It seems as though no matter what your interests are there is something that comes out of the British Broadcasting Corporation that is right for you. The 2006 BBC facility addition, Quay House, exemplifies this sentiment. Whether you are interested in seeing how the world’s largest public broadcasting corporation is innovating to use modern technologies, […]

The last day was our free day and I couldn’t have been more excited. As soon as I saw that you could walk to Arthur’s Seat I knew I was going to climb it before we left. We got a small group together and met in the hotel lobby shortly after breakfast and made our […]
The Media Visits to End All Media Visits
Our last day of media visits was by far my favorite one despite having a think mustache of mucus and a chapped nose. I started my day in a little french bakery directly around the corner from the hotel where I had the world’s best eclair and flirted with the french barista, you could say […]
Edin-Bruh!
I’ve been looking forward to going to Edinburgh for a very long time so I was irritated when I woke up and still felt like the Walking Dead. With the right amount of medication I thought I’d be able to enjoy the day, but not the flight. The flight was terrible on my sinuses and […]
Media City
In the morning we piled into the bus and I mean piled, we had to crawl over suitcases, and made our way to Media City. Dr. Annabelle Waller greeted us and toured us around Salford University. Salford feels like a media conservatory because they have some of the finest equipment I’ve seen at a school. […]
Liverpool Sick Day
I woke up feeling worse than I have in over a year. I’m pretty sure this was the result of a sinus infection, and man, it was brutal. I was absolutely miserable for our Beatles Tour. I wanted, more than anything, to stay in bed that day and not go outside. I could have watched […]
Something Rotten in the State of my Sinuses
I’d start this post with a witty Shakespeare quote/pun but that would require me to do more research than I am currently willing to do to make the joke any good. Instead I will just say that the best part of the Shakespeare tour was seeing the Royal Shakespeare Company. They have several different buildings […]
Windsor Castle
It’s almost embarrassing that I’ve never been to a castle before, being that I am a fantasy nerd. Windsor Castle was everything I could have wanted and we were lucky to visit on a beautiful, clear spring day. Our tour guide was a gentle, theatrical man with a clear passion for English History. Occasionally he […]
Not today, bad vibes.
Gratitude should be included on every packing list. The ugly, nasty side of people is best left at home. Luckily, I am a card carrying member of the good vibes gang. The weather, however, is not influenced by my mindset. Rain decided to come and go throughout the day, leaving only once we got inside […]
Go head, Battenhall
On our first day of media tours we started things off with certified hitters. Battenhall is the agency of dreams, the agency that was promised, spoken about in advertising circles of old but only in hushed, longing whispers… they have plants! There was clearly effort put in to the layout of Battenhall to make it […]
