Student journalism: Podcasts galore
Hey all, I am making a new pledge to myself which is to try and keep this blog updated once a week (not at the same time) in an attempt to force me to write and reflect on how things are going. With Redbrick and essays I am finding it far to easy to be… »
Where are we now?
This weekend I have sort of had a couple of days off and although relatively relaxing I couldn’t help but take stock of where we are in Redbrick this year. I have been in Birmingham since the 5th of September, so pretty much 6 weeks of hard work are sitting behind me now and it… »

JEE Camp interview – Future of Redbrick
I have been absent on my blog for far to long, but to quote one of my deputy editor’s twitter feed ‘Pete Blakemore @petren Glad your account is quieter than usual, does this mean you finally got your well deserved rest?’
It has meant that, indeed fully rested I am attempting to return (to my blogging… »
