Tonight's show focused on the work of Elizabeth Barret Browning with recordings of her Sonnets from the Portuguese read by a variety of contributors.
We also discussed some of the highlights from last week's live broadcast at WordPool where we got to talk with poets, writers and some of the minds behind WordPool. This edition includes a live chat with celebrated poet, and judge of this year's WordPool poetry competition, Polly Atkin.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning Part 1
Elizabeth Barrett Browning Part 2
As usual, the poetry is mixed with a talented collection of jazz and swing performers and lots of inane and pretty unrelated and highly irreverent chatter. Great music and lots and lots of fun.
