It's taken ages but we've finally stopped sunbathing and watching the World Cup to bring to you the final episode of the series!

Few weeks break and we are back with giddyness, giggles and ballads galore! I think you can tell we missed you lot with the amount of absolute nonsense we are spouting on the show this week in between the laughs. We do however bring poems too, with pieces from Dana Gioia, Dostoevsky, Sam Tovey and a returning agony aunt! Enjoy, tell your mates and leave us really sound reviews, g'wan!

This week's show we keep it a little lighter, but I think in doing so we accidentally got a bit macho. Nightmare really. Especially that chat we have about what dog should you aspire to be. That was definitely a toxic conversation lol. Anyway! Poems this week about being sound, being brave, being aware, being alert to the way you show up in the world and we also have a poem about the naivety of human kindness thanks to James Tate's 'Good Time Jesus'. If you'd like to see this mess of a show i...
