Ali A launches the new era of LOUD with an emotional, funny, and nostalgic episode about the past, the present and the future.

In Segment 1, Ali explores the who, what, when, where and why of LOUD, talking about where she’s been over the past year, the origin story of LOUD, and the intention behind every episode of the podcast.

Dani, Isla, and Sophie join her for the LOUD Table, where they talk about the courses they will be studying at university, why they chose those subjects, and the new experiences they are looking forward to. They reminisce together about their past and their secondary school experiences, giving advice for their younger selves and exploring what it means to look after the inner child. They also discuss the impact that people - including teachers – can have on our life choices and interests, and Ali A shares some advice about connecting with something even when you don’t enjoy it or have been discouraged and put off. Finally, we talk about some of the things we will be taking with us to university and into our futures.
