This week's theme is Raising Awareness About Disabilities. The curator is Maya Chupkov, host and producer of the podcast Proud Stutter. She brings us this list in honor of National Stuttering Awareness Week.

Why did Maya choose this theme? "Disabilities are widely misrepresented in media and popular culture. Podcasting as an advocacy tool can do more than just raise disability awareness: it can also win the hearts and minds of people, a precursor to long-lasting societal change. As a woman who stutters and a disability justice podcaster and storyteller, with each conversation, I am uprooting myths and systemic ableism against people with disabilities.”

Thank you to this week's EarBuds sponsor, Focusrite:

Podcasting can be full of daunting concepts like gain staging and signal chains and waveform degrundulating (did you notice that we made that last one up?) Skip the jargon and be your best creative self with an audio interface from Focusrite.
