As many here know, two years ago I uploaded a series of 12 one-hour video lectures on blues themes under the rubric "Blues Talk." Those lectures are still on YouTube and they can all be accessed through the Blues Talk page on this website. (It's located down near the bottom of the index.)
After several requests, I finally converted the videos to mp3 form (192 mb/sec) and am making them available as a big zip file for the price of $5.
They're perfect for long drives or long walks (or runs).
Blues Talk lectures
Topics covered in each lecture are as follows:
Blues Talk 1: starting the conversation
Blues Talk 2: blues conditions
Blues Talk 3: "bluesmen," "folkloric melancholy," and blues feelings
Blues Talk 4: blues expressiveness and the blues ethos
Blues Talk 5: W.C. Handy and the "birth" of the blues
Blues Talk 6: Langston Hughes and early blues poetry
Blues Talk 7: Zora Neale Hurston and southern blues culture
Blues Talk 8: the devil and the blues, Part I
Blues Talk 9: the devil and the blues, Part II
Blues Talk 10: blues form, portraiture, and power
Blues Talk 11: the blues revival and the Black Arts movement
Blues Talk 12: blues and the postmodern condition
