Garrison Keillor is one of the best story tellers I have ever listened to. He has talked about retiring and hasn't been narrating the "Writer's Almanac lately. It will be like losing Paul Harvey when he quits.

The July 27 piece is one of his best. Click on the headphone icon under it.
I agree, Bull. Garrison Keillor is the best. The wife and I have seen most of his 'Prairie Home Companion' DVD's. We love the guy. He's a very busy man doing his concerts all over the world from what I understand... here is his 2014 schedule:

This is a scene from A PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION, the movie based on the long-running public radio show.
