The magic of radio


I made a wonderful discovery lately. It's a radio show called "A Prairie Home Companion". I listened to it on WNYC National Public Radio on ITunes. This show has been going on for more than 20 years, but I only began to enjoy it a couple of weeks ago.

It's a live show hosted by Garrison Keillor and it features such a diverse and wonderful array of entertainment. Last night there was music by Ray Cooder, poetry, witty humor. This show exudes such great vibe, charm and ,yes, magic. For a couple of hours you are transported to a place where music, humor and the best of human nature meet. For a moment all that is negative and evil and controversial about the world is forgotten and replaced with all that is good about life.

Give it a shot one day. It plays on Saturdays at 6pm with an encore Sundays at noon.
