Five Podcast on Sustainable Living for your Listening Pleasure

EarBuds Podcast Collective

Almost eight months ago, I followed a call to action in a podcasting Facebook group. One of the ladies had the idea to ask fellow podcasters to share their favorite podcasts and themes with each other.

Before we knew it, this format was developed.

Create an email list.
A weekly email is sent out on Sunday evening with a weekly theme and five podcast episodes to listen to. One for each weekday.
Every week, a different person does the curation.
The founder creates the emails to go out to the public.

It was eight months ago that I threw my name in the hat and by the time I got the access to the google spreadsheet to claim my week, it was all filled up to February of this year.

This coming week is my week and I send the email with my suggestions and answers off today.

I am taking a wild guess here, but I am assuming that you are not on that mailing list and I thought I will share my selections with you here. If you are on the list, please ignore this post and wait for your email :)

My Curation

Here are the questions I was answering:

1. What is your name?

Hello everyone, my name is Marianne West from The Sustainable Living Podcast

2. What is your theme?

Sustainable Living Plus

3. Why did you choose this theme?

Sustainable living and beyond has been on my mind for a long time. We have the responsibility to figure out how we can leave a planet for our children and theirs that is a pleasure to live on. It is time that we, the people, are taking matters into our hands and we can’t afford to sit back and trust that other’s will take care of the problems we are facing.
