URY's Head of Music, Joe Brearley, and his good pal and fellow broadcaster Ethan, had a bodge around Parklife 2023, and talk to the lovely patrons about their experience, as well as review the music, and talk (too much) about the weather. If you are interested to see what a music festival is all about, want to recount the absolute scenes of this year's parklife, or fancy listening to two blokes trundle about and have a good natter, this is the podcast for you. (warning: this podcast contains explicit language and drug references - viewer discretion is advised!)
Joe Brearley, URY's Head of Music, interviewed the brilliant young artist Santino Le Saint about his new EP, New Material, as well as his tours, his music tastes growing up and today, and his recent experiences on the runway.
It's been a long break, I know (blame it on exam season!) but I'm back with the penultimate episode of the academic year for you. I have collaborated with Kim and Sania from the All Things Considered podcast at the Univertisty of York. Please note that the episode discusses mental health, and issues surrounding it at University which can be a sensitive topic. As final year students we offer our top tips to help you manage your mental health and signpost you towards mental health services that are availble at The University of York.
I hope you enjoy. Thank you for listening!
