Product Description
From the 1950s through 1997, Louis “Studs” Terkel, bestselling author of Hard Times, Working, The Great War, Coming of Age, and eight other books, hosted a daily one-hour show on WFMT Radio in Chicago. This nationally syndicated, Peabody Award-winning program was an ideal showcase for his curmudgeonly wit, his maverick opinions, and his genius as an interviewer. The 48 interviews in this collection, span Terkel’s five decades on radio and encompass a wide range of entertainers, scientists, writers and thinkers, including Dorothy Parker, Pete Seeger, Bob Woodward, Simone de Beauvoir, and many more.

Studs Set the Bar 
Celebrity interviews: Studs did it first! Studs may still be the best! The interviews on this collection do not leave the listener wanting more. Studs does it »just right«! He is the master of the obvious – he asks the questions that we'd ask if the subjects were sitting at our dinner table. On this collection he talks to Gore Vidal, Bertrand Russell, Woody Allen, Dorothy Parker and Pete Seeger, just to name a few. Studs was non-confrontational though he never failed to ask the hard quesions. This is a refreshing collection of interviews with important and interesting subjects conducted by a master. Well worth your time and money … bg

A great collection of a master interviewer
Studs Terkel is one of the great historians, letting the stories be told by those who actually witnessed the event. Terkel is one of the foremost oral historians, and these interviews are only a mere insight into the amount of work he has done and recorded.

Breathtaking!!!
These interviews do NOT disappoint!!! They are concise, interesting and provide a clear crystal-like glimpse into each person Stud's interviews. I wish there were more. Studs manages to be down to earth yet not fawning. Charlie Rose, take lesson from Studs! When will there be more???

so so and wonderful 
The interviews are wonderful but … only small excerpts are provided on 6 cds. Would and could have been a more comprehensive box of his (Studs) works if MP3s were employed and the entire interviews provided.
