EarBuds Podcast Collective: *Design & Innovation*

• Lead's Name: Rachel Glazer (rhymes with laser, not glacier)

• Theme of the Week: Design & Innovation

• Why this Theme?: Behind every mover-and-shaker is a drafter-and-maker! I love hearing peoples' creativity in improving the way we interact with the things around us -- print materials, sound, architecture, business, and more! 

• Monday Episode (4/10): 99% Invisible - Negative Space: Logo Design - 48 minutes

• Tuesday Episode (4/11): 20k Hertz - What Makes up a Movie Soundtrack - 15 minutes

• Wednesday Episode (4/12): Design Matters -  Allison Bechdel - 42 minutes 

• Thursday Episode (4/13): Israel Story - Stop That Bus! (Act I) - 42 minutes

• Friday Episode (4/14): How I Built This: Zumba: Beto Perez & Alberto Perlman - 39 minutes

• Get in Touch: [email protected]

• Shameless Promotion: No one should have to suffer through making a crappy flyer on Microsoft Office. I use Canva.com instead (the free version is equally as good as the paid one). Use easy templates and modern design elements to elevate your PR! Let me know if you need a tutorial. (Only available on iPhone).

• Crowd Sourcing Question: What do you do when you don't have to? -- Something that might make your life easier if you didn't, but you do it anyway? And why? Email Rachel!

• Hashtag for Discussion: #EarBudsDesignInnovation

Questions? Comments? Ideas on how to make this better? Let me know by replying to this email! 

WITH LOVE and LISTENING,

The EarBuds Team

Here's how EarBuds works: Each week, a theme is chosen by one of our Podcast Leads. That Lead finds 5 podcast episodes (from anywhere!) to go along with that theme. I send these emails out on Sunday nights and the idea is to listen to one episode on each day of the week, Monday through Friday. Totally up to you how much or how little you listen -- but keep in mind: this is an exercise in expanding perspectives. You can listen to these podcasts by clicking on the links above or you can find (most of) them on your favorite podcast app (iTunes, Stitcher, Overcast...)
