Nick Davis is a second year HSPS student at Homerton College, University of Cambridge. He is the former Co-Chair of the Cambridge University Labour Club and current Debates Officer at the Cambridge Union. Nick loves a good political argument and is currently engrossed in learning a bit more about Bolivian politics. He has also been involved in activism against British arms sales to Saudi Arabia. He is a big fan of Billy Joel, Kendrick Lamar and loves a good psychoanalytical deep dive about TV's best anti-heroes. “David was a brilliant interviewer who challenged me to really think. It was a bizarre but great experience to have!” - Nick Davis --- WHY? COFFEE'S ON ME, DAVID QUAN 权丁文 TL;DR: To process my emotions after a grueling campaign for President of The Cambridge Union, I reflected upon the influences of my late Grandfather and wrote him a letter: https://linktr.ee/DavidQuan . Drawing inspiration from him, I hope to learn more from others through genuine discussions – giving listeners heartfelt conversations filled with authentic insights, and giving guests legacy-worthy interviews to treasure. To converse with someone without a strict time limit or structure – meticulously engaging in a curious process of clarifications or elaborations – is not only a rare privilege. This longer format also allows the sharing of otherwise unshared or unappreciated anecdotes. There are appeals to sound-bite media, of course, but the metrics that matter most to me are more about the uniqueness of contribution than measures of virality. Over time, I hope to be able to better deconstruct guests' fascinating experiences – to seamlessly tease out the insights for listeners to enjoy and learn from while cooking, commuting, relaxing, or walking their pet. But this personal project is fundamentally as much about what we can learn from the guests as it is to give them (current) legacy-worthy interviews. My top priority is for guests to enjoy a unique opportunity to challenge, learn about, and be themselves; hopefully, they will be able to keep recordings of in-depth, heartfelt conversations to reflect on in years’ time. And the best part for guests? Coffee’s on Me, David Quan 权丁文 --- NOMINATE A GUEST Please contact me to nominate someone.
