SPL Podcasts You May Have Missed
I’ve not updated you all on the last 6 podcasts or so not because I forgot, not because I think you don’t care, not because they aren’t any good — but because I was away from work for a while. So, here’s a list of the fine fine programmes you missed. Special thanks to Colin Fraser and Peggy Hughes of ANON for keeping these going and for doing some interviews for me. If anyone is curious about these and doesn’t know where to start — I highly recommend the amazing Kei Miller who has to stunning collections of poetry and a great novel under his belt. He is a beautiful man. It is a luxury to have him in your ears, I assure you. What are you waiting for? Catch up now!
