Must Listen!
This is an absolutely wonderful, riveting piece and such a perfect tribute to the life and work of Studs Terkel. It's full of great stories, vivid details, beautiful music. You will get not only a unique look at the life and work of Terkel, but like with his work, a kind of sketch of the 20th century. This is a great piece to play for your listeners, or download and listen yourself. Give yourself the gift of an hour to listen to this program!
