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