  • 27 Years Later (Episode 42)

    In this episode I talk a bit about how tv and film has always been an inspiring thing for me. Now at 27 years old, it’s still like that, just in a different way. It’s cool to see how far media has come since I was younger. So that’s what this is all about - hope you enjoy :)

  • This Isn't Our First Podcast with Yasmin Evering (Episode 37)

    I met this really cool person in my first year of university, we hung out here and there. But by our final year, we became really good friends and worked on a class project together where we created our own podcast….so this is sort of like a reunion. Yasmin is one of the coolest people I think I’ve ever met, she’s inspiring, funny, and overall just so great to chat with. In this episode we talk about our very first collective podcast, the film industry, mental health and of course - imposter syndrome.
