Professor Eunice Simmons (University of Chester) is our first Vice Chancellor on the show! Proving we have listeners at the top of higher education food chain (one for the haters) this episode takes listeners on a trip to the tropical forests of Borneo, digging the Channel Tunnel and close encounters with a jaguar in Belize! 

The tallest trees in the forest often face the strongest winds - so what's it like to be a Vice Chancellor? What about a female Vice Chancellor? This is a fascinating insight into the vision, values and life-balance of someone leading by example and wanting to influence change. We are honoured to have Eunice as a guest, and she doesn't disappoint. 

Final boarding call: Sabah, Borneo
