Episode 23 now available

This weeks episode of the podcast has poetry from the Hydropods, Mort and John Citizen.

John also gives us an interview, which is a rare thing for Mr Citizen, we talk about performance poetry and what it means to him to have a poem on the National Curriculum, so any English Teachers out there pay close attention! Of note for English teachers too, in an upcoming show I interview George Ttoouli, of the Poetry Society who gives us his views on the National Curriculum and poetry for young people, and how the Foyles Young Poet competition helps the process. The competition is now open, for more details see the Poetry Society web page.

I kind of hoped that this episode, and the interview with George would somehow be used as a teaching tool, maybe someone could use the interview or the poem for educational purposes.

I know my podcast carries an 'Explicit' tag, but that's really a catch-all for any swearing that occurs, I hope it wouldn't put people off.
