BLACK MUSE is a weekly 30-minute video podcast series exploring the rich genealogy of Black culture. It's where creatives from the worlds of jazz, hip hop, gospel, politics, sports, fashion, theater, and literature engage "in the lively art of conversation."

BLACK MUSE is hosted by Clarence Waldron, Doris Davenport, and David Houston and created and produced by Howard Sandifer for Chicago West Community Music Center (CWCMC) with funding support from the Driehaus Foundation.
