Graham Elwood and Chris Mancini (The Comedy Film Nerds Podcast) wanted to find out why podcasters had such a deep personal connection with their audience. They went all over the country, and then even to Australia and Japan to interview fans and podcasters. From dealing with mental illness to battling cancer, the stories they heard were as surprising as they were inspirational.

Chris Mancini and Graham Elwood are two of the founders of the Los Angeles Podcast Festival (with Dave Anthony and Andy Wood). The first year of that festival was in 2012. Graham Elwood was the director and executive producer of Ear Buds: The Podcasting Documentary, and Chris Mancini was the writer and executive producer.

Ear Buds: The Podcasting Documentary is also available on Steam. You can rent it for $4.99, or buy it for $12.99. A note on Steam says “This content is only available in an online streaming format.”
