University may be the first time you have lived away from home, and it can be a huge adjustment—especially if you are not only changing city but also country. Annavi talks frankly about the challenges of that adjustment and how the support she received from the health and wellbeing team gave her strategies to cope.

Podcast Gold celebrated the very best in British podcasting. Nominees and award winners gave us insights on creativity, the production process and the shifting podcast landscape.

Can podcasts survive the video onslaught? And should they? Is something lost from the intimate connection that audio creates with listeners if visual versions predominate?

In Listen… and Watch? figures from across the best of British podcasting provide their angle on this ongoing debate. From Hannah Moore at the Guardian (who loves audio) to Andy Wood, director of Traitors Uncloaked (leaning towards video), discover who’s following the trend and who’s finding new opportunities to stand out.

Written and presented by City St George's podcast student Julie Beguin, this episode – part of the PodGold series – takes you on a lyrical journey through the arguments to reach an unexpected conclusion. 

Listen… and Watch? is produced by Julie Beguin and Jackie Imas.
