The Nerve is a podcast produced by the English Department at South East Technological University (SETU), Waterford, Ireland.
Designed as a space for lively conversation and creative exploration, the series brings together staff and students to discuss an exciting mix of topics — from English literature and critical theory to contemporary culture, writing, and the arts.
Hosted by Dr. Jenny O’Connor, each episode offers listeners thoughtful discussions, diverse perspectives, and a deeper look into how literature and culture shape the way we think and live. Whether you’re a student, an academic, or simply someone with a love of books and ideas, The Nerve invites you to tune in and engage with the conversations that keep the study of English vibrant and relevant today.
