Dedicated to the conversation around its craft and lifestyle, The Documentary Life podcast has become the highest-ranked podcast specifically on documentary filmmaking. The inspiring and informative show has now announced its partnership with another pillar of the documentary industry, online community D-Word.

The D-Word boasts some 20000 members, becoming the #1 online community of documentary professionals. Its creative, technical, social, and financial topics of conversation have served the documentary community across its 20-year span. Founder Doug Block says of the partnership: «…what drew us to The Documentary Life podcast is, while it consistently features doc filmmakers and industry figures, each episode is focused on an important documentary theme rather than promoting a specific film.»

As part of the partnership, The Documentary Life podcast will broaden its reach and facilitate in-depth discussions on one of the D-Word’s Topic Forums. This comes as the podcast founded and hosted by filmmaker Chris G. Parkhurst has already garnered over 160k downloads across 145 countries, while featuring renowned guests like #Steve James#, #Bing Liu#, #Steven Bognar#, and Waad Al-Kateab & Edward Watts.
