EarBuds Podcast Collective: *Podcasts for Belly Laughs*

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: Chris Newth

WHY THIS THEME?: If you think about it, pure laughter is the result of your insides lighting up. We can all use more uncontrollable chuckle-fests in life, so hopefully, this list will help you find something that’ll make you say “hahaha” a lot.

3 friends get high—now legally!—and review the things you love

CROWDSOURCING QUESTION: What do you look for most when you check out a new podcast?

SHAMELESS PROMO: Perhaps follow me on Twitter and read through my joke tweets while you pick up litter in the backyard of a nursing home? It’d be like killing two birds with one stone…and then making sure you deposited those dead birds into the proper receptacles afterward.
