Three genial enthusiasts read and discuss poetry.

Rainer Maria Rilke - Part 01
We blunder our way through our first ever poet in translation with predictably confused results. Our victim this time is revered Austrian poet Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926).
Poems:
Evening
The Panther
Archaic Torso of Apollo -
-
John Keats
We tackle one of the almighty greats of English poetry with predictably sketchy results.
'Reading King Lear', and odes on 'Melancholy' and 'A Grecian Urn' befuddle us plenty. -

Customer Reviews
Brilliant!
Pull up a chair, pour yourself a pint, and join these three blokes as they discuss and analyze poetry as you’ve never heard it explored before. Whether you currently like/appreciate poetry or not, you will after an hour with these three.
Excellent Podcast
One of the best podcasts I happen to stumble upon. Love the poetry reads, the analysis of each poem, and the witty banter that sometimes comes along with it. Add the magnificent English accent, and I can sit in my car for hours just listening.
