The podcast
What is it?
I Hate Poetry is a comedy podcast where I, a man who hates poetry, get dragged kicking and screaming towards enjoying it by one of my oldest mates, the literature whiz Charlie Pidcock.
Each episode we read poems and pull them apart: my ridiculous interpretations against Charlie's actual knowledge. There are themed specials, poems sent in by listeners, and poets as guests.
Behind the mic I make the whole thing: I record it, edit and master it, and I made the branding, the website and the marketing.
