Worcester students' green podcast scoops national award

A GREEN podcast created by Worcester University students has scooped a national award.

‘Sustain 2 Remain’, about living a sustainable life in the city, saw them come runners up in the student leadership category of the National Green Impact Awards.

The judges were especially impressed by their willingness to challenge perspectives, always supporting arguments with evidence, and well-researched statistics.

James Martin, third-year Geography student, who was involved in the podcast, said: “My passion for geography and trying to make Worcester a more sustainable area is really what led to working on this project.




“It feels really rewarding and quite surreal. It’s an honour to be runner-up in the national awards, and I think it goes to prove the real impact that student-led projects can have.”

He added: “The university was really supportive. From giving us the equipment and space, to helping with editing and promoting the podcast.”


The podcast features episodes focussing on areas including reducing food waste, being greener when it comes to fashion, and travelling sustainably around Worcester.
