I was glued to the radio every Saturday night for years, just to hear News from Lake Wobegone. Glad to know i can hear Garrison Keillor’s voice once again. He is a treasure.
Can I ask all of you a question? What is it about him that makes people laugh? I really don’t get half the stuff he says as being funny, however, he’s very quick witted with a lot of his stories and I think he’s amazing. Is it something where you need to have lived in a town like Lake Wobegon in order to relate? I’m just asking. Love the man.
I raised my kids listening to A PHC on drives back from ski trips - my pre-teen daughter loved the stories but fell asleep pretty quickly to Gary's voice. Years later, when he came to a local theater - Frauenthal in Muskegon, Michigan - she insisted we go. She was asleep 15 minutes after he started. Wouldn't ya know - but I remain grateful to this day for PHC giving life to the Norman Rockwell world I imagine.
Haven't heard these stories in probably 30 years, but i can almost recite along as I listen. Having myself a little cry over here about the pigs and the royal family.
The story about the hog slaughter rekindles a memory of me as a kid, pelting my uncles pigs with corn cobs. He spun me around and told me in no uncertain terms, that if I kept on, he would 'warm my britches' meaning an 'A-- whoopin'! True Story from the 1960's. Garrison Keillor is such a gift, to all of us.
A Prairie Home Companion was the highlight of my weekend from infancy until Garrison Keeler retired when I was in my early 40’s. So happy to find these
Unfortunately, GK didn't retire. He was fired for unwelcomed sexual conduct. We are all grateful for these videos. What wonderful memories of the Prairie Home Companion we can revisit when we need them more. Love that rhubarb pie 🥧
It’s Dec 2023 just bump into the Rhubarb Pie stories. I started listening to his voice back in 1977-1980 stationed on the USS America CV-66. His voice his stories are like Rhubarb Pie. Sweet and tart.
I used to listen on my way to my folks' house or Sunday Evening going home. It was really good company. It's mid November 2024, and I now need this more than ever.
O my stars & garters! I feared these were gone & lost forever to me! My dear departed sweet mother 😇 never missed his radio show & turned me on to it. Tysm for bringing back precious memories! Blessings fr Nashville🥰🙏🏼✝️
I glad you loved them. These 3 are my favorites. There are more stories here on UA-cam and you can buy them on Amazon. Just search "News from Lake Wobegon."
Yes! This made my day, week and year. I remember the first time I heard the NEWS! When I was single, I would decide whether I would date someone based on on wh on
I just discovered this site and with Garrison Keillor , loved the Prairie Home Companion and his stories from Lake Wobegon, I have a few on CD 's, my husband and I would listen to the radio and then watch when it came on public TV what a wonderful thing. I grew up in a small resort town and I could see in my hometown people who would have fit right into Lake Wobegon lol And I am probably one of them lol.
It is now Sunday July 9, 2023 and I was preparing to get out of bed and thinking about stories and how I liked to hear a good story well one thing led to another and I ended up here! I listened to these past 3 stories, the Rhubarb Pie, the Last Pig slaughter and The Royal Family. I was unaware that these stories were or could be found on UA-cam, I presumed that they were gone for ever, much to my surprise I re-found them.
I just love A Prarie Home Companion. Thank you. I am a word nerd, so I can totally agree with the looking up a word because I looked up a word and another weird one was in the definition!
Growing up in the UK and moving to the US in the 80’s, I didn’t become aware of APHC until I picked it up on NPR a number of years ago. I also saw Keillor performing on stage in Ft Lauderdale.
I just watched the famous WKRP Thanksgiving turkey drop and was reminded of Garrison's Xmas Santa Claus sky-diving incident where the Santa skydiver showed up to drunk to dive so they put his suit on a dummy and you can guess the rest~~~ one of the funniest shows ever! I wish I could find it on YT!
I loved WKRP and I know every word to the theme song. The turkey giveaway promotion with turkeys flung from a helicopter is my favorite holiday show of all tome. I still laugh until I cry thinking about it. Who knew turkeys couldn't fly?" Les Nesman lamented. Rhubarb pie is my favorite, no strawberries please.
@@meatdog The punch line of that one was the dummy skydiver parachute got twisted and instead of drifting off to a nearby field where they planned to make the switch, it crashed amidst the people where the head broke off and rolled through the crowd bouncing off the legs of women and children to everyone horror! I have heard various themes of this one and the WKRP turkey one before, I don't know the origination of them, but something similar must have really happened. Is there such a thing as an Urban Myth Anthropologist???

