<title>3 - Esteemed unc Joshua Stewart talks student culture</title>
<description>Join me in the coffee house, as we finally put some culture in the Almey Alternative. Joining us today is Joshua Stewart, a member of the Otago University Students' Association executive in 2025, and a PHD student who first joined the University of Otago in 2018. We're talking student culture, and how it's changed over a flat white. We are very important people.

<title>2 - OUSA's Flynn Nisbett talks fees free cuts</title>
<description>Fees free: gone!

Flynn Nisbett is, despite your host's best efforts in the last election, OUSA's 2026 political representative. And Flynn is fuming about the government's cuts to one free year of tertiary education. 
Come and hear us discuss and debate this change on the day it lands — budget day.
Stay for what else we have in store. 

Flynn has been lobbying MPs. What have they been saying?
What is Voluntary Student Membership?
What are the priorities of the Otago University Students' Association this election year?
Who made the famous ""Debt Monster"" outfit?

Join us at the Almey Alternative, and add a marshmallow of budget-day banter to your coffee order.
