This show was a REBROADCAST
The Original Performance Date was 1998-02-07

This week's classic rebroadcast: a gem from February 1998 at the Fitzgerald Theater in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Radio pioneer Studs Terkel joins us for a few stories and reads poems by Robert Frost and William Butler Yeats, and our friend and folksinger Jean Redpath performs "The Spinning Wheel" and "Women of Our Time." Plus: Guy Noir drowns his sorrows and chats with a former radio man at the Five Spot Bar, The Guy's All-Star Shoe Band plays "Fidgety Feet," and a message from Bertha's Kitty Boutique. In Lake Wobegon, the host recalls the Native Americans, government agents, Unitarian missionaries, and hippie farmers who've lived in Lake Wobegon over the years.
