A Prairie Abode Companion is a weekly radio diverseness prove created and hosted past Garrison Keillor that aired alive from 1974 to 2016. In 2016, musician Chris Thile took over equally host, and the successor show was eventually renamed Alive from Here and ran until 2020. A Prairie Domicile Companion aired on Saturdays from the Fitzgerald Theater in Saint Paul, Minnesota; it was as well frequently heard on tours to New York City and other U.S. cities. The show is known for its musical guests, especially folk and traditional musicians, tongue-in-cheek radio drama, and relaxed humor. Keillor's wry storytelling segment, "News from Lake Wobegon," was the show's best-known feature during his long tenure.

Distributed by Minnesota Public Radio'south distribution arm, American Public Media, A Prairie Domicile Companion was heard on 690 public radio stations in the U.s.a. at its top in spring 2022 and reached an audience of four 1000000 U.S. listeners each week.^[i] The prove borrowed its name from a radio program in existence in 1969 that was named later the Prairie Home Cemetery nearly Concordia Higher, in Moorhead, Minnesota.^[two] It inspired a 2006 film of the same name, written by and featuring Keillor.

History [edit]

Origin [edit]

The Saturday-evening show was a fractional spin-off of A Prairie Habitation Morning Show with Keillor and Tom Keith, which ran from half dozen to 9 a.m. on Minnesota Public Radio and was continued past Keith and Dale Connelly for many years as The Morning Show.

Afterwards researching the Grand Ole Opry for an article, Keillor became interested in doing a variety evidence on the radio. On July six, 1974, the showtime live broadcast of A Prairie Domicile Companion took place on Minnesota Public Radio. That show was broadcast from St. Paul in the Janet Wallace Auditorium of Macalester College. Twelve audience members turned out, generally children.^[iii] The second episode featured the first performance on the testify past Butch Thompson, who became house pianist. Thompson stayed with the programme until 1986 and frequently performed on the show until its 2022 conclusion.

In 1978, the show moved into the World Theater in St. Paul, which Minnesota Public Radio purchased and renovated in 1986 and renamed the Fitzgerald Theater in 1994. This is the same venue the program used to the stop.

A Prairie Home Companion began national distribution in May 1980.^[4] Because National Public Radio (NPR) rejected the show due to its president Frank Mankiewicz perceiving the show every bit too expensive and insulting towards small towns, the testify was initially distributed through a public radio satellite system that had been completed by June 1980 and immune NPR member stations to distribute programs outside the NPR network.^[4] In 1983, Minnesota Public Radio president William Kling started a new company to distribute A Prairie Home Companion chosen American Public Radio, which would later be renamed Public Radio International in 1994.^{[4] [5]}

Hiatus [edit]

The testify went off the air in 1987, with a "final performance" on June 13, and Keillor married and spent some time abroad during the following two years. For a brief time, the show was replaced—both on the air and in the World Theater—by Good Evening, hosted by Noah Adams, a alive diversity show designed by ex-Prairie Home and All Things Considered staffers to retain the audience Keillor had cultivated over the years. However, many stations opted instead to continue APHC repeats in its traditional Saturday fourth dimension slot.^[6]

In 1989, Keillor returned to radio with The American Radio Company of the Air (renamed Garrison Keillor's American Radio Company in its 2nd flavour), broadcast originally from the Brooklyn Academy of Music. The new program featured a broadly similar format to A Prairie Abode Companion, with sketches and musical guests reflecting a more than New York sensibility, rather than the country and folk music predominant in APHC. Also, while Keillor sang and delivered a regular monologue on American Radio Visitor, Lake Wobegon was initially downplayed, as he felt it was "savage" to talk to a Brooklyn audience nigh life in a modest town. During this period, Keillor revived the full APHC format only for "almanac goodbye performances." In the fall of 1992, Keillor returned to the Fitzgerald Theater with ARC for the majority of the flavour, with Lake Wobegon and other APHC elements gradually but unmistakably returning to prominence.

Return and last years [edit]

The post-obit year, on October 2, 1993, the program officially reverted to the A Prairie Home Companion proper name and format.^[7]

While many of the episodes originated from St. Paul, the bear witness frequently traveled to other cities around the U.South. and overseas for its live weekly broadcasts. Common road venues included The Town Hall in New York City; Tanglewood in Lenox, Massachusetts; Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts in Vienna, Virginia; Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee; the Greek Theater in Los Angeles; and the Country Theater in Minneapolis. Information technology also broadcast a show each twelvemonth from the Minnesota State Fair.

