The Writer's Almanac
Mon.-Fri., 6:35 a.m. on WAMU 88.5
The Writer's Almanac educates, entertains and inspires listeners with brief facts and poetry related to each day's date.
It celebrates the birthdays and works of poets, writers, composers, philosophers and historical figures. Host Garrison Keillor closes each show by reading a wildly diverse selection of poetry, from Keats and Shelley to Mother Goose.
