The News from Lake Wobegon

This is one of my weekly routines, and has been for many years. Garrison Keillor is a remarkable author, and produces this weekly update of the characters originally created in his book 'Lake Wobegon Days'.
I am now able to listen to it on my Wunderadio App.

The monologue is part of a radio show called the 'Prairie Home Companion'. It usually starts with the weather forecasts which sets the scene for the stories that follow. Little 5 to 10 minute journeys to a familiar world.

If you've never heard it before, you'll need to listen to a few episodes to get a sense of the cast of characters and familiar family names. The stories will make you laugh and cry by turns. Garrison Keillor is a genius.
