Repórter Unicamp

Repórter Unicamp is a university-affairs program with the seriousness of a patient academic interview. Its center of gravity is Unicamp, but its questions are rarely confined to campus. The show follows research, teaching, cultural production, public events, and institutional debates as they move into wider society. It is measured and explanatory. Episodes give professors, researchers, artists, patients, and association voices enough time to describe what is at stake before the conversation turns toward consequences. A segment on Regina Machado’s award-winning album becomes more than a music item, linking artistic partnership, women’s creative work, religious imagery, and support for culture. A study on low-income Black men reaching higher education becomes a careful account of family encouragement, school pathways, role models, and structural limits. Mental health is treated through institutional and clinical dialogue, with psychiatry and psychoanalysis placed beside neuroscience, genetics, cognitive science, and contemporary suffering. Medical cannabis coverage brings patients, associations, researchers, legal access, cultivation, production, and public health into the same frame. The show also follows Unicamp’s internal future, including debate over a proposed undergraduate course in artificial intelligence and data science. That reporting connects programming, mathematical modeling, public transport, health systems, digital government, sports, and academic rules for generative AI. Public health episodes widen the frame again, as in the discussion of obesity in Latin America through socioeconomic conditions, food systems, epigenetic questions, and public policy. The tone is respectful rather than casual. Questions are short, but the answers are allowed to build. The program frequently restates context so technical subjects remain legible without being flattened. It is best for listeners who like institutional reporting with a civic purpose. It does not chase spectacle. Instead, it asks how research findings, cultural work, and university decisions affect access, rights, health, education, and public understanding. The result is a steady record of a university thinking aloud with the society around it.
