| Garrison Keillor
From the American heartland to the vast urban centers, humorist, writer, and hard-core Minnesotan Garrison Keillor offers an old-time variety show as homespun as it is savvy. Broadcast weekly before a live audience, A Prairie Home Companion combines live music, radio theater, and yarns spun from the fictional Lake Wobegone, complete with cowboys, Norwegians, starving artists, Lutherans, jingles for Powdermilk Biscuits, weekly solos, and singalongs.

5:00 pm | All Things Considered |
| Steve Inskeep
At 5 p.m. ET on May 3, 1971, the first All Things Considered went on the air. In the three decades since, almost everything about the program has changed -- the hosts and producers, the length and time of the program, the equipment used, and the audience. But one thing remains the same: the determination to get the day's big stories on the air, and to bring them alive through sound and voice.
