How to Procrastinate

The daily life of students is full of homework, papers, or presentations that have to be finished and studied, and the way most students deal with it is through the practise of PROCRASTINATION. How this is actually done will be explored in this episode.
My podcast will provide you with the opportunity to learn new ways of procrastinating, to laugh at yourselves, as well as for self-reflection. Enjoy!

Campfire Tales

I created this podcast with the idea of it being an interesting and amusing way to spend several minutes. The main part of the podcast is theatrical and is presenting a group of friends gathered around a campfire, narrating urban legends to each other. I hope you enjoy listening to it as we enjoyed recording it!

I want to thank Ivelina Tsenova, Lais Lopes Dezen, Adela Mihaila and Isabella Katschnig for participating and helping me carry through this project.

Thank you for listening,
