Episode 5 - Mental health, higher education, and institutional systems

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Access Granted, hosts Zhitong and Phoebe sit down with Yuxin, a third-year anthropology student, to explore the complex intersection between mental health, higher education, and institutional systems. Yuxin shares her journey navigating severe depression, academic interruption, and the challenges of returning to university life. The conversation unpacks how language barriers, cultural context, and institutional structures shape students’ ability to seek help and express themselves. The episode also critically examines the role of universities: Can flexibility in deadlines solve deeper issues in learning environments? What does meaningful support actually look like in large institutions? Through honest reflections, the discussion highlights the importance of human connection, inclusive teaching practices, and small, meaningful interactions that can make a lasting difference. This episode also experiments with the use of AI tools to bridge communication gaps — raising subtle questions about the role of AI in education and personal expression.

Episode 4 - Living Between Tempos — ADHD, Music, and the International Student Journey with Kaito Mizukoshi

In this deeply personal and refreshingly honest episode, hosts Zhitong Li and Phoebe Chen sit down with pianist and UCL Management Science student Kaito Mizukoshi for a conversation that flows between introspection, culture, and the unexpected rhythms of life with ADHD.  Kaito opens up about receiving his ADHD diagnosis in London, years after growing up in Japan where the condition is often overlooked—or even quietly associated with success. He shares how this new understanding reshaped the way he studies, practices music, and takes care of himself, revealing the strategies, struggles, and surprising gifts that come with a restless mind.  From five-hour piano practice sessions to battling distraction during coursework, from navigating UCL as an international student to finding connection across cultural gaps, Kaito reflects on identity, belonging, and the power of self-knowledge.  The trio dive into stigma, romanticisation of mental health, friendship, and the small but meaningful ways we learn to work with—not against—our own nature. Set to the delicate beauty of Debussy performed by Kaito himself, this episode is an intimate look at how one student turns introspection into empowerment and transforms challenge into creativity.

Episode 1. Beth Woolley: My Mental Health Can't Define Me

'Overcoming' can be a difficult and daunting task, especially when faced with personal struggles and academic pressures. In our first episode, Beth, who is autistic, anxiety-ridden, and a trauma survivor, recounts her struggles and her life-long journey of self-discovery. Rather than trying to fit into preconceived molds or forcing oneself to conform to certain expectations, Beth encourages everyone to explore your own ways of managing well-being. Your mental health does not define who you are.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
