It took 6 months for us to mention the movie 'Dead Poet's Society' so give us a break!

On the show this week, we have love, former loves, and all that life offers you in-between so settle in for 40 minutes of poetry and giggles.

Leon had travelled out to Scotland for a wedding between two poets who had set each other a task of writing each other a poem during the getting-to-know you stage of their relationship. We share those poems on the show. Beautiful stuff.

Ryan, from his posing position in Merrion Square, with a notepad in hand wrote a poem that he shares on the show that will put a smile on your face for sure.

We mentioned Allen Ginsberg on the show last week, and the lads didn't know too much about him. We fix that with a poem and a short backstory of that 'Beat Generation' of American poets

Menna Siwan treats us with a poem that sends thanks to someone who crawled back from the edge with a piece called 'For You'.

Our Agony Aunt this week is all about who keeps the friends after a break-up. Spoiler: You might need a few new friends
