For me, this is more of a podcast I recommend rather than one that sustains me. After all, I am not a grad student; I just work with many of them. And they all need some help/comfort/encouragement. There's plenty of that here, all coming from someone who understands just how hard it can be.
If you're in academia or knows someone who is, you need this podcast in your life! Elana is a wonderful and engaging host who's passionate about grad student life and ensuring that institutions are treating everyone equitably. She chooses excellent guests and is a talented interviewer. This podcast is part of my weekly rotation and should be part of yours as well!
I love how self aware and socially conscious Elana is !!! Elana please host an international student !!!!!!
I stumbled across this podcast the day it aired and I’m so glad I did. There are plenty of grad student podcasts, but Elana is a great host who keeps it light and informative! That can be a tough balance, but she does it so well. I’m a second year psych PhD student and I love hearing the different perspectives of the students across different years! You must subscribe.
