En la primavera de 1926, los hermanos Soderbjerg, Ray y Roy, se aventuran en la radio y lanzan la estación WLT (With Lettuce and Tomato) para rescatar su restaurante en quiebra y convertirse en los Reyes del Sándwich del sur de Minneapolis. Durante el siguiente cuarto de siglo, la estación "Friendly Neighbor" produce una deslumbrante variedad de espectáculos y estrellas, incluyendo a Leo LaValley, Dad Benson, Wingo Beals, Slim Graves y Little Buddy, la estrella infantil fumadora en cadena Marjery Moore, y el locutor de béisbol ciego Buck Steller. Francis With, un joven tímido de Dakota del Norte, cautivado por la radio, entra en WLT a través de su tío Art y rápidamente se convierte en la mano derecha de los Soderbjerg. Pronto Francis es un locutor en ciernes adorado por Lily Dale, el ruiseñor lisiado de WLT mantenido oculto a sus fans, cuyo despido contribuye a la caída de la estación. Y luego llega la televisión.
Gary Edward "Garrison" Keillor is an American author, singer, humorist, voice actor, and radio personality. He created the Minnesota Public Radio (MPR) show A Prairie Home Companion, which he hosted from 1974 to 2016. Keillor created the fictional Minnesota town Lake Wobegon, the setting of many of his books, including Lake Wobegon Days and Leaving Home: A Collection of Lake Wobegon Stories. Other creations include Guy Noir, a detective voiced by Keillor who appeared in A Prairie Home Companion comic skits. Keillor is also the creator of the five-minute daily radio/podcast program The Writer's Almanac, which pairs poems of his choice with a script about important literary, historical, and scientific events that coincided with that date in history.
