EarBuds Podcast Collective Celebrates Ninth Anniversary with Reader Survey

EarBuds Podcast Collective, a weekly podcast recommendation newsletter founded by Arielle Nissenblatt, is celebrating its ninth anniversary by launching a reader survey aimed at shaping the newsletter's future scope and editorial direction.

Established in 2017, EarBuds operates on the principle that human-curated recommendations enhance podcast discovery more effectively than algorithms. Each week, the newsletter features a themed list of podcast episodes curated by diverse guest contributors, including creators, journalists, and industry leaders. Over the past nine years, it has become a trusted resource for listeners and professionals seeking thoughtful, human-curated listening suggestions.

The anniversary survey invites subscribers to provide feedback on their preferences, habits, and expectations. Participants will be entered into a giveaway featuring prizes from companies such as RSS.com, Headliner, Riverside, Transistor, and Auphonic.

In addition to serving listeners, EarBuds offers opportunities for podcast creators and industry professionals to contribute curated recommendation lists, reinforcing its role as a community-driven discovery platform.
