Ahh...this is wonderful. I'm sitting at my laptop, logged into Sirius Satellite Radio listening to Prairie Home Companion on NPR. I almost feel like I'm sitting around an old radio listening to one of those great old radio shows. All I need now is a rocking chair...and a fire place.... I love it when the modern and the old timey meet!!!

| I love PHC. I listen to the Sunday broadcast all the time, and I download Garrison Keillor's "News from Lake Woebegon" every week to my iPod. I know how you feel about modern and old-timey coming together...XM satellite radio has a channel devoted to old radio programs like "The Shadow, "Gunsmoke," etc. I like to listen to it on my way to/from work. |

I love Prairie Home Companion, too. For Christmas, my husband and I bought ourselves an Atwater Kent floor radio from 1933. They only made a few of these gorgeous old wood cabinet radios before the depression made everybody buy cheap and they went out of business. I can just see a family sitting around this radio listening to Amos & Andy, and The Shadow. I have it tuned in to a station that plays '40s, 50s, and a little 60s (Sammy, Dean,Goulet, etc.) and it's on all day. It's a treasure that I'm very grateful for.

On the way back from Miss Wilma's this evening, we caught a show from Western Kentucky Univ's public radio station called "Old Scratchy Records"...it was like we were listening to a victrola! They WERE scratchy!!!
