Garrison Keillor has written a history of radio in St. Paul Minneapolis. He ought to know, he was in radio for many years, recreating the glory days on his own A Prairie Home Companion starting in 1974. But this book is a little more racy than his typical home show so that made it all the more fun. Poking fun at the locals and the stars on radio, he exposes all their humaness and weaknesses. You have to like Frank White, the naive young man who stars his career in radio, and grows wise to the older generation. He learns when to stand on his own feet and branch out into the world of television in the early 50's. Garrison's own voice on the book on tape is pitch perfect, his droll sense of humor matching the story. A hit.
