Letter from the Directors of In Relation To
Over the past two years, In Relation To has had a truly incredible journey for our team. Without the support of the International Relations Review and the Board of Directors, none of this would have been possible. The podcast team consists of a group of passionate and talented individuals who are determined to bring new perspectives to the table. To our hosts Maria and Margherita, sound engineer Rishven, associate producer Andrew, and associate editor Isabella, we are immensely grateful for all your contributions to the podcast. We would also like to thank our audience for tuning in to learn more about global affairs and news developments in an ever-changing world.
This semester, as the podcast celebrated its first anniversary, we had several noteworthy achievements. We joined seven new podcasting platforms spanning a variety of regions in order to expand our global reach. We released a total of seven new episodes, which was the highest-ever number of episodes recorded in a semester. Moreover, in a groundbreaking first for In Relation To , we recorded three fantastic faculty interviews with Professors Wippl, Ambassador Storella, and Ambassador Garčević. The wisdom they brought to the studio was unparalleled and simply elevated the quality of our content. We also expanded our marketing and online presence, grew our listening base, and were featured alongside the IRR’s articles on its website, newsletter, and here in the journal. Lastly, we were able to engage in independently researched topics through our host-led episodes and student interviews that truly highlighted the intellect of our Boston University student body. All of this contributed to In Relation To ’s most eventful semester to date.

Undoubtedly, this is just the beginning. In the future, we aspire to continue making an impact and becoming a premier international relations podcast destination. We will continue to cover a wider range of topics and feature new guests from researchers, ambassadors, and professors to students and alumni. We hope you continue to engage with our podcast and support future episodes!
