iPhone/iPad Apps

If you’re trying to listen on a mobile device, like Apple’s iPhone or iPad, you’ll need to download an App to hear the show. We recommend the Public Radio Player (iTunes link). Once you’ve installed the player, you’ll need to find a station that broadcasts Prairie Home Companion.

Podcast

Many listeners have been asking us to make A Prairie Home Companion available as a podcast. We are unable to do so at this point in time.

The reason we cannot offer the whole show up for podcast is that we feature many different bands and musicians on our show. As such, their intellectual property is being broadcast to the listening audiences. We would have to get each artists’ permission, not only to distribute their music in this way, but they would also have to be comfortable with the fact that it could be shared easily.

However, you can subscribe to The News from Lake Wobegon, Garrison Keillor’s monologue.
