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: Shira Atkins and Jenny Kaplan

WHY THIS THEME?: Women make up more than half of the electorate but no more than a quarter of any federal governing body in the United States. That is BONKERS. Luckily, we are in the company of incredible journalists and content creators telling the stories to make a change.

SHAMELESS PROMO: We’re passionate about using storytelling to introduce empathy into politics. We staunchly believe that Congress would be better — more productive, more civil, more creative — if it looked more like the people it represents.
