The Adventures of Guy Noir
Radio Private Eye

by Garrison Keillor



      Garrison Keillor is well-known for his down home humor and witty commentary about his home state, Minnesota. His radio show, which can be heard on many stations both on the radio and the web, is a big hit in every town he and his crew visit for each taping. The "Guy Noir" skits are definitely an audience favorite and, in accordance with the "if you supply, they will demand more" method that inhabits every pore of the entertainment industry, HighBridge Audio has released a compilation of 2CDs filled with Keillor's infamous "Guy Noir" skits for devoted fans and newbies alike to enjoy and laugh over to the point of tears. From the governor of California to the President of the United States, no one is safe from being made into a satirical character for an episode of this classy, hilarious sketch.

I was first introduced to Garrison Keillor's radio show via BBC 7 on the radio section of my media player. Ever since then, I've been hooked. The "Guy Noir" sketches have always been my favorite next to his stories and updates about Minnesota. I was thrilled when I got the chance to review this audio selection. I recommend it to anyone who's a fan of the classic radio shows from the early days, and satirical humor about the world we live in and the people who have found a place in its history.
