Frank Skinner’s Poetry Podcast, which features his favourite classic and contemporary poems, is to launch its eleventh series.
The podcast offers readings, analysis, and commentary on both familiar and lesser-known poets—week by week.
Originally launched in April 2020 to widespread critical acclaim, Frank Skinner’s Poetry Podcast quickly rose through the podcast charts regularly reaching the top spot nationwide and has maintained a dedicated following ever since.
The upcoming six-part series will explore the work of poets past and present, including R.S. Thomas, Jack Clemo, Amy Clampitt, Rebecca Goss, Scott McKendry, and Greta Stoddart.
Speaking about the new series, Frank said: “Proud and excited to be putting out series 11 of my poetry podcast.
“It includes a poem about scrap cars, a poem about a village swimming teacher, a poem about the Flintstones, and a poem about three tulips in a milk bottle. And they’re all brilliant.
“There’s another amazing poem that I recited in a church pulpit near Aberystwyth to sympathetic locals. You’ll have to listen to find out why.”
Frank Skinner’s Poetry Podcast series 11, produced by Avalon, will be available from Wednesday 23 July on all major podcast platforms.
