Why Do I Feel?
The Green-Eyed Monster
In our curator Nathan's podcast, he takes an emotional journey into people's lives. He asks his guests to reveal some pretty personal information about their more difficult feelings, so it's only fair that he leads by example. In episode 2, Nathan gets some 'live therapy' for his professional envy.
The Happiness Lab

This beautifully produced podcast combines stories and science with a diverse range of contributors. Try episode 2 of the current season, because who doesn’t know the pain of a broken heart? And who can forget it?

Tahmima Anam And Scary Dads

PODCAST SPOTLIGHT:
Based On a True Story
We've all seen the movies that claim to be 'based on a true story', but have you ever wondered how historically accurate they are? That's what we'll aim to find out as we compare Hollywood with history. Each episode host Dan LeFebre talks to the historians, authors, consultants who worked on the movie - and sometimes the people the film was based on.

Let us get right into it. This week's Earbuds theme comes to us from Nathan Filer, and it's called How Do You Feel? We love a feelings check in, don't we? Nathan is a writer of fiction and nonfiction. His novel, The Shock of the Fall is about a young man coming to terms with the death of his brother
00;02;21;17 - 00;02;36;07
Arielle

We weren't able to get him on the show because he's hard at work on some deadlines, but we'll still enjoy the benefits of his well curated list on the theme How do
00;03;08;16 - 00;03;23;19
Arielle
you feel? Also in today's episode of Feedback with Earbuds, we share a trailer drop for a new show from Double Elvis productions called Lust For Live. After that, our podcast Spotlight and some community news from Earbuds subscribers, and then we will close it out.
00;03;24;04 - 00;03;44;21
Arielle
First, let's get to Nathan's picks for this week's theme. How do you feel? Why did Nathan choose this theme? He writes, It's an important question to ask, isn't it to check in with ourselves and with each other? These podcasts delve into the most unifying of all human experiences our emotions.
00;03;45;15 - 00;04;03;05
Arielle
The first recommendation comes from Nathan's own podcasts,Why Do I Feel? And it's called the green eyed monster in his own podcast. Nathan takes an emotional journey into people's lives. Nathan asks his guests to reveal some pretty personal information about their more difficult feelings, so it's only fair that he leads by example.
00;04;03;22 - 00;04;20;23
Arielle
In episode two, Nathan gets some live therapy for his professional envy. The next recommendation comes from the Happiness Lab podcast, and the episode is called Treating the Pain of a Broken Heart. This beautifully produced podcast combines stories and science with a diverse range of contributors.
00;04;21;03 - 00;04;34;28
Arielle
Try episode two of the current season because who doesn't know the pain of a broken heart and who can forget it? Next up is the podcast Welcome Collection, Hello Happiness, and the episode is called Hope. Do you want a happiness fix?
00;04;35;11 - 00;04;55;07
Arielle
Host Phoenicia speaks with fascinating guests on the subject of positive emotions. Episode one is Hope and includes guest Tiffany Locksmith, one of the UK's leading experts on the history of emotion. Brown Baby with Nikesh Shukla is the next podcast recommendation and the episode is called Tahmima Anam and Scary Dads.
00;04;55;27 - 00;05;11;14
Arielle
Here's one for those of us who are trying to raise children in these challenging and troubling times. Nikesh is a thoughtful and engaging host. Try episode five of Season two with Tahmima Anam. The last recommendation as part of Nathan's podcast picks on the theme How Do You Feel?
00;05;11;23 - 00;05;26;22

00;05;27;05 - 00;05;45;01

our next curator. We'll have information for that in the show notes of this episode. You can learn how to curate a list for Earbuds Podcast Collective. Let me take a moment to tell you about a podcast that I have been loving lately.
00;05;58;25 - 00;06;14;14
Arielle
What first attracted me to What Was That Like? podcast was the episode titles. How do you not tune in to an episode called Dan was mauled by a grizzly bear? Or Diana survived a plane crash? Scott Johnson is the host of this podcast that tells firsthand true stories.
00;06;14;24 - 00;06;28;21
Arielle
But the focus is really on the guest, what they went through, how they survived, how they're doing. Now that the experience is thankfully over. Many of the stories on what was that like include actual 911 one tape from the scenes being described.
00;06;29;00 - 00;06;44;10
Arielle
It's intense, it's gripping, it's instructional and it is deeply human. The show covers a variety of topics and stories. Some are true crime related. Like someone who survived a mass shooting. Others are lighthearted, like someone who won some big lottery money.
00;06;44;25 - 00;06;56;22
Arielle
If you've ever wondered how someone goes from sending a text to the wrong number to eventually marrying the person that the text message went to, What Was That Like? is your next podcast obsession. You can find What Was That Like? wherever you get your podcasts.
00;06;56;22 - 00;07;10;08
Arielle
And what was that like? Com. Next up, it is time for a trailer drop. We're hearing from Jake Brennan at Double Elvis Productions about their latest show drop. The show is called Lust for Live Let's hit the tape.
00;07;11;01 - 00;07;25;14
Jake

Jake

00;07;40;02 - 00;07;54;24
Jake
The band was late going on again and the sweaty crowd was visibly tense. People milled and people shifted. Suddenly, the lights went out and the cheering started. Then a pulse, a group of bodies began to move and sway.
00;07;55;09 - 00;08;12;10
Jake
And the singer began channeling icons past and present, howling like Hank Williams, moving like Mike Tyson and smoldering like Scarlett Johansson. Everyone in the audience knew they were witnessing something unforgettable. The kind of performance that people would write about for the next 30 years.
00;08;13;02 - 00;08;38;28
Jake
