RNIB Connect Radio's Toby Davey is joined again by Vidar Hjardeng MBE, Inclusion and Diversity Consultant for ITV News across England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands for the next of his regular audio described theatre reviews. This week we have a new version of Edmond Rostand's ‘Cyrano de Bergerac' at the Royal Shakespeare Company's Swan Theatre, which Vidar says is one of the best productions he has seen in Stratford-upon-Avon with description by Professional Audio Describers Emily Magdij and Annette Stocken. About ‘Cyrano de Bergerac' ‘No master to serve, no leash to bear. I walk as I please, and I speak as I dare.' Poet, soldier and philosopher. Cyrano de Bergerac burns with brilliance. He's fiercely funny and intensely romantic – but behind the veil of wit is one large problem: his nose. Haunted by doubts and too proud to beg, he watches from the shadows as Roxane – bold, beautiful and seemingly unreachable – falls for another man, Christian. But this handsome, tongue-tied young suitor knows his only hope of charming Roxane is to seduce her with words. And only one person can help… Olivier Award-winning actor Adrian Lester (Riviera, Hustle, National Theatre Othello and Henry V) is Cyrano. Director Simon Evans (Staged, The Dazzle, A Day in the Death of Joe Egg) co-adapts with Debris Stevenson (Poet in Da Corner, My Brother's a Genius), bringing new life to this thrilling, lyrical tale of love and lies, longing and disguise.

In Belfast, good fences can make for bad neighbors. David Cunningham ( Wash U. sociologist, author of There's Something Happening Here and Klansville, U.S.A and frequent RTB visitor) joins John to speak about the Troubles and their aftermath with the brilliant Northern Irish novelist/essayist/memoirist Glenn Patterson. His fiction includes The International (1999) and Where Are We Now? but the conversation's main focus is his two collections of short non-fiction, Lapsed Protestant (2006) and Here's Me Here (2016). Glenn has lifetime of insights about the boundary markers and easy to miss shibboleths that define life in divided places--and in divided times. In Belfast, everyone learns to use words without being marked out: how do you avoid uttering "the one word that gets you killed"? But Troubles that go cold also have a way of heating up again, if we forget, as Glenn puts it, that you can choose who you are. China Mieville's brilliant novel The City and the City is, says Glenn, an allegory for places like Belfast itself, where you have to learn to “unsee” residents of "the other city" even in shared areas. That kind of unseeing, in fiction and in real life, leads to distorted mental maps. Glenn sees the so-called “softening” of the peace walls as among the most pernicious occurrences of the last 40 years, since softening coupled with notion that you simply belong to one of two "communities" is what makes real traffic, real conversation, harder to achieve. He and David agree that all over the world, in ways the echo Belfast although it is rarely spelled out, all sorts of invisible architectural extensions of the security and segregation apparatus hover unobtrusively. Glenn also riffs on the names people dream up for what might lie beyond a Belfast wall's other side, spinning off writer Colin Carberry's proposal: Narnia. Mentioned in the Episode “Love poetry: the RUC and Me” was Glenn's first nonfiction piece back inthe late 1980s. Robert McLiam Wilson: Glenn's friend and fellow Troubles novelist, whose work includes Ripley Bogle (1989). Eoin Macnamie's work includes Resurrection Man (1994). “The C-word” (2014) Glenn's wonderful essay on the trouble that starts when the word "community" gets subdivided into "communities." Padraic Fiacc, sometimes called ”the Poet oft he Troubles” finally has a blue historical marker. That makes Glenn ask why are there are so many "blue plaques" for combatants, so few for non-combatants? The interface zones and the strategic cul de sacs that continue to divide Belfast neighborhoods have been brilliantly detailed and studied by various historians; eg this tour by Neil Jarman, Glenn compares Civil Rights in Northern Ireland in the 1960s with the US Civil Rights movement and with Paris 1968; the 70's bombing campaigns lines up with the actions of the Red Army Faction in Germany. Recallable Books Glennn says his inspiration to write on partition comes from reading Salman Rushdie's Shame and Midnight's Children. He also praises John Dos Passos USA trilogy. David interested in the long tail of a conflict and aingles out Glenn Patterson's own novel, The Northern Bank Job as well as Eoin McNamee The Bureau. Inspired by Glenn's account of how resident learn to see and unsee portions of Belfast, John praises Kevin Lynch's 1960 The Image of the City. Read the episode here. Learn more about your ad choices.

