Forever Leeds summer special, 2022

What's it like to stand on top of Mount Everest? Find out from a Leeds graduate who is just back from his record breaking 16th summit. Kenton Cool talks about life as a mountain climber and how it all stems from being a Leeds student (3:30).

Also taking time to speak to us is CEO of Aviva Amanda Blanc, who shares her insight as one of only nine female leaders in the FTSE 100 and the Government's Women in Finance Champion (17:24).

Is it a ginnel? A snicket? An alley? We learn about the University’s fascinating dialects survey of the way people speak English - and how we need your contributions (13:26).

And finally, we'll summon up memories of that summer feeling as current students reflect on the past year. With the comment "great memories, great music, great people," we hear a timeless description of the Leeds student experience (23:01).
