Dark academia but with a little chaos. Talking all things life, school, and the pursuit of knowledge, Alina is for people who are just a bit messy and a bit scholarly. The goal is to be informal but informative. Chaotic Academia is an aesthetic we may relate to as we try to figure out the world, so listen and contemplate. This podcast explores topics of interest, schools, books, and culture..
