Best of Studs Terkel   
Saturdays at 7:00 pm

Studs Terkel, 98.7FMT's "Free Spirit" worked at the station from 1952 to 1997, and "The Studs Terkel Program" was broadcast daily. Terkel interviewed Chicagoans and national and international figures that helped shape the past century. The program included guests who were politicians, writers, activists, labor organizers, performing artists, and architects. Terkel was remarkable in the depth of his personal knowledge of the diverse subjects explored on his program and his ability to get others to talk about themselves and what they do best.
