The Unlikely Academic Podcast, The Real Graduate School Experience!

Academia can appear glamorous. Professors take on many different roles: subject matter experts, educators, advisors, researchers, community leaders, and more. Having a doctoral degree gives aspiring student professionals plenty of opportunities outside of the university environment. Getting accepted into, and subsequently surviving graduate school can seem overwhelming for anyone, especially for the “unlikely” among us—those who do not fit the common stereotype of “grad school material.” Regardless of whether you fit the academic mold or are sure to break it, the Unlikely Academics podcast has tips and tricks to help you along the way. This is a podcast which discusses the underbelly of the Graduate School Experience, addressing some of the unwritten rules and culture related to applying and thriving in graduate school. The hosts of the Unlikely Academics Podcast each have their own experiences of strife, adaptation, and tribulations to share from their respective quests for academic and career achievement. We hope through our discussions and advice each week; we can help other unlikely academics find their voice, maximize their educational potential, and find the path to success that best suits them as future scholars and/or practitioners by navigating both the spoken and unspoken rules of graduate school.
