Dr. James Kidd at our Louisiana clinics discusses all things summer allergy with host Liz Edwards.  Dr. Kidd describes when certain grass pollens are at their highest in Louisiana and why most people who have grass allergies in the South are probably already in a chronic phase of suffering. Learn how exercising outdoors during these summer months can trigger a slew of exercise-induced symptoms: urticaria, asthma, even anaphylaxis. (Dr. Kidd shares insight on food-dependent, exercise-induced anaphylaxis, too, which is common among elite athletes.) This podcast is packed with summer allergy tips about insect bites, bee stings, and heat-induced hives as well, so don't miss it!

Host Liz Edwards introduces us to Dr. James Kidd, an allergist at our Louisiana offices who is Baton Rouge born and raised! Learn how Dr. Kidd became interested in medicine at an early age, why he chose allergy as his specialty, and what to expect during a first visit as a new patient. 

The following was supposed to be a Patreon release but James in all his glory forgot to the add the cuts as intros to 114 Dullahan and 115 Death Coach, so here it is for everyone in all it's glory!

Is this how John Keats would have sounded reading his great sonnet Bright Star? Dr Ranjan Sen has a better idea than most. A scholar specialising in phonology and phonetics at the University of Sheffield, Ranjan researched how English was spoken in the early 19th century (not least ----more----by a London Cockney) for the cyber-resurrection of John Keats organised by Oxford's Institute of Digital Archaelogy in 2021.  Read Bright Star here. The full conversation will be posted in the coming days. For now, listen to this trailer in which Ranjan reads Bright Star as he believes Keats would have. Enormous thanks to Ranjan.  Listen to James Kidd read and discuss Bright Star here.

At the end of 2020, the Keats-Shelley Podcast spoke to Erica Jong, the bestselling novelist, feminist icon and poet. In fact Erica was a poet before she was a novelist, publishing two poetry volumes making her name with 1973's Fear of Flying. While fiction has dominated her literay output, she has continued to release poetry throughout her 50 year career.  Indeed, the inspiration for our own conversation was a poem she wrote in 1975: 'Dear Keats', which we found while researching John Keats' epitaph 'Here lies one whose name was writ in water' during 2021's Keats-Shelley Prizes (Erica's poem quotes the line for her own purposes).  Part of the interview has appeared: Erica offered some writing advice to our Young Romantics.  We are sending the full audio version to Friends of the Keats-Shelley Memorial Association before releasing to the general podcast public later in 2022.  You can learn more about Erica Jong at www.ericajong.com The Keats-Shelley Podcast is hosted by James Kidd.

On 15th July 1821, 19-year-old Maria Cotterell died in Naples of consumption. Her name may well have been forgotten if she hadn't sailed to Italy on the Maria Crowther, alongside 24-year-old John Keats. In this episode, we tell Maria's story - including new discoveries about her death, her brief encounter with Keats and her treatment by posterity. ----more---- Subscribe to the Keats-Shelley Podcast for all new episodes or Follow us on Spotify.

We talk to Turner Prize-winning artist Mark Wallinger about his life and career - and more specifically, his love of John Keats.

This month's podcast is a recording of a webinar that was first broadcasted on 28 April. David D’Souza (CIPD) and James Kidd looked to predict what a return to the workplace will look like, or if indeed there will be such a return for many workers, and the issues arising from this.

In this episode of our 'Writ in Water' series, the Keats-Shelley Prize Podcast talks to Nicholas Stanley-Price about the 300-year history of the Non-Catholic Cemetery in Rome.----more---- Read about 2021's Keats-Shelley Prize. Read about 2021's Young Romantics Prize. For poetry lovers, this is the place where both John Keats and PB Shelley are buried, not far from their friends Joseph Severn and Edward Trelawny, and also Shelley's 3-year-old son, William.  But the Cemetery's story is far longer and broader than that of these Romantic graves, which is why Nicholas is the perfect guide to steer us from its origins in Testaccio to its modern history in 21st century Rome, from Keats' funeral to the vexed question of what to call the Protestant/Non-Catholic/Acattolico Cemetery/Cimitero. After a career which included high level posts at UNESCO, ICCROM (International Conservation Organization, Rome) and the Getty Conservation Institute in Los Angeles, Nicholas settled in Rome and joined the Cemetery's Advisory Committee. He has written two books about its 300-year history: The Non-Catholic Cemetery in Rome and The Graves in Rome of Keats and Shelley.  We talked on the bicentenary of Keats' funeral on 26th February 1821. I began by asking Nicholas about another bicentenary commemoration: the memorial service that marked the 200th anniversary of Keats' death, which took place at the Cemetery only a few days earlier. We rewound rapidly to explore the history of Testaccio in general and the Cemetery in particular before focussing on John Keats himself. Nicholas narrated the events of Keats' funeral, before tracing the grave's slow rise in prominence as a place of pilgrimage. Having noted some famous early visitors - Charles Dickens, George Eliot and Henry James - we conclude by outlining the challenges facing the Cemetery in 2021 - Covid, conservation and how to balance its purpose as an active place of burial with its attractions as a tourist site.  Please support the Non-Catholic Cemetery by becoming a Friend, or by buying Nicholas's books available only via their website.  Subscribe to the podcast for all new episodes.   Follow us on Twitter Like us on Facebook Follow us on Instagram Subscribe to us on YouTube This podcast was written and presented by James Kidd.

