1. Show's okay, but Garrison is a bit of a tool
I can take him in 1/2 hour doses.

However, he does have a cool bookshop: http://www.commongoodbooks.com

3. I like his "Writer's Almanac" but can't stand APHC
Whew. I was afraid that I was the only Liberal who doesn't love it.

4. same here
I've never liked it, but then I can be a real misanthrope some days. I love humanity, it's people I can't stand.

2. I like some of Garrison's writing, but I don't like his radio show.

5. I used to find it mildly amusing.
Now I dive for the dial whenever it comes on.

I'd rather listen to a pledge drive.

The show elicits the same feelings in me as the ones I get when stuck for a week at my in-law's house.

Keillor's insistence on singing along with every musical act, in his wavery weak baritone, makes me want to puke.
