This podcast is an absolute must listen if you were lucky enough to be at the Oasis concert last weekend at Croke Park. Leon was there, and spends a lot of this podcast gushing over Liam and Noel Gallagher, which we should all be here for.

We look then to the Glastonbury of Ireland, Electric Picnic which kicks off August 29th. We take the best poetry of the festival and give you a peak into what is coming at The Word stage this year. 

We also have Jan Brierton on, sharing the schedule for the Manifesto stage which includes Roisin Ingle and Rosie O'Donnell. Crazy.

Thanks again to everyone new to the podcast. If you like the show, we'd really appreciate you shouting about it, both offline and online ideally!

Roll on the picnic

Ryan and Leon
