Lightly delivered, wonderfully deconstructed, the depth and breadth just right for novice or academic. Try it you’ll like it.

Apple Podcasts5LotusBlueTwoUnited Kingdom4 months ago - Poetry lovers’ dream podcast
Love this poddie, Frank is my frequent companion on long, solitary walks in the Scottish countryside and absorbs me utterly. I particularly enjoy the unravelling of poems from the school curriculum (of yesteryear) and find so much that had passed me by and a new appreciation. Very gentle and easy approach that subtly reels you in. Love ‘em! Thanks, Frank!

I’ve just discovered this and it’s sooooooo good. Thoughtful, meaningful poetry analysis. Very accessible. It’s not full of jargon though Frank very helpfully explains things that you might have forgotten from school. Always wryly witty. He carries his erudition very lightly. I see the last episode was in August. You’ve not stopped, have you? I’ve got 5 years’ worth to be getting on with. But please don’t stop!
