The Apprentice Dialogues Podcast is a monthly podcast that was born in late 2024 after Ariel & Michelle’s shared transformative experience of writing a master’s thesis. Their first season - the “pilot season” - tracks their experiences as newlygrads in Applied Linguistics as they navigate two central themes of their personal, professional, and creative lives: public scholarship and creativity. 

Listen to Episode 1 starting May 4, 2025.

“I am convinced of the power of conversation around ideas and creativity. From our shared experience writing our theses, I am certain that dialoguing about ideas brings forth clarity.” - Ariel

“Research and knowledge production is an inherently human pursuit…yet the history of research as an institution encourages a distance I find saddening.” - Michelle
