Working Together: Partnerships Create the Studs Terkel Radio Archive

Author: Meredith Counts (University of Michigan)

Abstract

Pulitzer Prize–winning radio host, author, activist, and oral historian Studs Terkel (1912–2008) shared conversations with leaders, artists, and regular people in his books, on TV, as a collaborator with early video producers, and in a 45-year career on Chicago radio station WFMT-FM. Many of those radio conversations, plus full searchable transcripts, are now accessible online at Studs Terkel Radio Archive (STRA). Launched in May 2018, it is hosted by WFMT at https://studsterkel.wfmt.com.