The show was originally distributed nationally by Minnesota Public Radio in association with Public Radio International. Later, its distributor was Minnesota Public Radio's distribution unit, American Public Media.^[viii]

Guest hosts [edit]

Chris Thile as guest host in 2016

Singer Sara Watkins of San Diego, California, hosted the January 15, 2011, circulate. The format was the same, merely Keillor appeared but as a guest actor and to deliver the "News from Lake Wobegon". He claimed he had taken the chance to come across the show existence performed for himself. It was reported that this could be the get-go of a tendency toward Keillor's eventual retirement,^[9] and on March xvi, 2011, Keillor stated in an interview with the AARP that he would most likely retire from the bear witness by the time he turned 70 in Baronial 2012.^[10] On January 29, 2011, Erica Rhodes expressed frustration over non existence picked to guest host.

In September 2011, Keillor told The Tuscaloosa News that his terminal circulate would be recorded in "early July 2013", and that instead of a permanent replacement host, there will be "a whole grouping of people. A rotation of hosts",^[11] just in Dec 2011 Keillor said he had changed his mind and reconsidered his plans to retire considering he still enjoyed hosting the show.

On February seven and 14, 2015, mandolinist Chris Thile hosted the show (similar Sara Watkins, a member of Nickel Creek). As when Watkins hosted, the format remained largely unchanged, but Keillor did not make an appearance. Instead, storyteller Tristan Jimerson appeared on the February 7 show and comedienne/storyteller Elna Baker on the February 14 evidence. Thile's band Punch Brothers performed on the February 7 evidence.^[12] Thile was named permanent host of the evidence in tardily June 2015, and took over as permanent host on October xv, 2016.^{[13] [14]}

Keillor's deviation [edit]

When Keillor formally announced his departure from APHC at the prove's airing on July 21, 2015, he indicated that Thile would succeed him as permanent host in 2016.^[15] Keillor recorded his final regular episode as host live at the Hollywood Basin before an audition of 18,000, on July one, 2016; it was aired on the following twenty-four hours.^[16] The episode was titled " Sumus Quod Sumus " (Latin for '"We are what we are"'),^[17] and was a vocal duet bear witness of "time-honored American ballads, British Invasion romps, country-western weepers, and Broadway classics," invitee-starring Sara Watkins, Sarah Jarosz, Aoife O'Donovan, Heather Masse, and Christine DiGiallonardo, alongside the "Royal Academy of Radio Actors," Tim Russell, Sue Scott, and Fred Newman, and the APHC band, with music director and pianist Rich Dworsky and Bernie Dresel (drums), Larry Kohut (bass), Richard Kriehn (mandolin and fiddle), and Chris Siebold (guitar).^[xviii]

Barack Obama recorded a telephone call into the show, which ran on the Saturday circulate,^[xvi] and Keillor performed his last "Lives of the Cowboys" sketch as regular host,^[16] with regulars Scott, Russell, and Newman, and including a series of duets with the guests Masse, O'Donovan, Jarosz, DiGiallonardo, and Watkins.^[xix]

While the July 2 Hollywood Bowl performance was the last regular episode of A Prairie Home Companion, Garrison Keillor also hosted a concluding live performance titled "The Minnesota Show" at the Minnesota State Fair on September ii, 2016, including the last-ever "Guy Noir" and "News from Lake Wobegon" segments.^[twenty]

Name modify [edit]

On November 29, 2017, Minnesota Public Radio terminated its contract with Keillor because of "allegations of his inappropriate behavior with an private who worked with him."^{[21] [22] [23]} Because Keillor still owned artistic rights and the trademark to the show's name, MPR besides announced that information technology would alter the name,^[24] which was appear as Alive from Hither live on the December 16, 2017, broadcast of the evidence.^[25] MPR too announced it would cease distributing reruns of A Prairie Domicile Companion featuring Keillor.^[26] Keillor stated he had been "fired" from MPR, but he had technically not been employed past MPR/APM since 2002, working instead as an contained contractor.^[27] When it was appear in 2022 that Live from Here was going to be based in and circulate out of New York City, many Minnesotan fans publicly complained that the radio show was losing its Midwestern fashion.^[28] Live from Here was canceled in 2020.^[29]

Broadcast archives [edit]

On Apr thirteen, 2018, Minnesota Public Radio posted a message stating its intent to reinstate the costless online archives of A Prairie Dwelling house Companion and The Writer's Almanac.^[30] The portion of the PrairieHome.org website containing the archives was restored later in the year.

