Welcome to episode 27! It covers the week of April 6 - 10, 2020.

This week’s theme is: *Pain and Suffering.* Our curator is Lauren Passell.

More on this podcast:
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.


Here’s why Lauren chose this theme:
I'm a runner who has sustained some terrible injuries, and I've always come through them stronger than I ever was. I am constantly evaluating my pain levels and wondering if they are normal.
