From the Word of the Day feed in the right-hand column:
raconteur \rack-on-TUR\, noun: One who excels in telling stories and anecdotes.
He has an excellent raconteur's mind, memory, vocabulary and tongue, brings in a story just at the right time, in the right manner, serves his anecdotes perfectly either piping hot or ice-cold as tragedies.-- Anatole Pohorilenko and James Crump, When We Were Three
The pronunciation makes me think of Dolly Parton travelling from concert to concert.
