We sat down with the indefatigable Professor Amelia Hadfield, Head of Politics here at Surrey, to talk all things Brexit.    

We'll be honest, this podcast was just an excuse to ask Amelia the question that was most on our mind - when does she think we will be able to stop talking about Brexit?    

 We also had the chance to speak to Professor Holger Breinlich, who talked us through the economic impact of Brexit.

To mark Mental Health Awareness Week, we invited Simon Downs and Laurence Drew to discuss men's mental health.

In this episode, our world-renowned immunology expert, Professor Deborah Dunn-Walters, goes through some of the burning questions we have about COVID-19, the vaccine roll-out, and what the "new normal" may look like. 

Does the UK have a food problem? With 20 per cent of Year 6 children being classed as overweight, that might seem like a fairly obvious question. So we've spoken to Professor Jane Ogden, Dr Veronica Giancintucci and Dr Adam Collins to see what they think we can do to get the UK back on track.

Is AI going to take Katy Perry's job? Is AI the future of cyberwarfare? Are we on the path to creating the next Terminator? These are some of the not-so-daft questions we've put to our experts on the inaugural episode of Surrey Speaks - the brand new podcast from the University of Surrey.

Featuring Professor Ryan Abbott and Professor Alan Woodward.
