Nord Anglia’s podcast series is just one of the many incredible opportunities that we offer to students to ensure their education inspires them.

The interviews with notable guests include Daniel Gilbert, an Oxford graduate and former Google employee who founded an award-winning digital marketing agency; Deborah Ellis, activist and critically acclaimed author; and Lord David Puttnam, Oscar-winning film producer of Chariots of Fire. These episodes are available now.

Over the course of the series, you will also hear from Andrew Jack, the Global Education Correspondent at the Financial Times; Dr Joseph Polisi, the former President of The Juilliard School; and Billy Tan, a Marvel and DC comic book illustrator. The final episode will feature Nord Anglia students interviewing Ebbe Sand, a former professional footballer whose achievements include scoring the fastest goal by a substitute in a World Cup in just 16 seconds.

Liz Lamb, Principal at Nord Anglia International School Al Khor, said: “Being a big fan of podcasts, I was excited to listen to Nord Anglia’s new podcast series, A Little Bit of Genius. Creative, innovative guests interviewed by impressive student presenters from around our global organisation makes for a ground-breaking combination.
