Revisit memorable performances of Garrison Keillor's signature monologue, The News from Lake Wobegon, from rebroadcasts of the live public radio program A Prairie Home Companion. Garrison created A Prairie Home Companion in July 1974 and hosted for 42 years, until July 2016. Enjoy classic tales from the town where "all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average.” Produced by American Public Media. Twitter: @prairie_home
He is a fantastic story teller, but his old man "kids these days don't know the terror of my youth" is bs. Kids these days grew up with school shootings, terror attacks and a culture that increasingly praises violence and war. Childhood existential terror is not as bad as when Keillor grew up, it's far worse.
As a listener of over 40 years I am sad that Garrison’s live broadcast are a thing of the past. He is a national treasure and I am glad that the younger generation will be able to appreciate that through these podcasts.

The story of Mazie the black lab is one of my very favorites. I enjoyed hearing it again. I've known a few animals like that.
