Welcome back to the Pandemic Podcast!
In this episode, Kinga Kaluszynska interviews Julia Brookes, both from the University of Leeds.
They talk through Julia’s experience as a front-line worker as a delivery driver during the first lockdown, and the contrast in her experience as a student in first year. We examine the frustration felt by many students as the blame for rising COVID-19 cases was placed on them, despite the fact many students were essentially locked into their university accommodation with little to no contact to the outside world. We also touch on topics of accommodation security, loneliness and general hardships of doing first year of university in a pandemic, with many laughs along the way.
We hope you enjoy this episode!
