This five-minute radio gem is a listener favorite.  Listeners across the country tune in each weekday as host Garrison Keillor recounts the highlights of that day in history and reads a short poem or two.

One of America's most beloved radio hosts and acclaimed humorists, Garrison Keillor has been the host of A Prairie Home Companion since 1974 and of The Writer's Almanac since 1996.  A noted author, Garrison has written more than a dozen books, including Lake Wobegon Days , The Book of Guys, Love Me, and Homegrown Democrat.  He has been honored with numerous awards for his contributions to radio, television and literature, including the National Humanities Medal in 1999, and election to the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
