\"\"Maybe you know the name Studs Terkel from his books, such as Working<\/em> or The Good War<\/em>. Maybe you’ve seen him in the occasional film role. Maybe you’ve seen him pop up in documentaries. It doesn’t matter, because the man could do anything and, through his long life, often did<\/a>. But he had a particular talent for conversation, the ability to talk to anyone about anything, which he parlayed not only into his best-selling books but also into a radio series on WFMT in Chicago.<\/span>1<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

And, as it happens, our man Dave Garroway stopped in to talk with Studs one day in 1974<\/a>. Dave and Studs had known one another since the late 1940s, both as up-and-coming disc jockeys, and subsequently as television stars in the Chicago School firmament (Dave on Garroway at Large<\/em>, Studs on Studs’ Place<\/em>). Thanks to the wonderful Studs Terkel Radio Archive<\/span>2<\/sup><\/a><\/span>, you can listen to the two old friends talk about a number of things: broadcasting, jazz, race relations and more. Take about an hour and let yourself be entranced by a master communicator and a master conversationalist.<\/span>3<\/sup><\/a><\/span> (Then when you’re done listening to that interview, take a look at the other interviews available in this magnificent collection<\/a> and enjoy them, too. There’s only about 5,600 shows to go through, so make some time.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
