Lemme clear it up for y'all: each week at EarBuds is curated by a different person. Anyone can curate a list. You can curate a list. You can do that right here!EarBuds is a community-curated newsletter. I started it in 2017 because I wanted to listen to shows that were outside of my own interests. Thank you for helping to make that happen!P.s. if you love what we do, please consider telling a friend to subscribe. You can also support us on Patreon.

🎤This week in Podcast The Newsletter, Lauren writes, "Did Titanic Sink? is a comedy conspiracy podcast. But there’s earnestness in it, too. Tim Batt is making an argument that the ship we believe to be the Titanic did not sink, and is extending his case throughout a series where he tries to convince his friend Carlo Ritchie that he’s right. He gets feedback from friends about how the argument is going."
