Blue me

Besides Swing is in the Air, a wonderful jazz podcast (it isn't limited to swing despite the title), the other podcast I never miss is The Roadhouse from Tony Steidler-Dennison. Tony puts out a professional-quality show even though it's home produced and he seems to have more blues recording labels on board providing material every week. They should get on board. It's a great place to hear marvelous blues, from some of the bigger names, yes, but mostly from a lot of fine artists I've never heard of anyway and whose disks I probably wouldn't have picked up otherwise. (Candye Kane and Watermelon Slim come to mind.)
