Poets on the Radio

Poets on the radio is an audio-essay exploring the conncections between poetry and radio - historical, contemporary and speculative. It draws on various historical works and on interviews with radio producers (and poets) Sean Cole, Ross Sutherland and Pejk Malinovski to map where radio becomes poetry. In times where celebrity chatcasts and AI generated shows are crowding the podcast charts, it is also a plea for more sound forward, experimental and borderless radio storytelling. It ends on the belief that radio can be a meeting place for all kinds of imagination, a door to an expanded consciousness.
