EarBuds Podcast Collective is marking its ninth anniversary by inviting readers to share feedback in a new survey.
Founded in 2017 by podcast strategist Arielle Nissenblatt, EarBuds was built on the idea that human-led discovery makes podcast listening more meaningful than relying on algorithms.
Each week, the newsletter highlights a themed list of podcast episodes curated by guest contributors, including creators, journalists, industry figures, and engaged listeners.
Over nine years, EarBuds has established itself as a resource for audiences and professionals seeking thoughtful, human-curated recommendations.
The anniversary survey will gather insights on reader habits, preferences, and expectations, guiding the newsletter’s future format, scope, and editorial direction.
Participants in the survey will have the chance to win prizes from companies such as RSS.com, Headliner, Riverside, Transistor, and Auphonic.
EarBuds continues to provide creators and industry professionals with opportunities to contribute their own curated lists, reinforcing the platform’s community-driven approach to podcast discovery.
Nissenblatt said the survey is intended to ensure the newsletter remains responsive to its readers while maintaining its focus on thoughtful, human-led recommendations.
The survey is open to all subscribers and readers, marking a milestone that celebrates both the newsletter’s longevity and its ongoing commitment to audience engagement.