I made over 100 2-hour cassette tapes of Saturday Night Live. When my children (now 40 and 42) were toddlers, I would sit in the living room and they would develop a big fight in front of me. By the time I had sorted them out I would have missed a large portion of the program. I started taping the program and listening to them on the 40-minute drive to and from work. The most magical program I ever heard was the December 21, 1985 program. The News from Lake Woebegon brought forth tears and laughter, and ended with the whole auditorium singing Silent Night. I have looked and looked for it online, but apparently the people of Lake Woebegone have decided to keep it for themselves.
Rhubarb Pie Makes one deep dish or two regular pies. In a mixing bowl Combine 4 cups rhubarb cut into half inch pieces, fresh or frozen is ok. 2 eggs Cup of brown sugar 3/4 cup white sugar 2 Tbl spoons flour A little freshly grated nutmeg 2 Tbl spoons half and half Bottom crust can be homemade or just use frozen pie crusts. Makes 2 regular pies or one deep dish pie. Topping You have to double the toppings recipe if you make two shallow pies. In a food processor add 1/2 cup flour 1/4 cup Brown sugar 1/4 cup cold Butter cut into small pieces. Pinch of salt Pulse until you get a crumble topping then add 1/4 cup rolled oats for one or two last pulses. Put rhubarb mixture into bottom crust and spread crumble topping on top. Bake @ 375 F for 45 minutes to 1 hour, On a foil lined baking sheet. (If it bubbles over it’s a bit of a clean up) The center of pies should have some bubbling movement when done. If the edges of the crust begin to get too brown cover edges in aluminum foil. Best when served warm with a scoop vanilla frozen custard, or if you are in a less fortunate part of the country, you can use vanilla ice cream. If you don’t like rhubarb pie, there’s a chance we wouldn’t be friends. Also, If you serve it to rhubarb pie newbies, start them off with a very thin, little, tiny slices, because an unfinished slice might cause ill feelings.
24 min in His uncle was angry because he was being cruel to the pigs. His uncles & others respected their pigs & bred them healthy & happy. They probably didn't enjoy to slaughter what they probably loved also, but saw it as a necessity . It wasn't about respecting a ritual but to be grateful for , & respect the life of , the pigs which in turn fed them.
We had a lovely patch of rhubarb that grew really well. Unfortunately one day we noticed our dog Bruce, cocking his leg over it. Never fancied it after that. 😒
I love that story about the Campbells. Scottish royalty right there in your little town. Who knew?! Ha. I am related to Counts, Countesses, Knights, Lords and Ladies, and a Baron and Baroness. Does that make me royalty? No. Many are landed gentry. Does that make me landed gentry? No. I have to earn my own, just as anyone does.
If you can find his Thanksgiving program when he sang all the things he ate it would bring many smiles Thanksgiving2023. ( between verses he sang oh oh oh, so funny)
The Royal Family concerning the Campbell's of Lake Wobegon ended with a traditional Irish tune. This beautiful ballad was composed by Michael Considine. Mike was born in County Clare, 1850. When he immigrated to the United States in 1870, it was with the plan of making enough money to send for his sweetheart, Mary MacNamara. (Modern singers have changed his name and her name in the song.) Sadly, Mike got very ill and died at the age of twenty-three. Mike Considine wrote "Spancil Hill" while his health was failing in California, "far far from Spancil Hill." ua-cam.com/video/rwoRoAaLyNw/v-deo.html
It's quite popular; it's sung in Irish pubs on the North American continent as well as in Ireland. I thought that it was peculiar for the story to end with an Irish tune instead of a Scottish tune.
If anyone here has Audible, they have about a dozen books written and narrated by Keillor free of charge at the time of this posting. Some are stand alone books, some are Lake Wobegon stories. All narrated by Keillor. Take advantage and snatch them up into your library while they're free!!!
HEREs my question : If you have ever watched a televised episode of PHC you will see Garrison step up to the mike without a script in his hand nor a stand holding a script. SO my question is does he have all of this memorized? He does NEWs and GUY and COWBOYs each week. That would be a lot to write & memorize and keeping all the characters straight. OR Is it possible he ad libs this ON the SPOT? Altho it would be incredible I would guess it would be easier to make it all up on the spot than to memorize & adhere to a script. What say you Garrison? !
Please tell me, what is that second story? It hits harder than any Pastor Ingqvist story (and those have been my favorites since my teen years). I just...geez, he's good.
It's from his collection "Fall' and it's call "Hog Slaughter". which includes the story of the pitiable Elizabeth June. Mr. Keillor had a keen insight into and great empathy for the "all to human" characters of lake Wobegon. He was an excellent performer who could have you laughing one minute and 5 minutes later holding back tears. His stories are told in such a way that we understand the ridiculousness, humor and sorrow in them for those emotions are part of our own stories.

This dear man and his whispering, mesmerizing baritone voice helped me get through a troubled marriage. The News from Lake Wobegon told me I made it through to another Saturday night. The musicians, the storytellers, Tom Keith handling the amazing sound effects…it was a weekly event that I looked forward to, my treat for getting through the week of abuse. For 90 minutes, Garrison held my hand and told me tales from a safer land. He was special, a friend, a healer, a savior. Thank you for instilling in me the courage to go on with life.
I loved Prairie Home Companion so much as a kid and all the recordings meant so much so to me and now I know that if Garrison had encountered me as a teenager he wouldve tried to stick into me no matter how young I'd been is a crushing knowledge indeed. Come on, you know it too. Block me if it makes your numbers better, but you know the truth.
I was glued to the radio every Saturday night for years, just to hear News from Lake Wobegone. Glad to know i can hear Garrison Keillor’s voice once again. He is a treasure.

I’m a huge fan of old baseball so the Babe Ruth Comes to Lake Wobegon was my favorite.
A powerful episode!! A keeper" well Done.
These three were good but more on the somber / real life side compared to some of the more humorous ones. Thank you for posting these!

Thank you. Was trying to find information
When we lived in Kansas people had rhubarb- being from Texas we never had it and we didn't like it. 🥧Apple, Pecan & Sweet Potato 🥧 🥧 YES !!!
Where I use to live, the grocery stores had Strawberry-Rhubarb pie. It was good with ice cream a la mode.
