Student Podcast Creatives
Did you hear? We are launching a Student Podcast.
Wilson College is changing directions from Taking the Lead, a multimedia public forum, to a student podcast working group; Launching in Fall 2025.
Student Podcast Creatives
A Wilson College of Leadership & Civic Engagement, student podcast working group Supported by: Sherman Centre for Digital Scholarship (MACPOD) and CMFU 93.3 Radio.
Engaging through Sound
Blending on-demand storytelling with the spirit of campus radio, the WC Podcast offers creative space for students to explore new formats, share their voices, and connect with scholars and community leaders on hot topics related to leadership and civic engagement.
Sharing Experiences
This podcast centers on dialogue about/with leadership and raises questions about current societal issues. By drawing from a range of disciplines which inform the field of leadership and civic studies, as well as the insights of those who practice leadership and civic action in community, the student podcast will serve as a conduit to stimulate thoughtful and timely discussion and debate.
2025-26 Theme
Tomorrow starts Today: Next Generation in Civic Action
In both turbulent and more hopeful times, effective leadership and civic engagement require creativity, active participation, and collaboration from all members of society. In response, Wilson College’s current theme: Tomorrow Starts Today: Next Generation in Civic Action reflects on how young people participate in various parts of society.
