RADIO DIARIES PRESENTS:
'Working' Then And Now: Studs Terkel's Book Interviews
Tickets $15 General Admission
Radio Diaries tells the extraordinary stories of ordinary life. Every summer Joe Richman, Founder and Executive Producer of NPR"s Radio Diaries introduces us to a new cast of characters and their unique stories.
In the early 1970’s, author Studs Terkel went around the country with a reel-to-reel tape recorder interviewing people about their jobs that formed the foundation for his book 'Working'. For decades, the tapes were packed away in Studs’ home office. The book became a bestseller and even inspired a Broadway musical – something rare for an oral history collection. Working struck a nerve, because it elevated the stories of ordinary people and their daily lives. Studs celebrated the un-celebrated.
Until now, few of the interviews have ever been heard before. Radio Diaries was given exclusive access to those recordings and now you can hear what they found in the archives: a jockey, a private investigator, a union worker, a telephone operator, a gravedigger, a hotel piano player, and more. Joe will also be presenting new interviews with some of those same people today.
