In Tribute to Louis Studs Terkel
WFMT honors one of its own and one of its greatest. May 16, 2012, brings the 100th anniversary of the birth of Studs Terkel. We'll mark the occasion with rarely heard programs, music and interviews fresh from the archives of the Chicago History Museum - with some material not heard since its original broadcast.
