The Esperience

Season 5 Episode 5 - In Our Teen Era (ft. Mike)

Esperia turns 13—and we’re going back to the beginning! In this special DIES episode, we sit down with Mike, OG member of Board 1 to talk about how Esperia started, the challenges along the way, and how it’s grown into what it is today.

Season 5 Episode 4 - Is it a Red Flag?!

We are back on the roll with a new episode of The Esperience, this time we are joined by our lovely Chair of the Board, Anne-Linn. We had to jump in on one of the most common trends of these past few years on social media: Red flags! Between 2016 trends, biking rules, cultural icks, gay walking and basic human decency... well, you understand we switch up a lot! Oh also, if you feel personally attacked... well, maybe there's a reason. (xoxo)

Season 5 Episode 3 - Sleigh or Nay

Our active members sent us their favourite Christmas songs, and we sat down and decided whether they are a Sleigh… or a Nay! Between some timeless bangers and newer trends, our song range from Paul McCartney, Jeff Buckley, Justin Bieber.. and Bart&Ernie! What makes a good xmas song? Making money out of your traumas? The difficulties of getting big egos in a room for a good cause? The ploinky (frog) sounds? Check out the new episode and find out!

Season 5 Episode 2 - Switch Happens (ft. Aurélie)

We are back with a new podcast episode to keep your spirits warm after exam season! Aurelie Joubert, ELC professor, walks us through code switching (or better, translanguaging), and her very interesting research on bilingual policy making at the university. How is translanguaging approached at the RUG, in our everyday life and within Esperia? What does the latest Rosalia’s album teach us? Most importantly, would your grandma be a cart if she had wheels?

Season 5 Episode 1 - The Mediacie's Esperience

Welcome (back) Esperians! The Mediacie, new hosts of the podcast, introduce themselves and take a trip down memory lane, thinking about their first and favourite times with Esperia. As the first episode of the fifth season, they reveal some predictions: where will we go for the annual trip? Will we be able to go ice skating on natural waters? Will we see Jildou at Taylor Swift’s wedding with Harry Styles as her +1? Tune in and hear what we have to say about it…
