Friends Across the Pond Podcast was started by Claire Barnes to connect with friends in the United States. Claire is currently a graduate student in Scotland. During quarantine, she wants to talk, laugh, and think with friends in the States. Each episode features a different guest/ friend! This series is graciously edited by Amanda Obando.
In this episode, I talk with my dear friend from college Kelley Lou! We met on the internet and decided to become roommates. The rest is history! We talk about graduate school and the competitive nature of pre-professional tracks, her various research projects over the years, and other passions like gardening, painting, and visiting museums! Hope you enjoy this episode. :)
In this episode, I talk with my good friend Cana McGhee. Cana and I met in high school at a theology summer camp in Atlanta. We ended up going to the same university and stayed friends throughout our four years of college! We talk about Cana’s academic interests in ethnomusicology (and her PhD at Harvard), race relations in the United States, her Goodreads reading list, and more! Hope you enjoy this episode. :)
In this episode, I talk with my best friend from high school, Victoria Assad. Victoria is a marine scientist, archeologist, sister, child of divorce, and avid reader. On top of all of this, she is an amazing friend! We touch on topics such as growing up in Los Angeles, the California missions, deep-sea mining, and more! Hope you enjoy this episode. :)
