A Prairie Home Companion for September 19, 2015
Description
This week: We kick off our season in downtown St. Paul, Minnesota, at the Fitzgerald Theater with a live broadcast and street dance. JD McPherson is doing double duty on the airwaves with rock'n'roll from Northeast Oklahoma, and outside after the broadcast at the street dance and meatloaf supper. Our Royal Academy of Radio Actors, Tim Russell, Sue Scott, and sound effects man Fred Newman are fired up and ready to go, and music director Rich Dworsky has The Exchange Street Band in fine fettle (Bernie Dresel on drums, bassist Larry Kohut, Richard Kriehn on mandolin and fiddle, and guitarist Dean Magraw). Minnesota's 2015 Teacher of the Year, Amy Hewlett-Olatunde, will tell about teaching immigrants and refugees, and the host will catch us up on all the latest News from Lake Wobegon. If you're in the Twin Cities, join us on Exchange Street at 5 p.m. to listen to the broadcast - the meatloaf supper will be served at 6 p.m. and music, dancing, and contests begin at 7 p.m. If you're elsewhere, join us on your local public radio station or watch a live stream of the show (5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Central Time) at prairiehome.org!
