Welcome to Warwick! We’re bringing you a bonus episode of the podcast this week – a week earlier than planned – to celebrate the start of the new academic year, as we celebrate all things Freshers! We’ve got an exclusive look at The Boar’s first print of the year, which will be out on Monday, and as always, our hosts have picked out the articles that have caught their eye across the paper. Also on Hogging the Mic this week, we’ll be bringing you our conversation with Rebecca Myers, a Boar alumna and former Editor-in-Chief, who’s gone on to work at two of the UK’s biggest Sunday newspapers – The Sunday Times and The Observer. In the episode – recorded before Rebecca left her role as Acting National News Editor at The Observer – Rachel, Tom, and Lucy speak to Rebecca about all things journalism, from her time launching new initiatives in The Boar’s Books section to heading up investigations at The Observer.Rebecca also opened up about the challenges she has faced as a female sports reporter in a male-dominated section, her switch from sports reporting to news reporting, and her experience gaining work placements while at University without having any contacts in the industry.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.Music: ⁠⁠⁠HitsLab / Pixabay⁠⁠⁠Cover art: Rachel Gore
