The Story
Its 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 oldfashioned, uptotheminute 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 goodlooking, 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.
