, a two-part BBC Radio 4 programme, includes several extracts from an interview with Professor Kate Purcell talking about the wider graduate labour market and student experience, drawing mainly on the survey.  The programme was two 30 minute features by Safraz Manzoor who interviewed graduating students at Leeds University and Leeds Metropolitan University in summer 2009 (the Futuretrack cohort) and then followed them through the first year after their graduation interviewing them periodically about their job search and evaluations of the graduate labour market.  The picture given is somewhat bleaker than the emerging findings from the Stage 3 survey of the cohort suggests, but the programmes are well put together and cover the issues raised in the recessionary graduate labour market in a responsible and interesting way.
