==Personal life==
McLean was born in Montreal West, the eldest of three children to Australian immigrant parents, Andrew McLean and Margaret Godkin.<ref>"C'mon in to the Vinyl Cafe: CBC storyteller McLean brings make- believe and music to Montreal".

''Contemporary Authors'', January 1, 2006.</ref><ref name="mcleandead" /> His interest in radio programming developed during childhood when his father gifted him a Motorola radio to pass the time during an illness. This early fascination with radio persisted into adulthood, shaping McLean's career trajectory in media and journalism.<ref name="canenc" />

McLean was educated at [[Lower Canada College]] and [[Bishop's College School]] in Quebec.<ref>{{Cite news |archive-date=Jun 25, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200625000408/https://www.pressreader.com/canada/montreal-gazette/20100501/286392715211503 |url=https://www.pressreader.com/canada/montreal-gazette/20100501/286392715211503 |title=A place that destroyed children |date=1 May 2010 |first=Hubert |last=Bauch |publisher=[[Montreal Gazette]] |language=en |access-date=21 July 2023 |via=[[PressReader]] |url-status=live}}</ref> He admitted to feeling like an outsider to the other students at the private school, feeling neither athletic enough nor smart enough to fit in.<ref name="mcleandead" /> McLean graduated from [[Sir George Williams University]] with a B.A. degree in 1971.<ref name="canenc" />  Following his graduation, he worked in student services for [[Dawson College]], and as campaign manager for [[Nick Auf der Maur]] in his first [[Montreal City Council]] election.<ref name="mcleandead">{{cite web |url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/stuart-mclean-dead-at-68-1.3984826|title=Stuart McLean dead at 68 |publisher=[[CBC News]] |date=February 15, 2017 |accessdate=February 15, 2017}}</ref>

McLean married Linda Read, a potter, in 1982.<ref name="highbeam" /> They had two children together, Robert and Andrew, and McLean was stepfather to Read's son, Christopher Trowbridge, from her first marriage.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/17/arts/stuart-mclean-dead-vinyl-cafe-radio-host.html "Stuart McLean, Who Created Radio’s ‘The Vinyl Cafe,’ Dies at 68"].

==Media career==
=== Early work ===
McLean first joined CBC Radio as a researcher for ''[[Cross Country Checkup]]'' in 1974,<ref>"He's a radio junkie". ''[[Victoria Times-Colonist]]'', November 8, 1998.</ref> later becoming a documentarian for the radio program ''[[Sunday Morning (radio program)|Sunday Morning]]''.<ref name=torstar>[https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/2017/02/15/stuart-mclean-longtime-host-of-cbc-radios-vinyl-cafe-has-died.html "Stuart McLean, longtime host of CBC Radio’s ‘Vinyl Cafe,’ has died"]. ''[[Toronto Star]]'', February 15, 2017.</ref> He won an [[ACTRA Award]] in 1979 for "Operation White Knight", his ''Sunday Morning'' documentary about the [[Jonestown Massacre]].<ref>"CBC scores landslide in ACTRA awards" ''[[The Globe and Mail]]'', April 5, 1979.</ref> From 1981 until 1983 he was the show's executive producer.<ref>"CBC marriage works, as it happens". ''[[The Globe and Mail]]'', November 28, 1981.</ref>

McLean was a professor of journalism at [[Toronto Metropolitan University|Ryerson University]] from 1984 until 2004, when he retired and became a [[professor emeritus]].<ref name="canenc" /> When he died in 2017, former students of McLean recalled how he concerned himself with their success in the journalism industry. [[CTV News|CTV]] reporter Scott Lightfoot remarked, "I went to university twice, I took a lot of courses, I never had another professor offer to make phone calls on my behalf."<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://ryersonian.ca/stuart-mclean-former-ryerson-journalism-professor-dead-at-68/|title=Stuart McLean, former Ryerson journalism professor, dead at 68 {{!}} Ryersonian.ca|website=ryersonian.ca|date=February 16, 2017 |access-date=May 29, 2018}}</ref>

