EarBuds Podcast Collective: *Well, That Was a Surprise*

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: Catherine O’Brien

WHY THIS THEME?: Podcasts are a unique medium that can make listeners think and feel unlike any other format. That’s the inspiration behind the theme. I picked five episodes that intrigue, go deep, get vulnerable, or otherwise have an impact that goes beyond the initial listening of the episode.

MONDAY: Judge John Hodgman – Shut Your Pious Hole – 53 minutes

TUESDAY: The Secret Room – My Father’s Famous Daughter – 22 minutes

WEDNESDAY: EconTalk – Ryan Holiday on Conspiracy, Gawker, and the Hulk Hogan Trial – 78 minutes

THURSDAY: First to Strike – Who’s Going to Help Me – Future Soldiers  – 20 minutes

FRIDAY: Ear Hustle – Unwritten – 32 minutes

SHAMELESS PROMO: I volunteer for a local dog rescue group and even produce a podcast for them (it’s the way I learned how to podcast). We have 184 episodes so far.Pawcast: Friends of the Animals Baton Rouge.
