Episode Synopsis

This week on Hogging the Mic, we have two very special guests joining us – one of our guests is a familiar face at The Boar today, and our other guest is someone who was as equally familiar in the offices five years ago. Rachel, Tom, and Lucy are first joined by Martin Day, one of the current Editors-in-Chief at The Boar to speak about all things Freshers Week and what to expect from The Boar this year. From why you should join to what events are being held for freshers, this is a great conversation for anyone wanting to get involved with one of the country’s leading student newspapers this year. After that, we’re also treating you to a conversation with one of Martin’s predecessors, Jasmine Parker. A former Arts Editor and Editor-in-Chief at The Boar, Jasmine knows a thing or two about podcasts, having helped to set up The Boar’s very first podcast, Creating Conversation, during lockdown. She’s also well-versed in new beginnings and fresh starts, having taken up the role of Sub-Editor at the fashion and lifestyle magazine Tatler shortly after graduating from her Masters in Magazine Journalism. Jasmine opens up on her experiences and memories in this interview, and passes on the metaphorical baton of her journalistic wisdom. From guiding The Boar through the early days of Covid to now covering film premieres, hotel openings, and Olympic hospitality, Jasmine is a real open book and her conversation is not one to be missed. As always, you can join in the conversation in the comments, or by messaging us on Instagram @HoggingTheMic. You can also keep up to date with the latest news from The Boar over on ⁠⁠⁠our website⁠⁠⁠.
