Third Series of the Discover Central Podcast is Launched

Central is excited to announce the launch of series three of its Discover Central Podcast. The podcast takes an inside look at Central and introduces listeners to members of the School’s student, staff and alumni community.   

The first series launched in July and focused on work and projects that were being undertaken in response to the global Covid-19 pandemic.  Series two was released to coincide with the start of the 2020/21 academic year and featured research and teaching methods focused around anti -racism, equity and inclusion.  It also marked what would have been, pre-pandemic, the Graduation Ceremony for the Class of 2020 by catching up with the Alumni Office and finding out more about the benefits available to Central’s graduates.  And in a special bonus episode, it provided information, guidance and advice for applicants to Central’s BA Acting courses, from making an application through to filming and submitting an audition tape.

The launch of the third series was timed to coincide with International Women’s day.  For Series 3, episode 1, host Megan sat down with Central’s Dr Naomi Paxton (Knowledge Exchange Fellow) to discuss her research, which focuses on feminist activism, the suffrage movement, and the cultural histories of political and feminist theatre. 

Central’s Student Union Women’s Officers Celeste de Palma and Lauryn Jackman also featured. 

You can listen to the first episode on our dedicated Discover Central page or wherever you normally listen to podcasts.  While you’re there, be sure to subscribe so that you don’t miss any of our future episodes.
