Welcome to the inaugural episode of The Fireside Thesis, a cozy podcast about emerging work in the postgraduate community. Join me as I chat with my dear friend Fiona Young about her ongoing doctoral research on the subject of natural disaster narratives.  Fiona is a PhD researcher in the Department of International Politics at Aberystwyth University, who is completing her second year of studies. Lean into the nervous laughter as we talk research over two generous glasses of white wine. Stay curious, stay cozy.
