late to the podcast

I have been a fan of Doc Watson since my uncle gave me my first guitar when I was 12 years old. I concentrated on his music and the various techniques that he had mastered, but knew very little of the man himself.

I was googling Doc recently trying to find out more about this genius and American treasure when I discovered that there was a biography written about him. Of course, I checked Audible to see if the book was there and found this podcast instead.

I knew a little about the man-- his entire life spent in Northwestern North Carolina, the loss of his beloved son, and a couple of antedotes-- but not very much else. I was so glad to see there was a podcast where this information would be dispensed and discussed. However. I am now heartsick to see that there has only been one episode and that the episode is three years old!!

what happened to the series? will there ever be anymore? I think a podcast is the idea platform for discussing the life of a person whose own education was based largely on oral tradition.
