A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor at the Grandstand

A Prairie Home Companion is a radio variety show starring humorist Garrison Keillor. The program features tales from Lake Wobegon, “where the women are strong, the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average." Keillor first broadcast A Prairie Home Companion in 1969. It has existed in its current format since 1974. Today, his unique brand of satire is heard by over four million listeners each week on over 558 public radio stations, and is heard abroad on America One and the Armed Forces Networks in Europe and the Far East.
