Behind The Scenes, And Sounds, Of 'A Prairie Home Companion'

As "A Prairie Home Companion" creator Garrison Keillor wraps up his decades-long run at the helm this year, Here & Now today begins a two-day goodbye to the show. Here & Now's Robin Young paid a visit to "Prairie Home" backstage at Tanglewood, the last live broadcast before host Keillor leaves.

Today's segment features a conversation with Fred Newman, the show's sound effects artist, about the show, his skill set and how he comes up with all the wonderful, zany audio highlights of his act.
