In the debut episode of Exploring the Blues in Chicago, host Brett David Stewart introduces the program and its overarching endeavor: to shine a spotlight on the Windy City’s most beloved music genre. This podcast will feature a series of interviews from industry professionals, artists, and fans to craft an understanding of the past, present, and future of Chicago blues. Before delving into those interviews, however, Stewart provides some brief historical context to lay a foundation for what is to come! Four full-length episodes will follow this debut, available immediately on this podcast feed.
