Leather Armchairs, Air Fryers, Selkies and Cheese

In this episode, Dr Hawthorne is back and, together with Prof Ashford and Dr Whitfield, they mourn the loss of an old colleague and friend, who may have very well been the inspiration behind the podcast. So join the whole gang as they look at the meaning of language and how each poetry lover processes things in their own way.

Whether you're curious about poetry or as desperately seeking reassurance that you are not alone, join Eleanor and Jonathan as they honor the beauty of words and the artists who crafted them, reminding us that poetry never truly dies—sometimes it's just misconstrued.
