Adventures in Academia

A podcast for those who took the scenic route to university.

Hosted by Kristie Bradfield—a psychological researcher, writer, and mature-aged student who returned to study in her 40s—Adventures in Academia is a podcast that explores what it means to pursue higher education later in life.


Whether you're thinking about enrolling, already knee-deep in lectures, or wondering if it's all worth it, this podcast is for you. Kristie shares honest reflections, practical tips, and the real-life ups and downs of navigating university as a non-traditional student.


Come for the conversations. Stay for the sense of connection.
