You probably don't get "A Prairie Home Companion" in the UK, but it has
been on the radio here since 1974. The "News from Lake Wobegon" bits
are priceless (not only Lutheran humor, there is also "Our Lady of
Perpetual Responsibility Catholic Church"). All quite funny,
non-offensive humor (at least to one with a Scandinavian heritage).

I knew that spelling didn't look quite right.
