[scene opens with a young man and a young woman sitting in the CKUA Library, each holding a stack of vinyl records]
MONICA: Hi there, my name is Monica Chattaway. I'm the librarian at CKUA Radio.
MICHAEL: Hi, I'm Michael Betmanis, the library technician.
MONICA: And we have just concocted a show for "Tales from the Vinyl Vault" ... um, that is pretty, y'know, pretty various. Pretty diverse, isn't it?
MICHAEL: It's a random show.
MONICA: Really random.
MICHAEL: There's no theme here.
MONICA: No. I mean, how did you go about choosing your LPs
MICHAEL: Album covers.
[he holds up the first record in his pile, showing four men standing in front of a Western theme]
MONICA: Yeah?
MICHAEL: Nice guys ... woman with rifle.
MONICA: Yup.
[he holds up his next album]
MICHAEL: Robert Crumb holding a banjo.
[he holds up his next album]
MICHAEL: Sam the Sham and his tight pants.
MONICA: Oooh!
MICHAEL: That's how I picked mine.
[she laughs]
MONICA: That's how ... We sort of also picked them, because we were finding LPs as we were cleaning up the library. So it was kinda random that way, too.
[she holds up the first record in his pile]
MONICA: But I picked mine based on nostalgia ... Um, "The Electric Company" was my favorite favorite show as a child, so I picked that one.
[she hods up her next album]
MONICA: And y'know, Monty Python. I grew up with that, and who didn't, really?
[she holds up her next album]
MONICA: And ... oh, soundtracks! I picked a lotta soundtracks, like this one. So that's sort of a random sampling of what you're gonna hear when you listen to "Tales from the Vinyl Vault."
MICHAEL: Friday, eight pm, mountain standard time.
MONICA: Be there.

Join CKUA Librarian Monica Chattaway and CKUA Library Technician Michael Betmanis as they showcase a wee cross section of some of the LPs they serendipitously came across whilst working in the CKUA LP Library. Is there a musical theme to Tales From the Vinyl Vault: The Library Edition? Perhaps. There's a little bit of soundtrack nostalgia, a little bit of groove, a little bit of odd ... and a whole lot of surprise!
