  • Summary

  • Episode 4 is a deep dive into all things poetic. We'll be chatting to Lisa, Alison and Pádraig from the Distant Voices community, and hearing a set of poems created by Pádraig Ó Tuama and the Vox Unbound Community as part of a project called Making Things New. Woven together from everyday observations and encounters, this multilayered poetry collection gives glimpses of the pressures, the despair and the hope of new beginnings after prison. We'll reflect on how creative practice can help spark connections between people with very different life experiences, and we'll ponder what poetry can do in the face of systemic violence. Diana, Brunilda, Martin and Graeme will be our guest listeners, responding to a song from the archive by Andy Robertson with Lucy Cathcart Frödén. We'll also hear some delicious tasters of the brand new Echoes EP from the Vox Unbound Community, written with C Duncan, Kris Drever and Jonnie Common. Together, we'll think about how the bridges we build can have strong columns that reach from foundations in connected communities towards broader processes of social change.
