UNDERNEATH THE RADAR/ROAD TO NOWHERE
This is the first of our podcast series, established in response to the COVID-19 lockdown. Some of the works here draw on the themes of the cancelled March and April live events, but our themes are never compulsory, and it’s no surprise to find the pandemic being mentioned in several of the works. This podcast also includes a rare song for a Words Out Loud event, where the focus is on spoken word. We greatly appreciate those who contributed work to this inaugural podcast.
