| Description: |
The archives include audio-recordings of interviews, readings and musical programs created by Studs Terkel and aired during his tenure at WFMT Radio from the early 1950s through 1999. During a radio career spanning five decades, Terkel interviewed individuals from every walk of life - from public figures like Martin Luther King, Jr., and U.S. president Jimmy Carter to the proverbial "man on the street." As a result, the archives include a wide range of discussions that narrate the cultural, literary, and political history of Chicago and the United States in the second half of the 20th century. |
