WeAreSTS Season 2 logo

Episode library for WeAreSTS, an official podcast of UCL Department of Science and Technology Studies (STS). WeAreSTS includes project work from STS students and staff. The host and producer is Professor Joe Cain.

WeAreSTS Episodes

Our episodes explore research or teaching themes that are part of the research subject, “Science and Technology Studies,” which we abbreviate as STS. Some episodes will be interviews about active research projects. Other episodes will support STS subjects in teaching or public engagement. We also have career-focused episodes interviewing STS alumni about life after university: how did they make that transition into their working life, and what advice do they have for those thinking about studying with us.

We also broadcast episodes from the STSNewsRoom.

Podcasting with Purpose

Our overall goal is to help teachers, applicants, and influencers answer questions about our subject:

  • What is STS?
  • What does learning in the subject involve?
  • Why would I want to do this, too?
  • What do people do with an STS degree?
  • Is this career direction for me?

WeAreSTS is available for listening on Apple Podcast, Spotify, and most other podcast listening apps. Our host platform is RSS.com.
