Working from home getting you down? Grab a coffee and have a listen to the first episode in Series 2 of The PlaceNet Podcast.
We talk to Tom from the ISE about their coronavirus reporting, Dee from Swansea University about working from home, trustees Ciaran and David on how their universities are coping with the crisis, and to a very special guest about Baby Yoda.
ALL the trustees (except for Alex, Ciaran and Tom) sat down for a chat after this year's AGM. It had been a long day, and everything got a bit silly, but we also had a proper chat about what we get out of trusteeship, and why you should apply.
Also featuring aquarium crabs, tuk tuks, indie bands, and details of the upcoming Masterclasses and Conference.
Last Thursday Simeon was in London at the ISE offices - a perfect excuse to pop a microphone in the bag, have a chat with fellow PlaceNet trustee, and ISE Membership Manager Tom.
We talk mushroom farms, Shoreditch eateries, Norse mythology, ISE data, and why people still think he works for Enterprise Rent-a-car.
Simeon talks to fellow Swansea Uni peeps Dee and Andrew about their placements in the third sector.
Throw together penguins, classic movies, and one of the most popular student work experience platforms in the UK, and you have Episode 3 of The PlaceNet Podcast.
Ollie tells us about the hows and whys behind Rate My Placement and their decision to no longer advertise unpaid internships.

The second EVER episode. Let's get this ball rolling.
Guest co-host Alex, and regular Simeon talk all things Student Circus and international students with Tripti Maheshwari.
Also including car washes, split hairs, and why Alex is never co-hosting the podcast ever again.
Hi! Welcome to the first ever episode of The PlaceNet Podcast!
This first episode is just a quick chat between Sarah and Simeon, PlaceNet Trustees, about what the podcast will be about, why we're doing this podcast thing, and how we got involved in it all.
We'll also cover our favourite moments from the 2019 PlaceNet Conference, and talk True Crime, Mattress Sales, Nintendo Game Boys, and Spanish Hotels At Night.
