WFMT content creators are petitioning to join 📢 and we’re doing it in the spirit of Studs Terkel, a legacy voice on our station and who played an essential role in the founding of SAG-AFTRA here in Chicago.

Studs is a broadcasting legend who joined the staff and WFMT in 1952, where his radio show ran until 1997. He interviewed countless guests ranging from Mahalia Jackson to Michael Tilson Thomas to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He had conversations with various other guests throughout this time discussing the subjects of labor unions and their benefits. We honor his work today!

“People are hungry for stories. It’s part of our very being. Storytelling is a form of history, of immortality too. It goes from one generation to another.” — Studs Terkel
