In this new series, The Joe Show, host Joe Williams takes documentary-style deep dives into European literary communities. Join us in this premiere episode as Joe discovers how fado has evolved from an anonymous folk tradition into a highly literary, musical, and often political form. Joe travels between the two bastions of Portuguese fado, the cities of Coimbra and Lisbon, to speak on location with performers, authors and experts on fado's distinct regional variations. Guests include fado singer João Farinha; poet, lyricist, and editor Maria do Rosário Pedreira; fado singer Hélder Moutinho, and performers Lina & Raül Refree.
