Ear Buds: The Podcasting Documentary

The bond that forms between avid fan and zealous podcaster is unlike any other. The experience of listening to one of thousands of available podcasts can feel very personal, almost one on one. With Ear Buds, director Graham Elwood navigates the incredibly raw storytelling behind this evolving medium and opens a window into the future of how we view human connection. He and his The Comedy Film Nerds Podcast counterpart, Chris Mancini, want to discover why podcasters have such a deep personal connection with their audience. They travel all over the country, and then further afield to Australia and Japan to meet fans and podcasters. The stories they uncover, from both the podcasters and the fans, are both moving and fascinating, and help us imagine the future of human connection. (Napa Valley Film Festival)
