DescriptionThe Bob Edwards Show is a one-hour daily radio program based on a simple idea: interesting people talking about interesting things. It's a radio program that talks with listeners, not at them. Radio that encourages people to think, not just regurgitate what talking heads think. Well-researched and highly-produced interviews form the core of the program. It introduces you to people and ideas that you will not see on morning TV or hear on your local morning zoo. And it lets them speak for more than the seven seconds you'll get on the all-news AM station in between visits to the Storm Center and traffic on the eights.

Description"It's been a quiet week in Lake Wobegon, my hometown..." Garrison Keillor first did his monologue in 1974 to an audience of 20 in a St. Paul theater. Today, more than 2.2 million people tune in each week to hear the tall tales and sweet stories about the citizens of this small Minnesota town. It's a town where "the women are strong, the men are good-looking, and all of the children are above average." Keillor's monologues capture the nuances of country life and of growing up American with eloquence and subtle humor - the luxury of rhubarb pie, the Krebsbachs' thrifty vacation, the vapor lights of Our Lady of Perpetual Responsibility. Step into "the little town that time forgot" and you'll forget it's not your own town, yet feel so close to home.
