For millions of Americans in love with a little fictional corner of Minnesota, Saturday night is Prairie Home Companion night, and Garrison Keillor is the man who keeps the lamplight burning.
An old-fashioned master of storytelling and the radio review, who plucks at mystic chords of memory until Powdermilk Biscuits and the Chatterbox Cafe pop out. For decades now, he’s been at it — on the air, in print, and lately on the big screen. Some call him the new Mark Twain. He’s out with a new book called “Pontoon”.
This hour On Point: a conversation with A Prairie Home Companion’s Garrison Keillor.
-Tom Ashbrook
Guest:
Garrison Keillor, host of Minnesota Public Radio’s A Prairie Home Companion and author of the new book, “Pontoon: A Novel of Lake Wobegon.”

In the Onpoint Show 11/20/08, there was a section with Garrison Keillor and he read a poem called “Snow”.
Posted by Dane Rigden, on November 21st, 2008 at 8:34 am ESTI wished to find this poem and tried to find this in the archive. I could not, searching on “Keillor” only produced a piece from Sept 07.
