senoritafishI would think it helps to be female to appreciate Garrison Keillor's voice, and also an appreciation for storytelling, rather than just entertainment.
I think what I like about it is that it is gently funny, without beating you over the head with the humor. It is about everyday life, and growing up in small town where things are simpler, and picking tomatoes with your sister and throwing a rotten one at her butt. It's appealing whether you grew up in small town and it strikes a chord with you, or you didn't and wish you could live someplace like that now. Intermixed with the humor are often moments of poignancy like In Memory of My Cat Ralph, and the music, whether good or bad, is usually pretty diverse.
If you prefer your humor more like that of Chris Rock, who is funny, but makes me seasick with his constant pacing and my ears hurt because of his high volume delivery, I can see where Prairie Home Companion would have limited appeal.
