about the podcast
What's it all about?
Stupid Genius jumps into all things PhD life. Hosts Emily Wharton and Mollie Bryde-Evens discuss the highs and lows of doctoral study. They share their experiences of being PhD students and the lessons they have learned along the way to help make your PhD journey that bit easier.
Our history
Emily and Mollie met as PhD students in Liverpool, in early 2021. They began Stupid Genius in January 2023 and they haven't looked back since!
What to expect
Stupid Genius releases a brand new episode every Wednesday. Emily and Mollie discuss the PhD journey, share PhD advice, and cover topics such as how to dress as a PhD student, being proud of your PhD successes, managing conflict with your supervisors, taking a break, and much more. Expect lots of laughs, an abundance of stupidity, and occasionally, a moment of genius.
