A huge thank you must go to our guests who have already joined us on the podcast – @reecegoodall496, @NoahKeate, @jasminellparker, @martinday_li, and @rebeccacmyers! It was a pleasure to have you all on the podcast! 🐗
We're five episodes in, but the journey really has just begun – we've got many more interviews lined up to bring you, and hopefully that's just the start! If you're interested in listening to the podcast, you can check it out at linktr.ee/hoggingthemic⭐️
Setting up a podcast was not something that was on my 2025 bingo card... however, it's happened! It's been a pleasure to launch Hogging the Mic, alongside Rachel, Lucy, and Beth – spotlighting some of @WarwickBoar's amazing writers, but also interviewing some very cool alum! 🎙️
New year, new term, new print! A pleasure as always to work alongside @NikolaiMorton and the team on putting the section together – some really fantastic articles in this print, so definitely check them out! 🐗
Welcome (back?) to Warwick! Our Volume 48, Issue I print articles are now available to read online! (🧵1/12)
So excited and proud to see mine and @NikolaiMorton's first print edition as News Editors of @BoarNews finally come to fruition – from pitches to page, and (now) to online! Check out all the articles in this edition's News section below 👇
A new dawn at The Boar! ⛅️ Our Volume 47, Issue VI print articles are now available to read online! 🐗 (🧵 1/10)
The University of Warwick will not hold their #Eurovision screening again this year. The University says the decision has been made to focus on new events. However, concerns were raised last year that the event could be disrupted by pro-Palestine protestors. The full story 👇
The University of Warwick’s annual screening of the Eurovision final will not be held for the second year in a row, The Boar can reveal. Read here: theboar.org/2025/04/warwic… Image: Martin Day / The Boar
Some personal news – albeit a few weeks late! I am excited to announce that I am the new co-News Editor of @BoarNews, alongside the wonderful @NikolaiMorton! 🐗 I'm really excited for the year ahead, as we strive to put the voices of Warwick students first in our reporting! 🗞️
A man has been taken into custody after another man was fatally stabbed and one more seriously injured on a Coventry road earlier today (Saturday 15 March). Read here: theboar.org/2025/03/man-ar… Image: Martin Day / The Boar
A new national theatre for Wales – hurrah. Our country's story is there to be shared and celebrated, not to be consigned to the cutting room floor. We are not just a cultural rump of our neighbour. @DelythJewellAM is so right – @michaelsheen is truly a national treasure 🏴
Wales is so lucky to have @michaelsheen 🏴 #Gobaith
As we enter a new year, an increasingly perennial issue has entered the conversation again in the world of academia. University strikes are on the table again, after unions voted to ballot members on industrial action over rejected pay offers. More over at @BoarNews.
Picket lines and placards may return to universities this Easter after the University and College Union (UCU) voted to ballot its members over industrial action. Read here: theboar.org/2024/12/univer… Image: Flickr / Magnus Hagdorn
The University of Warwick has terminated discussions with protest group Warwick Stands With Palestine (WSWP) after it accused the group of ‘targeting’ and ‘harassing’ staff, The Boar understands. Read here: theboar.org/2024/12/breaki… Image: Martin Day / The Boar
An end to National Theatre Wales is another example of the lack of foresight by authorities to the importance of arts and culture 🎭 Not only does this hurt the industry, it threatens Wales’ “national” position. Again, we are forced to turn to England. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
A modernisation of the University’s crest could replace Warwick’s iconic ‘W’ logo, after receiving widespread support in a public consultation into the University’s brand identity. Read here: theboar.org/2024/12/modern… Image: University of Warwick
@martinday_li A very well-deserved recognition for all your hard work day in, day out! 👏🏻 It was a pleasure to work alongside you on this very important article!
Huge congratulations also to the whole team for taking the award for Best Publication! I'm so proud to be part of the @WarwickBoar team ❤️ Congratulations also go to @lukeschapman, Rachel Gore and Anna Bickerton for your very well-deserved wins! Here's to an amazing 2025! ✨
So honoured and pleased to have won the Highly Commended award for Best Article at the @SPAJournalism Regional Awards 2025, for my article alongside the wonderful @martinday_li 🌟 From one tip-off (and hours of research and writing!) to an award-winning story! 🐗
Best Article: Winner: Rachel Gore @WarwickBoar theboar.org/2024/06/more-n… Highly Commended: @martinday_li & @_TomRyan4 @WarwickBoar theboar.org/2024/08/breaki…
Societies and sports clubs are an integral part of the university experience, yet 'hidden costs’ of socialising on campus have left students shunning events over budgeting fears, @_TomRyan4 writes. Read here: theboar.org/2024/12/someth… Image: Martin Day / The Boar (🧵5/9)
McLAREN CLINCH THEIR FIRST CONSTRUCTORS' CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE 21ST CENTURY! 🏆 What an achievement, what a season! 🧡 #F1 #AbuDhabiGP
With the festive season well underway, @NikolaiMorton is proving that on-the-ground student journalism is not dead, securing an exclusive interview with Radio 2's @richie_anderson at last week's light-switch on at @uniofwarwick 🎅🎄 A fantastic read! Go and check it out!
Christmas officially arrived in Warwick on Wednesday, with an evening hosted by BBC Radio 2 presenter @richie_anderson featuring performances from several University music ensembles. Read here: theboar.org/2024/12/let-th… Image: Nikolai Morton / The Boar & Satnam Rana-Grindley
Well. That’s that then. It was thought that this election would be tight. Yet, it hasn’t been as tight as thought. 4 electoral college votes away from victory. Trump, the convicted felon, has – somehow – done it. The next four years will be… interesting to say the least 😶🌫️
NEW: Trump wins Pennsylvania. He’s 4 electoral college votes away. He will win the presidency.
