At least once a week

Being born in Minnesota with Norwegian and Swedish ancestors - I must say that Garrison helps keep me sane and mostly guilt-free. His description of the Norwegian-American-Minnesotan psyche is just perfect! It is so good and so necessary to laugh at yourself at least once a week.

A sparkling experience

I'm sure it's a sign of my advancing age, but there is nothing funnier to me on radio or television than PHC. I've always thought that it's much tougher to make somone laugh in a gentle and thoughtful way than it is to get laughter by over-the-top mannerisms, juvenilia, bodily functions, etc. Sparkling wit with a live audience that enhances the experience rather than ruining it, PHC is a good part of all my weekends.

Transcendental radio

Somehow the understated humour of this lovely radio show trancends national boundaries, age and music categories. I hear it on holiday at the bach, and it makes me smile for the whole day... now how often can you say that?
