Robyn Perkins - My Friend Went to Harvard

Robyn Perkins is an American comic based in London who does one-woman stand up shows about relationships and dating which use neuroscience to explain the things we do in the world of romance. Robyn also went to Harvard University (like the actual Harvard, in America and everything), studying landscape architecture, and worked in the field for years before becoming a comedian. She rubbed shoulders with some of the biggest names in that world, none of whom I am even slightly aware of, and worked on some huge projects including the Olympic Village for the Rio di Janeiro Olympic Games in 2016. I've always wondered what it'd be like to go to the most prestigious university in the world, so we had a chat about it. Also at the end of this episode I put in a bonus recording of a roast battle with my friend Milo Edwards from a few days ago. Settle in, this is a long one.
