I spent the weekend work-shopping a poetry event, and it was a real eye opener. One of the things I was most impressed with was the introduction of a commercial advisor who gave a more business like advice to what is essentially an event run by artists.
I was there to give advice on podcasting, and got some great recordings for a future show. It also highlighted some shortcomings of my podcasting skills - I need to have a bit more preparation of materials, consistency of questioning and more of a vision of where I want to go with the podcast.
About the Podcast and me
- Dominic O'Rourke
- UkPoetry Podcast has been running for over a year now, and has had a selection of great poets on the show in that time, a lot of performance poets, and a few page poets who kindly read their own works. We have prize winners, promoters, publishers and politicians (ok - not politicians - but allow me the alliteration). If you'd like to take part, please email me a recording of your poetry and I'll make sure it gets on air. as for me? Winner of Slamidolpodcast.coms international slam number 26, January 2007.
