Switchboard speaks to the King's College chaplain about the role of Christianity in pastoral care and how the values of faith help with modern issues. We also visit Cambridge's Baha'i community, the Downing College choir and speak to a third year medic from Luton who has converted to Islam.

This week we hear from a porter who spent 13 years as a paratrooper in the British Army, four international students who have served in their countries’ armies, and a daring student who is defying his father by boxing for the University.

In this episode Switchboard speaks to a young Welsh poet, two gifted polyglots, and a group of students who are learning to speak Latin.

In Switchboard's first episode we speak to the son of a Kurdish refugee now studying at Cambridge, a student who got married on her year abroad in Russia, and the King's College professor who hosts a Syrian refugee in his home. We speak to Faraj, who left Aleppo and now lives in Cambridge, live in the studio.
