We would be grateful for any feedback so that we can make improvements and plan further episodes.

Chloe Courtenay (Senior Academic Developer) is hosting the series and invites anyone interested in promoting best practice in their area to a wider audience to contact her to record a podcast. This can be done remotely via ReCap or there is a podcasting booth available in Augustine House fitted with professional equipment which can be booked for recordings.

The podcast has been launched in response to feedback from colleagues asking for information that can be listened to, e.g., on a commute and a plea to better advertise information and resources that are often hidden or siloed. It is a work in progress, and we are very happy to adapt to the needs and wishes of listeners.
