Shownotes

What did Captain Kirk love about being a University of Leeds student? Listen to Chris Pine (3:35) recall his life in Leeds, including how a barbecue at his Brudenell Road home was the “glorious cap to a great year”.

You'll also hear:

  • elite rugby player Jodie Cunningham (Medical Sciences 2013), who introduced her England teammates to the Otley Run (20:00)
  • how Leeds ignited a passion for equality in Fiona Cannon OBE (English 1985), a director at Lloyds Banking Group (33:50)
  • Engineering professor Pietro Valdastri explaining how tiny robots can travel into a patient’s lungs to tackle disease (12:34)

And finally, it’s worth listening to hear the enthusiasm at our Global Café, where students from across the world come together for some weekly fun (27:36).
