Making the Most of Your Creative Degree

Episode 19 of 99% Perspiration

This is the first live special of 99% Perspiration. It was broadcast during Freshers' Week at the University of Sunderland, where I work as an Academic Tutor of radio. They invited us to create a special, live, one-off programme tailor-made to incoming students - "Making the Most of your Creative Degree".

A big thanks is in order for Matthew Donnachie and Grant Lowery, who were our sound-designers.

I'd love to hear back from you about whether this is useful (or not) if you're not based at the University of Sunderland - our Twitter is @99Podcast.
