Episode Description from the Publisher

Today we’re joined by filmmaker and musician Eric Kinkel, the creative force behind the new independent biographical film In Search of His Lost Cords. This powerful documentary follows Eric’s deeply personal journey to reclaim his voice and his music after a life‑altering brain trauma. It’s an inspiring story of resilience, creativity, and the healing power of sound — and we’re excited to hear how this remarkable project came to life...musician, vocalist, and recording artist Eric Kinkel, who also serves as executive producer. The film follows Kinkel’s quest after a traumatic neurological injury left him unable to sing or reliably speak—robbing him of the very gift that defined his life and identity.  Through never-before-seen photographs, rare archival materials, and deeply personal interviews, “In Search of His Lost Cords” captures Kinkel’s emotional, physical, and psychological struggle alongside the unwavering determination that continues to propel him forward.