During the 1980s and 1990s, he was a frequent contributor to and sometime guest host of ''[[Morningside (radio program)|Morningside]]'',<ref name="torstar" /> for which he often produced human interest documentaries and audio essays about everyday people and places.<ref name="upsandtowns">"The ups and towns of being an author". ''[[The Globe and Mail]]'', January 4, 1993.</ref> He would later characterize his ''Morningside'' work as celebrating "the importance of being unimportant",<ref>"Gentle voices overheard at The Vinyl Cafe". ''[[Financial Post]]'', January 27, 1996.</ref> and as ultimately helping him find his own voice as a writer.<ref>[https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/2013/12/06/stuart_mclean_the_man_of_a_thousand_stories.html "Stuart McLean, the man of a thousand stories"]. ''[[Toronto Star]]'', December 6, 2013.</ref> ''Morningside'' host [[Peter Gzowski]] remembered fondly the work McLean did for the program: ”On the surface, they seemed inconsequential, but in fact they were exquisitely crafted pieces of journalism.”<ref name=":0">{{Cite news|url=https://ottawacitizen.com/entertainment/from-the-archives-a-profile-of-stewart-mclean|title=From the Archives: A profile of Stuart McLean|date=February 16, 2017|work=Ottawa Citizen|access-date=May 29, 2018}}</ref>

McLean eventually compiled a selection of his work for ''Morningside'' in his first book, ''The Morningside World of Stuart McLean''.<ref>"McLean's Morningside". ''[[Ottawa Citizen]]'', January 20, 1990.</ref> The book was a Canadian bestseller and a finalist for the 1990 [[Toronto Book Awards]].<ref name="canenc" /><ref>"Contest finalists announced". ''[[Toronto Star]]'', February 28, 1990.</ref> Following the success of his first book, McLean was approached by [[Penguin Books]] to write a travel memoir about life in small-town Canada.<ref name=":0" /> Released in 1992, ''Welcome Home: Travels in Smalltown Canada''<ref>"McLean`s book lifted by people". ''[[Calgary Herald]]'', December 5, 1992.</ref> featured stories from seven small communities, and won the Canadian Authors Association for best non-fiction book in 1993.<ref name="slice">"Slice of life comes from smalltown Canada". ''[[Calgary Herald]]'', October 22, 1993.</ref>

McLean often reported for CBC news programs ''[[The Journal (Canadian TV series)|The Journal]]'' and ''[[The National (CBC)|The National]]'', where he focused on [[Human interest story|human interest stories]], talking to "regular people" and delving into their often funny or poignant experiences. These segments about everyday people helped to inspire ''The Vinyl Cafe'', which in the same vein looked at the lives of average Canadians.<ref name="mcleandead" />

=== ''The Vinyl Cafe'' ===
{{Main|The Vinyl Cafe}}
In 1994, McLean launched ''The Vinyl Cafe'' as a summer series featuring stories about a fictional second-hand record store.<ref>"CBC revamps weekend schedule". ''[[Edmonton Journal]]'', July 2, 1994.</ref> Although the early stories focused on a diverse group of characters loosely linked through the titular Vinyl Cafe record store, by the time the series became a permanent one the stories were focused more squarely on the store's proprietor, Dave, and his family and friends.<ref name="starvehicle">"Vinyl Cafe a star vehicle for McLean". ''[[Kingston Whig-Standard]]'', February 13, 1998.</ref> Following the show's second summer run in 1995, McLean published ''Stories from the Vinyl Cafe'', his first book in that series.<ref>"Consummate storyteller unveils memorable collection". ''[[Kingston Whig-Standard]]'', November 4, 1995.</ref> The show joined CBC's permanent regular-season schedule in 1997.<ref>"CBC Radio changes name and schedule: Renaming of two networks reflects massive restructuring of programming". ''[[The Globe and Mail]]'', August 20, 1997.</ref>

