In this episode, we reflect on Bristol city poets, the Bristol City of Words exhibition and talk to Michael Pederson, author of Boy Friends (Faber), Hollie McNish, Sunday Times bestseller and author of Slug, Malaika Kegode, Festival poet and Kat Lyons, current Bristol city poet. This incredible line-up should be enough to get you to listen or watch this episode, but if you need more incentive, you can hear us talk about friendship, translating dogging to French, starting Milk poetry, changing gender identity after writing a spoken word show, and some advice on starting your journey as a poet!
