    How to Survive: Lessons from 1960s Chicago

    Attacks on civil rights, economic anxiety, war abroad — the same things that worry Chicagoans today were also on people’s minds in the 1960s. That’s what emerges from Studs Terkel’s seminal oral history “Division Street: America.” The podcast “Division Street: Revisited” takes us back through those interviews and checks in with the subjects and their families 60 years later. Two of the show’s team members, Mary Schmich and Bill Healy, talk with host Jacoby Cochran about who Studs Terkel was and why these interviews still resonate. Want some more City Cast Chicago news?
