Something Borrowed Podcast With Harry Baker

Hello Friends - we're back with another banger! The people's champ Georgie Jones has come back by popular demand (from myself and someone who wrote it in chalk on the seafront) and it was WORTH IT. Combining stunning poems with great chat and an appropriate level for respect for the craft of getting on and off a stool, we talk about having babies (me) and not having babies (Georgie), new books (both!), top google searches, respective Roman empires and a Hugh Grant fact that I refuse to check in case it isn't true. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

We're back with another banger - Rachel Long was the season finale to our first series of the podcast back when everything was online, so it was a joy to have her in person as a new Margate Local! 
Recorded in October last year and released just in time for Rachel's new book, Sparrow on a Rooftop, coming out in June, it was amazing to hear Rachel's insight as an editor, her stunning work as a writer, and her warmth and generosity in everything in-between. Featuring poems about swimming, dummies, love, sandwiches, the goodness of people, and more. 
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did x

Hello friends - we are back with what can only be described as a classic. Returning to the glorious ARK in Margate with the glorious Caitlin O'Ryan. Caitlin is a brilliant poet and actor and was also the host for my favourite podcast guest appearance when I went on her podcast a few years ago so I was very excited to try and return the favour. We talk about poetry origins stories, slams, going viral, how to value your work vs getting affirmation from others, becoming the face/voice of a movement, and a frankly excellent story about stamps. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
You can pick up Caitlin's book here and follow her here

Hello Friends,
Our final international instalment comes all the way from mighty Scotland! Streamed live at Greenbelt Festival, I am joined by the fantastic Len Pennie to talk about her new collection Poems Annaw (now a Sunday Times bestseller!), how she is the Wario to Robert Burns' Mario, her love of Scots, and her disdain for a themed collection among other things. It is the most I have ever felt roasted by a guest and I loved every second of it, I hope you do too.

We're back, baby! Another international special courtesy of Greenbelt festival, we have the wonder that is Luka Lesson all the way from Australia! 
It's been over a decade since me and Luka last crossed paths and it was worth the wait in every sense. We talk about poetry slam origins to writing and performing for longer form, the lifespan of a poem, the skillset a performance poet picks up, the Joy of missing out, and so so much more. 
We have one more international guest to come, then it's back to Margate - thanks for rocking with us!