“You speak life—I try to speak life every time I open my mouth,” says One Single Love Rose, and from there this episode blooms into a living archive of Legacy Black Detroit: four generations from Black Bottom to the East Side, Creole kitchens to jazz guitars, a mother born a “call bearer” whose veil marked prophetic gifts, and a daughter who learned in second grade that “words have power—to hurt or heal.” Rose traces family roots from Shreveport red clay to McClellan Street porches, then walks us into Detroit's spoken-word renaissance, where she evolved from page to stage—touring Europe, mentoring “great-mentees,” and crafting sets that move “from the bedroom to the boardroom.” She breaks down playful, sensual erotics done “with love,” the discipline of listening for spirit at 3 a.m., and why young writers must “write for everybody so you can go everywhere.” It's an irresistible, funny, soulful ride that ties Black Bottom's vanished jazz bars to the future of Detroit's cultural power—proof that when Detroit women speak life, the city's ancestors answer back, and tomorrow's artists find their cue.

One of the founders of the Language School of Poetry reads from his new books, "Letter To Poetry" and "Simple Syrup."
Iain Thomas is a poet, author, and the Chief Innovation Officer at Sounds Fun—an advertising and creative agency that he co-founded with the belief that human creativity could be enhanced, rather than diminished, with the help of AI. It's a realization that actually began to dawn on Iain a few years prior, after his mother died. He wasn't sure how to explain death to his children, so he turned to an early version of ChatGPT for help—and was so impressed by the poetry of its responses that he came away convinced of AI's immense potential as a thought partner for his creative work. On this episode, Iain talks about using AI to make more space for the creative parts of your work, and why, in a world where everyone has access to the same tools, it's never been more important to lean into the skills, context, and experiences that make each of us most unique—and most human.Learn more about Sounds Fun soundsfun.co~ ~ ~Working Smarter is brought to you by Dropbox Dash—the AI universal search and knowledge management tool from Dropbox.

This week on Cold War Cinema, we look at Boris Barnet's Poet (sometimes refered to as The Poet), a 1956 feature about the role of art and literature in war and revolution.

This week, Mike and Mike are tackling THE POET, released in the US as HEARTS OF WAR, and this one... might just be the worst movie we've ever talked about on this podcast. Not just of this season, we mean ever. A World War II romantic epic between (checks notes) a Nazi soldier and a Jewish woman, the film stars Roy Scheider alongside Nina Dobrev, Daryl Hannah, and a conspicuous boom mic popping in and out of frame.

In this conversation, Harman Kaur shares her journey as a writer and mother, discussing her poetry collections, Phulkari and Call Me Home. She reflects on the nurturing support from her parents, the challenges of motherhood, and the cultural expectations surrounding it.

She also touches on the impact of marriage on her creative process and the significance of self-care in her busy life as a mother and writer.
Let's talk about the elephant in the room, and the 5 questions you MUST ask your next lover. Leonarda Minutillo is a poet, writer, teacher, mom, and speaker (even in ASL). She studied at York University in Toronto with an Honours BA with Physical Education /Psychology; B.Ed at University of Toronto; Deaf Ed at York University; and then, with an International Rotary Scholarship attended Gallaudet University in WDC, the only university in the world tailored to Deaf students. It was a dream come true. Leonarda is now making a big career shift slowly leaving the classroom and stepping into the role of writer and poet where she has not only found great healing but also a long-awaited connection to her intuition. After publishing her first poetry book, "The Day I Bought a Teddy Bear and a Vibrator", Leonarda says the whole process has been incredibly transformational. In episode 608 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out what inspired Leonarda to start writing poetry and how that helped to reclaim her voice, how learning to listen to her intuition changed the trajectory of her life, how college students can channel creativity to heal from heartbreak or self-doubt, how she defines self-love in a world where people often seek validation from others, what are the 5 conscious questions to ask a potential lover so you can take care of yourself, what is the P.I.E. Principle, how studying at Gallaudet University shaped her perspective on communication and connection, how young people learn to see endings as beginnings, what role does community play in healing and self-discovery, how transitioning from teaching to writing and speaking full time taught her courage, and what advice she would give her younger self. Enjoy!

EPYSODE 58: "Willie Nile", by Willie Nile. Guest: Willie Nile. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. This week we spotlight the electric, poetic debut of Willie Nile, whose 1980 self-titled album emerged straight from the streets of New York's post-punk underground and instantly drew comparisons to Dylan, Springsteen, and Lou Reed. With exclusive commentary from Willie himself, we revisit the making of this cult classic, recorded in the heart of Manhattan during a time when punk grit met folk wisdom. From the raw energy of “Vagabond Moon” to the street-lit soul of “That's the Reason,” Nile reflects on the scenes and sounds that shaped his early songs. Discovered by Clive Davis and praised by The Who, this album remains a landmark for fans of literate rock 'n' roll. Whether you're discovering it for the first time or dropping the needle again, this epysode captures the urgency and charm of an artist who's never stopped chasing truth through song. Spoiler alert: he's still going strong. His newest album may be his best... I hope you dig "Willie Nile" as much as I do. - Farmer John ===CONNECT & SUPPORT=== Transport yourself into the realm of grooviness by supporting us on Patreon using this link --> patreon.com/FarmerJohnMusic Use this link to follow us on Facebook --> https://www.facebook.com/farmerjohnmusic/ Use this link to follow us on Instagram --> https://www.instagram.com/vinylrelics/ Use this link to follow us on TikTok --> https://www.tiktok.com/@vinylrelicspodcast Use this link to follow us on BlueSky --> https://bsky.app/profile/farmerjohnmusic.bsky.social And find us on X @VinylRelicsPod Email me @ farmerjohnmusic@gmail.com ===LINKS=== Check Willie's website for merch, tour info, newsletters and more: https://www.willienile.com ===THE MUSIC=== Songs used in this Epysode, in order of appearance.