How did John Keats influence Christina Rossetti and the Pre-Raphaelites? In this episode of our Writ in Water series inspired by John Keats' epitaph – ‘Here lies one whose name was writ in water' – we talk to Dr Dinah Roe about Christina Rossetti, her sonnet 'On Keats' - and more widely about how Keats influenced the Pre-Raphaelite artists.

In this mini Keats-Shelley Prize Podcast, Dr Dinah Roe reads and discusses two poems by Dante Gabriel Rossetti that quote John Keats' epitaph 'Here lies one whose name was writ in water'. The first was also a sonnet ('John Keats'); the second a fragment included in a letter to the other Rossetti brother, William Michael. ----more---- Our brief chat touched on Dante Gabriel's aspiration to out-Cockney John Keats in the rhyming department.

On 23rd February 2021, the 200th anniversary of John Keats' death in Rome, the Keats-Shelley Prize Podcast recorded a conversation with Dr Dinah Roe about Christina Rossetti's sonnet 'On Keats', which quotes his epitaph 'Here lies one whose name was writ in water'.----more---- We finished around 10.30pm and to mark the occasion read two poems in Keats' honour: 'This living hand now warm and capable' and 'Where be ye going you Devon maid'.

What does it mean to writ(e) in water? And even more, what does it mean to write 'writ in water' on stone? Or is that in stone? These are all questions raised by John Keats' epitaph, 'Here lies one whose name was writ in water'. Which is why the Keats-Shelley Podcast called Adam Smyth, Professor of English Literature at Balliol College, Oxford, and an expert in Material Texts: or the study of people writing with weird things on weird surfaces.----more---- Subscribe to the Keats-Shelley Podcast or Follow us on Spotify. We began by asking Adam to describe what a 'material text' might be, and what it means to study them. As well as telling us about poems written in glass and invsible ink (lemon juice to you and me), he cast an eye over Keats' epitaph, and pondered the fine distinction between writing 'in water' and 'on water'.  Read about 2021's Keats-Shelley Prize.

John Keats writing his last poem 'Bright star' on the Maria Crowther is one of the great myths of the poet's tragic last months. Inspired by retracing Keats' Final Journey on Google Earth, we ask: what if were true? How might it change our reading of one of his greatest sonnets?

Dr. Kidd is a philosopher at the University of Nottingham, concerned with epistemological vices: fractures in the way that humans come to understand their world. One intriguing philosophical problem that Dr. Kidd has considered recently is the idea of misanthropy: the suspicion that humans have, on balance, done a lot of bad during their tenure on Earth. But misanthropy is not the same as selective hatreds of racism, sexism, or other supremacist ideologies. To the extent that a misanthropist harbors hatred, it is directed at humans as a whole. However, hateful, enemy-of-humanity type misanthropists are actually by far in the minority. Most misanthropists have real hope for improving their species. Our conversation investigates the applications and pitfalls of a misanthropic mindset, and also explores tangental ideas like animal morality, what separates humans as a species, and the evolutionary psychology of species-level suspicions.

Simon Barnes, the award-winning sportswriter, revered birder and Chair of 2020 and 2021's Keats-Shelley Prizes, tells us about his love of birds and birding and why songbirds were so important to the Romantic poets.----more---- Read about 2021's Keats-Shelley Prize. Read about 2021's Young Romantics Prize. Subscribe to the Keats-Shelley Podcast or Follow us on Spotify. This conversation was inspired by 2020's Keats-Shelley Prize theme of Songbird.   Simon Barnes is unique in the world of literature. How many revered sports writers are also revered nature writers too? Off the top of my head I can think of one: Simon Barnes himself. For many years the chief sports of the Times, he covered seven Olympics, five World Cups, a Superbowl and the World Chess Championship. His profiles included everyone from David Beckham to Red Rum, his publications range from novels about Hong Kong to a biography about England off-spinner Phil Edmunds.  For more about Simon Barnes visit: simonbarnesauthor.co.uk What elevated Barnes above his peers was prose that could pithily encapsulate the drama simmering underneath the surface action: ‘With Sampras the beauty was subtle, the tactics and execution obvious. With Federer, it was exactly the other way around,' as he wrote in his 2018 career-spanning retrospective, Epic. As is shown by his reading from his excellent The Meaning of Birds, Barnes has brought similarly acute sensitivity to his accounts of the natural work - and of birds and birdsong above all.    This is one reason we approached Simon to be the Chair of 2020's Keats-Shelley and Young Romantics Prizes - for poetry and essays. Our annual theme was 'Songbirds', to mark the composition 200 years ago of PB Shelley's To a Skylark and the publication in book form of John Keats' Ode to a Nightingale.   Follow us on Twitter Like us on Facebook Follow us on Instagram Subscribe to us on YouTube Learn more about the Keats-Shelley House and our KeatsShelley200 Bicentenary programme.

Bestselling sports journalist and nature writer Simon Barnes ponders one of Romantic poetry's big questions: what's the big deal with poets and nightingales? Reading from his book The Meaning of Birds, Simon examines nightingales in the poetry of John Keats and John Clare – and asks another question: which poet doesn't know his nightingale from his nightshirt?----more---- Simon Barnes was the Prize Chair of 2020's Keats-Shelley Prizes.
