EarBuds Podcast Collective: *Empathy*

5 podcast episodes according to a theme, curated by a different person each week!June 26 - 30, 2017

  PODCAST CURATOR'S NAME: Shira Moskowitz  WHY THIS THEME?: Empathy is a full body experience. It is about seeing, hearing, and feeling another person's perspective, and then acting on those emotions. These podcasts will help us explore the different senses we can use to understand other people's experiences and act on that understanding.  MONDAY EPISODE (6/26): How Stuff Works - How Empathy Works - 56 minutes  I chose this episode to start off our week because it gives a general overview of empathy and reminds us that empathy involves acting on our feelings, not simply acknowledging them intellectually.   TUESDAY EPISODE (6/27): Modern Love - Seeing the World Through My Wife's Eyes - 26 minutes  Yesterday's episode explained that empathy involves seeing the world through another perspective and then doing something about it. Today's episode talks about someone who literally sees the world through his wife's eyes.   WEDNESDAY EPISODE (6/28): The Daily - The Climate Change Battle Through One Coal Miner's Eyes - 22 minutes  Today we listen to various sides of the climate change debate, most notably the personal experience of one coal miner. Political debates often become so big that we forget about the individuals affected -- this episode reminds us to listen to each other.  THURSDAY EPISODE (6/29): Invisibilia - Entanglement - 58 minutes  Here's an episode about a woman who can literally feel what she sees others feel. This episode pushes us to think about how we are all somewhat entangled in other people's feelings.   FRIDAY EPISODE (6/30): TED Radio Hour - Reconcilitation - 53 minutes  We've spent this week seeing, hearing, and feeling other people's stories. This episode helps us think about how we can take those feelings and turn them into actions, or how we can turn sympathy into empathy.   GET IN TOUCH: Email me: [email protected]  CROWDSOURCING QUESTION: What is one step you can take to become more empathetic?  HASHTAG FOR DISCUSSION: #EarBudsEmpathy

Here's how EarBuds works: Each week, a theme is chosen by one of our Leads. That Lead finds 5 podcast episodes (from anywhere!) to go along with that theme.
