Description

Who gets to decide where you belong? Which subjects to study, what university to go to, or how to choose your path? It should be you - and only you - but the reality can be more complicated than that. The University of Manchester’s Number One Podcast has returned with an elevated sense-of-self and a new line up of experts, ready to bring topical issues into the hot seat. From ADHD, confidence and fan-girling, to self-growth, 'getting it wrong' and being a better trans ally - we're not afraid to get deep into these (sometimes uncomfortable) conversations. This season looks a little different, with Jasmine Luby Barrow (she/her) joined by Co-Producer Alice Stevens (she/her) - together inviting a total of eleven phenomenal guests from across the STEM sphere to share their experiences, advice, and take the mic. Platforming the voices of women and marginalised groups of all ages and walks of life, you'll hear from university students, researchers, and industry experts as we discuss everything from choosing your A-Levels to fighting the entrenched class system.
