“It’s been a quiet week in Lake Wobegon, my hometown.” Those words signal the singular highlight of every A Prairie Home Companion® show—Garrison Keillor’s News from Lake Wobegon monologue. You can get 15 of these wonderfully warm and humorous monologues from the first 20 years of A Prairie Home Companion® in this splendid collection of highlights.

Monologues include “The Lake Superior Canyon Project,” “Cherry Picker,” and the classic story “Buddy Holly and the Pharaohs of Rhythm.” Music, songs and comedy sketches—including “Six Minute Hamlet”—from show broadcasts are included in between each story. Bonus: Contains, a 24-page booklet of reminiscences about the show from Garrison and friends. Over 5 hours on 4 CDs.
