MetCast Podcast: On October’s episode – Oscar winner Danny Boyle and SODA students, children in care and the justice system, and staying healthy as we grow old

Listen to the latest episode of MetCast

In this month’s episode, we speak to Oscar award-winning film director Danny Boyle and students from our School of Digital Arts who are working together on a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration.  

We also find out about a new study that has revealed how children who have been in care are disproportionately likely to have been involved in the youth justice system.  

And finally, we explore healthy ageing and speak to academics from our Institute of Sport who are answering the question - how can we live healthier and better as we grow old?
