Podcast
Many listeners have been asking us to make A Prairie Home Companion available as a podcast. We are unable to do so at this point in time.
The reason we cannot offer the whole show up for podcast is that we feature many different bands and musicians on our show. As such, their intellectual property is being broadcast to the listening audiences. We would have to get each artists' permission, not only to distribute their music in this way, but they would also have to be comfortable with the fact that it could be shared easily.
We do have Garrison Keillor's monologue, The News from Lake Wobegon available in podcast form. You can subscribe to it here.
