A Prairie Home Companion

Airs Saturdays at 6PM on 93.9 FM and AM 820 and again on Sundays at 11AM on AM 820

From the American heartland to the vast urban centers, humorist, writer, and hard-core Minnesotan Garrison Keillor offers an old-time variety show as homespun as it is savvy. Broadcast weekly before a live audience, A Prairie Home Companion combines live music, radio theater, and yarns spun from the fictional Lake Wobegone, complete with cowboys, Norwegians, starving artists, Lutherans, jingles for Powdermilk Biscuits, weekly solos, and singalongs.

Also, tune in to Evening Music with Margaret Juntwait and Evening Music with David Garland each week night at 8PM as WNYC-FM presents The Writer's Almanac, a daily program of poetry and history hosted by Garrison Keillor.
