When we started our podcast in July 2023, we weren't sure how long we'd go for. Would people be interested in our guests and what we had to share?

After two years, we're still going strong and growing in listenership every week, so it's safe to say people are interested! We can't wait to bring you another year of episodes, starting with our first ever episode recorded in front of a live audience. Keep your eyes peeled for that coming very soon, subscribe, drop a review of the podcast, and share with your blues-loving friends!

Last weekend, we had the privilege of attending Mile High Blues and interviewing the musicians who performed at the event. It was our first time doing live audiences for our interview recordings, and it couldn't have been a better experience! If you couldn't attend the event live, we'll have a recap for you over the next few months' of episodes. And if they inspire you, then you should definitely attend next year! The care and love that these Denver organizers put into building this event shows in every detail of the weekend, and it made it a lovely experience for all involved.
