EarBuds Podcast Collective: *Upgrading Human Health*

How EarBuds Podcast Collective works: Each week, a theme is chosen by one of our curators. That curator finds 5 podcast episodes (from anywhere!) to go along with that theme. Listen to these podcasts by clicking on the links above, through the RadioPublic app, or you can find (most of) them on your favorite podcast app (iTunes, Stitcher, Overcast…)

PODCAST CURATOR’S NAME: Oliver Armitage, Co-Founder & Chief Scientific Officer at BIOS

WHY THIS THEME?: Technology has made us into superhumans on the outside, but so far has had little impact inside the human body. How are technologies like AI being applied and incorporated into the human body to improve our health and what does it mean for us?

TUESDAY: University of Oxford Podcasts Is AI Good for Our Health? –47 minutes

WEDNESDAY: The Daily – The Ethics of Genetically Editing Babies – 24 minutes

THURSDAY: GeekWire– Using Tech to Kill Cancer – 21 minutes

SHAMELESS PROMO: My company BIOS is enabling AI-based healthcare treatments on organs and nerve systems throughout the body to improve health and lives. We use neuroscience, machine learning, software engineering, applied biomaterials, and the experience of our biotechnologists to develop open standard neural interfaces – the hardware and software connection between the human nervous system and AI. 

CROWDSOURCING QUESTION: Would you implant a pacemaker-type device in your body to enhance your health?

Arielle Nissenblatt

Arielle is the founder and lead curator at EarBuds Podcast Collective, a listening movement started in January 2017. EarBuds sends out a weekly email with a theme and 5 podcast episodes on that theme, each week curated by a different person from within the Collective! Anyone can sign up to curate a list, as we hope that we'll explore topics that we wouldn't have come across on our own. We are expanding the movement, and we now produce and execute storytelling shows in cities throughout the U.S. on the theme *listening.*
