I came up with the concept for ToC as part of my work on City's first ever MA Podcasting course. Hence why at the end of the first episode, I direct listeners to the Word on the Square website which will continue to be a "sandpit" for future students. So be sure to check out what the new cohort come up with in 2025.


In the meantime, although I have now graduated from City, I wanted to explore further the Tales of City concept and collect some of the wonderful stories from a university that I have grown to love. Join me as I speak with the fascinating people that make the institution what it is.
