My aunt introduced me to Garrison Keilor in 1983. I used to listen to him on the radio and cassette tapes. Fast forward I'm now 46 and still listen to ALL of his stories.

He couldn't keep up that pace much longer.

I thank my Dad for introducing me to his Lake Wobegon cassette tapes as a kid in the 80s.

What a delightful character this man is.

Thank you for posting this. As you watch you can see what a vast imagination Mr. Keillor has to create his stories. I am a fan since about 1988. I never saw these interviews. Thank you!! ♥

What a beautiful mind - I am amazed at his memory - his memory of everything! His memory on display here in the recitation of the counties of Minnesota!

Brilliant writer.

Rainn Wilson as Garrison Keillor.

How young we all were back then.....

Enchanting

Never an off note with Garrison.

Great interview

The local county version of the elements song! Great!

This is fantastic. Thanks for sharing!

If you know the writings of Richard Brautigan, Read Keillor's "Ten Stories for Mr. Richard Brautigan" in Happy to Be Here. I haven't read the book in 30+ years but just thinking of that particular one still makes me laugh.

"Also, it looked burnt." 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

The early-1980’s was still like the 1970’s in some ways. GK almost always seemed tastefully weird outside of PHC.

miss the radio show :(

He looks like Jack Black suddenly grew several feet taller.

3:18 - ahh man, wholesome

Wow. Now that's a true Savant.

I listened multiple times and he left out the county I lived in… 😂

I didn't hear Olmstead.

Garrison here = Dwight Schrute

dwight schrutes dad

Missed out three counties I reckon...

Man, 30 years ago I had to produce / panel / drive the console of a radio show which ran for 3 hours, was nothing but back 2 back GK albums, oh boy oh boy, as a then 17 year old, I wanted nothing more than to t0p mys3lf when the show finished. All because the presenter had no idea how to run the studio equipment by himself, man, that was an EXTREMELY painful day.
