Powerful and uplifting. Beautifully told and produced, including original music. Even the theme music (“Will the Circle Be Unbroken”) invites listeners to be better people—like each of the subjects. Just what we need in today’s world.

Storytelling at its finest. I learned so much about my beloved city of Chicago but even more about the stories of the people that made it the city it was. Each story made you want to hear more and as Mary the host said, to listen to an ordinary persons life. It may surprise you. Loved this podcast so much.

This is beautifully executed. As an audio professional and long time Terkel fan, I have often thought that revisiting some of his subjects in this way had huge potential. And here the team have excelled, covering each person with nuance, depth, sensitivity and deep knowledge of Chicago. Lovely sound design and mixing too and hosted with great tone and style.
