This episode peels back the curtain on the current state of university education, especially at the University of Ghana, addressing the critical question: Are we, as graduates, equipped for success after our academic endeavors? We scrutinize the stark transition from lecture halls to boardrooms and the undeniable benefits of real-world experience through internships. Delving further, we dissect the alarming shortage of soft skills among students and spotlight affirmative programs like One Student One Laptop, designed to foster research prowess and digital literacy.
Remember the student who never dreamed of leading but somehow always found themselves at the helm? That's the protagonist of our second segment – a student whose reluctant journey to university presidency unfolded with the drama of a political thriller. This tale of accidental leadership is a testament to the power of influence and social capital in the combustible arena of student politics. It's a narrative charged with internal conflicts, the clashing tides of external pressures, and the momentous decision to embrace a role that could shape not just a campus, but a personal legacy.
In our concluding piece, we brave the complex topic of bullying and the crucible it forms in shaping emotional intelligence and leadership. Through the lens of personal anecdotes and the experiences of current University of Ghana SRC President, Frank Tsikata, we examine the tightrope walk of leadership amidst adversity. This episode is not just a conversation; it's a journey through the emotional landscape of youth leadership, unpacking the resilience required to stand steadfast in one's purpose against the intoxicating pull of power. Join us for a powerful exploration of what it means to lead, learn, and leave a mark that echoes beyond university walls.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
