Behind The Nationwide Search To Revisit Studs Terkel’s ‘Division Street’

from In the Loop with Sasha-Ann Simons

Studs Terkel’s 1967 book Division Street: America was an oral history chronicling Chicago life at the time, with a cross-section of residents sharing their thoughts, feelings, dreams and fears. A new seven-part podcast series now revisits Terkel’s Division Street, to answer the question: “What happened to those people and their hopes and dreams?” Through interviews with the descendants of some of the 71 Chicagoans Terkel highlighted, Division Street, Revisited picks up the baton of Terkel’s audio storytelling legacy. Reset sits down with the creators of the podcast Mary Schmich and Melissa Harris to find out more. For a full archive of Reset interviews, head over to wbez.org/reset.
