It's time to dive into Rob's story as a Poet, Slam Champion and founder of Punk In Drublic. Listen to his two wonderful and inspiring poems 'The Bucket' and 'Man Of The House.' What questions have you had about the amazing Spoke Word Scene? Could Rob answer any of them? What does it take to start your own poetry night? What does it take to succeed as a performance poet? What makes the poetry scene unique compared to other arts? Which poet do you know that Rob mentions in this episode? Rob believes that it takes more than a text book to build the skills one needs to succeed in the arts and what's more, he's been there himself. He has had to create and work on building a strong mental stamina alongside his desire and passion of helping others through his work as a Pastor and as someone who gives others a platform on the poetry scene. Be further inspired as Rob leaves you with some personal encouragement, something we could all do with these days ☺️
