Bob Bowdon Disrupts the Video Streaming Business

Joining host Michael Azevedo on this episode is former television journalist and documentary producer turned digital media entrepreneur Bob Bowdon. Bob is the founder of VidaFair, a video streaming platform that is disrupting subscription models by giving creators a new way to monetize — think pay-per-view, but for videos.    Before VidaFair, Bob built an impressive career as a journalist, documentary producer, and television commentator for outlets like PBS and Bloomberg, where he became passionate about giving people a platform to share their voices. He also directed The Cartel, an award-winning documentary exposing what he saw as corruption in public education. Bob also appeared in satirical sketches for the Onion News Network. Bob’s journey touches on everything from idea conception to execution in a crowded market.   

Making Media Now is sponsored by Filmmakers Collaborative, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting media makers from across the creative spectrum.
