learn about birders and birding.
