Garrison Keillor's Radio Show: A Retrospective

4 Extra Debut. With American public radio's legendary host Garrison Keillor set to retire, a look back at over four decades on the airwaves.

With the retirement of American public radio's legendary host Garrison Keillor - a look back at over four decades on the airwaves.

Known in the USA as 'A Prairie Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Companion', the first show was performed in 1974 in St. Paul, Minnesota for an audience of 12 adults and children. Over time, APHC grew to become American public radio's most popular entertainment programme with four million weekly listeners on 500 plus radio stations from coast to coast.

As the show's founder, Garrison Keillor retires from hosting the show in July 2016, this retrospective, specially created for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4 Extra, features comedy skits, the iconic 'News From Lake Wobegon' monologues and lots of music drawn from over 40 years of weekly broadcasts.

Produced and compiled for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4 Extra by Prairie Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Productions.
