About this audiobook

See what WLT was "really like" before it became the radio station featured in the Robert Altman film.

In 1926, brothers Ray and Roy Soderbjerrg plunge into radio by founding Station WLT (With Lettuce and Tomato) in order to rescue their failing restaurant and become the Sandwich Kings of South Minneapolis. For the next twenty-five years, the "Friendly Neighbor" station produces a dazzling-not to mention, odd-array of shows and stars.

Brilliantly weaving together the real lives and radio lives of his characters, Garrison Keillor has given us a comic, poignant, and slightly steamy novel, full of romance, intrigue, tough business, and loose living.

Author

Garrison Keillor

Garrison Keillor, born in Anoka, Minnesota, in 1942, is an essayist, columnist, blogger, and writer of sonnets, songs, and limericks, whose novel Pontoon the New York Times said was “a tough-minded book . . . full of wistfulness and futility yet somehow spangled with hope”—no easy matter, especially the spangling. Garrison Keillor wrote and hosted the radio show A Prairie Home Companion for more than forty years, all thanks to kind aunts and good teachers and a very high threshold of boredom. In his retirement, he’s written a memoir and a novel. He and his wife, Jenny Lind Nilsson, live in Minneapolis and New York.

    Listened to an audio version of this read by Garrison Keillor. I could listen to him for hours on end. His voice lent such a warm feel to the story, I'm not sure that a reading would do as well as the audio.The way that Keillor build his characters makes them a believable as if they were friends of your own.
