The legendary radio broadcaster, writer and oral historian Studs Terkel has died at the age of 96 in Chicago. Over the years Terkel has been a regular guest on Democracy Now!In 2005, Studs Terkel appeared on Democracy Now! shortly after undergoing open heart surgery.

And it’s curiosity, I think, that has saved me thus far.”
