Don't Stand So Close To Me: Recent Episodes
Gabby Van Jennians, Elise Rose and Holly Benton
Welcome to Don't Stand So Close To Me, the new podcast about all the things we can relate to only in a COVID world. Hosts Gabby, Elise and Holly take on a whole load of topics and talk to those who have, let's say, a better understanding of it than them. They'll be having a laugh as they go along, and finding ways to bring Benedict Cumberbatch into the conversation whenever they can... if you like what you hear, make sure to subscribe!
We are back! In this brand new episode hosts Gabby, Elise and Holly chat about all the Uni chaos that has happened during Semester A: how it feels going back face to face, online lectures and restrictions being eased.

In this episode, Gabby, Elise and Holly chat about how the lockdown has hit all of us where (for some reason) it hurts the most...our body image. The co-presidents of the The University of Glasgow Food and Body Positivity Society, Maddie and Thalia, also joined in with this episode to share their thoughtful insight on this common issue.
This one gets quite deep as personal experiences are shared and passionate rants will definitely ensue. It's definitely a longer episode but also definitely worth it!

In this episode, Gabby and Elise chat about travelling in a restricted world all whilst introducing their newest podcast host, Holly. The very talented actress, podcaster, director (the list really does go on) Juliet Lemar also joins this episode to chat about how she has dealt with restricted travelling all the way from sunny LA.
Many interesting (yet still quite weird) facts about both travelling and LA are discussed...you never know when you might need to hop on an ostrich to get to the shops.
