This is a weekly podcast by an English fellow/musical mensch/writer named Andrew Hickey.
It is completely free*, completely DIY, and I'm completely hooked because this guy really, really does the research and makes fantastic connections/has amazing insights.
At the moment Mr. Hickey is up to episode #135 (circa 1965) but every single episode so far is readily available, either at his website or through the usual podcatchers.
At the risk of sowing family discord, here is a fairly recent favourite (#109) about how Peter, Paul and Mary came to be - and before those in the know, and/or the ghost of Dave Van Ronk, start shaking their first at at Albert Grossman, don't forget that most of us probably wouldn't know about Dylan either without big Al)...

Knowledge Network had a Martin Scorcese production called "The Blues" the other night -- it must have been 2 hours long and the focus was the British scene and all those black blues guys from the US heading over to Britain to make music with a lot of Brits you'll recognize who loved the blues too.
Lots of "names" lots of faces to recognize and some great interviews. I enjoyed Eric Clapton's perspective, especially when he brought up his discover of the "Music from Big Pink" album.
I hope they repeat it because there was so much info/music to digest.
Thanks for the tip on that one Lulymay--
Mr. Hickey goes through how and why that importation happened in the UK. It was initially driven by the efforts of one guy, Chris Barber. Those efforts are detailed in Hickey's episode #108.
