Really shows you what it means to do a PhD. Great Podcast!
Apple Podcasts5EastDarlingGermany4 years ago - Great podcast about PhD life
I love this podcast. Such a valuable behind-the-scenes view of PhD life in the humanities. Really witty and bright as well as well-informed with good structure (it’s never rambling or boring!), and always an interesting selection of topics. I found it really helpful when considering whether to do a PhD and applying, but it’s really supportive and reassuring if you’re further along that journey too. Wish they did merch!
