Welcome Back

Hi, Welcome Back after Reading Week…

This second half of the semester I am hoping we will be making some actual podcasts, in light of this, I am including some dates for your diary.

This will probably be the last major email I send - as Robyn will be taking the reigns on communications from here-on.

I should also add that this should be one of the last email we send through MailChimp, as we switch to ‘SendInBlue’ will us switching permenantly By January 2022 - you should already be registered via the wonders of modern technology; however, if not visit HERE.

Also this second half semester, during specifically November, you’ll be able to borrow equipment from the StirPod Lending Library, date of launch to be confirmed. You will need to arrange collection with either myself, Robyn or Andrew.

We are also applying to the StirlingFund for around £1000 - some of that is to launch the StirPod Network and another part is to add value to the Lending Library - some additional equipment purchases etc.

Over reading week I also launched our discord page - link here

So - without further ado (sorry for the short notice on some of these, though they are available 24/7 via our website’s calendar page)

Some other thoughts

I’d like us to think about a few things ahead of tomorrow night:

  1. What monthly or bi-monthly episode could you make (of 3-7 minutes long) for the StirPod Podcast Feed?

  2. Is there something you need that we are not providing/provisioning/facilitating as a society to help you better make your podcast?

  3. Honest workshop feedback/are the online recordings working for you?

  4. What would/should the StirPod logo look like ahead of Refreshers?

All the best

StirPod President
