Sundays, 3pm
with presenters Dawn Gorman & Peter O’Grady

The Poetry Place is a monthly poetry magazine programme bringing you news, views, readings and interviews from today’s poetry community, both locally and further afield. Presented by Dawn Gorman and Peter O’Grady, it brings inspiration and food for thought for everyone, from those who enjoy listening to the occasional poem, to people writing and publishing their own work.

There's a new episode on the last Sunday of every month, with repeats from the archive on the other Sundays of the month.

Kitchen conversations with poets

A Livestreaming Poetry Reading and Podcast
Every week, we put a new poet into your pocket with the Rattlecast (Mondays at 8pm ET / 5pm PT). Part interview and part reading, it’s a casual way to hangout with Rattle editor Timothy Green and poetry friends from around the world.

Each Rattlecast begins with a Poets Respond Live segment, featuring the poem we published that Sunday about the news. After Timothy Green’s conversation/reading with a poet that has been published in Rattle, we head to the Invited Prompt Lines, where Tim is joined by creative editor Katie Dozier. Then, we hear a selection of curated poems written to last week’s poetry prompt by poets in the Rattle community.

To join the fun and energetic chat live, please go to our YouTube channel, click to “Subscribe” and join us Mondays at 8pm ET / 5pm PT. For those that can’t make it to the live show, an audio version is later made available on all major podcasting apps.

Join poetry prof Tara Stubbs (Oxford) as she talks all things poetry with poets, educators, anthologists and even ‘poetry pharmacists’. In each podcast, Tara asks her guests about their relationships with poetry, their favourite poets, and the ways they use poetry to think about wider issues that relate to the world we live in. The conversations are informal and wide-ranging, but they all try to ‘demystify’ poetry – challenging and removing some of the barriers to poetry that we often find in education, community and society.

Keith Fenton and Acqueel Parvez discuss poetry, performance, and the open mic scene.
