S6. Ep9. The Trodden Path
from Switchboard Hosted by Varsity
Inspired by our own quarter-life-crises, we searched out current Cambridge post-graduates. We wanted to ask them what they were doing when they were our age and how they chose their post-graduate studies. This episode has lots of helpful advice on how to think about post-graduate education from funding to life plans. Thanks to Ellie Bladon, Grayson Pallen and Charlotte Husnjak. Our music for this episode is a wonderful choral piece from Lucy Walker.

Lived a Full Life
FactUnion
Obituaries say "she lived a full life" and stop there. Each week two hosts take one ordinary person, like a school-bus driver, a switchboard operator or a small-town hairdresser, read their short obituary aloud, then dig through newspaper archives, yearbooks, oral histories and family memories to find out exactly how full that life was. Expect warmth, surprises and real laughs, and one detail even the family never knew. Every claim checked using FactUnion's fact-checking process; every source is in the episode notes. Performed by synthetic voices. Supported by SagaSeal.
