Introducing The Studs Terkel Archive Podcast

My favorite pandemic pastime has been tuning in to WFMT's Studs Terkel Radio Archive.

This weekend, I repackaged its collection as a podcast feed. It will deliver an interview from the legendary Chicago broadcaster several times a week.

Subscribe now at studs.show.

Like my other archival experiments, all of the code that powers the site is open source on GitHub.

The repository takes advantage of GitHub's powerful new Actions framework to automatically republish the RSS feed, and ship out the latest podcasts, at midnight each night.

Episodes will be released on the anniversary of their broadcast. The feed is preloaded with December interviews from years past.

The first: Shel Silverstein's Dec. 12, 1963 visit. He hates on Chicago so hard, Studs' legendary empathy is put to the test.

Subscribe today at studs.show to receive January interviews with Saul Alinsky, Harry Belafonte, Gwendolyn Brooks and more. That's studs.show.
