Documentary
"Searching for Contact" tracks a social media-obsessed musician and his quest for public recognition over the fifteen years since social media began to encourage individuals to turn themselves into private brands. Over the course of creating an album, a music video, a speaking tour, and eventually a documentary, musician Rob Holub - along with the hundreds of people he interviews in dozens of countries along the way - reflects a struggle that millions share, living in a society where the greatest currency in the world is public attention. Searching for Contact is a coming of age story for social media itself.
Here's what listeners can learn:
- Exploring Humanity
- Navigating Through The Digital Era
- Producing A Documentary
- The Vulnerability In Communicating A Message

Now he lets his creativity just flow without second thought, he enjoys his spare time going to concerts and events. We break all of that down including some Niner talk, that and much more so stay locked in.
