**This episode of Study Buddies is a pilot episode. There may be a few mistakes/stutters here and there but we really want to know your opinions on what we are trying to do! Let us know: https://twitter.com/StudyBuddiesPod **

"Study Buddies" was born after its founder reflected upon his own journey through the education system at GCSE and A level. The amount of text books, websites and handouts you were given are sometimes not the best way to learn and often a slight dashing of humor is all whats needed alongside an interesting anecdote to remember important facts for an exam. What "Study Buddies" hopes to do is to release podcasts covering a variety of subjects at both GCSE and A level which are written by students (all of which have already gained at least a C grade or higher in the topic they are writing a script for) for students, so we exclude some of the complex writing which many students find frightening in text books given to them. This pilot episode is to just test the water and see if there is a desire for such a service to be provided. The episode features a anecdote of a gardening company who decide to use the Boston Matrix in order to discover which of their products they need to focus more heavily on. Let us know your feedback and make sure you rate us so we can decide if it is worthwhile venturing forward with our idea to provide fun, educational podcasts to students to help aid them in preparation of exams!
