    We tackle one of the almighty greats of English poetry with predictably sketchy results.

    'Reading King Lear', and odes on 'Melancholy' and 'A Grecian Urn' befuddle us plenty.

Brilliant!

Pull up a chair, pour yourself a pint, and join these three blokes as they discuss and analyze poetry as you’ve never heard it explored before. Whether you currently like/appreciate poetry or not, you will after an hour with these three.

Excellent Podcast

One of the best podcasts I happen to stumble upon. Love the poetry reads, the analysis of each poem, and the witty banter that sometimes comes along with it. Add the magnificent English accent, and I can sit in my car for hours just listening.
