Happy 70th Birthday: Garrison Keillor

Who he? I would guess that few people in the UK would readily identify Garrison Keillor as an American author of some rather whimsical books about a fictional place called Lake Wobegone. Fewer still would know that he's been the presenter of a radio programme, The Prairie Home Companion, for many years. I used to enjoy listening to it when I travelled to the USA on a regular basis and now I often dip into a show via the internet. Why do I like it? It's witty, literate, urbane and describes an unfamiliar world. There's nothing quite like it on UK radio. Long may he continue broadcasting. Happy birthday, GK.
