I had heard that they were planning on retiring a couple years ago, but the weekly Saturday episodes never bothered saying they were encore episodes, so I assumed they'd scraped those plans to retire.

I really wish Garrison Keillor would follow through on his promise of retiring... argh.

Sad. Hope it's still viable to keep doing reruns for a while.

Wouldn't they just keep doing Prairie Home Companion reruns in perpetuity just like they're doing with Car Talk so that old people don't stop sending in the checks?
