Holiday Shopping Deadlines
There still is time to get gifts for this holiday season! In fact, ShopGarrisonKeillor is still adding new items, including the socks below and Garrison's humorous take on aging called 'Serenity at 70, Gaiety at 80: Why You Should Keep on Getting Older,' and watching stock levels on existing products. Our deadline for ordering this holiday season for in-stock merchandise is 11:59 pm on Sunday December 12, 2021.
After this date, we will try to get packages to homes as quickly as possible!
Thanks so much for considering our shop for your holiday gift season! It's a great way to support the production of The Writer's Almanac podcast. |

A Prairie Home Companion Socks Peter Rosen once produced a documentary about Garrison Keillor entitled 'The Man on the Radio in the Red Shoes.' What the title failed to realize is that Garrison not only wore red shoes on-stage for the APHC shows, he also wore a red tie and red socks to match. Now, you can wear a pair of Prairie Home socks and keep your feet warm on those cool winter nights. Knit Jacquard socks are made with a woven imprint combining both the original logo and the microphone from the more recent logo. One size fits all. |

The Lake Wobegon Virus Softcover |
Now in paperback. Bestselling author and humorist Garrison Keillor returns to one of America’s most beloved mythical towns — a town beset by a contagion of alarming candor.
A mysterious virus has infiltrated the good people of Lake Wobegon, transmitted via unpasteurized cheese made by a Norwegian bachelor farmer, the effect of which is episodic loss of social inhibition. Mayor Alice, Father Wilmer, Pastor Liz, the Bunsens and Krebsbachs, formerly taciturn elders, burst into political rants, inappropriate confessions, and rhapsodic proclamations, while their teenagers watch in amazement. Meanwhile, a wealthy outsider is buying up farmland for a Keep America Truckin’ motorway and amusement park, estimated to draw 2.2 million visitors a year. Clint Bunsen and Elena the hometown epidemiologist to the rescue, with a Fourth of July Living Flag and sweet corn feast for a finale. |

| From the Archives: The Best of 1982 (newest CD release) |
Mr. Keillor’s tales of the fictional Lake Wobegon, Minn., its people, and the businesses that “sponsor” the show are the ties that bind the show together. Listeners share in the ups and (mostly) downs of the Lake Wobegon Whippets baseball team, study the menu of Dorothy’s Chatterbox Cafe, wonder how Lake Wobegon’s favorite daughter, Barbara Ann Bunson, is doing at the University of Minnesota, cheer the attributes of Powdermilk Biscuits (made from whole wheat grown in the rich bottomlands of the Lake Wobegon valley by Norwegian bachelor farmers).
From the Archives is a deep dive into the PHC archive, unearthing stories season by season. And here is the collection featuring the stories from 1982. Lake Wobegon experiences extreme cold and shuts people in their homes to feuds, frustrations, plumbing issues, and other crazy antics. There are memories of romance with Donna Bunsen at the laundromat and the Diener boy’s first drag on a cigarette, landing his car in the pond. In fall, we hear about the demise of Irene Anderson’s 20 oz. tomato and the avalanche of squash from the attic. Christmas is nearly perfect with the exception of Einer’s reading of the Gospel. 3 CDs.
