EarBuds Podcast Collective: *Your Podcast MBA*

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: Bryce Webster

WHY THIS THEME?: For those who love to nerd-out over business case studies, here are five awesome podcasts involving business stories. They include a quirky grocery store that wins by doing things differently, an innovative apparel product that disrupted a sleepy industry, and a lesson on scaling a business by doing things that don’t scale. Bryce decided to supplement his actual MBA with a podcast MBA. Here are some of his favorites.

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.*
