Frank Skinner fell in love with poetry as a student. Now he’s putting his passion to good use in a fantastic new podcast. Too many shows about poetry have an aura of elitism about them – not this one. Each week Skinner reads and talks about a few poems he admires: he knows what he likes and does a good job of communicating why. Start with the episode on the Beat Poets.
