EarBuds Podcast Collective: *Have Better Conversations*

Last updated on September 3rd, 2019

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!

PODCAST CURATOR’S NAME: Erica Mandy

WHY THIS THEME?: Talking about the weather is boring, and no one likes that awkward silence when you don’t know what to say at a networking party. Oh, and it’s also time we listen to and engage with each other, instead of yelling or ignoring. These podcasts will help!

TUESDAY: Spit  – Why Don’t We Talk More About Mental Health? With Mike Shinoda, Dr. Gail Saltz and Dr. Ahmad Hariri– 73 minutes

WEDNESDAY: The Newsworthy – Hurricane Dorian Update, U.S. Space Command & Labor Day – 9 minutes

THURSDAY: TED Talks Daily – How to Use Family Dinner to Teach Politics –11minutes

SELF PROMO: If you’re one of the 7 out of 10 Americans that feels a bit of news burnout — I’m here for you. You CAN stay informed without feeling overwhelmed or depressed by the news, and it only takes ten minutes a day. It’s the reason I quit my job in TV news to launch the daily news podcast, The NewsWorthy. Or check out my recommendations for “4 Ways to Process Modern News (and Still Enjoy Staying Informed).” Hope it helps!  

CROWDSOURCING QUESTION:What’s the most interesting news story you’ve heard lately? It can be about politics, tech, space, business, entertainment, etc…
