    Jazz Emu, comedian and musician

    In February, Cam FM's Aaron Syposz spoke to Archie Henderson, the man behind the Jazz Emu, a vain, lycra-covered musician famous for his europop-infused hits about everything from the etymology of the word "pineapple" to pretending to be asleep to get out of paying for things (maybe don't try that one at home). Archie is an ex-Cambridge Footlight, so knows the city well. He was particularly stoked to be performing at the Cambridge Junction, which he describes as "a step up from the ADC"! In this interview, Aaron and Archie talk about Jazz's new show, Knight Fever, AI in comedy, Cambridge life and much more besides. This interview was first broadcast on February 23rd 2025 on Cam FM News Brunch.

    Esther Magedera, Clarissa's Campaign President

    Cam FM is supporting Clarissa's Campaign for Cambridge Hearts for its Lent Bumps coverage this year, so here's another chance to hear Anouk Waller-Sargent's chat with the campaign president, Esther Magedera. Clarissa's Campaign fundraises to give free heart screenings to students, and has become particularly well-known in the Cambridge sport community, of which the campaign's namesake, Clarissa Nicholls, was an active part. Clarissa sadly died in Paris on her MML Year Abroad due to an undiagnosed heart condition, and the campaign, started by her university friends Izzy and Jess, aims to ensure that conditions such as Clarissa's do not go undiagnosed. With the charity's founders having graduated and the campaign having provided heart screenings this term at the University Sports Centre, Anouk chats with Esther about where the campaign is going now - it's safe to say they're not slowing down any time soon, with new screening dates, commercial partnerships and events on the horizon. In a wide-ranging conversation, Anouk and Esther go in-depth into the ins and outs of the campaign, asking what the heart screening process is like, how the campaign works logistically and what "success" will look like. If you want to contribute to Cam FM's fundraising efforts for the campaign over the Lent Bumps period, head on over to camfm.co.uk/donate - we and the campaign will be super grateful! This interview first aired on Cam FM News Brunch in November 2024.

    Anna Chop, Cambridge4Ukraine

    A few days before the three-year anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Aaron Syposz spoke to Anna Chop from the Ukrainian community group here in Cambridge, Cambridge4Ukraine. After a whirlwind week which saw Donald Trump brand - without evidence - Volodymyr Zelensky a "dictator" and begin peace negotiations with Russia without giving Ukraine or any European country a seat at the table, how is the Ukrainian community coping? How will they mark the anniversary of Russia's invasion on February 24th? And what should we do in our own lives as all this geopolitics swirls around us here in Cambridge? This interview first aired on Cam FM News Brunch on February 23rd, 2025.

    Andrii Smytsniuk, Cambridge4Ukraine Chair

    In this edition of Cam FM Trending, Aaron sits down with Andrii Smystniuk, chair of the community group Cambridge4Ukraine, for an interview first broadcast on Cam FM News Brunch earlier this month. Aaron spoke with Andrii following his organisation's commemoration of the Holodomor for Holodomor Memorial Day. The Holodomor was a famine which spread across Ukraine in 1932 and 1933 as a result of Stalin's policies of agricultural collectivisation. Many countries, including the UK, consider it an intentional genocide committed by the Soviet regime against the Ukrainian people. To commemorate the Holodomor, whose name translates from Ukrainian roughly as "extermination by hunger", Cambridge4Ukraine held a candlemaking workshop and screened the 2019 film Mr Jones, which tells the story of the Welsh journalist Gareth Jones. At considerable personal risk, Jones travelled to the East of Ukraine during the Holodomor, exposing the famine that was taking place there. At the time, not many believed his story, but over time, Jones' journalistic efforts have been vindicated. As well as discussing the Holodomor and Gareth Jones, Aaron and Andrii talk about the perception and awareness of Ukrainian culture in the UK since Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the growing number of Cambridge students taking up the opportunity to study the Ukrainian language, and how Cambridge's Ukrainian community has changed and grown in the last two years. Cambridge4Ukraine is a community group which helps Ukrainians based in Cambridge, and runs many events celebrating Ukrainian culture that are open to all throughout the year.

This interview was first broadcast on 1 December 2024, following Holodomor Memorial Day on 23 November.
