EarBuds Podcast Collective: *A Beautiful Mind*

How EarBuds Podcast Collective works: EarBuds Podcast Collective is a podcast recommendation engine. We send a weekly email with a theme and five podcast episodes on that theme, and each week is curated by a different person. It’s the best way to discover new podcasts! Since 2017, we’ve recommended over 500 podcasts curated by more than 100 people. Join our community and listen up!

SELF PROMO: 

Hidden Beauty is a podcast that explores the role beauty ideals and cosmetics have played in our lives, and their connection to everything from fashion and film to pop culture and politics. Tune in to listen to surprising stories, like why Drake tattooed a bottle of Drakkar Noir cologne on his shoulder, or how a 1950s deodorant was a harbinger of the world’s current plastic waste problem.
