Uni-verse Podcast

Marie and Leo reveal the Uni-Verse and SASS 2018 collaborative advent calendar audioplay: Present Perfect!

Florentina, Elli, James and Leo sit down at the rectangular table of podcasting to diliberate on which poetry topic they would ban, what poems they want to write and whether it's such a good idea to write poems about others after all.

It's Florentina's debut on the podcast! In a conversation with Charlotte and Leo, she recounts her unforeseen realization of being a poet, discloses her longstanding fascination with English literature and shares her plans for the future, which, against all odds, contain prose writing. Hit play and enjoy a wonderful chat on writing, reading, and performing!

This time it was Philipp's turn to be grilled by Charlotte and Leo - and he did well! Listen in to hear Philipp read his poem "When I'll be truly happy", talk about his ongoing projects and his plans for the future!

Inspiration is in the air! Carrie, Matthias, Andi and Leo bring precious pieces of writing that have inspired them in their craft

Writer, free-lancer and member of the Uni-Verse Angie sat down with Leo and Charlotte, bringing us an early Christmas story, letting us be part of her joy in the celebration and revealing worthwhile insights into her process, as well as a sneak-peak of current projects.

Selina doesn't only do the society's finance - she also writes! Charlotte and Leo sit down with her to hear her poem "Hear me Roar" and discuss music and writing as self-expression, singing, as well as inspirations for writing! Check it out!

"What you fear to write most about, write about that." - Holly, Livia, Charlotte and Leo discuss the merits of this piece of advice. Should you write about things you're scared to tell other people? Should you approach topics you're scared of? Why are you scared of them? Because they're taboo or because they're difficult to handle? The four try to answer all these questions and more in a jam-packed episode of podcast-goodness - enjoy!

For this episode Charlotte and Leo had a chat with Andi, who read the beginning of one of his wonderful short stories, called "Mountain Impass". Meandering as always, the conversation touched on writing guides, writing problems and trends in fantasy publishing. Enjoy!

Holly is on this time, reading an excerpt from chapter 2 of her story "Chewy Hair" and talking to Charlotte and Leo about her experience studying writing in New York, the importance of character for plot and many other fun things writing-related!

Recording 13 episodes was great fun, but not all of that fun always made it into the final edit - so here you go: an episode chock-full with outtakes!

Finally, founder and president of the Uni-Verse, Marie, has made it on the podcast! Tune in for a wonderful piece called "Lessons of the Berry Picker" and a rambly discussion of all things dream-related!

The tables have turned, the roles are reversed, the world is upside down: host Leo is on the other side of the table, being interviewed by co-hosts Elli and Charlotte. We talk about egocentrism, favourite musicians, and Leo's neurotic approach towards blogging.

In this episode Charlotte, Elli, Dora, Philipp and Leo sit down to discuss an important topic - how to write women and men. What's important about it? Where can you go wrong? And what does the Bechdel Test have to do with any of it? Give it a listen and find out.

Episode 10 already! This time we interviewed Elizabeth and the conversation really went places! Hope you like it!
