    Sue: The poet who didn't know it

    Lancashire Poet Sue Dempsey (think of Pam Ayres with an Accrington accent) became Storyteller of the Year within a few months of joining the Success Stories club. In this episode she describes where she finds the inspiration for her poems. She reads several of her funny poems on a range of themes from the drama of clothes-shopping and dieting, to her sister’s Spanish holiday romance, so be careful what you say to Sue… you might end up immortalised in verse.

    Penn: The Welsh wizard

    84 year-old performance poet Pennant Roberts reminisces about his early trials of doing performance poetry on street corners and in working men’s clubs, and the advantages of experiencing ‘dying’ onstage at least once. His funny tale takes us back to his schooldays when it was acceptable for teachers to throw blackboard rubbers at pupils and any of those pupils asking questions were frowned upon. He ends the episode with his beautiful poem ‘Shrinking Giants or Positively the Last Welsh Dragon.’
