Description:
Radio Mirror (later known as Radio and Television Mirror) was a fan magazine for radio listeners and later TV viewers that includes profiles of the stars, visits to radio and television studios, and program listings. The early years in the 1930s show the interaction of motion pictures, recordings, the stage, radio and even politics. The role of radio in World War II is well covered in the 1940s, and by the 1950s the focus shifts to television and a new generation of personalities. -- David Pierce, 2013

Besides using his own name on the show, Studs Terkel is .litferent in many another way from the average star. just as Studs' Place is an out-of-the-ordinary kind of television program. Studs, for instance, reverses the usual audience-performer relationship. Instead of accepting as his due the plaudits of his viewers, he's a one-man fan club for humankind in general. As he puts it, he has "a strong case of hero worship for the average man." As for the show, its variation from the ordinary run lies in the fact that it's unrehearsed in the usual sense of the word.
