(Freshers)
We received affiliation with the University of Stirling Students Union in September 2021, and were able to attend the Clubs & Society Freshers Fayre Day 1.
Visitors to our table helped create a Fresher’s Special 2021 Podcast episode.
September 2021
(Give It A Go)
We then hosted a Give It A Go on September 30th 2021.
Two teams completed a 30×3 Podcast Challenge (30 minutes to create a 3 minute podcast, with show notes, podcast cover and theme music).
There was also time to play, in the form of society exclusive games:
- PodTrumps (‘like TopTrumps’);
- Podcast Cover Jigsaw,
- Podcast Title to Genre Match
We also enjoyed some food and drink in a Covid-19 safe way.
