About us
Within the Pod&Radio Committee, we produce live radio shows as well as podcasts revolving around foreign affairs. During this coming year we will broadcast live shows every other week where we mainly focus on the most recent international news and developments, however we will also have theme weeks focusing on specific subjects. For the podcasts, you are free to produce episodes about most anything regarding international affairs and we love to see diverse subjects. You can also choose either to make short shows about very different things or create longer series on the same subjects, we encourage either. This can be achieved by doing your own research on a topic or interviewing an expert. As a committee member, you are free to be as involved as you like in our productions; you can do everything or maybe you are a lover of editing and only wish to help others with polishing their recordings, or maybe you love the live shows and only wish to be a part of them. It is up to you and you are welcome with all input.

Heads of Pod & Radio
Sabina Rameke
Hi! My name is Sabina and I’m one of the heads of the Pod&Radio committee. I’m a Scanian local, so I never really had to think about where I’d study! I’m working toward a degree in Human Geography, and my favorite topics are urban studies, economic development, and international affairs.
I joined the Pod&Radio committee in November 2023 because I wanted to challenge myself to do something new. I had much more experience writing than speaking into a microphone, but I wanted to try a different way to tell stories, and I’ve found that I enjoy it immensely. If you have an idea for a podcast series, one-off episode, or someone you’d love to interview, reach out to us at radio@upflund.se or show up to one of our meetings! We meet on Wednesdays at 19:00 (no academic quarter) and would love to help you bring your idea to life.
Ludvig Eriksson
Politics has been an interest of mine ever since I was old enough to stay up on election night. Starting in 2014 I started an eight-year-long involvement in youth politics doing everything from buying fika and making insta stories to heading the local district and representing my party on a European level, because the world is bigger than just Sweden, something I learned more about as a teenager while on exchange programs in Canada and Colombia.
So getting involved in UPF came quite naturally after a couple of years studying in Lund. And it got even better: heading the Pod & Radio committee means I’m not just learning and talking about politics and the world but also making podcasts out of it! And though I do enjoy studying Asian studies and Chinese while aiming for a polsci degree, making radio brings me closer to the action and becomes an opportunity to have fun with it and take risks in a way that uni doesn’t really provide a space for.
Come join us over at Pod & Radio and make something good!
