Sad times in the land of public radio, as the man who started A Prairie Home Companion 41 years ago is going to step down within the next year. What will you miss about Keillor? His stories of the folk in Lake Woebegon? The adventures of Guy Noir, Private Detective? The singing? Tell me it's the singing.

Oh, the show's not ending. A guy from Nickle Creek is going to start hosting it.

i hate npr

but there are three things which will make me actually turn off npr:


the gay techno poo poo here on chicagos vocolo poo poo fest

radiolab, because it doesnt make any loving sense, but unlike some media that doesnt make any sense, it isnt any good

and praire home companion. it sucks. it sucks. garisson keillor sucks.


interestingly i will sit through their pledge drives

you're brave because i turn off npr during pledge drives, but i keep it on during radiolabs (though it's rarely on and only caught a couple episodes. the couple stories were interesting enough besides the wonky stupid lovely sound editing with them using every single sound effect from w/e lovely library they purchased in the 80s)

anyways gently caress phc

Why even have the PHC without him, might as well wrap it all up. For boring old people stuff we have the Vinyl Cafe to come in and it has the bonus of being Unintelligible Canadian Stuff will further rile goons.

You follow the path
fitting into an infinite pattern.

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment
before the closure
when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.


The women will always be strong, the men good looking, and the children above average.

my parents always listened to these shows when I was growing up so it's weird now that the people on them are all old and dying. they've been my weekend background noise for decades. i respect the PHC crew for the amount of material they put out each year, even if the quality is pretty uneven.

any goons listen to Wits? that show was started by Minnesota public radio/american public media (they're the same company shh) in order to appeal to younger listeners. it can be hit or miss too. but then sometimes you get a magical sketch, like the one where keegan michael key plays pacman and has to deal with the creeping horror that he might have seen a ghost!!

I can't get very mad at prairie Home Companion, because we live in a universe where Says You! exists. Says You! is the worst radio show ever made.

It's worse than the worst TV show, movie or book, too. Says You! is loving horrible, and I actually hate the people who make it.
