Jesus College’s Access and Outreach team – Matt Williams, Leah Carvel and Imaan Ali – have launched their first podcast series for prospective students.

---

What? Why? When? aims to engage, encourage and support young people to consider applying to top universities like Oxford by sharing information and advice on a range of topics, from admissions tests to choosing a subject. It also aims to recreate the Oxford tutorial experience for listeners, and debunk common misconceptions about life and learning at Oxford.

 

The podcast builds on the success of the team’s YouTube channel, which now has over 27k subscribers – the largest following across Oxbridge colleges. Matt, who hosts the new series, says, “We want to share what it’s like to sit in on an Oxford tutorial, to chat with our lovely students, and to unravel the world’s mysteries!”

The Trinity term series, which features eight episodes, was recorded in College’s new SOUTHWORKS Digital Media Lab. The first episode asks ‘Who Creates Language?’.