Beginning in 1998, McLean took ''The Vinyl Cafe'' on the road to theatres across Canada and the United States.<ref name=torstar/><ref name=starvehicle/> Some stories would be repeated at multiple shows—in particular, an early story about Dave's awkward attempt to cook a turkey for Christmas dinner became one of the most famous and most frequently performed stories of McLean's career<ref>"Vinyl Cafe brings a new bird". ''[[Victoria Times-Colonist]]'', November 22, 2012.</ref>—but McLean would often perform slightly different versions of the stories to keep his audiences engaged.<ref name=grand>"Vinyl Cafe's McLean returns to Grand". ''[[Kingston Whig-Standard]]'', January 29, 1999.</ref> One episode of ''The Vinyl Cafe'' each year was also dedicated to the "Arthur Awards", McLean's own awards program to honour acts of kindness and community engagement by ordinary Canadians that might otherwise "go unheralded and even unnoticed".<ref name=ccc>[http://www.cbc.ca/radio/checkup/remembering-stuart-what-everyday-act-of-an-ordinary-person-in-your-community-do-you-think-should-be-honoured-1.3987950 "Remembering Stuart: What everyday act of an ordinary person in your community do you think should be honoured?"] ''[[Cross Country Checkup]]'', February 19, 2017.</ref>

''The Vinyl Cafe'' was broadcast every weekend on CBC Radio, and later as a weekly podcast.<ref name=demara>Bruce DeMara, "McLean steps down from his Vinyl Cafe: CBC Radio host says year-long battle against melanoma is not going 'exactly as planned'". ''[[Toronto Star]]'', December 14, 2016.</ref> McLean's books of stories from ''The Vinyl Cafe'' won the [[Stephen Leacock Memorial Medal for Humour]] three times.<ref name=canenc/> Several albums of his performances of ''Vinyl Cafe'' stories were also released. In the 2010s a spinoff edition, ''Vinyl Café Stories'', aired on CBC Radio in a weekday afternoon time-slot, featuring two previously broadcast stories on interrelated themes.

==Cancer treatment and death==
Following McLean's diagnosis with [[melanoma]] in November 2015, ''The Vinyl Cafe'' stopped touring and producing episodes.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/stuart-mclean-vinylcafe-tour-cancelled-melanoma-1.3329413|title=Stuart McLean cancels Vinyl Cafe Christmas tour due to melanoma|date=November 21, 2015|accessdate=December 13, 2016|publisher=[[CBC News]]}}</ref> McLean announced on December 13, 2016, that he required a second round of treatment, meaning further delay in producing episodes, and that repeats of past shows would stop airing on [[CBC Radio One]] effective January 2017 to "make room for others to share their work on the radio."<ref name="demara" /> McLean died of cancer on February 15, 2017, in Toronto, aged 68.<ref name="mcleandead" /><ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.nationalpost.com/arts/books/stuart-mclean-bestselling-author-and-host-of-cbc-radios-vinyl-cafe-has-died|title=Stuart McLean, bestselling author and host of CBC Radio's 'Vinyl Cafe,' has died|date=February 15, 2017|accessdate=February 15, 2017|newspaper=[[National Post]]}}</ref> His archive was donated to [[McMaster University]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/stuart-mclean-archives-1.4409455|title=Stuart McLean's archives to live on at McMaster University|work=CBC News|access-date=November 20, 2017}}</ref>

One day after his death in February 2017, a tribute special hosted by [[Michael Enright (broadcaster)|Michael Enright]] under the title ''Canada's Storyteller: A Tribute to Stuart McLean'', aired on CBC Radio; it was repeated the following Sunday in ''The Vinyl Cafe's'' former timeslot.<ref>[http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada-s-storyteller-a-tribute-to-stuart-mclean-1.3985501 "Canada's Storyteller: A Tribute to Stuart McLean"].
