Welcome to episode 17! It covers the week of January 27 - 31, 2020.

Our episode may sound a little funky this time around. Please don't be mad! We had some technical difficulty + host Arielle originally read something wrong. It happens. Bleh.

Programming Note for this Week's Pod Playlist:

This week's podcast recommendations come from Luminary, a subscription-based podcast app and platform that creates content exclusively available on their app. We want to make sure the paywall wouldn’t affect our listeners.

That’s why Luminary is offering a code for a one-month FREE trial to their app. You'll be able to listen to each of the episodes recommended below (and more!) by going to Luminary dot link / earbuds. Here's a direct link. You can also download their app in the App Store on on Google Play.

Each week on this podcast, we’ll share the information that's within the newsletter put out by EarBuds Podcast Collective. EBPC is a listening movement. We send a weekly email with a theme and 5 podcast episodes on that theme, and each week is curated by a different person. Anyone can curate a list -- just reach out!

We partner with Inside Podcasting to bring you the week’s top podcast news stories. Written by Skye Pillsbury, Inside Podcasting is a thrice weekly email newsletter that covers the podcast world.

This week's theme comes to us from Yolanda Sangweni (Luminary) and is called *For Your Reconsideration.* Yolanda chose 5 podcast episodes that fit within that theme.

Here’s why Yolanda chose this theme:
We're all a little guilty of thinking our positions on hot-button topics in the culture are pretty solid because they come from an informed and earnest place. Yet, once in a while, our conclusions need a refresh. The following list includes podcasts that encourage us to dig a little deeper and rethink what we think we know.
