SS: Where do you want this? Where's Tim Russell?

GK: Right behind you. Now Sue is turning clockwise and (KONK, TK PAIN) the plank hits Tom in the back of the head----

SS: What's wrong?

GK: Now she's turning back counter-clockwise and (KONK, TR PAIN) and the plank hits Tim right in the kisser and he's getting out the seltzer bottle! Look out! (SELTZER BLAST) And now Tom Keith has a cream pie (TK CHUCKLE) and he throws at Sue and she ducks and (SPLAT, TR REACTION). Having quite a wild time here at the radio show.

LIBERTY

Liberty:A Novel of Lake Wobegon A national holiday in Lake Wobegon is always gaudy and joyful. But what is going on between Clint Bunsen and Miss Liberty?
Everyone is here—Pastor Ingqvist, the Sons of Knute, Sister Arvonne of Our Lady of Perpetual Responsibility and her ocarina band, the Norwegian bachelor farmers, Dorothy and the Chatterbox Café, Wally in the Sidetrack Tap—as crowds converge on the little town to celebrate American independence, even as the chairman of the event broods on the great question of the day: Shall we struggle on valiantly here or shall we burst the bonds and find beautiful life in the golden west?



YOU WANT FRIES WITH THAT?

English Majors CD Set Scripts and bits from A Prairie Home Companion celebrate the secret society of men and women who possess excellent spelling and punctuation skills. (You know who you are.) Selections include "The Six-Minute Hamlet," a tribute to Emily Dickinson, a Guy Noir adventure that exposes an MFA scam, a riveting "Professional Organization of English Majors" drama, and guests Billy Collins, Robert Bly, Roy Blount Jr., and Calvin Trillin.
