How EarBuds Podcast Collective works:

Each week, a theme is chosen by one of our curators. That curator finds 5 podcast episodes (from anywhere!) to go along with that theme. Listen to these podcasts by clicking on the links above, through the RadioPublic app, or you can find (most of) them on your favorite podcast app (iTunes, Stitcher, Overcast…)

WHY THIS THEME?: Mission: being true to myself AND having relationships involving key value and belief differences. Let’s question assumptions and explore sources of misunderstanding and conflict — within society, organizations, families, and ourselves. Plus, a redemptive finale.

SHAMELESS PROMO: Join the communication revolution! One effective method is non-violent communication (NVC), formulated by Dr. Marshall Rosenberg; highly recommend it.

CROWDSOURCING QUESTION: What are theories you’ve heard that are behind our communication mishaps? Do you have any other effective methods to promote understanding, civil discourse, and constructive conflict?
