FTV 130 Studs Terkel: The Spoken Century
STUDS TERKEL 1912-2008
Stud Terkel, a great American has passed. In Stud’s memory, therefore, and culled from the vault of the Pacifica Radio Archives we present a compilation of Studs Terkel’s work. Told in the first person by Studs himself, his narrative takes us from the birth of the recording industry through the great depression; from the rise of unions, through two world wars, Korea, and the McCarthy era; from the 1960’s Civil Rights Movement, through the war in Vietnam.
As a tribute to Studs Terkel whose life was dedicated to chronicling American history in the moments of its creation and who recounted it with great insight, wit and humor, the Pacifica Radio Archives is proud to present Studs Terkel: The Spoken Century.
We will miss him.
From the Vault is presented as part of the Pacifica Radio Archives Preservation and Access Project.
