Master storyteller and host of Public Radio�s �A Prairie Home Companion,� Garrison Keillor is one of the most beloved raconteurs and commentators of our times. For more than 40 years, he has been drawing pictures with his words and nudging us with his gentle, sardonic humor. Over 17 million listeners on more than 900 public radio stations still hear him every week. In addition to his radio roles and playing himself in the movie adaptation of �A Prairie Home Companion,� he is also a prolific author and poet. Keillor has received numerous awards and was recently presented with a National Humanities Medal by the National Endowment for the Humanities. In 1994, he was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame at Chicago�s Museum of Broadcast Communications.
