Harper Audio proudly traces its roots back to 1952, when Dylan Thomas first recorded for our Caedmon label. For more than five decades, HarperAudio/Caedmon has been synonymous not only with distinguished poets reading their works, but also with equally distinguished authors and readers performing classic and contemporary texts.

To honor Studs Terkel & his legacy, we are sharing stories about Working Now through a SoundCloud Fellowship demonstration project.
