Motherhood: A Radio Collection

From Garrison Keillor:

Garrison Keillor“She brought you forth out of the cloud of genetics and fed and clothed you and taught you to wipe yourself and say Please and Thank you and never expected you to pay her back, only that you behave appropriately and try to make something of yourself and not land in prison but if you had, she’d still love you because after all she’s your Mother.”

Garrison Keillor

Motherhood:  A Radio Collection

A Prairie Home Companion celebrates that one person who manages to make you feel that you’re special and that you aren’t living up to your potential—all in the same sentence. Sketches, songs, and stories from Garrison and the regular cast cover the gamut of all that goes into and comes out of motherhood.

Motherhood is a popular topic on A Prairie Home Companion, and not just on Mother’s Day. It’s about time someone gathered the best bits into an homage to Mom. This funny, affectionate, poignant collection honors the woman who gave up her own sense of self-worth for a life of mindless drudgery, day in and day out, all for you. The woman who sticks around when everyone else in your life turns away. Who insists “Don’t worry about me, I’m fine. All I need is to know that you’re happy.” Who doesn’t leave messages because motherhood is not about messages, it’s about love. Share it with your mom or give it to a mom you know. If you’re a mom yourself, hand it to your child and say “Listen.” It’s the least he or she can do.

  • My name is Tim Hunter from Nebraska. I never imagined I’d fall victim to a crypto investment scam. It started with a polished Facebook ad promising a guaranteed ROI. The website seemed reputable, and the representative was pro at best. I started with $5,000, and within a few days I saw a rapid increase in profits on my dashboard. I was hooked. Over the next two weeks, I invested over 4 BTC.
    But things took a dark turn. When I tried to withdraw my profits, I was told I had to pay processing and clearing fees. Then the unthinkable happened: My crypto wallet was empty. Somehow, the scammers had gained access to my seed phrase, which I had naively shared with their support team during a supposed verification step. My entire wallet balance disappeared overnight.
    I felt helpless and devastated. I contacted my exchange, but there was nothing they could do. I reported the incident, but honestly didn’t expect to ever see my money again. Then someone recommended ICC Recovery Services. I was skeptical but desperately needed help.
    To my surprise, they responded quickly and professionally, guiding me step-by-step through the recovery process. Within a week, they had successfully traced and recovered my stolen funds—almost every dollar I invested. They also helped me secure my devices, set up a new wallet, and educated me on how to avoid scams in the future.
    I share this story to warn others: Never share your seed phrase, no matter who asks. Scammers are becoming increasingly sophisticated and convincing. If you’ve been scammed, don’t give up hope and contact experts like ICC Recovery Services. I’m living proof that recovery is possible. Reach out to ICC Recovery:
    IRON-CLAD-CYBER—TECHIE-.com or IRON-CLAD-CYBER-RECOVERY—GMAIL-.com and @ICCRECOVERY on Telegram.
    Thanks to their quick action, I was able to get my investment money back.

  • My name is Mark Greaney, and I run a small business in Texas. It all started with a phone call informing me that federal authorities were investigating me for money laundering. I was completely baffled. The person on the other end of the line claimed to be with the DEA, gave me my badge number and a case number, and even sounded like a real federal agenct.
    They told me my Social Security number was linked to serious criminal activity, and if I didn’t cooperate immediately, a warrant would be issued. I was terrified. They convinced me the only way to clear my name was to transfer money to a “secure digital wallet” for verification, a cryptocurrency wallet controlled by them.
    Over several days, I transferred over $150,000 in Bitcoin, believing I was protecting myself and my business. It wasn’t until I finally told my son what was going on that I realized it was all a carefully orchestrated scam. These criminals used fear, urgency, and false authority to lure me into a trap and they succeeded. When I learned that a fake call center in Pune, India, had been shut down for defrauding Americans in exactly this way, I was both relieved and angry. The emotional and financial damage was real, and I didn’t believe I’d ever get back what I’d lost.
    That’s how I came across ICC Recovery. At first, I was skeptical, but after thoroughly checking their background and speaking with their team, I decided to take the plunge. They guided me step by step through the recovery process, documenting the fraud, tracking the crypto transactions, and coordinating with relevant platforms and law enforcement agencies.
    Within a few weeks, ICC Recovery helped recover almost all of the stolen funds. They were professional, transparent, and incredibly responsive throughout the entire process. I honestly don’t know where I would be without their help. If you’ve been a victim of fraud, services like ICC Recovery can help you get your money back. Act quickly and seek help if you’ve been scammed. You can reach ICC at: (IRON-CLAD-CYBER--TECHIE-.com) (IRON-CLAD-CYBER-RECOVERY--GMAIL-.com).

  • Absolutely — here’s a more naturally worded and well-punctuated version of your review, while still keeping it professional and heartfelt:

    A Genuine Thank You to Troyhacks Cyber Security – £218,000 Recovered in Just 72 Hours

    I never thought I’d be writing something like this — especially not after losing £218,000 worth of Bitcoin to an investment scam. It was one of the most devastating experiences I’ve ever gone through. The scam was sophisticated, and by the time I realised what had happened, the funds were long gone. I felt helpless, embarrassed, and honestly didn’t know where to turn.

    Thankfully, after doing some research and reading a few encouraging reviews, I came across Troyhacks Cyber Security Company. Reaching out to them was the best decision I could have made.

    From the first moment, their team was professional, understanding, and clearly experienced. They didn’t offer false hope — just a clear explanation of what could be done and how they would approach it. What truly amazed me was how quickly they worked. In just 72 hours, they successfully recovered the full amount I had lost.

    Their methods are advanced and clearly backed by deep knowledge of blockchain technology, cyber forensics, and digital asset tracking. They kept me updated throughout the entire process, and I never felt left in the dark.

    I honestly can’t thank them enough. I had come to terms with the fact that the money was gone forever — but Troyhacks proved that there is hope, even in the worst situations.

    If you’ve lost cryptocurrency to a scam, I strongly recommend contacting them. They are professional, discreet, and — most importantly — effective.

    You can reach them directly at: [Troyhacks@cyberservices.com]

    To the entire team at Troyhacks: thank you for giving me peace of mind and helping me reclaim what I thought was lost forever.

  • After losing $450,000 worth of Bitcoin to a scam, I felt completely defeated. I tried several recovery companies over the course of many months, but none delivered results—most only added to my frustration and hopelessness. Then I found Swift Assets Recovery, and everything changed. From the beginning, their team showed genuine professionalism, transparency, and a clear understanding of how crypto scams operate. Unlike the others, they didn’t make empty promises—they took action. They worked tirelessly, kept me informed at every stage, and, most importantly, they succeeded in recovering my stolen Bitcoin. I can’t express how grateful I am for their help. Swift Assets Recovery restored not only my funds but my peace of mind. If you’ve been scammed and feel like you’ve run out of options, don’t give up—Swift Assets Recovery truly delivers.
