I'm a second-year English Literature student at the University of Edinburgh with a wider interest in politics and Spanish. As Radio Editor for The Student newspaper, I produce and host a weekly podcast and live radio show as well as write weekly pieces covering culture, literature, and university life. I also host a show on Fresh Air Radio, bringing together music and friendly chat live on air every week. Through my work, I love exploring stories in all forms and sharing my commentary on culture and our chaotic world.
Stephen Graham's new show Adolescence has swept headlines this week following its release on 13 March, with the likes of Keir Starmer and Sir Gareth Southgate discussing what the show teaches us.

"It is literally impossible to be a woman. You are so beautiful and so smart, and it kills me that you don't think you're good enough." This line from Barbie encapsulates so much of what Gerwig's films are about-girlhood, childhood, and life. With such care and attention to detail in both her storytelling and characters,...

My birthdays often featured spy kits, and the whodunnit quickly became one of my favourite genres. There is something cosy about these crime stories that goes beyond their typical...
If you're anything like me the festive season is already well underway- as evidenced by the sizeable dent in my bank account spent on Cadbury's Christmas Puds and the fact that I'm already on my third rewatch of Love Actually. After you've inevitably had to take out a small bank loan to cover a festive...
From unexpected fashion choices to red carpet antics and wholesome interactions, these small moments added charm to Hollywood's biggest night. Ariana's Look of Pure Pride Although I still believeWicked was robbed, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande stole the show with their breathtaking opening mash-up of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," "Home," and "Defying Gravity."
★★★★ Contains spoilers for the finale of Season One. Whilst I loved the first season of Shrinking, I cannot say I was highly anticipating the second season after what felt like a jarring end, when Heidi Gardner, playing one of Jason Segel's clients in the show, ended the final episode by pushing her husband off a...
