A podcast that exists to make impactful academic research more accessible, and understandable for you. We find PhD theses that were published in Aotearoa New Zealand in the last five years, do the heavy-duty reading, meet with the authors, have a sit-down interview, and condense their work into a more easily consumable format- short, succinct podcast episodes. For any questions, qualms or queries, reach out to the PhD: Unpacked team through phdunpacked@gmail.com, or @phdunpacked on Instagram. -- This podcast is brought to you by Coalesce - a storytelling network from Aotearoa.  If you'd like to learn more about Coalesce, feel free to do so through @coalescecontactnz@gmail.com or @coalescenz on Instagram.
