Purpose of Unmuted

The purpose of this podcast is to bring awareness to this new challenge that has been affecting many individuals. We want to raise awareness on zoom burnout by sharing the experiences of UCD students and staff as well as providing useful tips and resources to combat this challenge. 

Why did we start this podcast? 

  • We realized not much was being said or done about this issue on campus. Even though it is relatively new, most folks are being impacted by this, therefore, we felt the urge to acknowledge it and ensure we created a safe and inclusive space where people are welcome to talk about it. 

What do we want students to know about this? 

  • Mainly, we want students to know this is a safe space where they can share their experiences with zoom burnout. We recognize that everyone is experiencing zoom burnout differently. As a result, we want students to share their experiences as well as their coping strategies. This way, others who listen to the podcast are able to relate and implement some of those tips and strategies to their daily routine
