“Spending time in hell is not my idea of something that one should do,” says poet Lorna Goodison, yet she immersed herself there for years to create her extraordinary modern Jamaican translation of Dante's Inferno. We are thrilled to offer this conversation between Pádraig and Lorna, recorded as an online component of the Greenbelt Festival in England in 2025. She reads from her work, and together, they discuss Lorna's inspiration for her underworld undertaking, how she found her Virgil, and why she calls The Inferno “bitter, necessary medicine for now.”   We invite you to subscribe to Pádraig's weekly Poetry Unbound Substack, read the Poetry Unbound books and his newest work, Kitchen Hymns, or listen to all our Poetry Unbound episodes.  Caribbean poet Lorna Goodison was born in Kingston, Jamaica. She was appointed Poet Laureate of Jamaica in 2017. In 2018, she received a Windham-Campbell Literature Prize, and in 2019 she was awarded the Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry.Find the transcript for this show at onbeing.org.

The latest guest in our ‘Bred a Blue' series has had quite an eventful football journey since making his one and only first team appearance for Everton. Chris Long netted a friendly goal against Paderborn as a teenager and played at Goodison in the Europa League before accepting that the level of competition for striking places was just too much...although in hindsight he wishes he'd signed the three-year deal that Roberto Martinez offered him. “I was fuming when we signed Samuel Eto'o,” he grins, looking back at his struggle to break through. “We had Jelavic, and Lukaku was on fire. Arouna Kone was there too, but I knew I was better than him!” Chris Long can also name Harry Kane and Eric Dier as teammates, and he admits that he never saw an England record breaker when he first partnered the current Three Lions captain in an international youth team. And he credits a current Everton Academy staff member with helping Dier become an international Premier League footballer. After leaving Everton, Long played for Sean Dyche, worked with David Weir, got knocked out on his debut for Motherwell and quickly learned that being a professional footballer isn't always the glamorous existence it seems. “Everyone thinks it's sunshine and rainbows but it's actually not. I've had more lows than highs and I wish I'd had more highs than lows but it's the best job in the world and I love it. I thought I'd be Everton's number nine for years and be the main man but football isn't like that. And life isn't like that. But at least I can tell my son I played for Everton.” Chris Long's career has been something of a rollercoaster but he's back enjoying his football and is looking forward to the start of a new season…on the other side of the world!

The ITV pundit was on duty on Tuesday night as England cruised past Latvia to book their spot at next summer's World Cup. Everton stopper Pickford was selected between the sticks by boss Thomas Tuchel, keeping his ninth consecutive clean sheet for his country on his 80th appearance. And while ex-Arsenal star Dixon was full of praise, he questioned why Pickford had not chosen to move to a ‘bigger club'.

EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/efc Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee In a special edition of the Royal Blue podcast, Mick Rathbone is Chris Beesley's guest with the former Everton physio having brought out his new book The Smell Of Football III. The no-nonsense full-back started his playing career at home city club Birmingham before spells at Blackburn Rovers, Preston North End – where he first worked alongside David Moyes – and Halifax Town before swapping his boots for the physio's bag. Nicknamed ‘Baz' after actor Basil Rathbone, who was famous for playing Sherlock Holmes, he shares an array of anecdotes about his two spells at Everton, the first of which lasted from 2002-2010.Mick, 66, recalls how he was initially scared to take up a role at Goodison Park and tried to price himself out of a move, how he won favour with an intimidating Duncan Ferguson when first arriving through the door, how he was often on the receiving end of players' practical jokes and how he made up a story about the manner of his departure that prompted Moyes to get straight on the phone to him.When it comes to his book, the third and final part of the highly acclaimed The Smell Of Football trilogy is told with flair and unique insider insight. Mick concludes his riveting football memoir with a 100-day diary starting in the early 2024/5 season.  Once again, he brings us a unique insight into the world of professional football, this time through his role as a physio. Written with humour and candour, the book demonstrates that incredibly fine line between winning and losing – the width of a goalpost or a referee's decision – and the diametrically opposed emotions they bring.This book is for diehard fans who support their team unconditionally, season after season. It will show them just how much the players and officials really do care and, sadly, just how painful and emotionally draining defeat is.  It is an honest account that draws on the author's incredible 50 years in professional sport, bringing to life the day to day running of a professional football club.Link to the book:https://www.pitchpublishing.co.uk/shop/smell-football-iii Chris Beesley's Book: Spirit of the Blues: https://tinyurl.com/35yrkvdb *Emotional farewell to Goodison Park | 16-page Everton souvenir picture special:*  https://shop.regionalnewspapers.co.uk/liverpool-echo-monday-19th-may-2025-4583-p.asp *Goodbye to Goodison special souvenir edition:*  https://tinyurl.com/GoodbyeGoodisonSouvenir *Gavin Buckland's Book 'The End' | Order your copy here:* https://tinyurl.com/GavinBucklandTheEnd Everton FC podcasts from the Liverpool ECHO's Royal Blue YouTube channel.
