About the Podcast

Wanna hear about the latest research? Curious about what PhD students eat for breakfast? Interested in getting an authentic look into the ivory tower and learning the “hidden curriculum” of academia? Then Grad Gab is for you! Every week host Emily Shelby sits down with a graduate student for an honest chat. Topics include everything from research and graduate school to movies and pets. The goal of Grad Gab is to be a lighthouse of hope and positivity for current graduate students, people considering graduate school, and anyone interested in the misadventures of wonderful people trying their best.
