EarBuds Podcast Collective: *Women in the House*

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.

MONDAY: Women Belong in the House – I Got It From My Mama – 38 minutes

TUESDAY: NPR Politics Podcast – Midterm Update: Ayanna Pressley’s Upset Victory Shows Power Of Women Of Color – 15 minutes

WEDNESDAY: Hellbent  “I Didn’t Expect the Misogyny” feat. Lauren Underwood 31 minutes

THURSDAY: Call Your Girlfriend – Midterm Madness – 59 minutes

FRIDAY: Unladylike – How to Stop Getting Screwed in the SCOTUS – 44 minutes

GET IN TOUCH: Email | Instagram

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.

CROWDSOURCING QUESTION: What woman or historical moment relating to women’s rights do you wish you learned more about in school?

HASHTAG FOR DISCUSSION: #WomenInTheHouse #Midterms2018

Arielle Nissenblatt

Arielle is the founder and lead curator at EarBuds Podcast Collective, a listening movement started in January 2017. EarBuds sends out a weekly email with a theme and 5 podcast episodes on that theme, each week curated by a different person from within the Collective! Anyone can sign up to curate a list, as we hope that we'll explore topics that we wouldn't have come across on our own. We are expanding the movement, and we now produce and execute storytelling shows in cities throughout the U.S. on the theme *listening.*
