Did you ever think you did something awful as a child that didn't actually happen?

Yeah, no, mad to think that's something common and not just you, don't you think? We talk about that today on the podcast after we share a poem that was Nelson Mandela's favourite poem. If you don't know what the Mandela effect is, get ready.

We share the full version of T.S Eliot's masterpiece 'The Love Song Of J Alfred Prufrock as well today, which is as moving a dipiction of getting older as it gets really.

We also have poetry from Christina Hennerman, Aimee Patchell Smith, Ann Bradstreet and a track from Shakalak to wrap up.

Enjoy the podcast, share the news. Thanks to everyone who met us in Wolverhampton too this weekend where we joined Jan Brierton and Henry Normal for a few poems.

Love

Ryan and Leon
