Beyond The Venue with MG Hodge, Host & Future PhD
Hello! I'm MG, host of Beyond the Venue Podcast and a hospitality professional turned academic. I started this podcast in the Spring of 2021 to elevate stories from my friends in the hospitality and entertainment world whose careers and businesses were impacted by the pandemic. Season 2 features several of my colleagues from the hospitality and event industry, as well as teachers and professors from a variety of disciplines. I interview other podcast hosts, storytellers, bartenders, parents, and everything in between! After wrapping up the recording of Season 2, I returned to the classroom as an adjunct professor in the College of Education and Human Development at Temple University. This would help me create Season 3, for which I used clips from my students' podcast project (with their permission of course!). After completing my first year of my doctoral program this past year, I decided the summer of 2024 was the perfect time to wrap up this podcast with an inside look into life in higher education. Starting Friday, August 30th, 2024, we will be releasing episodes of our 4th and final season. Season 4 includes interviews with my fellow doctoral students, as well as a variety of other folks from the "academy". Qualitative research is all about sharing stories and lived experiences, and that's what I've tried to do over the last 3 years through this podcast. Thanks for listening!

Reflections on Sophomore Year aka 2021 with MG Hodge
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Reflecting on the past year has been a complicated task for many of us, because it’s incredibly difficult to differentiate 2021 from 2020. Even though 2021 brought us the vaccine and put an adult in charge of our country, this past year has continued to be a rollercoaster of joy, anger, happiness and frustration.
Thank you to each and everyone who has been a part of Beyond the Venue Podcast, as a listener, as a guest or even as a producer! (Daniela is THE BEST!)
We look forward to coming back at some point with Season 3, but in the meantime, enjoy ALL of the episodes of Beyond the Venue Podcast from Seasons 1 & 2 on your favorite podcast platform!
