Podcast appearances and mentions of francesca beard

Extinction fighters, the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, plus RSPB "Birdsong Radio" mellows all climate change stress harshness. Climate and Hot Poet, Francesca Beard, and the Granthams--the billionaire climate change fighting power couple--double down on serious green investing.

Poet Francesca Beard talks about poetry and lyrics

The final episode in the series presents the 2019 Rathbones Folio Mentorships showcase – readings from this year's young mentees, Adnaan, Aisha and Henna, as introduced by their mentors, Francesca Beard, Louise Doughty and Joe Dunthorne. The Rathbones Folio Mentorships pair 3 - 4 outstanding graduates of First Story's in-school creative writing workshops with members of the Folio Academy for a year of one-to-one mentoring, during which the mentees work on creative writing portfolios.

The 67th Book Slam podcast is brought to you directly (and literally) from the studio floor. Guests include our founder, BEN WATT, of Everything But The Girl fame, reading from and discussing his extraordinary memoir, 'Romany And Tom', poetry from the brilliant WILL BURNS, stunning music from ANOUSHKA LUKAS, and a little snippet of our favourite Beard, FRANCESCA BEARD. Patrick is high on Tramadol and Diazepam, Elliott's high on life.

Book Slam's 53rd podcast sees us put the 'anti' into 'Valantine's day' (sic) as Dan Rhodes launches his excellent collection of short stories, 'Marry Me', Aidan Moffat sings songs about swinging, and Tim Key makes us all feel slightly mad. There's also a snippet of our friend Nikesh Shukla reading his story from 'Too Much Too Young: Book Slam Vol. II' at the very first Book Slam Bristol (hear that country air!). Elliott is Cupid, Patrick is stupid.

Book Slam's 43rd podcast chops the dead wood, sets it ablaze and then burns an effigy of it, on it, so to speak ... Suffice to say, Elliott Jack and Francesca Beard (pictured, © Nick Cunard) introduce Jon McGregor and his brilliant collection of short stories 'This Sort Of Thing Doesn't Happen To Someone Like You', Rachel Rose Reid waxing Dickensian, Heidi Vogel being highly vocal and an ace new short story from Charles Beckett. Elliott steps out of the shadows, Francesca removes his spectacles and says, 'Miss Jones ...'

The second in a unique series of podcasts co-produced by Fuel, Roundhouse and UCL Ear Institute

The 36th edition of the Book Slam podcast features the heroic Jon Ronson (pictured trying to escape) reading from his new book, 'The Psychopath Test', and fighting the fatigue of a rampaging bandwagon; our old sparring partner Francesca Beard showcasing some of her latest poems; and live music from the delightful Hannah Peel. Patrick waxes lyrical, Elliott waxes his scooter.
