ELFM Summer Broadcast 2019: Access All Areas

Few people in the history of radio accessed more areas of the human spirit than the great Chicago free-spirit and oral historian Studs Terkel. ELFM’s Peter Spafford talks with Tony Macaluso about his experiences helping build the digital archive of 5,600 radio programmes created by Studs Terkel after he died at the age of 96 in 2008. Terkel chose as his epitaph, “Curiosity did not kill this cat!” and this radio programme celebrates his ever impertinent spirit with snippets of conversations with blues musician Big Bill Broonzy, gospel singer Mahalia Jackson, writers James Baldwin and Nelson Algren and reflections on loving a city that can never love you.

Mick (Episode 22) recommended I get in touch with Tony, as he had recently moved over from Chicago and become co-director of Chapel FM - an arts centre and radio station based in East Leeds. With a background in journalism, theatre and radio, Tony kindly shared with me many of his experiences from how the impact of watching Tiananmen Square on television lead to starting a student theatre group in Wuhan, to starting to work at WFMT radio and developing the Studs Terkel Radio Archive - a collection of well over a thousand local radio programmes by Chicago legend Studs Terkel who interviewed many of the great characters of the 20th century.We discuss the medium of radio, its relationship to theatre, podcasts, and how specific local-level activity and oral histories can have equal universal appeal and power; and beginning to ask “what does it mean to not be a bystander in the city that you live in?”
