    Episode 6 | Season Finale!

    So long, farewell to our dear viewers and listeners. It has been an honour and pleasure for us to host 6 episodes and 8 minis of Strangers By Nature. In this last episode, we recap our fav memories, highlights and share our biggest learning moments and struggles. Setting up this podcast wasn’t the easiest thing for us and we weren’t always excited but we are proud of what we created, the relationships we formed and the questions we got to ask. We are hopeful that our passion for inclusion and excellent work within and beyond the Warwick student body will be continued and improved upon by two new hosts who are crafting a brand new podcast. Please support them the way you supported us. More info to come!

    Episode 5 | Make Space and Make Your Mark

    Episode 3 | Zimbabwean Theatre & The African Women Playwrights Network

    Eurocentrism has always been a point of discussion in Theatre Studies courses in UK universities. In this episode, Amelia and Talya sit down with Getrude, the 2022 African Women Playwrights Network artist in residence at the University of Warwick. This is our insightful conversation about the importance of studying African theatre, theatre in Zimbabwe, creating new work, and paving the way to your future.

    Mini 6 | Is Theatre Etiquette Real?

    We discuss the reality of going to the theatre. What do you do when your friend takes a BeReal during a show you spent months creating? Why is the seat right next to yours £10 cheaper? The difference between the women's and men's toilet queue is so frustrating! Share your experiences with us. We want to hear the good, bad and ugly. See you in the next one!
