- Now in its 39th season, A Prairie Home Companion is heard by more than 4 million listeners each week and is on more than 576 public radio stations.
- The format includes guest musicians, comedy sketches, and popular skits like “Guy Noir,” and Keillor’s signature monologue, “The News from Lake Wobegon,” an idyllic place “where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average.”
- Grammy-winner Garrison Keillor went to work for Minnesota Public Radio in 1969 on the 6 am to 9 am morning program called A Prairie Home Companion—named after the Prairie Home cemetery in Moorhead, Minnesota. It was after starting there that he began work on an article for the New Yorker magazine about the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville that he developed the idea for a radio show with musical guests and commercials for imaginary products.
