    It’s spooky season at University of Gloucestershire! 🎃 In this Halloween special, hosts Hesham and Ivana are joined by Layan and Freya, two third-year Drama and Performance students, for a lively chat about all things Halloween — from their favourite costumes and films to performing Shakespeare in a stream and making friends through creativity. The group also dive into what it’s like to study Drama and Performance at UoG, how collaboration between courses helps students grow, and what “connections” really mean when you’re at university. Plus, stay tuned for a hilarious round of The Wheel of Misfortune — a spooky student spin on “would you rather” that gets out of hand fast! Whether you’re into student life, acting, or just love a good laugh, this episode is packed with stories, chaos, and a lot of personality. 🎙️ Guests: Layan and Freya

    Getting ‘Fed Up’: Freya's Journey from Dance Captain to SU Officer
    2025/10/08
    In this episode of Connections Corner, Ivana and Hesham are joined by Freya, our Students’ Union Activities and Opportunities Officer, for an honest chat about her UoG journey, and the incredible work she is doing in her role.
    From previously leading the university Dance team to launching her campaign ‘Fed Up’, Freya opens up about tackling food insecurity among students, as well as taking part in a fun ‘Raid the Cupboard’ challenge, trying to piece together a nutritious and filling meal with what’s left in your food cupboard before your next food shop. And, of course, we get Freya to rate your budget-friendly and sometimes questionable students meals in Student Meal of the Week.

  • Let’s get connected: from awkward hellos to dream careers

    Let’s get connected: from awkward hellos to dream careers
    2025/09/29
    In this very first episode of Connections Corner, it’s just your hosts Ivana and Hesham—no guests, no script, just real talk. Get to know the voices behind the mic as we share how we both found our way to uni, what sparked this podcast idea, and the kind of energy we’re bringing to every episode. Expect stories, banter, and… a little too much detail about how Wingstop may or may not have triggered a shopping habit for Ivana (👀). We’ll also hear from Hesham, who’s juggling postgrad life and finding connection in the chaos of a master’s degree. Plus, we dish on who we’re dying to get on the show—from students doing big things to staff and industry insiders we think you need to hear from. We’re also kicking off our brand new segment: Student Meal of the Week — where we rate, debate and occasionally regret our budget-friendly food choices. Come for the laughs, stay for the insights, and get ready to make your own connections along the way.
