Studs Terkel, Chicago native and urban sage, speaks up for the little guy, the salt of the earth and your average work-a-day Joe. With a keen eye towards humanity, and a razor-sharp tongue, Studs gives us his idea of "work and play" (two terms that he does not think are mutually exclusive). After only a few minutes of speaking time, Studs, at the ripe age of 85, quickly turns to the audience for a question and answer session that will leave you laughing and inspired. Listen to this classic 1997 lecture.
