This week I am in Australia joined by Eureka Science Prize winning Journalist Micheal Troy from the ABC, to discuss all about the darker side of Australia's native Eucalyptus tree.

In the wake of devastating bushfires across the continent, it seems that some species are more in favour of the fire than it first appears.

Welcome to Season Two of Mimazine on Air!

This season is all about reporting from around the globe. We are starting in the Masai Mara national game reserve in Kenya to discuss all about the changing relationship between the wildlife, environment and people there.

For this, I spoke to reserve guide, Ezekial Laparan, and Masai community leader, Issac Naimodu.

Enjoy!

Sustainable and creative are two words which often don’t fit that easily into the fashion industry, let alone together. 

This week, I had the pleasure of hosting Ilona Phillips - a creative and passionate sustainable fashion designer.  

We discuss about fast fashion and industry changes towards being more sustainable. Ily also tells us what it’s like being a creative in an industry that really tries to take that away from you. 

What a way to finish Mimazine on Air's first season!

Cameron Yule joins me on the show this week to share his views on the gender stereotypes and inequality faced by intellectuals.

Discussing the wider societal issue and drawing upon his own experiences representing Durham University on University Challenge, Cameron asks some really insightful, thought-provoking questions. We have a lot to think about!

But how does he fair up against a pointless trivia quiz?

In the light of the UK's first ever conviction for FGM, I am joined by Virginia Raffalei from the Durham Student Halo Project.

We are often deceived into thinking that honour-based violence, forced marriages and FGM don't happen here in the UK. 

Sadly, Virginia tells us otherwise. 

"When the whole world is silent, even one voice becomes powerful." - Malala Yousafazi

A powerful, upsetting message but one society needs to hear.

The Halo Project is a charity raising awareness, educating and fighting against the Human Rights abuses discussed in this episode. Tell out more about them here: https://www.haloproject.org.uk/

This week I had the pleasure of talking to Lorna Cruickshank: a full-time masters student as well as a full-time athlete with Scottish Hockey.

We discuss about being a Female Athlete. From participation levels, balancing training to fuelling performance, gender disparity and media representation in sport.

This girl really does!

Welcome to Mimazine on Air's first Episode! Here I am discussing all about Veganuary with Talia from Durham's VegSoc.

We have reached the middle of January, or should I say, Veganuary? Adopting a vegan lifestyle this January has been a hot topic of conversation, all over the media and bursting off supermarket shelves.

In this episode, Talia explains what a vegan lifestyle entails, gives us *food for thought*, life hacks and busts some vegan myths...
