Switchboard

This week we hear from a porter who spent 13 years as a paratrooper in the British Army, four international students who have served in their countries’ armies, and a daring student who is defying his father by boxing for the University.

This week we speak to a young Welsh poet, two gifted polyglots, and a group of students who are learning to speak Latin.

Our first episode (on 28 Jan 2018) is called ‘Leaving Home’ and features a student whose mother fled Turkey as a teenager, a student who got married on her year abroad in Russia, and a Syrian refugee who is being hosted by a professor at King’s College.
