Multi Story Edinburgh
Multi Story Edinburgh is a student-produced podcast that brings you stories, experiences and wisdom of Edinburgh alumni.
The podcast returns with a new season on 6 October 2025!
In the upcoming Season 7, titled ‘Multi Story Mentors’, our student host Nilufer Aumeerally catches up with five Edinburgh alumni to talk about their university days, the paths they've taken since, and any advice they want to pass on. From the BBC to UNICEF, teaching to non-profit work, business to writing - they've done it all and have plenty of wisdom to share.

Previous Seasons:
Season 6 features five recent graduates from the Class of 2024. Matt O'Malley, our student host, chats to them about the ins and outs of post-graduation life. Each episode features a different path and a different story.
In Season 5 titled 'All Roads Lead to Edinburgh', we feature guests from the Class of 2023. Our student host, Andrew McGillivray, takes them five years into an ideal future and asks where they would like to be, and how they would return to Edinburgh if presented the chance to give a speech to the new student cohort.
For season 4, we spoke to our 2022 graduates and asked them: Are we back to normal yet?
In season 3, we expanded our scope and decided to chat to a mix of graduates about returning to a place. Is going back a negative, an acceptance of defeat? Or does time and experience change our perspective and our priorities?
Season 2 is a little bit of the same but quite a lot different. As the world emerges from pandemic paralysis, are our 2021 graduates feeling inspired or inhibited, glad or gloomy, chaotic or calm?
In season 1, we talked to our 2020 graduates about how things were going, or not going, for them.

Tim 00:00
Unless you want to be - I don't know - an architect, where you work nine to five and get paid quite well and never do shift work, there'll be some architect watching this going, hang on a second [laugh], I work very hard on Sundays because of this project.
Nilufer 00:17
Tim Johns at the Jeremy Vine Show, was it? [laugh]
Robin 00:22
[laugh] 18th birthday parties were just chaotic, whereas 21st birthday parties, which we had during third and fourth year, you could see that we've grown up, people were like, no let's go to a restaurant, let's wear some nice clothes, let's treat it like an event.
Nilufer 00:41
Greyfriars Bobby or Scott Monument?
Safoora 00:43
Oh, Greyfriars Bobby, I miss that doggy!
Nilufer 00:46
To carry on the quiz - best restaurant or café in Edinburgh?
Juan 00:49
We just ended up in Teviot all the time having halloumi burgers. It's my favorite building in the world, I think.
Nilufer 00:54
It's so good.
Nilufer 00:59
Hello and welcome to Season 7 of Multi story Edinburgh. I'm Nilufer Aumeerally, your new host. Join me this season as I share jokes, ask advice and learn lots from inspiring alumni guests. Reflecting on their time at Edinburgh, and their career since, our Multi Story Mentors have plenty to share.
Maria 01:20
Success is being excited to go to work and excited to come home.
Juan 01:25
Hey, it's okay. A lot of people have these doubts.
Robin 01:28
If you get other people's perspectives, it takes that voice out of your head and it allows you to look for different options.
Safoora 01:34
Say yes to things and know when to say no. That's also a very valuable skill, but, I say, don't feel free to say yes.
Maria 01:42
And hopefully that inspires people that feel bad if they want to change or feel like they want to do different lots of things versus just one.
Tim 01:50
No one should ever think, oh, I don't want to be a clown, because that'd be a waste of my degree experience. If you want to be a clown, go for it!
Nilufer 01:58
Um, do you want to do like a little bye?
Safoora 02:01
Goodbye, everyone. Thank you for listening.
Nilufer 02:04
Perfect.
