Kola, a fourth-year international student at UNB studying Electrical and Computer Engineering, is not only a dedicated student but also the host of "UNB in 30," a podcast produced by the Research Commons.
He discovered his passion for podcasting through his love for creating beats and audio engineering. Initially, Kola had little idea of what he aimed to achieve, but through trial and error, he developed a profound appreciation for the art of storytelling. His journey of tree planting in Western Canada served as a catalyst for his interest in podcasting as a means of storytelling.
Although Kola is currently occupied with a work term with NB Power, his schedule does not allow for any imminent projects of his own. However, he remains eager to assist others in creating their own podcasts, demonstrating his willingness to support fellow podcast enthusiasts.
