Michael Perry’s Final Visit to The Larry Meiller Show

Michael Perry’s Final Visit to The Larry Meiller Show

From Mike: In my last-ever interview with Wisconsin Public Radio legend Larry Meiller, we discussed fatherhood, Population 485 being optioned for a Broadway musical, the power of empathy and kindness, the surprising success and deep connections of Forty Acres Deep, and the improbable mentors who showed us the path before the path was clear…including Larry’s anecdote about the mentor who gave him advice about how to talk on the radio that led to a 59 year career.

You can listen to the interview HERE.

Larry reminisces with Wisconsin author Michael Perry. Then, we celebrate the music of 1967 — the first year Larry was on the radio — with Tom Wilmeth, a recurring guest and music aficionado.

Telling stories about life in Wisconsin

The most touching and humorous stories are often those about everyday life. Whether it’s the joys or challenges of parenting, working or spending time with friends and neighbors, those tales speak to us on a very human level. Few people have more of an eye for that than Michael Perry. We catch up with this Wisconsin author.

The music of 1967: a playlist to honor Larry’s first year on the radio

The year of 1967 is often referred to as the “Summer of Love.” That spring, Larry made his debut on the WPR airwaves! We travel back to that moment in time with our friend Tom Wilmeth, who has a playlist of hits from 1967. Find Tom’s 1967 playlist here.
