During the first covid-19 lockdown in Ireland, four early career researchers and two postdocs at Trinity’s arts and humanities institute, The Trinity Long Room Hub ('The Hub'), started chatting about new possibilities for producing and sharing academic knowledge through a podcast.

For the final episode, we look back and reflect on individual episodes and the broader process of creating the podcast, producing the first season, and now handing it off to the next team!

Thank you all for listening to our first season.

We look forward to welcoming you back to the Hublic soon.
