Garrison Keillor: And now this message from the Executive Vice-President for Marketing here at Prairie Home Productions, Mr. Lee Lynch.... Lee.


Lee Lynch: Thank you, Carson. It's a brand-new season of A Prairie Home Companion and all of us in the Prairie Home family are tremendously excited. Our six vice-presidents and I went on a two-week retreat and brainstorming session in Provence and it was productive and we've decided to reposition the show and restructure our strategy to meet the challenges of the shift of paradigms and set new standards of excellence, and to do that, we're going to change the name of the show to PraiHocom.


GK: PraiHocom?


LL: That's right.


GK: Do you know what hokum means?


LL: The name is PraiHocom.


GK: Why?


LL: Market surveys show that PraiHocom will attract 16.3 million evangelicals to the audience within the first six months.


GK: That's insane.


LL: We'll see about that. Here's a PowerPoint show I've prepared for the Public Radio Station Managers Conference......


GK: What?


LL: Dim the lights, please.


GK: It's radio, they're already dim.
