Robert Johnson Part 1
Listen to Part 2 at https://www.truthserumproject.com/episode-3 [https://www.truthserumproject.com/episode-3]
The great Godfather of Rock ’n Roll talks about his so-called deal with the devil, the artists who shaped his sound, where music traveled after he was gone, and shares his thoughts while listening to the sweet sounds of Berry, Clapton, Hendrix, Van Halen, and more.Truth Serum dares to ask: What would history’s most influential voices say if we could speak to them today?
Using a blend of AI and historical scholarship, we revive figures from the past for open, honest conversations. Our goal isn’t to learn what they would say, but what they might say—with the full weight of hindsight, context, and a dash of truth serum.
This is not a reenactment.
It’s an informed exploration—built on handwritten letters, biographies and historical records. Our guests' answers are digitally generated based on all accessible information, and are not edited for content or substance. Each episode is intended to be thought-provoking and informative, without being definitive.
We believe the voices of the past still have something to teach us, that the conversation isn’t over and that the truth is never dead.
