www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... I just did an interview and feature on BBC Radio Berks. Scrub to 19.30 to hear.

Tony Harrison RIP I taught Long Distance, his beautiful & honest poem about bereavement to my students for decades. Eventually, it provided consolation to me as well.

I set up S.P this time last year and it's heartening to think that my voice has been heard by so many, in so many places. Thank you.

New episode! ⛵ Bridport Harbour by William Barnes. open.spotify.com/episode/1oGI...

Next episode will be on location here in West Bay, Dorset. Picture from my run this morning.

I've had loads of positive feedback on the episode for Pete. It's moved me immensely. Thank you. X

Four, for Pete. @plsoc.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/6pbY...

I am working on a bumper episode in memory of my English teacher, and friend, Pete. His passing has been a shock and I'm still coming to terms with it. Thank you for your patience.

'Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?' New episode! open.spotify.com/episode/4N8C...

I needed a new spooky podcast and this definitely does it for me. 👻 Bravo @emmabutler.bsky.social pca.st/podcast/c50c...

open.spotify.com/episode/4hME... New Episode!

Lost lanes of Queen Anne's lace. New/old episode uploaded this week!

99 call. I've never had an episode break the ton, can you help me make it a reality?

Start your Easter weekend with a good dose of scary.

I sincerely doubt any fans of the podcast live nearby enough, but in case you do: 🎶

Thank you, @plsoc.bsky.social

@plsoc.bsky.social New episode open.spotify.com/episode/4pnm...

Like every other Tom, Dick and Harry I have decided to join Substack. Here's a little piece I wrote about my experience of teaching and being a creative person. Incidentally, I got a new job yesterday! 🍻 open.substack.com/pub/thesketc...

I am on BBC Radio Kent in a few minutes!

New episode for this spring day 🌱 How to Leave the World That Worships Should by Ros Barber (featuring the great poet/author herself). "Breathe." @plsoc.bsky.social #poetry open.spotify.com/episode/3RkX...

I doubt anyone will see this but: having a very bad week. It would make my day if you'd say something nice about the pod below.

It always makes my day when a new WintW comes out. This one is great!

I'm so happy this is my new top episode. Blake has been a breakthrough of sorts. Not heard it? Go for a stroll in the sunshine and plug in: open.spotify.com/episode/0h7t...

"A thrush sings, Laurel-surrounded In the deep bare garden, Its fresh-peeled voice Astonishing the brickwork." 🌻

In my happy place.

Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus to all the good people of Wales. Listen to my Dylan Thomas episode with the superb @owenstaton.bsky.social and a nice pint of Brains. open.spotify.com/episode/4GpJ...

Already the Blake episode has got a very healthy level of downloads! Could it be the most popular episode yet? If you liked it: leave me a review and help me get discovered.

...Now that I have your attention: New Episode of Sketch Poetry Podcast. William Blake's London. Listen wherever you get your podcasts: or follow this link for Spotify open.spotify.com/episode/0h7t... Many thanks to @johnnyriordan.bsky.social and the WBS!

Sneak Preview (No idea why my right hand is inexplicably Italian for the first two lines). #Poetry #Blake #Podcast

En route to the Big Smoke. #London #poetry #podcast

Another great episode from @weirdinthewade.bsky.social York is one of my favourite places and the Fleece is a great little spot for spooky pints. Listen all the way through to also hear @howhauntedpod.bsky.social

As one who struggles with Intrusive Thoughts, this resonated. Thank you, @owenstaton.bsky.social If you haven't checked out his podcast, you should!

Not podcast related, but my band are getting back together. 🎵 Follow us on Instagram here: www.instagram.com/m_s_tband?ig... #music #singer #house #funk

Roses are red, Violets are blue, Most poems rhyme, This one doesn't.

Rough script for next week. I don't usually write them for episodes but I felt like the opening needed it. Any other podcasters write their scripts out long form or am I a square? #podcast #poetry #london

Do I have London listeners? Or listeners that can travel there on the 18th Feb? I am recording my episode with the William Blake Society and I would love your help. I want to record "London" and have each stanza/line read by a different Londoner. #london #poetry @williamblake.bsky.social

Happy Friday!

Join me at 8pm, bring a tipple of your choice. 🍻 us05web.zoom.us/j/8102319326... to start or join a scheduled Zoom meeting.

www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... My radio spot 📻

I listening to this last night and my dreams after were full of high winding paths, rich peaty earth and wind battered cottages. Stay safe in the storm everyone and if you can, listen to @owenstaton.bsky.social

Big up the PLS!

Ey up, I've just done an interview for BBC York and it will be getting played on Saturday night, along with my most recent episode! Also: **Save the date: 4th February (my birthday) I will host a Zoom call to raise a glass and talk all things poetry. Anyone welcome, just DM/email for the link 📅**

Another top episode! If you like weird/uncanny with a dollop of social history then listen to Weird in the Wade. You won't regret it.

Londoners, I need your help. In February I will be heading to Blake's birthplace to record this masterpiece. Would anyone like to join me/be on the podcast? Come and wander the chartered streets with me, and maybe have a cheeky ale afterwards. #podcast #poetry #london #Blake

Rewatched this alone the other night and it still gets me. This series is superb, thank you @mikemuncer.bsky.social
