Listeners will find Lutheran jokes aplenty in this collection of songs, sketches, and stories, all dealing with religion, from "A Prairie Home Companion." Songs like "I'm a Lutheran" and "Lutheran Polka" are the most offbeat treats. "Church Directory," about a photo project that goes horribly wrong, is the funniest of Garrison Keillor's four "News from Lake Wobegon" monologues included. There's also a Guy Noir sketch, with Keillor's barely hard-boiled detective tracking down a New Year's Eve party video. Anyone who has ever considered what Minnesota Lutherans do for fun and recreation--and that includes most of Keillor's listeners--will enjoy this themed assortment of tidbits from his long-running radio show.
