“After all these years, we're starting to get the hang of doing this show and feeling like we're ready for the big screen, ” says Garrison Keillor. “Let people see what Dusty and Lefty and Guy Noir look like, and how the guy does the sound effects, and make sure the News from Lake Wobegon is not read from a script. It’s a radio show that has lasted 35 years and now you can see why.”
