EarBuds Podcast Collective: *Evolution of Comedy*
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…)
PODCAST CURATOR’S NAME: Andrew Steven
WHY THIS THEME?: Have you ever watched a standup comedy special on Comedy Central or Netflix and wondered… how did laughter — something we all do — become an industry? How has comedy been used to tell stories and how has it had an impact on culture?
MONDAY: Radiolab – Laughter – 58 minutes
TUESDAY: The History of Standup –In One, Television, and the Birth of Standup –35 minutes
WEDNESDAY: You Made it Weird with Pete Holmes – Garry Shandling– 125 minutes
THURSDAY: Good One– Cameron Esposito’s Rape Joke – 74 minutes
FRIDAY: Larry Wilmore: Black On The Air – Bassem Youssef on the Power of Satire for Social Change – 29 minutes

SHAMELESS PROMO: Want to hear more? Season 1 of The History of Standup chronicled the events and evolution of standup comedy from vaudeville to Netflix. Season 2 begins June 4th, 2019 and takes a closer look at the venues where standup took place, from the people who were there.
CROWDSOURCING QUESTION: When was the last time you lost control from laughing? What happened to make you laugh?
