University - but perhaps not as you know it. We’re here to gather and explore stories and experiences of university life from across the globe - and see how living the Aberdream holds up in comparison.

    13. The (not so new) normal

    In a university year unlike any other, we speak to students to find out how they're coping with online classes, socially distanced pub visits, and all the other features of the 'new normal'. Continuing the theme from previous episodes, we also reflect on how underachieving we are as compared to our guests. Guests: Thomas Fluck, Karolína Martinčová, Fatin Umi Nailah

    12. 8 months later

    It feels like it's been a lifetime since all our lives were changed by COVID-19. On today’s episode, we take a trip down memory lane and remember what things were like in the early days of the virus hitting Europe. We also address the ever important issue of the team’s knowledge of late 90s british pop groups.

    11. Let's go green!

    It's important to look after yourself at university, but what about looking after the planet too? We discuss all things green - from ice caps to fast fashion to veganism - and find out how one guest earned the nickname ‘the mushroom guy’. Guests: Lasse Melgaard Rasmussen, Maria Lune, Sofia Ferrara

    10. Healthy body, healthy mind

    Looking after your mental and physical health is always an important aspect of university life - now more than ever. We investigate the set-backs, struggles, and solutions students have experienced in looking after themselves as students. Guests: Joel Back, Steven Devlin, Federico Gambedotti

    9. Back from our gap yah!

    As you may have noticed, we’ve been on a bit of a break. We felt it appropriate, then, to return with this episode to talk about gap years. We talk to three students about their degree journeys, including all the twists and turns they’ve experienced along the way. Guests: Albert Boehm, Marie Bernards, Lorraine Williams

    7. Ready, Steady, Brexit?

    We all know the Brexit of politics, negotiations, and turbulent elections. But what has Brexit meant to everyday students and university staff over the last three and a half years? And on Brexit-eve, we ask what effect Brexit might have on our university lives in the future. Guests: Eloise Osborne, Răzvan Marian Păun, Dr. Malcolm Harvey

    6. The other side of the coin?

    We've looked a lot at the trials and tribulations of student life, but what is uni like for our teachers? How does teaching in 2019 compare to the past, and what Scotland do differently from the rest of the world? Guests: professor Keith Bender, dr Hemamali Tennakoon Mudiyanselage, dr Stuart Durkin
