    Nov 26 2025
    Grab your cuppa (or your Tesco’s finest prosecco 🍾) because this week’s Connections Corner is pure chaos and comfort in equal measure.
    Hosts Ivana and Hesham catch up with journalism graduate Jordan Renwick, who talks about:
    🎓 Her upcoming graduation (and her fear of falling on stage)
    💡 The unforgettable Newsweek that made everyone cry (and bond for life)
    🦆 The great campus duck-feeding debate
    🥴 The most questionable student meals ever sent in (gravy pasta, anyone?)
    ☕ The wholesome reality of coffee-fuelled deadlines and library “office hours” with friends
    It’s funny, nostalgic and very UoG — full of inside jokes, heartfelt advice, and the kind of laughter you can only get when your best mates are in the room.
    🎧 Listen now to find out how Jordan went from nervous commuter student to confident journalist ready to cross the stage (in heels 👠).
