Climate change and student activist Phoebe Hanson joins us to explain what it’s like to be mis-sold the student experience by universities that act like businesses but won’t treat you like a customer. Plus, how the planned changes to the Official Secrets Act will treat journalists like spies. And the truth behind those supply chain nightmares. “It's hard to feel like part of your university when it is constantly working against you… ” – Phoebe Hanson “My lectures now are like glorified podcasts” – Phoebe Hanson “There’s a big difference between what young people think and what older people THINK they think.” – Phoebe Hanson https://www.patreon.com/bunkercast Presented by Andrew Harrison with Arthur Snell and Ahir Shah.
