Americans are losing confidence in higher education, alumni are carrying record level student debt loads, and charitable giving in general is shifting more towards social impact causes — all of which makes it harder for higher ed institutions to make their case for support. In today's podcast episode, we look at strategies for higher ed fundraising, including how to engage young alumni, the role of major donors, attracting corporate partners, the value of give-to-get, and more.

Emily Berry and our host Julia Copus discuss the often overlooked poetry of Wuthering Heights author Emily Brontë, focusing on ‘I'll Come When Thou Art Saddest', in 'Poetry Break'.

​Tune in to a new episode! Your podcast host, Matt Crespin, MPH, RDH, FADHA, welcomes Emily Berry and Mina Ghorbani, dental hygiene students from West Los Angeles College who recently won 1st Place in the #ADHA23 Undergraduate Student Professional Presentation Program sponsored by Haleon. Emily and Mina discuss their project on microchip tooth sensors and the impact these devices could have on oral systemic health. Matt also shares updates from ADHA and highlights articles on ADHA Hygienist Hub.  

Actress Emily Berry joined us for episode 068 of the Actorcast and she did not disappoint! In this episode, we talk about Emily's journey as an actress, her process in discovering and rediscovering her type, and what actors should avoid doing in their professional lives as actors. We also discuss the importance of self-care in the industry and how to overcome certain challenges. Follow Emily and her journey @officialemilyberry. Emily earned her SAG card in 1997, while in Chicago, shooting a commercial with Michael Jordan. Today, she is a face you easily recognize having over 50+ credits in both television and film. Her diverse TV credits include roles on shows such as “Grey's Anatomy,” “New Girl,” “NCIS,” “Young Sheldon,” “Fresh Off The Boat,” and too many national commercials to count. Her film credits include projects such as “Logan,” “Pearl Harbor,” “No Man of God,” and many more. Follow my work at https://patrick-mcandrew.com.

What's stopping us telling the stories of women's inner lives, or listening to them, especially once they become mothers, or are over forty? Actresses discover there are far fewer roles once they're no longer seen as young; whilst middle-aged and older women's lives are conflated, as if they are having exactly the same experiences. Ian McMillan is joined by Victoria Smith, author of 'Hags: the demonisation of middle-aged women' , by poet Patrick McGuinness (sharing poems from his forthcoming collection 'Blood Feather') by Jenny Lewis, author of 'Gilgamesh Retold' (her retellings of Mesopotamian myth reveal a female inn-keeper at the edge of the world) , and by folk legends Marry Waterson and Lisa Knapp (performing as 'Hack Poets Guild ) who share haunting songs of silenced and traduced women. We also hear our latest BBC Centenary commission - this week it's 'Deep Listening' by Emily Berry.

This week, Waterloo Road is doing its storyline again, and it's more than a little tiresome. This time, it's Jez's turn to be accused of something awful by a student when a fun run goes awry.

As a special Christmas treat this year, we're making a Patreon episode available to all. This is the first instalment of our reading/writing of Tom's rather cringeworthy Waterloo Road fanfic. Enjoy! In 2010, a 16-year-old Tom Beasley decided to post Waterloo Road fanfiction on the internet. Little did he know that, more than a decade later, he'd be re-reading it to cringeworthy effect on a podcast while questioning his career choices as a professional writer. That's right! This new Patreon series delves into the two existing chapters of the short-lived fanfiction Rimmer's Return, in which Jack Rimmer flies back to the UK to take the helm of a new school — only to be shocked by the arrival of faces from his past. In this opening chapter, we learn exactly how long Jack has been away and meet a potential problem pupil at the new school. ----- *** If you want to subscribe to the PATREON page and hear the other fanfiction episodes, visit http://www.patreon.com/waterlooroadpod/ for full details.

The emotional conclusion of Grantly and Fleur's storyline dominates the latest episode of Waterloo Road, which allows the mighty Philip Martin Brown to flex his considerable acting muscles.
