A Praire Home Companion archive is back!

It's at the old location http://www.prairiehome.org

I wonder if the old method of downloading episode still works.

I don't know what your old method was but you can just View Page Source, find the mp3 url, and download it. For example:

https://play.publicradio.org/api-2.0.1/o/phc_rebroadcast/2017/11/25/aphc_gk_rb_20171125_128.mp3

This URL works. You must plug in the YEAR, MONTh, DATE where indicated. The chosen episode DL's in seconds.

http://167.88.156.221/phc/YYYY/MM/DD/phc_yyyymmdd_128.mp3

I never knew it was down.
I listened to this quite frequently on the radio some years ago.

It seems that both urls work to download the show. I think the urls that contain the word
rebroadcast
are new urls that might only work for a limited number of special "rebroadcast".
So both of these urls should download the same exact show:
https://play.publicradio.org/api-2.0.1/o/phc_rebroadcast/2017/11/25/aphc_gk_rb_20171125_128.mp3
http://167.88.156.221/phc/2017/11/25/phc_20171125_128.mp3
(above url based on
http://167.88.156.221/phc/yyyy/mm/dd/phc_yyyymmdd_128.mp3
which now works again).
I guess Minnesota Public Radio decided not to badger the poor old man (Garrison Keillor) any more.
Minnestoa Public Radio needs to delete these website urls that reveal how they badgered him:

Those look more to me like public statements from MPR about canceling a business relationship for cause.

I just tried a non-rebroadcast episide, Dec. 12, 2015, and got this url from View Page Source:
https://play.publicradio.org/api-2.0.1/o/phc/2015/12/12/phc_20151212_128.mp3

With the links I gave, you need to know if an episode was a rebroadcast before building the url. That might be useful if you are downloading all episodes and don't want repeats.
