IIt's been a quiet week in Lake Wobegon, my home town….' Each week, more than four million radio listeners hear these words, and settle in for some old-fashioned, up-to-the-minute storytelling.
During live broadcasts of A Prairie Home Companion, Garrison Keillor takes us to 'the little town that time forgot and the decades cannot improve,' where 'the women are strong, the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average.' These expertly crafted tales touch the heart and tickle the funnybone. Warm, poignant, often hilarious, each is a classic of live storytelling, full of gentle humor, genuine emotion, and (more often than not) surprising insights into family, community, love, faith, and hope.
