I feel sorry for people who don't get this humour, who can't enjoy listening instead of watching. This man is a balm to my wounded heart and soul.

Love these stories of Lake Wobegon. Thank you.

It has been so much fun listening to you again. I had a pile of ironing and your stories made the boring chore a delightful experience!

I know people who attended storytelling workshops by Garrison Keillor. I was told that he could just pick a topic and start the story based on that, and showed how at any point in the story, some trigger would point the story in a different direction. Of course, Mr Keillor is well versed and knowledgeable about midwestern small town life and history, as well as a reservoir of knowledge of the world, so he has a lot to pull from. He also has a rye sense of humor with perfect timing and inflection.

These are brilliantly written and a needed relief from today's insanities. ❤

Suddenly Lake Wobegon appeared in my suggested videos - out of nowhere. Never listened to these on KZfaq, though years back I listened to the whole archive on the PHC website. I thought I'd heard it all, and here are "new" News from Lake Wobegon monologues I never heard before. Treasure!

It's nearly 4 am and I should be asleep but the ending went over my head. I love listening to GK. I just found his material this past week and I'm binging on whatever I can find. I appreciate those who have taken the time to upload his great work. I wish him well.

Love these!

I've listened to you for years and I'm so glad I found these to add to my collection!

Such fun to experience, thank you

I cannot believe the crafting of these stories. I started listening to GK back in the late 70s early 80s as a lad in Sydney Australia. I was blown away by GK's ability to instill emotion, paint mental pictures and make me really care and be involved with fictional characters (albeit based on real ones) half a world away who I had never and will never meet. Sounds silly but I have often wondered whether anyone has made a list of the central characters GK talks about and their relation to each other and the town.

Was somewhat sad, then entertaining, then the ending was great

Very hilarious

I loved his stories of Lake Woebegone. They were funny, and his characters were so wonderful.

I am loving this channel but can I ask a) does GK know of its existence? b) is GK explicitly supportive of it?

my computer saying it 90 percent is bull. My radio is less and it loud, this barley hear it. I hate hackers take overs. I did try to increse my sound. it does not work

Oh dear.
