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.

A Classic March 26, 2010
James F. Mccaughan (Santa Cruz, CA)
These are the voices who shaped much of the latter half of the 20th Century. And Studs Terkel inimitable style of interviewing brings out the human side of those he interviews.

a nice popular history of the mid 20th century. Interesting to hear how timeless some of the attitudes are...always interesting driving CD.
Studs Terkel Voices December 7, 2009
M. L. Lennon (Houston, TX USA)
For brief periods of time I shared moments with people I've read, saw on TV, film, listened to - some I've admired, some I wasn't too sure of, but these little glimpses into the past, into moments of time are magical - the sounds of everyday life, the coffee being drunk, the cigarette inhaled, an intake of breath, the traffic outside a Manhattan hotel window in a decade long since passed, an interviewee singing a song, telling a story, sharing a joke, moments of sadness, laughter - none of it polished, rehearsed, plastic and perfect, all of it 'real' - it's a wonderful CD and Studs Terkel a Master Interviewer.

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
 so so and wonderful January 29, 2009

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.
