A quick introduction to Sharing things, a new podcast from the University of Edinburgh. The first episode will be broadcast on Thursday 26 September 2019 so please join us then.

In this episode, guests Prince Chakanyuka and Kezia Dugdale talk about staple diets, bringing diversity to politics, Gordon Aikman, childhood and more.

Each episode of Sharing things is a conversation between two members of our university community. It could be a student, a member of staff or a graduate, the only thing they have in common at the beginning is Edinburgh. We start with an object. A special, treasured or significant item that we have asked each guest to bring to the conversation. What happens next is sometimes funny, sometimes moving and always unexpected.
