In this special end-of-year episode of The Swinburne Professional Staff Network Podcast, Kristy & Nic celebrate a major milestone, Episode 30 and they take time to reflect on a big year of conversations, connection, and community across Swinburne.

Looking back on 2025, they revisit standout moments from the podcast, including powerful discussions on accessibility, international celebrations marking Sarawak’s 25-year anniversary, community stories with Mai and Selena, and a dynamic panel featuring placement students working as professional staff. They also reflect on the evolving purpose of SPSN and the podcast’s role in amplifying professional staff voices while bringing all Swinburne staff together.

Kristy shares her personal highlights from the year, from recording the Sarawak celebration episode and Nic reflects on the impact of student-led episodes and the exciting career pathways that have followed for those involved.

There’s also BIG NEWS for the podcast, with The Swinburne Professional Staff Podcast officially joining Swinburne Radio, thanks to the support of Peter Mercarto, and also a sneak peek at what’s lined up for 2026.

As the year comes to a close, we both extend our best wishes to all listeners and invite staff from across the university to get in touch and be part of future episodes.

Thank you so much for your ongoing support and for listening, see you in 2026
xo Kristy and Nicola
