Change the Channel!

Is it just me, or are there others out there who are equally annoyed by the down-home, non-threatening folksy wisdom dispatched by Garrison Keillor on Prairie Home Companion?

My local public radio station plays most of its shows twice a day, and on the weekends, it repeats some of the same shows on both days.  This means that at any given hour on the radio, A Prairie Home Companion is playing.  Two hours of Guy Noir.  Two hours of the ketchup board and that powdered milk song.  Two hours of an appreciative Minnesota audience knowingly getting down with their wholesome Lutheran roots.

I sort of can't stand it.