Format [edit]

On Air sign at the Fitzgerald Theater

From the testify's inception until 1987, its theme song was Hank Snow's hit "Hello Dearest".^[31] After 1987, each show has opened with Spencer Williams' limerick "Tishomingo Blues" equally the theme song, with lyrics by Garrison Keillor^[32] that were written especially for A Prairie Dwelling Companion.^[33]

Music is a master feature of the program; the show is a significant outlet for American folk music of many genres, peculiarly land, bluegrass, blues, and gospel, but it as well has guest performers from a wide variety of other styles of music, including classical, opera, and music from a number of dissimilar countries. The country musician and erstwhile record visitor executive Chet Atkins appeared on the show many times, as did singer-songwriters Marking Knopfler (lead guitarist and frontman of the bands Dire Straits and the Notting Hillbillies) and Jeff Lang. Folk/gospel duo Robin and Linda Williams had been regular guests since 1976, and oft join Keillor and another female performer, often Jearlyn Steele, to course "The Hopeful Gospel Quartet". Peter Ostroushko, Greg Brown, Jean Redpath, and Prudence Johnson, amid others, were recurring guests on the program between 1974 and 1987. The Wailin' Jennys and Andra Suchy were also recurring guests, and when the prove travelled, Keillor generally featured local musicians and acts.

Greetings from members of the audition to friends and family at home (frequently humorous) were read each calendar week by Keillor just after the bear witness's intermission, at the top of the second hr. Birthdays and anniversaries of famous composers and musicians were likewise observed.

Features [edit]

The Rhubarb Sisters singing during taping of the show

Keillor and the ensemble performed comedy skits. Notable skits and characters oft recur, such as the satirical "Guy Noir, Private Eye", which parodied film noir and radio dramas. Guy Noir's popularity was such that the start few notes of the theme or the first lines of the announcer'south introduction ("A dark night in a city that knows how to keep its secrets ...") oft drew applause and cheers from the audition. Also regularly featured were the adventures of Dusty and Lefty, "The Lives of the Cowboys".

News from Lake Wobegon [edit]

One of the show's best-known features was Keillor's "News from Lake Wobegon", a weekly storytelling monologue, claiming to be a report from his fictitious hometown of Lake Wobegon, "the petty town that time forgot and the decades cannot improve ... where all the women are strong, all the men are expert-looking, and all the children are to a higher place average". The opening words of the monologue usually did not modify: "Well, information technology'due south been a quiet week in Lake Wobegon, Minnesota, my hometown, out on the edge of the prairie." Keillor often poked fun at central Minnesota's large Scandinavian-American and German-American communities, and many of his fictional characters have names that reflect this. The "News from Lake Wobegon" did not accept a gear up structure, but featured recurring characters and places such every bit the Chatterbox Café, the Sidetrack Tap, Pastor Ingqvist of the Lake Wobegon Lutheran Church and his successor Pastor Liz, Father Emil of Our Lady of Perpetual Responsibility Roman Catholic Church (a parody of Our Mother of Perpetual Help), the Lake Wobegon Whippets sports teams, various members of the Bunsen and Krebsbach families, and an assortment of nearby "Norwegian bachelor farmers".

In-jokes are sprinkled through the evidence, such as "Piscacadawadaquoddymoggin", a made-up word that's been used both for places and for people'due south names. The components of this made-up discussion are portions of Native American place names in the New England region of the U.s., most of them in Maine (i.e.: Piscataqua, Passamaquoddy, and Androscoggin).

Almanac "Joke Show" [edit]

One time a yr the program featured a special "joke show", which generally included the Lake Wobegon monologue and musical acts, just with other skits replaced past the performers taking turns telling jokes. Humorists such as Paula Poundstone and Roy Blount Jr. often made guest appearances on those shows, and listeners and audience members were encouraged to submit jokes for use on the air. Portions of such shows were incorporated into a book^[34] and CDs.^[35]

[edit]

A sign for "Guy's Shoes", ane of A Prairie Home Companion 'south fictitious sponsors

Prairie Domicile 'south most prominent "sponsor" is the fictitious "Powdermilk Biscuits". Earlier he and the ring performed the production's jingle every calendar week ("Has your family tried 'em, Powdermilk?"), Garrison Keillor would extol Powdermilk's virtues in this way:

Heavens they're tasty, and expeditious. Give shy persons the strength they need to get upwardly and do what needs to exist done. Fabricated from whole wheat raised by Norwegian bachelor farmers, so you know they're not but good for you lot, they're pure, mostly. Get 'em in the bright blue box with a moving picture of a biscuit on the front end, or ready-made in the brown bag with the dark stains that indicate freshness.^[36]

Among its other "sponsors", Bebop-A-Reebop Rhubarb Pie (and Frozen Rhubarb Pie Filling) has been prominent, with ads featuring the Bebop-A-Reebop jingle, performed to the melody of "Shortnin' Bread":

One fiddling thing can revive a guy
And that is a piece of rhubarb pie
Serve it up, dainty and hot
Maybe things aren't as bad equally you lot idea
Momma's little baby loves rhubarb, rhubarb
Bebopareebop rhubarb pie.^[37]

