Five episodes on a theme, each week curated by a different person

Five years ago today, we sent out the first-ever EarBuds newsletter. The theme was New Beginnings. If you received that email, reply and let us know! It looked like this (not super cute). We've changed a bit since.Thank you for subscribing and being part of this podcast journey!

EarBuds founder Arielle Nissenblatt & EarBuds podcast and newsletter coordinator Nina Joss

Why did you choose this theme? 

EarBuds Podcast Collective is turning five! We can't believe it. We've been sending this newsletter for half a decade. In honor of this exciting milestone, we chose to celebrate with a list on the theme of the traditional five-year anniversary gift — wood!We found these episodes to be fascinating, weird, and full of new and unique information. We hope you enjoy 'em!
