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…)

SHAMELESS PROMO: The Podcast Gumbo newsletter recommends three podcast episodes each week. It’s intellectual, personal, artisanal, skimmable, and dare I say, poetic. Who am I kidding? It’s only two of those things. 

DISCUSSION QUESTION: What podcast episode made you question your belief system?
