  values\, traditional songs\, and dry humor through his legendary\, critic
 ally acclaimed radio show A Prairie Home Companion. Over three million lis
 teners on more than 450 public radio stations now hear the show each week\
 , and millions more discovered the show through the hit 2006 film adaptati
 on\, which starred Keillor\, Meryl Streep\, Lily Tomlin\, and Lindsay Loha
 n.    He is also the author of many books\, including Lake Wobegon Days (1

 or (1999)\; Love Me (2003)\; Homegrown Democrat (2004)\; and Pontoon (2007

 lle\, he has performed with many orchestras\, including the Chicago\, Milw