10/22/25 - John Bradburne's journey from England to the heart of Africa is a story unlike any other. A decorated World War II veteran and Oxford-educated poet, he spent years wandering through Europe and the Holy Land in search of God's will. His path ultimately led him to Zimbabwe, where he devoted himself to caring for men and women with Hansen's disease at the Mutemwa Leprosy Settlement. Living in a tin hut with a rosary in hand and the Eucharist at the center of his life, John restored dignity to those society had abandoned. When he refused to abandon the lepers during the Rhodesian Bush War, he was kidnapped and killed in 1979, dying as he had lived in fidelity to Christ. Today, with thousands of documented favors through his intercession, John Bradburne's cause for canonization is advancing, and he is remembered as a modern pilgrim-poet and martyr of charity.

In this episode of The MisFitNation, host Rich LaMonica welcomes U.S. Air Force Veteran Peter Gunn — a bodybuilder, poet, guitarist, and visionary creative on a mission to awaken minds and restore artistry to storytelling. Peter's story spans 20 years of honorable military service, a lifelong passion for poetry, and a deep spiritual journey inspired by a near-death experience at age seven. He's the founder of LLP (Linked-Lyrical-Poetry), creator of The Amazons series — rewriting the hero's journey through a feminine lens — and the visionary behind the Sigma Squad graphic novel series based on ancient Gnostic texts. Now, as the lead guitarist for The Angellics, Peter blends philosophy, poetry, and rock to explore themes of awakening, courage, and consciousness. Their debut album Hazing Hades dropped on August 17, 2025, marking another chapter in his creative evolution.

Emma Zeck, is a poet, singer, songwriter, and performing artist, and the creator of Renaissance Mystery School. She channels what she calls the forbidden feminine and invites us to reclaim our power through creativity, ritual, and raw truth.Emma and I dive into her story of breaking away from a strict Christian upbringing, losing her family, and finding her voice as a fierce creative force. We talk about what it means to descend into the underworld of the feminine, why facing darkness and death matters, and how writing, art, and embodiment can become medicine for spiritual awakening.She shares her thoughts on the ways society suppresses instinct and mystery, the trap of purity culture even in wellness, what it really takes to live unapologetically in your fire, and to reclaim your voice as a woman in the process. Emma even reads one of her powerful poems live—and wow, it will blow you away.This is a fiery, real conversation that asks you to question, to descend, and to allow yourself to hunger for more.

On this week's episode of The 1 Girl Revolution Podcast, we welcome Sara Rian - writer, poet, and therapist. Sara's story is one of profound loss, transformation, passion, and purpose. In 2018, Sara lost her mother to suicide - a devastating loss that changed the trajectory of her life. That pain became a catalyst for her creative and professional journey, pulling her deeper into writing, therapy, and helping others find light in the darkness. Today, Sara uses her gifts as both a writer and therapist to create spaces where others can explore grief, mental health, and healing without shame. Her writing is raw, tender, and deeply human - and through her words, she reminds us that even our most broken parts can become pathways to love, empathy, and understanding. Sara is the author of several deeply moving books, including Then Death Came, Find Me There, Loving the Gone, We Are Carried, and more — all circling around the themes of loss, love, and what it means to be carried through pain into purpose. This episode is part of our Every Woman, Every Girl campaign — celebrating the truth that every woman and every girl has power, purpose, and a story worth telling. And Sara embodies that message so beautifully. In this episode, you'll hear: ✨ Sara's story growing up and the early experiences that shaped her; ✨ How the loss of her mother in 2018 transformed her life and inspired her to write; ✨ The healing power of poetry and storytelling - and how it became her refuge; ✨ How her work as a therapist and her writing intersect to help others heal; ✨ What she's learned about grief, love, and resilience; ✨ Her advice for women and girls searching for purpose or healing; ✨ And so much more!
Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss 'the greatest poet of his age', Thomas Wyatt (1503 -1542), who brought the poetry of the Italian Renaissance into the English Tudor world, especially the sonnet, so preparing the way for Shakespeare and Donne. As an ambassador to Henry VIII and, allegedly, too close to Anne Boleyn, he experienced great privilege under intense scrutiny. Some of Wyatt's poems, such as They Flee From Me That Sometime Did Me Seek, are astonishingly fresh and conversational and yet he wrote them under the tightest constraints, when a syllable out of place could have condemned him to the Tower.
