Description

After a few weeks apart, the boys are back with a drop of malbec and some bleeding whopper poems for you.

Anyone who dropped into the Leinster Slam poetry competition last week would have witnessed the power of Cormac Fitz, so it only made sense that we celebrated his win on the show with a poem from the man himself.

Rupi Kaur is up next, as Ryan shares the story of when he received her collection from his sister for Christmas as a present, seemingly one of the better gifts he's received from her over the years.

Over in Liverpool, Cilla Black is apparently not the only red-head to wow the crowds as we share spoken word artist Hayley Gordon on this week's show and share the power of the stage as a way to find yourself.

Michelle Bosonnett has her collection coming out this year, published by Luain press, and we wanted to bring one of those poems to the show, and luckily she has sent us a lovely poem about longing.

We woke up our Agony Aunt this week after a few weeks off to help us with a listener problem all about one-side love.

Our Patreon community are going to be treated with a special monthly episode and a read-along with us, so if you'd like a push to get back into reading, sign up to our Patreon for more details.

Loves ya,
Ryan and Leon
