The documentary filmmaker Alison O’Daniel makes her first appearance on the podcast to discuss her film “The Tuba Thieves” which will have its broadcast premiere on Independent Lens (PBS) on May 20th. The central mystery of this unconventional documentary isn’t about theft; it’s about the nature of sound itself.

Also, the Artistic Director and Founder of the Berkshires International Film Festival, Kelley Vickery, returns to the podcast to discuss this year’s festival May 30th through June 2nd.
