EPISODE 13: "YEARNING, LEARNING, EARNING".  SHOW SUMMARY what's it like to study media-making at a UK university how does this compare to how we learned to make media in the pre-WWW era? what does the billionth iPhone mean for DIY media-makers? how did Ben Royston reach almost 4 million people with just two tweets? and more... It's Summer here in the UK, which means school's off. It also means that our new academic year starts this September for thousands of new media students across the country. Their media degrees (they hope) will prepare them for a career in this age of hypermedia. So we thought it made sense to sit down with someone who's just BEEN through all of that. In this podcast we meet a recent media graduate and talk about how his degree has prepared him for a career in media-making. What did he learn and how did he feel it prepared him for what awaited him in the real world?   SHOW HOSTS Hosted by Kyle Hannan, founder of Ecomedia Collective Co-hosted by
