Re:search Re:imagined podcast seeks to explore some of life’s big questions

The Re:search Re:imagined podcast is an insightful and informative podcast series that showcases the quality, breadth and inclusivity of research taking place across the university.

The series will focus on interesting and topical issues affecting everyday people in society such as climate change, equal rights, sleep, religion and more.

Each episode will be around 20-30 minutes in length and will be presented by NTU Video Journalist, Helen Darby-Dowman.

NTU will launch its new podcast on International Podcast Day – Friday 30 September at 10am. The university plans to release one new podcast episode per month, with two episodes going live on launch day.

The first episode of the Re:search Re:imagined podcast seeks to answer the question ‘can you drive out evil’? Resident NTU expert in the fields of Law and Religion, Dr Reverend Helen Hall will explore the subject of exorcisms and give insight into religious freedom, consent and the law.

Episode two of the podcast will investigate sleep disorders and the legal ramifications of sleep-related crimes. NTU experts, Professor John Groeger and Lecturer John Rumbold will discuss how our body functions during the sleep cycle, how different sleep disorders work, and how the law applies to sleepwalking crimes.

John Groeger, Professor of Psychology at Nottingham Trent University said: “It has been great to have the opportunity to talk about work that fascinates you with another expert with a different perspective. It’s provided the chance to have an extended talk with someone who approaches the same issues from a different discipline.”

All of the Re:search Re:imagined podcast episodes will be available to listen to on the NTU website, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts and also YouTube which will feature subtitles for accessibility purposes. Listen to the podcast.
