Host & Archivist of the Blues — Documenting the Artists, Stories

Talking Blues is an ongoing audio archive documenting the voices, stories, and lived experience of blues musicians.

Hosted by broadcaster Matt Cooper, each episode preserves firsthand conversations with the artists themselves — exploring their influences, their craft, their gear, and the moments that shaped their path.

Some are widely known. Others are still being discovered. All are part of the lineage.

This podcast exists to ensure these voices are recorded while they are still here to tell their stories — creating a permanent record for listeners today and for future generations.
