GBA 279 Liz #2

What this episode covers

In GBA 279 we get even better acquainted with Liz. We explore what has happened to her since the last time she was on the show and how the ways in which we know each other have changed since then, including working on Stand Up Tragedy together and her journey into academia and teaching. We also talk about Star Trek, myths, social policy and bereavement. An extra plug from Liz (which I have failed to add into the episode but which I will add to the audio in the future) was for the David T Bailey scholarship fund: http://bailey.history.msu.edu/ Content Note: death, bereavement, illness Liz's first GBA: https://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/gba-4-liz Liz plugs: Me generally and specifically The Family Tree: http://thefamilytreepodcast.co.uk/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thefamilytreepodcast My website: http://davepickeringstoryteller.co.uk Me on twitter: https://twitter.com/goosefat101 She also plugs community.
