Great interview and audio clips from this great American and radio
broadcasting pioneer at http://www.democracynow.org/

"The legendary radio broadcaster, writer, oral historian, raconteur
and chronicler of our times, Studs Terkel, died last month at the age
of ninety-six in his home town of Chicago. Today, a Democracy special
tribute: we spend the hour on Studs Terkel. Over the years, Terkel has
been a regular guest on Democracy Now! We play a wide-ranging
interview we did with him in 2005. We also feature a rare recording of
Terkel interviewing the Rev. Martin Luther King at the bedside of the
gospel singer Mahalia Jackson. “My curiosity is what saw me through,”
Terkel said in 2005. "What would the world be like, or will there be a
world? And so, that’s my epitaph. I have it all set. Curiosity did not
kill this cat. And it’s curiosity, I think, that has saved me thus
far.”
