As we vacate Ryan's apartment, we christen our first podcast at Dublin Central Library with Dublin spoken word artist Emmet O'Brien. We go all around the houses with this podcast, getting into the weeds of childhood, the battles of being a creative from a working class area how it feels to perform in front of a pond full of fairies. We share work from Brummy Bradley Taylor, a belter from Saul Williams and both Ryan and Leon chip in with their own bits and pieces. Emmet will be playing a...

We always knew deep down that Pamela Anderson was a poet, sure why did you think we had her on our walls? OK worth a try, and we're as surprised as you are that we are kicking the show off this week with not one but TWO poems from Pamela, which if we didn't know, could easily be the work of Albert Camus. I know, but listen to the podcast and see for yourself. We have a beautiful story of Michelle White who, 40 years after her mother's death, has started to share her late mom's work to continu...

Spring is returning after a brutal winter and so are the poems!

We have the full show coming back on Monday 10th February, but enjoy our little teaser episode with a few poems from the lads to ease us back in.

The title is as wide ranging as show this week guys but stick with us!Over 1 million people were on the streets of Dublin last weekend to support the runners taking on the city's marathon, and we think only 800,000 of them were there to perv over Colin Farrell!

For all the men over 30 who listen to the show, we apologise for the intro music.It's Halloween though, so we had to scare you a little bit and what better way to start the show than with the scariest music ever recorded, the entrance music that wrestler Kane.Poetry still to this day is hard to come by in popular culture, but The Simpsons in 1991 did something incredible. The creators took Edgar Allen Poe's 'The Raven' and trusted it to be the centrepiece of their Treehouse Of Horror episode....
