Finally, after the mother of all delays, it’s the second and probably final Words Aloud podcast!

It’s well worth the wait though as Joanne Mateer, our blackboard custodian and Words Aloud crew member, chats to one of our regular performers, Richard Crowther. Last year, Richard spent some time in the US and took part in poetry slams in New York and Seattle.

Here, he discusses his experience perfoming in America and its similarites and differences to the UK. It’s a right riveting listen and a highly recommended way to spend twenty minutes of your time.

Enjoy!
