The Poetry’s Dead Podcast x Leaving Cert Special!

Well. Kind of. We couldn’t do a whole bloody show about it, that would be as dull as doing the actually exams. 

But! We’ve got a few leaving cert stories from Leon, poetry from Eavan Boland @eavanbolandpoetry (anyone over 22 that just got a shot of PTSD, don’t worry, you don’t have to do the leaving cert again) and the defining poem of this apparently life defining time called Leaving Cert from Leon himself

We get a reminder of the how fun running can be with Josefin Anna Friberg @josefinlequeen, feel the disappointment of opening a biscuit tin and finding bloody knitting equipment with the help of Eva Mary Lucy @evamarylucy and a very special segment on Irelands only, current living mythical being and wizard, the incredible Pat Ingoldsby (thanks to @seanwatmorepoetry) for his help on this one.

We also give a nudge about our poetry competition running in association with @the_poetryedit, head over to their page for all the info ❤️

Released on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and load of other places Monday morning. All the links are up in the bio (including Ryan’s book, our Patreon and the competition so have a gander)

Best of luck to all the amazing students across the next two weeks, and give us a listen yis belters
