Inside the Elvis Explosion

Produced by Tori Charnetzki with musical guidance from Caitlin Thom

Last September, I spent three days at the 22nd Annual Elvis Explosion. Forty Elvis Impersonators (Elvis Tribute Artist is the preferred term) compete for a spot in the finals and a chance to qualify for the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Contest that takes place in Graceland. This podcast explores the relationships these performers have to each other and the people who come to see them.