The jingle is usually sung afterwards a bombastic, audio-effect-enhanced tale of woe, and is immediately followed past Keillor request, "Wouldn't this be a great fourth dimension for a piece of rhubarb pie? Yes, nothing gets the gustation of shame and humiliation out of your oral fissure quite like Bebop-A-Reebop Rhubarb Pie."^{[37] [ better source needed ]}

Other prominent "sponsors" include Bertha's Kitty Bazaar, whose locations in the fictional "Dales" shopping centers ("Roy 'n' Dale, Airedale, Teasdale, Clydesdale, Chippendale, Mondale, and all the other fine shopping centers") allude to various existent people and things, and The Catchup Advisory Board—its name a mashup of the mutual "catsup" and "ketchup" spellings—which has the tagline "Catchup: For the expert times."^[38]

• Midwestern Discount Shop

• Raw $.25 breakfast cereal, a cereal for a select pocket-sized target audition ("Oat hulls and wheat chaff—it's not for everybody")

Alterations [edit]

While much of the show is directed toward radio one-act, a portion is usually devoted to some more sentimental and sometimes dark stories put together past Keillor and others. The program occasionally likewise features political satire. At the beginning of the June 5, 2004, bear witness (broadcast from Meadowbrook Musical Arts Middle in Gilford, New Hampshire), Keillor appear that former U.S. President Ronald Reagan had died. A member of the audition hooted and cheered loudly, merely Keillor, a staunch Democrat, gave the Republican Reagan a warm tribute in the class of a gospel song. Similarly, in a 2002 show airing the weekend after the death of Senator Paul Wellstone, Keillor changed the format of the show, starting it off with Wellstone's favorite segment, Guy Noir, skipping even the bear witness's theme song.

Motion-picture show [edit]

Released on June 9, 2006, A Prairie Home Companion is a film nearly "a dying radio show that bears striking similarities to 'A Prairie Abode Companion,'" with the bodily APHC home venue, the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul chosen to serve "every bit gear up slice, soundstage and framing device".^[48] The film was written by Garrison Keillor and directed by Robert Altman, and shot digitally, with camera by Altman'due south son, Robert Altman Jr.; the moving picture stars Keillor, Meryl Streep, Tommy Lee Jones, Lily Tomlin, Kevin Kline, John C. Reilly, Lindsay Lohan, Maya Rudolph, Woody Harrelson, Virginia Madsen, and L.Q. Jones.^[48] APHC regular Rich Dworsky appears as the bandleader,^[49] and served equally the film's pianist, conductor, arranger, and composer. The film depicts the unnamed radio program's behind-the-scenes activities, and the relational dynamics within the cast over its anticipated, imminent counterfoil. The antagonist, Axeman, "who has come to close the show downwardly", is played by Tommy Lee Jones.^[48] As described in a 2005 on-fix piece by David Carr for The New York Times, the picture set'due south temper had

a kind of Spanky and Our Gang allow's-put-on-a-show quality, with crew, marquee talent and "Prairie Habitation" acolytes and extras mixing freely. The dailies, the traditional day'south-end expect at finished footage, usually include[d] about 75 people, a vivid reminder of Mr. Altman'due south penchant for collaborative filmmaking. And considering music is such an important function of the movie and the radio show, the set always seem[ed] to be lifted by the pluck of a mandolin or a 3-role harmony rehearsal.^[48]

The movie, which makes no reference to Lake Wobegon,^[49] is of characteristic length,^[l] with its financing provided by GreeneStreet Films, River Road Entertainment, and local Minnesota sources.^[48] Its award nominations (2006, unless noted) include the Berlin International Film Festival-Gilded Bear accolade for all-time flick, the National Association of Picture show Critics-Bodil Accolade for Best American Film, the Film Independent (flick association) Independent Spirit Award for Best Managing director, the Chicago Film Critics Association Award for Best Screenplay, the International Press Academy-Satellite Awards for Best Adapted Screenplay, the Independent Filmmaker Project-Gotham Independent Film Award for Best Ensemble Performance, the Circulate Film Critics Association-Critics' Option Movie Award for All-time Cast, and the Casting Society of America-Artios Award for Best Casting for Feature Motion picture (One-act); its wins include the Yomiuri Shimbun (picture association) Hochi Film Accolade (2007) for Best Foreign Film.^[51] In addition, Meryl Streep was nominated for an International Press Academy-Satellite Awards for Best Supporting Actress (Motion Moving-picture show),^{[ verification needed ]} and won the National Gild of Film Critics Awards for the aforementioned category.^{[ verification needed ] [51] [ better source needed ] [52]}
