We've been on an incredible journey, with Kit Marie speaking to over 100 people from over 22 countries. The weekend of the 100th release coincided with the weekend after the Geographical Association Annual Conference 2024, so Kit Marie took the opportunity to grab as many previous podcast guests, in person, for a quick chat and a 'We are all Geographers' baton chain!

Kit Marie and Ayesha Tandon brew up a hot drink and chat about the social factors that impact migration, culture and identity through food, early careers and diverse voices in science, climate journalism, being sporty in a sporty family, and more! Science journalist at Carbon Brief. Ayesha is the 3rd generation of woman to study physics in her family. But the first person in 3 generations not to get a PhD! Stepping away from research (with full support from my family) was a big decision for Ayesha, but definitely the right one. Her work in climate science communication is a much better fit!

Kit Marie and David Preece sit down with a cuppa and chat about the what is ‘home’, Sahara desert, data visualisations, amongst other things! In the world before YouTube and the internet, the opportunities to be inspired were different and rare. In 1995, Dr James Jackson gave the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures, called "Earth: An Explorer's Guide" on a relatively new idea called Plate Tectonics, and a young boy in Birmingham, called David Preece, had his view of the world changed. He didn't know he wanted to do Geography or study the world, but it started a journey that would end up nearly three decades later with this podcast. With the incredible support and guidance of Geography teachers, David read Geography at university and postgrad, before training to be a Geography teacher in South East London. He taught in schools for 13 years, as a teacher and Head of Department. He's been involved in UCAS and lots of school adventures; before moving to Initial Teacher Education at Teach First in 2021.

In this special episode, Kit Marie takes part in a day-long event for primary school pupils learning about Malawi. The conference is part of the work by the Norfolk-Dedza Schools Links (previously Norwich-Dedza Partnership).

A mutually beneficial collaboration leading to a greater appreciation of the differences and similarities in ways of life in the two areas.

This is the Coffee & Geography Podcast's 50th episode! Kit celebrates by reflecting on some of the conversations they have had over the past year or so, discussing them with an audience. What can we learn from such 'everyday conversations'? Starting as a pandemic ‘comfort project’ but growing into something so much more, Coffee and Geography was a podcast where I simply chatted to people. These chats led to exploring connections and intersections through a geographical lens, but also helped to broaden my horizons, check my own privilege, and bring back some faith in humanity. Bring a brew and come and find out what I’ve learnt, which can be useful anecdotes and aids in the classroom, from these ‘everyday’ conversations. Download the transcript for the audio clips here: https://bit.ly/3LLymlS Clip 9: Eli - Experiencing local changes in the environment Clip 8: Adil - Human connection to nature Clip 7: Ro - Visibility, representation and challenging stereotypes Clip 6: Louis - What is 'third culture'? Clip 5: Daryl - Cultural code-switching Clip 4: Keston - Unique perspectives and expertise enabling links Clip 3: Alistair - We’re not just “us’uns” and “them’uns” Clip 2: White Raven Woman Candice - Reconnecting with the land Clip 1: Akhera & Chantal - Listening and connecting to marginalized voices in the curriculum Presented at the Geographical Association Hybrid Conference 2022 at the University of Surrey (12th April 2pm).

Season 1 of the Coffee & Geography Podcast has come to a close. It's been my first full foray into podcating as a host and producer and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. Sure, the production side of things hass been taxing at times, but I've loved developing new skills. But without a shadow of a doubt it has been all the guests that have given me the most pleasure. Rather than giving my highlights and favourite moments, I thought I'd put together a piece of poetry, where I have threaded together all of the 'We are all Geographers' keywords chosen by each guest. Head over to the main Coffee & Geography Podcast page to catch up on all the conversations if you have missed or indeed listen back to your favourites. Please consider liking, rating and subscribing to the podcast via your preferred platform or app (it really does help!). And last of all... enjoy the poem!
